For the 12-month period ended in August, the CPI-U increased 3.1 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also rose 0.3 percent in August prior to seasonal adjustment. The August 1992 CPI-W level of 138.8 was 3.1 percent higher than the index in August 1991. rate, the energy index at a 1.9-percent rate, and the CPI-U excluding food and energy, at a 3.4-percent rate. The food and beverage index rose 0.7 percent in August. Grocery store food prices, which declined 0.6 percent in the first 7 months of 1992, increased 1.3 percent in August. The indexes for fresh fruits and vegetables and for meats, which were responsible for the earlier decrease, were largely accountable for the acceleration in August. The index for fresh fruits and vegetables, which declined 9.7 percent during the first 7 months of the year, advanced 8.6 percent in August. Meat prices rose 0.5 percent in August, following a 1.4-percent drop during the December to July period. Poultry prices rose 1.2 percent in August, their third consecutive monthly increase of more than 1 percent after declining 0.8 percent in the first 5 months of 1992. Each of the other three major grocery store food groups— cereal and bakery products, dairy products, and other food at home—advanced at least as much in August as in July. The 0.7-percent rise in prices for dairy products was its largest increase since last December. The index for food away from home rose 0.1 percent in August, while prices for alcoholic beverages fell 0.1 percent. The housing index rose 0.1 percent in August, the same as in July. Shelter costs, which were unchanged in July, rose 0.2 percent in August. Within shelter, renters’ costs and homeowners’ costs advanced 0.2 and 0.1 percent, respectively, while maintenance and repair costs declined CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.3 per cent in August, following a 0.1-percent increase in July. A sharp upturn in food prices was responsible for the larger advance. The food index, after declining slightly during the first 7 months of 1992, rose 0.9 percent in August, its largest monthly increase since February 1990. The energy index turned down in August, declining 0.2 percent. Gaso line prices fell 1.2 percent, more than offsetting a 0.7-percent increase in the index for household fuels. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent, the same as in each of the 3 preceding months. During the first 8 months of 1992, the CPI-U advanced at a 2.9-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). This compares with a 3.1-percent increase in 1991. Thus far in 1992, food prices have risen at a 1.2-percent annual Table A.

The index for apparel and upkeep, which declined 0.2 percent in both June and July, was unchanged in August after seasonal adjustment. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, the index increased 0.8 percent.) The index for men’s apparel declined 1.0 percent in August offsetting increases in the indexes for boys’, women’s, and girls’ clothing. The medical care component rose 0.4 percent in August to a level 7.0 percent above a year ago. The index for medi cal care commodities rose 0.3 percent in August. The index for medical care services advanced 0.5 percent. Within medical care services, the cost of professional ser vices rose 0.5 percent and the cost of hospital services increased 0.4 percent. Entertainment costs rose 0.1 percent in August. A 1.1-percent advance in the index for admissions to movies, theaters, concerts, and sporting events more than offset price declines for reading materials and sporting goods and equipment. The index for other goods and services, which rose 0.4 percent in July, increased 0.7 percent in August. Advances in educational expenses—tuition and other school fees and school books and supplies—accounted for most of the August increase in this major group. The index for tobacco and smoking products increased 0.8 percent in August. 0.5 percent. The index for fuel and other utilities increased 0.5 percent. Household fuel prices, which generally fall in August, declined less than usual, increasing 0.7 percent after seasonal adjustment. Among the household fuels, the index for fuel oil rose 0.2 percent and the indexes for gas and electricity increased 0.9 and 0.6 percent, respectively. The index for other utilities and public services rose 0.1 percent as a small decline in charges for telephone services was more than offset by increases in the indexes for water and sewerage maintenance and refuse collection. The index for household furnishings and operations fell 0.1 percent in August, reflecting declines in prices for furni ture and bedding. The transportation component registered its first decrease since February, declining 0.1 percent in August after advancing 0.5 percent in July. Declines in the indexes for motor fuel and public transportation accounted for the downturn. Gasoline prices fell 1.2 percent in August, their first decline since February. As of August, gasoline prices were 14.6 percent below their peak level of November 1990. The index for public transportation costs fell 1.1 per cent in August, following a 2.1-percent increase in July. Declines in fares for airlines and other intercity transpor tation carriers more than offset a small increase in fares for intracity public transportation. In the last 4 months, air line fares have declined 8.0 percent. The indexes for new vehicles and used cars, however, increased in August 0.4 and 1.1 percent, respectively. Since March, used car prices have risen 7.3 percent. Automobile finance charges, how ever, continued to fall, down 1.9 percent in August and 12 months ended August 1992 March February All items .......................................

