The index for all items less food, shelter, and energy—up 4.1 percent in 1989—rose less than in 1988 as prices for other commodities registered their smallest increase in 3 years. In particular, apparel prices increased 0.7 percent in 1989 after advancing 4.8 percent in 1988. Prices for other services rose about the same as in 1988. An 8.4-percent increase in medical care services accounted for about onethird of the rise. The rates for the above mentioned groups during the past 8 years are shown below. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.2 percent before seasonal adjustment in December to a level of 126.1 (1982-84 = 100). For the 12-month period ended in December, the CPI-U increased 4.6 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also increased 0.2 percent in December prior to seasonal adjustment. The December 1989 CPl-w level of 124.6 was 4.5 percent higher than the index in December 1988. CPI for All Urban Consumers (cpi-u) Percent change 12 months ended December On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.4 percent in December, the same as in November. Food prices continued to advance, but by less than in November as prices for fruits and vegetables turned down in December. Energy costs, which declined slightly in November, were unchanged in December as a drop in gasoline prices was offset by increases in prices for household fuels. The CPI-U excluding food and energy rose 0.4 percent in December, the same as in November. For the 12-month period ended December 1989, the CPI-U advanced 4.6 percent. This compares with increases of 4.4 percent in both 1987 and 1988 and was the largest annual change since an 8.9-percent rise in 1981. While advances in the food, shelter, and energy components were each larger than in the preceding year, the slight acceleration in the overall CPI-U was principally due to the sharp increases in petroleum-based energy items during the first half of 1989. 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 All items........... 3.8 E n ergy........... 1.3 Energy commodities . -5.0 Energy services . . . . 14.1 All items less energy............. 4.2 F o o d ............. 3.1 All items less food and en ergy.... 4.5 Shelter............. 2.4 All item less fnnH chf*1tpr and energy.’. . 6.1 Other commodities . 5.5 Other services . . . . 7.3 3.8 -.5 3.9 .2 -3.2 -1.8 3.4 4.1 3.5 4.5 2.7 3.8 1.1 1.8 -19.7 1988 1989 4.4 8.2 4.4 .5 4.6 5.1 -30.5 17.8 -2.3 7.9 -0.6 -3.3 .2 3.2 2.8 4.4 3.8 4.0 2.6 3.8 3.8 4.1 3.5 4.7 5.2 4.6 5.6 4.8 4.7 4.7 5.2 4.3 6.0 3.8 4.6 4.2 4.8 4.7 4.5 4.4 4.9 5.0 4.3 3.7 3.3 3.8 4.7 4.1 5.0 3.1 2.2 1.4 3.5 4.0 2.7 4.9 6.0 5.4 5.6 4.3 5.6 5.5 Table A.

