BEA's Economic Accounts

Behind the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis' (BEA's) market-moving statistics, like gross domestic product, corporate profits, and consumer prices, is a world-leading but little-known measurement framework—our system of economic accounts. We'll dive deeper into that system with a four-part series of Survey of Current Business articles that begins with an overview and then moves on to discuss BEA's International, National, and Regional Economic Accounts and how they work together to provide a comprehensive picture of the U.S. economy.
