During the first 8 months of 2000, the CPI-U rose at a 3.4-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). This compares with an increase of 2.7 percent for all of 1999. Energy costs have increased at a 14.3-percent annual rate in the first 8 months of 2000, after advancing 13.4 percent in all of 1999. Food costs, which rose 1.9 percent in 1999, have risen at a 2.8-percent SAAR, thus far this year. Ex cluding food and energy, the CPI-U has advanced at a 2.6percent rate compared with a 1.9-percent rise for all of 1999. The food and beverages index increased 0.2 percent in August. The index for food at home, which rose 0.7 per cent in July, increased 0.3 percent in August. Each of the major food at home groups—except fruits and veg etables—contributed to the deceleration in August. The in dex for fruits and vegetables rose 1.2 percent in August, following a 1.0-percent rise in July. Over the past 12 months, however, fruit and vegetable prices have risen only 0.2 percent. In August, within the fruits and vegetables group, the indexes for fresh fruits and fresh vegetables rose 0.5 and 2.3 percent, respectively. The index for processed he Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.1 percent in August, before sea sonal adjustment, to a level of 172.7 (1982-84=100). For the 12-month period ended in August, the CPI-U in creased 3.4 percent.

Among the other major food at home groups, the indexes for cereal and bak ery products and for dairy products each increased 0.3 per cent. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 0.2 percent in August. Meat prices continue to advance; the indexes for beef and for pork rose 0.5 and 0.8 percent, re spectively, in August and are up 8.4 and 9.8 percent in the past 12 months.

The other two components of the food and beverages index—food away from home and alcoholic beverages—each increased 0.2 percent in August. The index for housing increased 0.2 percent in August, following a 0.4-percent rise in July. The index for fuels and utilities, which rose sharply in both June and July, turned down in August. Each of the three principal household fu els failed to advance in August. The index for fuel oil de creased 0.1 percent in August, following a 20.5-percent rise over the past 7 months. The index for natural gas, which rose 20.1 percent in the first 7 months of 2000, declined 0.7 percent in August. The index for electricity was un changed in August, after increasing 1.9 percent in the first 7 months of the year. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, charges for electricity fell 0.4 percent in August, after increasing 9.4 percent in the first 7 months of 2000.)

Smaller increases in the indexes for admissions to movies, theaters, concerts, and sporting events and for club membership dues and fees for partici pant sports were largely responsible for the moderation. The index for education and communication rose 0.2 percent in August, following a 0.6-percent rise in July. Educational costs declined 0.2 percent, partially offsetting a 0.4-percent increase in the index for communication. The index for tuition, other school fees, and child care Table B.

As first announced at the time of the July 2000 CPI release, effective with the CPI for October 2000, BLS will extend hedonic quality adjustment to washing machines and clothes dryers. These items are both part of the major appliances stratum. A hedonic model decomposes the price of a consumer product into implicit prices for each of its important features and components, thereby providing an estimate of the value of each feature and component. BLS plans to extend this method to additional items in the CPI. As BLS does so, it will give CPI users notice at least 3 months before the first use of hedonic quality adjustment for each additional item and will have detailed papers on the models to be employed available by the time of first use. The relative importance (share of weight), as of December 1999, of the major appliances stratum was 0.205 percent in the CPI for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and 0.236 percent in the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). Within major appliances, washing machines are estimated to represent 18 percent of the weight and clothes dryers about 13 percent. The hedonic models that BLS analysts developed for washing machines and clothes dryers use observations collected for the CPI, supplemented with additional observations that the BLS collected specifically for this purpose. Papers describing this work are in preparation and will be available before release of the October 2000 CPI. Additional work on hedonic quality adjustment is underway at BLS.

" Data not available. NOTE: Local area 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.

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. NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date. 56 Table 18.

