INTRODUCTION
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) prepares a comprehensive
set of subnational economic projections as part of its regular work
program. These projections -- commonly referred to as the OBERS
Economic Projections -- arc regularly revised on a 5-year cycle.
The most recent set was published in 1974 and many of the results,
based on 1971 data, have since been invalidated by unanticipated
economic developments which occurred during 1972-77. The Environ-
mental Protection Agency (EPA) uses these projections in many of its
planning programs and it therefore contracted with BE<\ to prepare
revised projections of the State level results incorporating the
most recent historical data. These revisions have been prepared
through the year 2000.
Local planners and other data analysts frequently have special
knowledge of trends prevailing in their selected regions of the
country. Therefore, it was decided that the validity of the final
results would be considerably enhanced by the incorporation of local
review comments on a set of "first-cut" projections. Review agencies
in each State were identified by EPA and "first-cut" projections were
transmitted for review. Following these reviews, BEA incorporated
related critical comments (to the extent possible) into a finalized
set of projections. The results of this effort are presented in this
report. These projections should not be considered as part of the
regular OBERS program. Revisions of the entire system of OBERS pro-
jections will continue on the regular schedule.

Local analysts utilizing these results should bear in mind
that no pretext is made of having incorporated economic trends
which are not yet apparent in history. Therefore, issues relating
to such factors as energy availability and cost, the final recovery
from the 1975 recession, and changing trends in migration patterns
of the elderly have not been fully explored in the development of
these numbers and,in general, cannot be fully reflected at this
time.
In brief, this data package is presented in the hope of begin-
ning a common dialogue between the users and generators of projections.
This set of projections will be monitored and the findings will be
incorporated in the next set of formal 0R1ZRS projections due for
publication in 1979. The data presented in the analytic package will
assist individual users in understanding and evaluating the projections.
Further comments from these users are welcome and encouraged.
These projections are intended as a contribution to the planning
and dec is ion-making processes. They arc neither goals nor constraints
for any area's economic activity and they contain no expression of
desirability or undesirability.

RESULTS OF THE STATE REVIEW
The "first-cut" projections were provided to each State and
the District of Columbia for a critical review. Twenty-eight States
communicated their impressions; three States felt that the initial
projections (for their State) were too high, fifteen felt they were
to low, and ten felt that the projected levels were approximately
correct. It was assumed that the twenty-three States that did not
ccmment were not in serious disagreement with the first-cut results.
These projections were prepared within a preset level of total
national population. Thus, in order for the level for one State to
be increased, the level for one or more of the others must be lowered.
If all requests were honored, and the noncommenting States were held
at their "first-cut" levels, the national total would be exceeded in
each of the projected years. This excess was 1.8 million in 1980,
4.7 million in 1990, and over 7.3 million in 2000. Obviously, requests
by the individual States could not be directly honored without
seriously affecting the national consistency of the results. Hence,
post-review efforts at BEA concentrated on the redistribution of the
national aggregate among the States in such a way as to best correct
the anomalies noted, uhile at the same time staying within the national
1/
levels of population as projected by the Bureau of the Census.

The review comments can be categorized according to the percent-
age difference between the levels the local review groups felt were
appropriate and the levels projected by BFA (both before and after
the incorporation of the local input). These results are shown in
table 1. The twenty-three noncommenting States are assumed to be
within that group whose levels are within 2% of the levels projected
by BEA.

As can be seen from table 1, after the comments were incorporated
the level of agreement in the t 2% range improved by one State for ]9S0
but deteriorated by six States for 2000. There arc three factors which
dictated this shift to lower post.-review results for the long-term
levels.
First, the Bureau of the Census published updated population pro-
jections and the final national totals were reduced. The effect was
small in 1980 but appreciable by the year 2000. This had the effect
of increasing the previously noted disparities between the national
levels and the sum of the State levels. The impacts of these revisions
are shown in table 2.

