During the past 2 months, gasoline prices rose 6.8 percent, but were, nevertheless, 11.7 percent below their peak level of March 1981. The index for automobile insurance rose 1.0 percent in April and was 9.3 percent above its level a year ago. On the other hand, automobile prices, which increased substantially in the first quarter, turned down in April. New car prices were unchanged and used car prices declined 0.3 percent. Automobile finance charges—down 0.6 percent—declined for the fifth consecutive month. The index for public transportation rose 0.2 percent as a 0.4-percent rise in airline fares was partially offset by a decline in intercity bus fares. Grocery store food prices—down 0.4 percent in April—declined for the second consecutive month. Declines in the indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs; fruits and vegetables; and dairy products were only partially offset by small increases in the other grocery store food groups. Beef prices continued to decline—down 1.6 percent in April—and were 3.4 percent below their level at the end of 1984. Pork, poultry, and egg prices also declined in April. The index for fresh fruits and vegetables declined for the second consecutive month. Despite the recent declines, the index for fresh fruits and vegetables has increased 2.8 percent since December, due to harsh weather last winter. The other two components of the food and beverage in- The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPi-U) increased 0.4 percent before seasonal adjustment in April to a level of 320.1 (1967 = 100). For the 12-month period ended in April, the CPI-U increased 3.7 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.4 percent in April, prior to seasonal adjustment. The April 1985 CPI-W level of 316.7 was 4.1-percent higher than the index in April 1984. The CPI-W is used for indexing Social Security and some other Federal payments. It is also commonly used as an escalator in collective bargaining agreements. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban Consumers advanced 0.4 percent in April, following a 0.5-percent increase in March. Somewhat more than half of the April advance was due to increases in petroleum-based energy costs, as both gasoline and fuel oil prices rose sharply. Food prices, however, declined in April, after registering no change in March. Excluding energy and food, the CPI rose 0.3 percent in April. For the first 4 months of 1985, the CPI-U rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.2 percent, about the same as the average rate experienced since the fall of 1981. The transportation component advanced 0.8 percent in April, following a 1.3-percent increase in March. A Table A.

The housing component rose 0.4 percent in April, following a 0.3-percent rise in March. The indexes for shelter and fuel and utilities—up 0.4 and 0.6 percent, respectively—both registered slightly larger increases than in March. Within the shelter component, renters' and homeowners' costs both increased 0.5 percent, while maintenance and repair costs declined 0.5 percent. Fuel oil prices advanced 3.3 percent in April, following a 0.6-percent rise in March. Despite the recent increases, fuel oil prices were still lower than at the end of 1984 and 13.3 percent below their peak level of April 1981. The index for electricity increased 0.7 percent while charges for natural gas declined 0.5 percent. Telephone service charges declined slightly in April. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.1 percent, the same as in March. The medical care component rose 0.6 percent in April, following a 0.8-percent increase in March. The indexes for both medical care commodities—prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs, and medical supplies—and medical care services increased 0.6 percent. Within medical care services, professional services and hospital rooms advanced 0.4 and 0.6 percent, respectively. The index for apparel and upkeep was virtually unchanged in April following increases of 0.9 and 0.5 percent in February and March, respectively. Clothing prices were unchanged as a 0.7-percent increase in men's and boys' clothing was offset by declines in the index for women's and girls' clothing, infants' and toddlers' wear, footwear, and other apparel commodities. The index for apparel services increased 0.2 percent. The entertainment and other goods and services components rose 0.3 and 0.4 percent, respectively, in April. CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.4 percent in Unadjusted April, the same increase as in the CPI-U. (The rental equivalence approach to homeownership has been used in the CPI-W since January 1985. The methodology and samples of areas, items, outlets, and prices are identical in both the CPI-W and the CPI-U, and differences in monthly changes result only from different expenditure patterns and seasonal adjustment factors.) Changes in frequency of publication for local area CPI's to begin in 1987 The Bureau of Labor Statistics will improve the sample of urban areas in which it gathers prices for monthly preparation of the Consumer Price Index beginning in 1987. At the same time, the Bureau will publish a number of local area CPI'S less frequently. The changes in publication frequency arise from the requirement to allocate the sample to reflect population shifts in the 1980 Census so as to provide the most accurate national CPI possible with the funds available. As a result, some local areas will no longer have samples sufficient to permit more frequent publication. In addition to the national index for all cities, the Bureau now publishes indexes for 28 urban areas. In 1987, it will continue to publish indexes for all but one of these areas—Northeast Pennsylvania (ScrantonWilkes-Barre). Of the remaining 27 published urban areas, 13 will have a reduction in frequency beginning in 1987. The index for Detroit, currently published monthly, will be published only in the even numbered months. Twelve areas now published bimonthly will be compiled on a semiannual average basis. These areas are: BuffaloNiagara Falls, NY; Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN; Kansas City, MO-Kansas City, KS; Milwaukee, WI; Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN-WI; Atlanta, GA; Anchorage, AK; Denver-Boulder, CO; Honolulu, HI; Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA; San Diego, CA; and Seattle-Tacoma, WA. These semi-annual average indexes, which refer to the arithmetic averages of the 6 month periods from January through June and July through December, will be published with release of the CPI for July and January, respectively, i.e., in the month of August and February. These series will be compiled and published on their present reference bases, 1967=100 for all areas other than Anchorage, which is on an October 1967 reference base. Also, the Cleveland-Akron-Lorain, OH, indexes will be published in odd-numbered rather then even-numbered months. Further details are available from BLS. Homeownership changes As announced in October 1981, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has changed the treatment of homeownership costs in the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPi-W) effective with release of data for January 1985. See the last page of the Technical Notes for additional detail. Relative importance tables Data are now available from the Bureau's annual publication, Relative Importance of Components in the Consumer Price Indexes, 1984, Bulletin 2233. The relative importance (value weights) data in the bulletin can be used in conjunction with the CPI Detailed Report.

