README
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States (US) both nominal and real on
an annual and quarterly basis. Annual data is provided since 1930 and quarterly
data since 1947. Both total GDP (levels) and annualized percentage change in
GDP are provided. Both levels and changes are available both in current dollars
(nominal GDP) and in chained 2017 dollars (real GDP). Data is sourced from US
Government's Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and provided in standardized
CSV.
## Data
The calculation of GDP and, in particular, chained measures of GDP involves
some complexities. You can read more about the benefits and issues of BEA's
Chain Indexes in the [BEA's 1997 Survey of Current Business][bea-1997].
