For the 12-mbnth period ended in April, the CPI-U increased 3.9 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also rose 0.5 percent in April prior to seasonal adjustment. The April 1988 CPI-Wlevel of 115.7 was 3.7 percent higher than the index in April 1987. The April 1988 indexes for the CPI-U and CPl-w on a 1967 = 100 reference base were 350.8 and 344.7, respectively. food prices—up 0.8 percent in April—registered their largest advance since August 1986, principally on the strength of increases in the indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs and fruits and vegetables. Beef prices rose 2.3 percent in April, their third consecutive monthly advance. Pork prices rose 1.1 percent following a 1.6-percent increase in March. Poultry and fish prices also increased substantially in April— up 1.0 and 2.9 percent, respectively. Prices for fruits and vegetables, on average, rose 1.4 percent, reflecting large increases in both fresh and processed varieties. Among other grocery store foods, the index for cereal and bakery products increased 0.8 percent in April and has risen at a 7.9-percent annual rate during the first 4 months of 1988. Prices for dairy products, on the other hand, declined 0.1 percent in April. The other tw6 components of the food and beverage indexrestaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—rose 0.4 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively, the same as in March. The transportation component, which increased 0.1 percent in March, rose 0.3 percent in April. Over two-thirds of the April rise resulted from a 1.1-percent increase in the index for motor fuels. Partially offsetting the increase in gasoline prices was a decline in the costs associated with the purchase of new and used cars. New car prices were unchanged in April, but automobile finance charges declined 1.1 percent. Used car prices declined 0.5 percent. The index for public transportation, reflecting an increase in airline fares, increased 0.8 percent. The housing index rose 0.3 percent in April, the same as in each of the preceding 2 months. The 0.1-percent increase in shelter costs followed a 0.5-percent rise in March and was the smallest advance since March 1983. Within shelter, CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPi-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPi-u rose 0.4 percent in April following a 0.5-percent increase in March. These advances compare with an average monthly increase of 0.3 percent in the preceding 10 months. In April, the index for apparel and upkeep rose sharply for the second consecutive month, accounting for over one-quarter of the monthly increase in the CPI-U in both March and April. Food and beverage prices accelerated in April and accounted for nearly onefourth of the monthly increase in the overall index. The energy component, largely reflecting an increase in gasoline prices, turned up in April, registering its first advance since November. For the first 4 months of 1988, the CPI-U rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.5 percent, about the same as the 4.4-percent rise in the 12 months ended in December 1987. The food and beverage index rose 0.6 percent in April following a 0.4-percent increase in March. Grocery store Table A.

The decline in renters' costs resulted from a 2.0-percent drop in charges for lodging while out of town. Residential rents rose 0.1 percent. The index for fuel and utilities turned up in April. Household fuels rose 0.4 percent as increases in fuel oil prices and charges for electricity—up 1.0 and 0.8 percent, respectively—more than offset a 0.4-percent decline in charges for natural gas. Among other utilities and public services, the index for telephone services rose 0.3 percent and charges for cable TV increased 1.4 percent. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.6 percent, with the increase in postage rates accounting for most of that advance. The Aprilr increase of 2.0 percent in the apparel and upkeep component matches the March increase as the largest monthly advance on record (since 1947). The continued introduction of substantially higher priced spring and summer merchandise, particularly women's clothing, was again responsible for the increase. .3 .3 .4 .1 -.1 .8 .4 1.3 February .2 -.4 -.2 .5 .2 .8 March .3 1.9 0 .4 .5 .5 April .4 CO CO .3 0 .3 .5 .4 .4 .3 .3 January CO CO ... .4 .3 .3 1.2 .5 .5 .6 .5 December CO CNJ All items Food and beveraaes Housing ADDsrel and uDkeeo Transportation Medical care Entertainment Other goods and services November i CO '->• October 1.8 .3 .5'* .6 .3 Compound annual rate 3 months ended April '88 3.9 3.5 3.9 13.9 .4 6.1 5.2 6.8 12 months ended April '88 3.7 3.3 3.4 4.4 2.9 6.4 4.3 6.6 The medical care component rose 0.6 percent in April to a level 6.4 percent above a year ago.

Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. 50 Table 12.

Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. 76 Table 19.

