Data-Planet Statistical Ready Reference provides simple and refined searching of the extensive Data-Planet repository of standardized and structured statistical data.
This dataset provides prototype estimates of personal consumption expenditures (PCE) for states in 16 expenditure categories that correspond to the national-level expenditure categories published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). PCE represents the goods and services purchased by or on behalf of households, plus the purchases of nonprofit institutions serving households, and includes expenditures of residents on activities outside of the state. The estimates are provided for eight categories of goods and seven categories of services, and for net expenditures of nonprofit institutions serving households. The PCE-by-state estimates are reported in current dollars, and reflect variation in both prices and quantities. These prototype statistics will be further assessed, with continued review of the estimation methodology and incorporation of improved data sources, and BEA projects a release of official statistics in 2015.
