UPDATE on GDP: Revised data show knowledge-related business investment declined slightly in 4Q 2022 but not as much as previously thought

BEA’s Second Estimate of GDP in the fourth quarter of 2022 (4Q 2022) shows GDP grew by an annual rate of 2.9% in 4Q 2022 and 2.1% for all of 2022. This is slight lower that the BEA’s Advanced Estimate that showed GDP grew by an annual rate of 2.9% in 4Q 2022 and 2.1% for all of 2022 see earlier posting. In a change, the revised data shows investment in R&D up by 1.7% whereas the earlier data showed a slight decline. The levels of investment in information processing equipment (down 27.5%) and software (up 14%) were not significantly changed by the new data.