Technical Notes Brief Explanation of the CPI 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. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes CPl's for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which covers 32 percent of the total population. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the selfemployed, 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 pountry from about 60,000 housing units and approximately 21,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets, 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. Some data, such as used car prices, are obtained from secondary sources. 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 calculations of regions and population-size classes, and for 27 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities, they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period. The indexes measure price change from a designated reference date, 1982-84, which equals 100.0. An increase of 7 percent, for example, is shown as 107.0. 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 $100 in 1982-84 to $107.00. For further details, see BLS Handbook of Methods, BLS Bulletin 2285, April 1988, and The Consumer Price Index: 1987 Revision, BLS Report 736, January 1987. 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. Index Point Change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change 112.5 .108.5 4.0 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change 106 4.0 108.5 0.037 0.037 x 100 3.7 Energy Prices Prices are usually available for the U.S. city average, 28 large urban areas, and 16 areas reflecting the four Census regions cross-classified by four population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for example, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the Sputh and West. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA will appear, NA will also appear if the data sufficiency criteria have not been met in any given month. For example, if there are fewer than five usable fuel oil prices for a published city or region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be published. All prices are collected monthly by BLS represenatives in the urban areas priced for the CPI. Prices for natural gas and electricity include fuel and purchased gas adjustments and all applicable taxes. Fuel oil and gasoline prices include applicable Federal, State, and local taxes. Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported in therms, which are a measure of heating value. Electricity prices are given in kilowatt hours (kwh). For both utility services, the consumption ranges specified in table P-2 are the upper and lower limits of the bill sizes priced for the Consumer Price Index. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are calculated from bills priced within these ranges. It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI are not only for different consumption amounts, but may also be calculated from different types of residential rate schedules. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally suitable for use in place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas and for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table P-l) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Since heating and air-conditioning requirements vary by geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it cannot be inferred that these consumption amounts represent those used by a typical residential consumer. These bills are used merely to track price changes over time for constant amounts of consumption, to provide data for place-to-place price comparisons, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index. Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than one gallon. These prices are converted to a per gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity and/or quick payment. Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, mini-service, and selfserve gas stations. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: 1 therm = 100,000 BTirs (U.S. Department of Energy). 1 kwh = 3,412 BTU'S (Edison Electric Institute) 1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTU'S (U.S. Department of Energy). Food Prices In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are calculated each month at the national level and for the four Census geographic regions. As a result of changes in price collection methodology and sample sizes, average prices for individual cities cannot in general be produced. It is hoped, however, that regional average prices will help satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted, however, that the average food prices in this report reflect variations in brand, quality, and size among geographic areas. Users of average food prices should be aware that these differences exist. Because a number of food commodities are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will not appear in some months for some regions or for the U.S. city average. In other instances, sufficient prices may not be available due to temporary disruptions in supplies. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA will appear. When a price is not available from an individual store in any month, an estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. In cases where the proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price will not be published and NA will appear for that item in the table. Because of space limitations in the table, the description for each item is abbreviated. More detailed specifications are available from BLS Regional Offices or from the Washington Office upon request. Reference Base Change Beginning with the release of data for January 1988 in February 1988, most Consumer Price Indexes have shifted to a new reference base year. All indexes previously expressed on a base of 1967=100, or any other base through December 1981, have been rebased to 1982-84=100. Only indexes with a base later than December 1981 have maintained their bases. This base change was reviewed by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, Office of Management and Budget, and is in keeping with the Government's longstand107 ing policy to update index bases periodically. Selection of the 1982-84 period was made to coincide with the updated expenditure weights, which are based upon data tabulated from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys for 1982, 1983, and 1984. The last previous rebasing of CPI data occurred in February 1971, when the 1967 base was substituted for the former 1957-59 base. Historical data for each CPI series on the new base are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). For the convenience of users, the BLS will continue to publish allitems indexes for the U.S. city average, and for the individual local areas for which CPl's are published, on their former official reference base (1967 = 100 in most cases). Conversion factors and an accompanying fact sheet on rebasing are available fron BLS. Dividing by one of these factors will rebase the related index series from its current 1982-84 base to its previous reference base, (tfsers should note: Because of rounding effects, there may be occasional minor differences between the final rebased index and the result obtained using the conversion factor^ justment method was specificially designed to correct for quality changes associated with this deterioration. The BLS used hedonic regression methods to estimate the aging effect. The estimates were then used to correct the CPI rent and rental equivalence indexes. Hedonic regressions are statistical functions that relate the price of a good to its attributes or characteristics. For example, a hedonic regression relates a housing unit's rent to its size, age, location, etc. By using BLS housing survey data from 1987 and Census data from 1980, hedonic regression methods provided estimates of the relationship between a housing unit's rent and age while other housing unit characteristics were held constant. The estimated relationship was then used to construct the aging adjustment. Estimates will be recomputed annually by using the previous year's BLS housing survey data and the most recently available Census data. Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging Effects Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month. 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 y e a r 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 are also 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-l 1 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 1983 through 1987 were replaced at the end of 1987. The seasonal movement of all items and 43 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 50 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 50 components change their status from not seasonally adjusted to seasonally adjusted, seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before the period. Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Begining with the January 1988 CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjusted the monthly CPI shelter indexes for the change in quality resulting from the effect of aging on rental housing. In January 1987, the Bureau announced its intention to begin making such adjustments, assuming that further research substantiated the need to do so. The decision to implement the adjustment was based on extensive BLS research, in which alternative adjustment methods were explored and tested. Evaluation of the research indicates that an aging effect exists, and that the chosen method is operationally feasible.1 The adjustment affects CPI shelter indexes, which would have been raised by 0.2 percent for the year 1987 had an aging adjustment been applied. The quality of a housing unit decreases as the unit ages. Existing BLS methods are used to correct for relatively easily measured quality changes such as the addition of an extra bedroom, but such methods are inadequate to correct for deterioration in the condition of housing units.2 The aging ad- 1 A complete technical presentation of BLS research on this subject is available in William C.