Scheduled Release Dates Consumer Price Index data are scheduled for initial release on the following dates: Index month Release date Index month Release date May June 20 August September 24 June July 23 September October 23 July August 22 October November 22 Reconciling Two Measures of Consumer Price Change: First Quarter 1985 This article continues the analysis presented in the October 1984 CPI Detailed Report of differences between two major price measures—The Consumer Price Index (CPi-U) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the Department of Commerce. More information on the technique of reconciliation appears in the September 1981 Monthly Labor Review.1 Cumulative differences The reconciliation begins with a comparison of cumulative percent changes in the indexes from the 1972 reference base (1972= 100) through the first quarter of 1 Jack E. Triplett, "Reconciling the CPI and PCE Deflator," Monthly Labor Review, September 1981, pp. 3-15. Subsequent reconciliations appeared in the January, May, July, and October 1982 Review, and in the February 1983 Review. 2 "Reconciling Two Measures of Consumer Price Change: Second Quarter 1984," CPI Detailed Report, July 1984, pp. 4-6, for explanation of the residual housing effect. A subsequent reconciliation appeared in the October 1984 Report. 3 Ibid., July 1984, p. 5. 1985 (see table C). During this period, the CPI-U increased 153.6 percent to a level of 253.6 while the PCE rose 124.6 percent to a level of 224.6. After increasing 0.9 percentage point in the fourth quarter of 1984, the total cumulative difference between the two measures grew only 0.2 percentage point to a level of 29.0 percent during the first quarter of 1985. Removing the constant residual housing effect (14.1 percent for quarterly data), the remaining cumulative difference of 14.9 percent is attributable to the effects of weighting and *'other" differences.2 The impact of weighting differences showed no change from fourth quarter 1984 to first quarter 1985, remaining at a level of 11.7 percentage points. This halt in the quarterly expansion of weighting differences directly follows a 1-point jump which had occurred in the fourth quarter. The ''other" effects, which had narrowed slightly in the fourth quarter, expanded in the first quarter of 1985 and now account for a cumulative difference of 3.2 percentage points. The 1984 annual average indexes for the two price measures show a total cumulative difference of 27.9 percent as of 1984. The average difference due to weighting Table C.

"Other" effects account for the remaining 1.9 percentage points after 15.3 points have been removed to adjust for the constant residual housing effect. higher than the comparable PCE rate using fixed 1972 weights. The first-quarter rates for the CPI-U and the fixed-weight PCE, which determine the "other" effects, showed a 1.4-percent difference after no difference in the fourth quarter of 1984. Differences in methods used for calculating health and automobile insurance costs contributed substantially to this sudden rise in "other" effects. On an annual average basis, the CPI-U increased 4.3 percent in 1984. This increase was 0.4 percent higher than the 3.9-percent rise in the chain-weighted PCE. The fixed-weight PCE also advanced 3.9 percent, indicating no measurable impact of the annual weighting factor in 1984. "Other" effects increased 0.4 percent and accounted for all of the overall difference between the CPI and PCE in 1984. Period-to-period differences Analysis of differences in the annual and quarterly rates of change in the CPI and PCE (see table D) makes use of the chain-weight PCE in place of the currentweight PCE.3 This PCE index increased 4.7 percent during the first quarter, 1.5 percent more than the 3.2-percent increase in the CPi-u. During the fourth quarter of 1984, both measures had shown increases of 3.6 percent. Chain-weighting the PCE resulted in a first quarter annualized rate which was 0.1 percentage point Chart 1.