Compound annual rate 3 months ended August 1992 CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.4 percent in August. 2 Improvements in CPI Procedures The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) continually evalu ates the Consumer Price Index (CPI) program to identify needed improvements. Effective with the calculation of the CPI for November 1992, BLS will improve the meth odology used to impute consumer price change. Imputation is the process used to estimate price move ments when specific prices are either missing or not direct ly comparable to previous prices collected. The CPI attempts to measure as closely as possible the average change in prices paid by consumers for a fixed market basket of goods and services. Developing a price index for an item where versions of that good or service change or are replaced over time by new versions presents conceptual problems. For example, when a new modelyear car or truck replaces the previous model year in the CPI, usually the new version is either of comparable quali ty to the old model, or the quality differences between the two models can be factored out. In either case, only the pure, or constant-quality price change associated with the model changeover is used in index calculations. If the new model is significantly different in quality from the old ver sion, however, and the quality differences between the two models cannot be factored out (in this case the two ver sions are considered to be noncomparable), it is not possi ble to isolate the pure price change between the two differ ent model years. Instead, an estimate of constant-quality price change is made by imputation. and replaced by the new imputation procedure described later in this article.) The second type of imputation of price change in the CPI occurs if the discontinued version is last reported at a “regular” price. In this instance, the price change between the old version and the noncomparable, new version is imputed from the average price change for all similar items used in CPI calculations that month in the same geo graphic area. In short, the type of imputation currently used in the CPI is dependent upon whether or not the discontinued version was “on sale”. In the new imputation strategy described below, the type of imputation used for a given item will depend upon whether or not price change for that item is closely associated with the introduction of new lines or models. New imputation procedures. For most nonfood commodities (e.g., apparel, new vehicles, household furnishings), price change is closely associated with the annual or periodic introduction of new lines, models, or versions. BLS research has established that imputation by all similar items creates a potential bias for items where such a relationship exists between price change and the introduction of new versions. For example, our research indicates that the average price change for all apparel items in a month (newly-introduced apparel lines as well as continuing apparel lines) is not the best approxi mation of the price change for noncomparable, new apparel items. Rather, imputation by the average price change for comparable new apparel lines is a much better approximation of price change for noncomparable new ap parel lines. That is, price changes within the same version should not be used to impute price changes between differ ent versions. Therefore, beginning in November 1992, for most non food commodities, only price changes that occur between versions of comparable or constant quality will be used to impute price changes for new noncomparable versions. (This alternative imputation procedure—imputing prices using only constant-quality price changes of new lines or models—has been in place for new cars and trucks since October 1989). For most food and service items, where price change is not closely related to the introduction of new versions, price change between an old version and a noncompar able, new version will be imputed from the average price Current imputation procedures. Prior to the change in November 1992, price change between the old version and the noncomparable, new ver sion has been typically imputed in one of two ways. The first type of imputation in the CPI involves the treatment of “sale” prices (versus “regular” prices). In the CPI, a “sale” price was considered to be a temporary reduction in the regular or market price of an item. If a new, noncom parable item in the CPI was initially on sale, that price information was not used in CPI calculations until a month when the new item was reported at a “regular” price. Similarly, if an item priced in the CPI was discontin ued, and the last collected price was designated a “sale” price, that sale price was not used in CPI calculations. Instead, the last previously-reported “regular” price of that discontinued item was used in index calculations as the imputed current-period final (overlap) price for the discontinued version. (This type of imputation and treat ment of sale prices will be phased out over the next year 3 Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Room 3615 PSB, Washington, DC 20212-0001, or call Kenneth J.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. 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, thé Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. Table 11.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. 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. Table 18.

