Presentations in UNSNA Accounts and US National Accounts
In the UNSNA standard "product account", gross output is the largest aggregate, and it is shown how GDP is derived from it, via subtracting intermediate consumption. However, in the American NIPA system, no annual totals for gross output and intermediate consumption are shown in the product account, the focus being on GDP and its components only - gross output and intermediate consumption are cited only in the input-output tables compiled for intermittent years. Thus, to find annual data for gross output and intermediate consumption of the United States, one needs to refer to UNSNA data sets. The estimates for components of US gross output in UNSNA and NIPA differ somewhat, because NIPA accounts do not fully conform to the UN standard.

Famous quotes containing the words accounts and/or national:
“... by and large, wife-changing and high office are not compatible. This inequity accounts for the many dull women in Washington and is the cause of much smug complacency on the distaff side of political marriages.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
““Five o’clock tea” is a phrase our “rude forefathers,” even of the last generation, would scarcely have understood, so completely is it a thing of to-day; and yet, so rapid is the March of the Mind, it has already risen into a national institution, and rivals, in its universal application to all ranks and ages, and as a specific for “all the ills that flesh is heir to,” the glorious Magna Charta.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
