Collected by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is the primary measure of consumer spending on goods and services in the United States economy. It accounts for about two-thirds of domestic final spending, and thus it is the primary engine that drives future economic growth. PCE shows how much of the income earned by households is being spent on current consumption as opposed to how much is being saved for future consumption. PCE also provides a comprehensive measure of types of goods and services that are purchased by households. Thus, for example, it shows the portion of spending that is accounted for by discretionary items, such as motor vehicles, or the adjustments that consumers make to changes in prices, such as a sharp run-up in gasoline prices. Further, Personal Consumption Expenditures by Function contain classifications that identify the purposes of objectives for which expenditures are made. In the U.S. National Income and Product Accounts (NIPAs), functional breakdowns of expenditures are provided for PCE by Function. NIPAs are a set of accounts that provides a logical and consistent framework for presenting statistics on U.S. economic activity.

In addition, the PCE by Function features several spending categories of arts-related goods and services, including the following items: Membership clubs, sports centers, parks, theaters, and museums Amusements parks, campgrounds, and related recreational services Admissions to specified spectator amusements, such as motion picture theaters, live entertainment, and spectator sports Museums and libraries Sports and recreational goods and related services Sports and recreational vehicles Magazines, newspapers, books, and stationery Photographic goods and services The PCE estimates are available monthly, so they can provide an early indication of the course of economic activity in the current quarter.