Shelter costs rose 0.5 percent in December. Within shelter, renters’ costs rose 0.6 percent; homeowners’ costs, 0.4 percent; and maintenance and repair costs, 0.2 percent. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.1 percent in December and 1.0 percent during the past 12 months. The transportation index rose 0.1 percent in December as an increase in new vehicle purchase costs was nearly offset by a 2.0-percent decline in gasoline prices. After advancing sharply earlier this year, gasoline prices have declined in 6 of the past 7 months. As of December, gasoline prices were 6.5 percent higher than a year ago, but were 25.0 percent lower than their peak level of March 1981. Prices for new vehicles rose 0.8 percent in December, their third consecutive monthly increase, following declines in each of the 5 preceding months. For the 12-month period ended in December, new vehicle prices rose 2.4 percent. Automobile finance charges increased sharply for the third consecutive month—up 1.9 percent in December—and have risen 4.3 percent during the past 12 months. Used car prices declined 0.2 percent in December and 0.4 percent during the past 12 months. The index for public transportation rose 0.3 percent in December and 4.1 percent in 1989. The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.7 percent in December, reflecting larger than usual end-of-season reductions, particularly for womens’ clothing. During the past 12 months, clothing prices overall have risen 0.7 percent, substantially less than increases of 4.9 and 4.8 percent in 1987 and 1988, respectively. The medical care component rose 0.5 percent in December to a level of 8.5 percent above a year ago. In December, the index for medical care commodities— prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 0.3 percent. The index for medical care services increased 0.6 percent, with the cost of professional services and hospital and related services up 0.7 and 0.3 percent, respectively. Professional services charges rose 6.5 percent in 1989 and hospital and related services, 11.3 percent. The entertainment index, which rose 0.2 percent in November, increased 0.4 percent in December. A 1.0-percent rise in the index for admissions (to movies, The index for food and beverages rose 0.4 percent in December. Grocery store food prices, which increased 0.7 percent in November, rose 0.5 percent in December. The index for fruits and vegetables, following large increases in both October and November, declined 1.3 percent in December, reflecting a sharp drop in fresh vegetable prices. All other major grocery store food groups, however, registered larger increases in December than in November. The index for dairy products continued its recent sharp upturn, advancing 2.2 percent in December and 10.3 percent during the past 12 months. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 1.0 percent in December. Prices for poultry and fish and seafood, which declined in November, turned back up in December. Egg prices continued to rise sharply, advancing 3.7 percent in December and 35.4 percent in 1989. Beef and pork prices, which rose sharply during the first quarter of 1989 before stabilizing or falling during the second and third quarters turned back up in the fourth quarter. During the 12 months ended in December, beef and pork prices rose 6.5 and 6.9 percent, respectively. The index for cereal and bakery products rose 0.6 percent in December and 7.5 percent in all of 1989. The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—increased 0.2 and 0.1 percent, respectively, in December. In 1989, the index for restaurant meals rose 4.6 percent and alcoholic beverages, 4.8 percent. The housing component advanced 0.5 percent in December, the same as in November. The index for household fuels and public utilities—up 0.9 percent in December—advanced sharply for the second consecutive month. Among household fuels, fuel oil prices rose 3.8 percent last month and 19.5 percent during all of 1989. Charges for natural gas and electricity increased 2.1 and 0.8 percent, respectively, in December, and 2.7 and 2.8 percent, during the past 12 months. The index for other utilities and public services rose 0.2 percent in December as a decrease in charges for telephone services partially offset large increases in charges for cable television and refuse collection. During the 12 months ended in December, the index for telephone services dropped 0.3 percent as declines in interstate and intrastate toll calls more than offset a October Compound annual rate 3-months ended December 1989 2 wholesale tobacco prices, increased 2.0 percent in December, accounting for over half of the monthly advance. During the past 12 months increases in the indexes for tobacco and tuition and other school fees—up 14.7 and 7.9 percent, respectively—accounted for about three-fourths of the annual increase in the other goods and services component. theaters, concerts, operas, other musical events, and sporting events) accounted for over 40 percent of the December entertainment advance. Charges for admissions rose 9.5 percent in 1989. The other goods and services component rose 0.9 percent in December to a level 8.2 percent above a year ago. The index for tobacco products, reflecting a sharp increase in 3 Reconciling Two Measures of Consumer Price Change: Third Quarter 1989 because both the CPI and the PCE have used a rental equivalence measure of homeowners’ costs since the beginning of 1983. This article continues the analysis of differences between two price measures—the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption Expenditures (p c e ) published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis ( b e a ) of the Department of Commerce. More information on the technique of reconciliation is available in the September 1981 Monthly Labor Review.1 Prior to December 1985, when b e a rebased the PCE data from a 1972 to a 1982 reference base2, the residual housing effect contributed a substantial portion of the cumulative difference between the CPI and PCE.3 However, with the use of a 1982 reference base, it is no longer a contributing factor, Cumulative differences The current-weight p c e remained higher than the CPI through the third quarter of 1989 (see table C). Since 1982, the PCE has risen 30.4 percent while the CPI has increased 29.1 percent. The net difference of 1.3 percentage points is attributable to two partially offsetting factors—weighting differences and an aggregate of “ other” effects. Weighting differences reflect the cumulative effect of the PCE using current, or moving, weights rather than 1982 fixed weights and accounted for a third quarter 1989 fixed-weight index which was 1.9 percentage points more than the currentweight PCE. The weighting effect, however, has been more than offset by a 3.2-percentage-point difference in “ other” effects as measured by a comparison of the two Laspeyresformula indexes, the CPI-U and the fixed-weight PCE. Historically, “ other” effects have mainly resulted from differences in seasonal adjustment methods, different market baskets, and the use of the Consumer Expenditure Survey data for determining the weight distribution in the CPI as opposed to the GNP composition used by the PCE to determine 1 Jack E.

Subsequent reconciliations appeared in the January, May, July, and October 1982 Review, and in the February 1983 Review. 2 The November 1985 CPI Detailed Report contains the final reconciliation (running through the third quarter of 1985) of the CPI and PCE using 1972 weights. 3 See “ Reconciling Two Measures of Consumer Price Change: Second Quarter 1984,” CPI Detailed Report, July 1984, pp. 4-6, for an explanation of the residual housing effect.

The c p i -U rose at an annual rate of 2.6 percent between the second and third quarters of 1989, 0.5 percent more than the 2 .1-percent rise in the chain-weight PCE. The weighting effect is arrived at by comparing the 1982 fixed-weighted p c e with the chainweight PCE. For the third quarter of 1989, the weighting effect was just 0.1 percent. The difference between the rates for the CPI-U and the fixed-weight p c e represents the “ other” effects factor, and revealed a 0.4-percent greater rise in the CPI-U during the third quarter. During the second quarter, the c p i -u and the chain-weight PCE had increased at rates of 6.4 percent and 5.8 percent, respectively. its weighting structure. The CPI did not begin using weights derived from the 1982-84 Consumer Expenditure Survey until January 1987, whereas the PCE had been using 1982 based weights since 1982. This gap in weighting between 1982 and 1987 further contributed to cumulative differences reflected in “ other” effects which occurred during that time period. Period-to-period differences To analyze, differences in the annual and quarterly rates of change in the CPI and PCE (see table D), the chain-weight PCE is used in place of the current-weight PCE.4 The chain4 CPI Detailed Report, July 1984, p. 5. 5 Semi log - I 160 120 80 - 1 40 Percent 30 10 -1 0 -3 0 Semilog 160 120 80 40 Percent -I 30 10 -1 0 -3 0 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 * Percent changes over 12—month spans are calculated from unadjusted data.

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. 53 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. 79 Table 19.

Technical Notes Brief Explanation of the CPI 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. 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 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 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 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. Seperate 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. 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 effected 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 109 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 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 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. 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 Prices In the revised CPI, 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 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 the BLS regional offices or from the Washington office upon request. 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. 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 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. 110 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 BLS. Dividing by one of these factors will rebase 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.) 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. 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. Because price data are used for different purposes by dif ferent 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 rsuch 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-11-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method. Annual updates replace 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 index 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 seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, unadjusted data adjusted will be used for the last 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period. 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 o f Buisness and Economic Statistics, Vol. 6, No. 3, July 1988, pp. 359-71 and in William C.
