Corrections and Updates

On April 12, 2019, CBO reposted the file for the report with corrections to Table 2, along with the file of potential GDP and underlying inputs with the same corrections. The changes correct errors in the calculations of the contributions of labor and capital to growth in nonfarm business output, as well as errors in other calculations that result from those.