Second, among the States that did not comment, it is thought that some
were motivated by the feeling that the "first-cut" projections prepared by
BEA exceeded their expectations. (Traditionally, those States feeling that
the BRA projections are too low have been somewhat, more vocal than others).
While it is probable that some of these "noncommenting" States either did
not have their own projections, or else lacked the staff required to make

-------
- 6 -
an appropriate review, the probability of a reduction in the levels
of a noneommenting State was somewhat higher than for a State which
had verbally declared its agreement.
Finally, the internal review by the BEA staff of the "first-
cut" levels revealed, in several cases, discrepancies which tended to
suggest that they were somewhat too high in the case of longer-term
projections. Adjustments for these discrepencies resulted in lower
projections for the year 2000 in a number of States.
The preceding companr-on was Based on the national projection
of population prepared by the Census Bureau, prior to an adjustment
for the estimate of the 1970 census undercount. A discussion of the
impacts of undercount adjustments is presented in the next section.
ESTIMATE OF THE CENSUS UNDERCOUNT
The Census Bureau estimates that approximately 5.3 million people
were emitted in the 1970 census. This amounts to an underenumeration
of about 2.5 percent for the Nation as a whole. In I960, this rate
was approximately 2.7 percent. The estimated national percentage rates
of underenumeration are presented,. by color and sex, in table 3.

and some Implications for Public Programs." U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D.C.. 1975.
For a number of reasons, (including the differentials by color)
these rates of underenumeration vary considerably by State. Since
the projections are to be used to determine physical requirements, it
was concluded that a projection which recognized the magnitude of the
undercount would be preferred.
Contact with the Bureau of the Census revealed that they arc in
the process of completing a study relating to the incidence of
underenumeration for each State. The results will be published in the
near future. The study's progress apparently was hampered by a lack
of specific data for testing the various alternative methods. The
Census' final report will present several psrimnte-A for each State.
The range of these estimates within any one State is not great

-------
- 8 -
(amounting,generally, to no more than 2 percent between the
highest and lowest estimates). On the other hand, the variation
among States is substantia] (from zero to over nine percent).
The Census Bureau provided BEA with preliminary results and,
after studying the draft report, it was determined that there were
no substantial reasons for selecting one alternative over another.
But since a specific estimate was required, HI LA averaged the Census'
seven alternatives and obtained the estimate used in adjusting the
post-review projections.
These rates were applied to the population projections in each
of the projected years. This implies that an underenumeration of
a given percentage in the ]970 census will result in a projection
which is low by that same percentage. hTiile this approach is not
strictly correct, it should not be a source of appreciable error.
A deviation from this assumption was made at the national level.
Rather than assuming that the percentage undercount provided the
proper adjustment to the national projection, the absolute amount
(5.3 million) of the 1970 undercount was held constant throughout
the projection period. The percentage adjustment in the States was
allocated to provide agreement with this absolute and, hence, declines
slightly over the projection period. (Nationally, the percentage
adjustment declines from 2.5 percent to about 2.0 percent by the year
2000).

-------

State population projections, after the adjustment for the
Census undercount, are presented in table 10 of this text.
Preadjustment projections are presented in table 10 of the
analytic package.
A comparison between the initial projections, following the
State reviews, and the final projections, after adjustment for
the undercount, is not strictly appropriate since the national
totals have been changed. However, with this qualification in
mind, the results in table 4 are presented in order to indicate
the considerable impacts of the undercount adjustment. Although
most States are aware of the undercount problem, it is doubtful
that it was included in the levels they requested. Thus, the
slightly "too high" nature of the post-adjustment BRA levels
should be interpreted with care and the Bureau of the Census
report should be studied when this interpretation is made.

METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCF.S
The procedure used to prepare the projections was to: (1) develop
national projections of earnings and other economic data by industry,
(2) analyze historical trends in industrial earnings at the State
level and develop preliminary projections of earnings, by industry,
for each State, (3) resolve the differences between the aggregated
State projections of earnings and the independently determined national
aggregates, (4) incorporate the results of the State review:-,, (5)
adjust these results for the Census undercount, and (6) constrain all
results to the national aggregates.
The projections of total earnings were used to project total per-
sonal income by projecting the relationship of earnings to total person-
al income for each State relative to the Nation. Similarly, total
personal income was used to project total population by projecting the
per capita income for each State relative to the Nation. The differences
between the aggregated State projections of both total personal income
and population and the independently established national totals were,
again, resolved prior to proceeding.
Projections for 19S0, 1990, and 2000 were developed sequentially
with most effort being spent in establishing a valid 1980 projection.
Intuitively, it is difficult to establish a valid 1990 or 2000 projection
level in the absence of a valid 1980 number, so this priority system seemed
appropriate.
In general these projections arc conceptually and methodologically
consistent with those published in the latest set of OBHRS projections.

The variety of data sources incorporated into these projections
is briefly summarized below.
1.	National population projections are as presented in the
Census Bureau's July 1977, Series II projections with two adjustments.
The Census results were discounted by 600,000 people (assumed to ap-
proximate the overseas population) and augmented by 5.3 million (as
an approximate adjustment for the 1970 census undercount).

4.	National controls for the economic projections were derived
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' preliminary projections of gross
(duplicated) product and employment to 1990. BliA converted BI.S
employment to earnings, extended the projections to 2000, and, in some
cases, modified them to reflect more recent data -- particularly for coal,
crude'petroleum, and natural gas mining (unpublished).
5.	Projections related to agriculture are derived from the
Department of Agriculture's production projections (Series E'), converted
to earnings.

6.	Historical annual data (through 1975) for total personal income
and earnings, by industry, were obtained from the Regional Economic
Measurement Division, Bureau of Economic Analysis, as were earnings data
for the 16 quarters ending with the first quarter of 1977.

Economic Analysis Division's Projections Monitoring System was used in
this project.

ANNUAL PROJECTION'S: 1976 - 1980
The Environmental Protection Agency, in requesting these projections,
felt that annual projections through 1980 would be of help in their work.
BEA does not generally prepare such projections because the analytic proce-
dures for projecting the regional business cycle arc not available. However,
a "normalized" annual series for the period 1976-1980 was prepared as part of
this project. These numbers represent "best guess" estimates of the approxi-
mate levels which would prevail in the absence of business cycle effects.
They should not in any way be taken to imply that the States will immediately
recover from the 1975 recession; nor do they describe the path of the
eventual recovery.
These comments are included because comparisons of recent history to the
levels projected for 1980 frequently imply a dramatic growth rate not apparent
in the growth rates projected for the post-1980 period. Apparently, this is
considered to be a deficiency in the projection system by many users. Just as
growth trends from 1973 to 1975 (at a time when the nation suffered an economic
slowdown) are not appropriate for projections;trends from 1975 to 1980 (when
the Nation, according to our assumptions, will experience a recovery) are not
indicative of prevailing secular growth trends.
Also, in comparing historical population trends with these projected
levels, it is important to recall that the projections have been adjusted for
underenumeration, while the historic numbers have not. The Census report on
rates of underenumeration, by State, will provide the information needed to
determine the amount of change between 1970 and 19S0 associated with actual
growth versus that associated with the adjustment of underenumeration.