L.A.-Long Beach, Anaheim, Calif, is a combination of two SMSA's, and N.Y., N.Y.-Northeastern N.J. and Chicago, III.Northwestern Ind. are the more extensive Standard Consolidated Areas. Area definitions are those established by the Office of Management and Budget in 1973, except for Denver-Boulder, Colo, which does not include Douglas County. Definitions do not include revisions made since 1973. 3 Regions are defined as the four Census regions. The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have urban population as defined: 51 - 166.7 175.9 172.4 174.6 173.5 171.7 173.7 174.4 177.8 168.6 172.2 166.9 174.2 169.1 171.6 170.8 3.7 3.5 3.7 4.4 4.3 2.9 3.3 4.6 4.0 3.2 3.2 4.9 4.8 2.8 2.1 2.6 0.7 .9 .8 .6 1.2 1.2 .4 1.4 1.1 1.1 .6 1.6 2.3 .5 .9 .5 _ i I _ - _ - A-1 More than 4,000,000.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses. Table 14.

L.A.-Long Beach, Anaheim, Calif, is a combination of two SMSA's, and N.Y., N.Y.-Northeastern N.J. and Chicago, III.Northwestern Ind. are the more extensive Standard Consolidated Areas. Area definitions are those established by the Office of Management and Budget in 1973, except for Denver-Boulder, Colo, which does not include Douglas County. Definitions do not include revisions made since 1973. 3 Regions are defined as the four Census regions. The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have urban population as defined: - 163.5 171.1 172.6 170.9 170.5 168.4 170.7 175.1 182.5 165.7 173.9 165.9 174.2 171.4 173.7 172.4 4.5 2.8 3.7 4.1 4.2 3.5 3.8 5.2 7.5 3.2 5.3 5.7 5.6 2.9 4.4 5.4 0.7 .9 .8 .8 1.1 1.2 .5 1.4 1.1 1.2 .6 1.7 2.1 .5 1.0 .5 _ - _ A-1 More than 4,000,000.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses. 64 Table 18.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses. 118 Table 19(0S).

The index measures price changes from a designated reference date—1967—which equals 100.0. An increase of 122 percent, for example, is shown as 222.0. This change can also be expressed in dollars as follows: The price of a base period*'market basket" of goods and services in the CPI has risen from $10 in 1967 to $22.20. For further details see the following: The Consumer Price Index: Concepts and Content Over the Years, Report 517, revised edition (Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 1978); "The Revision of the Consumer Price Index," by W. John Layng, reprinted from the Statistical Reporter, February 1978, No. 78-5 (U.S. Dept. of Commerce), "Revisions in the Medical Care Service Component of the Consumer Price Index," by Daniel H. Ginsburg, Monthly Labor Review, August 1978; and CPI Issues, Report 593, (Bureau of Labor Statistics, February 1980). The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. Effective with the January 1978 index, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began publishing CPi's for two population groups: (1) a new CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total noninstitutional civilian population; and (2) a revised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which represents about half the population covered by the CPIu. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups which historically have been excluded from CPI coverage, such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the self-employed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees and others not in the labor force. The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors' and dentists' services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from about 18,000 tenants, 18,000 housing units for property taxes, and about 24,000 establishments—grocery and department stores, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of food, fuels, and a few other items are obtained every month in all 85 locations. Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the five largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal visits of the Bureau's trained representatives. Mail questionnaires are used to obtain public utility rates, some fuel prices, and certain other items. In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 28 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities, they only measure the Calculating Index Changes Movements of the indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points, because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a 12-month period.

For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year—such as price movements resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data also are used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation. Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-11-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent annual updates have replaced 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data from 1980 through 1984 were replaced at the end of 1984. The seasonal movement of all items and 44 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 51 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 51 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adlast 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period. If any of the 51 components change their status from not seasonally adjusted to seasonally adjusted, seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years, but not seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period. Effective with data for January 1985, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) has been changed to incorporate a rental equivalence measure of homeownership costs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced plans to change the treatment of homeownership costs on October 27, 1981. Effective with release of the index for January 1983, the BLS had made the same changes in the way in which homeownership costs were measured in the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The rental equivalence approach calculates shelter cost of homeownership based on the implicit rent owners would have to pay to rent the homes they own. The old method calculated homeownership costs as home purchase, mortgage interest costs, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repair. As with the CPI-U, the new homeownership component has been introduced into the CPI-W in such a manner that the indexes using the old and new methods were equal in the socalled link month—December 1984 for the CPI-W. BLS will continue to calculate and make available the CPI-W using the old homeownership approach for the 6-month period from January to June 1985.