Technical Notes Brief Explanation of the CPI The Consumer Price Index (c p i ) 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 CPI’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 c pi for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (c p i -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, die 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 that people buy for dayto-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from about 57,000 housing units and approximately 19,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and services establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of food, fuel, 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 country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 29 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. 97 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. For further details, see BLS Handbook o f 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 4.0 108.5 0.037 0.037 X 100 3.7 Energy Prices Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: Price 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 South and West. Where no average prices are available, the designation n a 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 wiil be published. All prices are collected monthly by BLS representatives 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 P2 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 placeto-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table PI) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Since heating and airconditioning 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, 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 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 self-serve gas stations. 98 1 therm = 100,000 b t u ’S (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 c p i , actual weighted average prices are cal culated 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 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 commoditites 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 n a 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 the 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 longstanding 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 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. For the convenience of users, the BLS will continue to publish all items indexes for the U.S. city average, and for the individual local areas for which CPI’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 from b l s . Dividing by one of these factors will rebasp the related index series from its current 1982-84 base to its previous reference base. (Users 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.) A Note on Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging Effects Beginning 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 adjustment method was specificially designed to correct for quality changes associated with this deterioration. The BLS used hedonic regression methods to estimate the aging effect. 1 A complete technical presentation of BLS research on this subject is available in William C. Randolph, “ Housing Depreciation and Aging Bias in the Consumer Price Index,” BLS Working Paper No. 166, April 1987, and Journal of Buisness and Economic Statistics, Vol. 6, No. 3, July 1988, pp. 359-71 and in William C. Randolph, “ Estimation of Housing Depreciation: Short Term Quality Change and Long Term Vintage Effects,” BLS Working Paper No. 160, April 1986, andJournal of Urban Economics, Vol. 23, March 1988, pp. 162-78. These papers are available from the BLS on request. 2 For details on existing quality adjustment methods, see, BLS Handbook of Methods, chapter 19 (BLS Bulletin 2285). 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. 99 Because price data are used for different purposes by dif ferent groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes sea sonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month. For analyzing general price trends in the economy, sea sonally 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, holi days, and sales. The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consum ers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unad justed data also are used extensively for escalation pur poses. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation. In most cases, seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X -llARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated sea sonal 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 1987 through 1991 were replaced at the end of 1991. The seasonal movement of all items and 47 other aggregations is derived by combin ing the seasonal movement of 60 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 60 com ponents change their seasonal adjustment status from sea sonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years, but the sea sonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period. Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced seasonal adjustment procedure called intervention analy sis in conjunction with X-l 1-ARIMA for some CPI series. Intervention analysis allows for better estimates of season ally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp move ments which might distort the seasonal pattern are removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal fac tors in X-l 1-ARIMA. For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this proce dure was used to offset the effects that extreme price vola tility would otherwise have had on the estimates of season ally adjusted data for those series. For some women’s apparel indexes and the girls’ apparel index, the procedure was used to offset the effects of changes in pricing method ology; for new cars, new trucks, and new vehicles, this pro cedure was used to offset the effects of changes in market ing strategies and the introduction of new models. For the tobacco and smoking products index, this procedure was used to offset the effects of increases in excise taxes and wholesale tobacco prices. For some alcoholic beverage series, intervention was used to offset the effects of excise tax increases. An alternative to the intervention-adjusted X -llARIMA procedure is the state space model-based season al adjustment method. This method adjusts simultaneous ly for interventions and seasonal effects, rather than se quentially as in the X-l 1-ARIMA methodology, using structural statistical models with explanatory variables. The state space structural model-based method of seasonal adjustment was introduced in 1992 for the adjustment of January 1991-December 1991 indexes for three women’s apparel series: Dresses, Separates and sportswear, and Suits. A description of intervention analysis, as well as a list of events treated as interventions and seasonal factors for these items may be obtained by writing the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212-0001 or by calling Claire McAnaw on (202) 606-6968.