-------
- 15 -
NATIONAL ASSUMPTIONS AND CONTROLS
Five tables relating to the notional controls used for these
projections and the national controls used in the latest OBERS
projections are presented on the following pages. As indicated in
the data sources section, national projections of economic activity
prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics provided the basis for the
final national controls used in this project. BEA extended these
projections to the year 2000, after converting gross (duplicated) pro-
duct to the BEA earnings concept. Comparisons of the basic assumptions
regarding the national economy in the latest OBERS projections and
those related to these revisions are presented in table 5. The impact
of these changes on the overall projected level of national economic
activity was relatively minor as can be seen by comparing the results in
tables 6 and 7.
Changes in the industrial aggregates at the national level probably
have a somewhat greater impact on the projections for the States. The
changes-- on an industry-by-industry basis--between the latest OBERS pro-
jections and these revisions can be seen by examining the results in tables
8 and 9. The effects of these changes on State projections vary with the
relative importance of the industry in the State and, of course, with the
overall magnitude of the change. While both the changed national

-------
- 16 -
assumptions and the changed national industrial mix exerted some
influence on the changes in State-level projections, the most
significant changes resulted from the incorporation of data on
the subnational trends which have emerged since the last projections
were prepared. At the time when the latest OBF.RS projections were
prepared, the last year for which data were available was 1971.
Since then data through the first quarter of 1977 have become
available and have been incorporated into the revisions.

ANALYTIC TABLES A\I) CHARTS, BY STATE
Tabic 10 contains the final projected population levels for
each State. Additionally, detailed economic information has been
provided to EPA. For each State and the Nation, this information
consists of 13 tables, with historical economic data for 1960-75
and projected economic data for 1970 to 20(10. These tables arc
discussed in detail below. Also included arc tables with population
and total personal income data for the Nation, the SO States, and the
District of Columbia.
The economic data are as described below for each State:
Tables 1-2. Earnings, by industry (absolute data), in
1967 dollars.
Table 3. Earnings, by industry, as a percent of
total earnings.
Table 4. Shares of the Nation for each industry.
Table, 5. Location quotients computed on earnings.
The location quotient for an industry within
a State is the ratio of the industry's share
of the State's total earnings and the saine
industry's share of U.S. total earnings.
Table 6. Indices of regional specialization. These
indices are measured as the difference be-
tween the share the industry comprises of
the State all-industry total and the equivalent
share for the Nation. The "overall index" is
the simple sum of the pos it ivc indices of
regional specialization (which is equivalent to
the sum of the absolute values of the ncuativc
indices).
Table 7. Percent distribution of export status. These are
computed as the ratio of tlie indices of special-
ization to the overall index.

-------
22 -
Tables 8-9. Export status by industry earnings. This provides
a crude measure of the gross amount of export
activity for each industry. It is the product of
the index ot specialization and total earnings in
each industry.
Tables 10-11. Annual summary data on population; total personal
income, by place of residence; earnings, by place
of work; per capita income, relative to the U.S.;
the ratio of earnings to total personal income,
relative to the U.S.; percent share of the U.S.;
and location quotients.
Two additional tables present information parallel to that found in
tables 10 and 11 on a quarterly basis, through the first quarter of
1977. Since these tables are presented for the historical base and the
projected base, there are 21 tables in all of selected analytic infor-
mation presented.
The analytic package also contains a computer graph of the historical
and projected trend for each industry in each State. These plots should
assist the user in visually reviewing the results. For basic industries,
both absolute earnings and a share of the Nation are plotted. For service
industries, absolute earnings and a location quotient are plotted.
In all cases, the scale of the vertical axis is determined by the
magnitudes of the data being plotted. Hence, it is difficult to compare
one graph Kith another as the scales probably differ in magnitude and
sensitivity.
The list of industries for which these projections were prepared is
presented in table 11.

CONCLUDING COMMENT
Four sets of State-level projections have been referenced
in this report; they are: (1) the "OBliRS" projections published
in 1974, (2) the "first-cut" revisions prepared by BfA, (3) the
"post-review" projections incorporating local comments and de-
tailed review by the BEA staff, and (4) the "final" projections
after adjustment for undcrcnumeration in the 1970 Census. Only
the final results arc presented here.
The results prior to the adjustment for undcrcnumeration
are presented in table 10 of the analytic package. The "first -
cut" results are not available for general distribution. The
"OBERS" results, published in 1974, may be obtained from the
Superintendent of Documents, as indicated on page 12.