NA Data not adequate for publication. 106 Technical Note Brief Explanation of the CPI he Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the aver age change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics pub lishes CPIs for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Ur ban Consumers (CPI-U), which covers approximately 87 percent of the total population, and (2) a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which covers 32 per cent of the total population. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as profes sional, 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 physicians’and dentists’ services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 87 urban areas across the country from about 50,000 housing units and approximately 23,000 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 fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 87 locations. Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest metropolitan areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal visits or telephone calls of the Bureau’s trained representatives. In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights that rep resent 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 26 local ar eas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities; they measure only the average change in prices for each area since the base period. The index measures price change from a designed refer ence date— 1982-84, which equals 100.0. An increase of 16.5 percent, for example, is shown as 116.5. 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 1982-84 to $11.65. For further details see BLS Handbook o f Methods, Chap ter 17, the Consumer Price Index, Bulletin 2490, April 1997. T 107 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, whereas percent changes are not. The example below illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are ex pressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates. These data in dicate 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 115.7 111.2 4.5 Percent change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by 100 Equals percent change 4.5 111.2 0.040 0.040x100 4.0 Energy Prices Prices are usually available for the U.S. city average, 13 large metropolitan areas, the 4 census regions, 3 size classifications, and 10 areas reflecting the 4 Census regions cross-classified by the 3 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 NA appears. This designation also appears 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 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. table PI.) Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than one gallon. These prices are converted to a gal lon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity or quick payment. 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 CPI. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are cal culated 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 dif ferent 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 (shown in table PI) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Because heating and air-conditioning requirements vary by geographic loca tion, 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 con sumption, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised CPI. Gasoline and automotive diesel fuel. Gasoline and diesel prices, shown in table P3, are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, mini-service, and self-service gas sta tions. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indi cated: 1 therm = 100,000 BTU’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 and Beverage Prices Actual weighted average prices for food and beverages are calculated each month at the national level and for the four Census geographic regions, as shown in table P4. 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 prices for food in this report reflect Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. (See 108 variations in brand, quality, and size among geographic ar eas. 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 appears. When a price is not available from an individual store in any month, an esti mated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. In cases where the propor tion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is con sidered too high, the average price is not published and NA appears 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. seasonal adjustment procedure called Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Intervention Analy sis Seasonal Adjustment allows for better estimates of sea sonally adjusted data. Extreme values or sharp movements that might distort the seasonal pattern are estimated and re moved from the data before calculation of seasonal factors. Since the calculation of seasonal factors for 1996, X-12ARIMA software has been used for Intervention Analysis Sea sonal Adjustment. For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this proce dure is used to offset the effects that extreme price volatility would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally ad justed data for those series. For the breakfast cereal index, the procedure is used to offset the effects of price-cutting among cereal manufacturers. For the educational books and supplies index, the procedure is used to account for greaterthan-normal sale prices on educational reference books. For some alcoholic beverage series, Intervention Analysis Sea sonal Adjustment is used to offset the effects of increased brewer’s costs, along with increased demand for specialty beers. For the nonalcoholic beverages index, the procedure is used to offset the effects of a large increase in coffee prices due to adverse weather. For the fats and oils series, the pro cedure is used to account for lower domestic butter stocks, lower cold storage supplies, and anticipation of a bumper soybean crop. For the new trucks index, the procedure is applied to account for loyalty rebates offered to customers by American automakers. For the water and sewerage main tenance index, the procedure is used to account for a data collection anomaly. A description of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjust ment, as well as a list of unusual events modeled and sea sonal factors for these items, may be obtained by writing the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212, or by calling Claire McAnaw Gallagher on (202) 691-6968. Ms. Gallagher may also be reached at gallagher_c@bls.gov by e-mail. Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Because different groups use price data for different purposes, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted, as well as unadjusted, changes each month. For analyzing general price trends in the economy, sea sonally adjusted changes are usually preferred, because 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-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjust ment 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 1995 through 1999 were replaced at the end of 1999. The seasonal movement of all items and 54 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 73 selected components. Each year, the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 73 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not sea sonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years; but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period.
