The 1990 acceleration in the CPI-U was primarily due to the sharp price increase in energy commodities. The 35.4-percent advance in 1990 follows a 7.9-percent rise in 1989 and was the largest increase since a 52.1-percent jump in 1979. The increase in charges for energy services—natural gas and electricity—at 1.5 percent, was substantially less than the overall inflation rate. The food index slowed slightly, with all three groups—grocery store foods, restaurant meals, and alcoholic beverages—contributing to the moderation. Within grocery store foods, double-digit price increases for meats aftd fresh fruits accounted for about half of the 5.8-percent over-the-year rise. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged before seasonal adjustment in December. The December 1990 CPI-U level of 133.8 (1982-84 = 100) was 6.1 percent higher than the index in December 1989. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) was also unchanged in December prior to seasonal adjustment. The December 1990 CPI-W level of 132.2 was 6.1 percent higher than the index in December 1989. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPi-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent in December, the same as in November and substantially less than the 0.7-percent average monthly rate during the preceding 3-month period. The energy index, which slowed in November after advancing sharply in the preceding 3 months, declined 0.4 percent in December. Gasoline prices fell 0.3 percent, despite an increase in the Federal excise tax from 9 to 14 cents a gallon on December 1. The food index, reflecting a downturn in prices for fruits and vegetables, increased 0.1 percent in December after advanc ing 0.5 percent in November. The CPI-U excluding food and energy rose 0.4 percent in December, slightly more than in October and November. For the 12-month period ended in December 1990, the CPI-U advanced 6.1 percent. This compares with increases of about 4.5 percent in each of the 3 preceding years and Percent change for 12 months ended December 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 All items............... 3.8 Energy ............... -.5 Energy commodities .. -3.2 Energy services 4.1 All items less energy............... 4.5 F o o d ................. 2.7 All items less food and energy......... 4.8 4.7 Shelter...............

The indexes for electricity and natural gas in creased 1.4 and 1.8 percent, respectively, in 1990. The in dex for other utilities and public services declined 0.7 per cent in December, as a decrease in charges for telephone services was partially offset by increases in other public ser vices, in particular cable television. Charges for cable televi sion, which advanced 1.3 percent in December, have risen 13.1 percent in the past 12 months. Shelter costs increased 0.4 percent in December. Within shelter, renters’ costs were up 0.7 percent and homeowners’ costs, 0.2 percent, while maintenance and repair costs declined 0.1 percent. The large increase in renters’ costs resulted from a 2.1-percent rise in the cost of lodging while out of town. Residential rents rose 0.4 percent. The index for household furnishings and opera tions, which declined 0.4 percent in November, fell 0.1 per cent in December, as a decline in prices for household fur nishings more than offset increases in the indexes for housekeeping supplies and services. The index for transportation rose 0.5 percent in December, its smallest increase since July, largely due to a downturn in prices for motor fuels. The index for gasoline, which ad vanced 27.2 percent in the 4 months ended in November, declined 0.3 percent in December. During the 12 months ended in December, gasoline prices have risen 36.8 percent. Automobile purchase costs continued to increase in December. The new car index rose 0.9 percent, its third con secutive increase, following declines in 7 of the preceding 8 months. For the 12-month period ended in December, new car prices rose 1.4 percent. Automobile finance charges— up 1.2 percent in December—registered their fourth consecutive increase, but over the past 12 months were unchanged. The used car index turned up in December, following seasonal adjustment, but was 2.2 percent lower than in December 1989. The index for public transportation advanced sharply for the fourth consecutive month in December, largely as a result of the continued increase in airline fares. A 3.9-percent rise in December brought the increase in airline fares to 12.7 percent during the past 4 The CPI-U, when food and energy are excluded, registered its largest increase since 1981. Shelter costs rose slightly more than in 1989. Clothing prices, which rose 0.7 percent in 1989, advanced 5.0 percent in 1990 and more than offset smaller price increases for most other commodities. Charges for other services rose more in 1990 than in any of the pre ceding 7 years. In 1990, increases in public transportation and medical care services accounted for about three-fourths of the acceleration. The index for food and beverages increased 0.1 percent in December. Grocery store food prices also rose 0.1 per cent in December after advancing 0.7 percent in November. This moderation was largely due to a sharp turnaround in the index for fruits and vegetables—down 0.5 percent in December, following a 2.7-percent increase in November. Also contributing to the moderation were a larger drop in prices for dairy products and a smaller increase in the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs. Within the latter category, beef and pork prices continued to increase in December— up 0.8 and 0.6 percent, respectively, but by less than in November. Poultry and egg prices declined 0.6 and 1.8 per cent, respectively. For the 12-month period ended in December pork prices rose 16.7 percent; beef prices, 8.9 percent; and poultry prices, 1.5 percent. Egg prices were 4.6 percent lower than in December 1989. The index for dairy products rose 3.1 percent in 1990, despite a drop of 1.1 percent in December. The indexes for cereal and bakery products increased 0.5 percent in December and 4.6 percent in the last 12 months. The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—increased 0.2 percent and were unchanged, respectively. In 1990, the index for restaurant meals rose 4.5 percent and alcoholic beverages, 4.2 percent. The housing component increased 0.2 percent in December, the same as in November. A modest accelera tion in the indexes for shelter and household furnishings and operations was offset by a decline in the index for household fuels and other utilities. Among household fuels, the indexes for fuel oil and electricity declined 3.6 and 0.3 percent, respectively, while charges for natural gas rose 1.6 percent. October Compound annual rate 3-months ended December 1990 2 months and 22.7 percent since December 1989. The medical component rose 0.7 percent in December to a level that was 9.6 percent above a year ago. In December, the index for medical care commodities—presecription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 0.8 per cent. The index for medical services increased 0.7 percent, with the cost of professional services and hospital and related services up 0.5 and 0.9 percent, respectively. Charges for professional services rose 6.7 percent in 1990 and for hospital and related services, 11.3 percent. The index for apparel and upkeep increased 0.5 percent in December, reflecting somewhat smaller than normal seasonal price reductions for most clothing items. During the past 12 months, clothing prices rose 5.0 percent, substan tially more than in 1989, but about the same as in each of the preceding 2 years. The entertainment index rose 0.1 percent in December, the same as in each of the 2 preceding months. In December, declines in prices for toys and sporting goods were more than offset by moderate increases in prices for most other enter tainment goods and services. The other goods and services component rose 0.7 percent in December to a level that was 7.6 percent above a year ago. The index for tobacco products, reflecting a sharp in crease in wholesale tobacco prices, increased 1.8 percent in December, accounting for about 60 percent of the monthly advance. During the past 12 months, increases in the indexes for tobacco and tuition and other school fees—up 10.8 and 7.9 percent, respectively—accounted for over two-thirds of the annual increase in the other goods and services component. 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 0.3 percent in December. 3 Reconciling Two Measures of Consumer Price Change: Third Quarter 1990 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 (PCE) published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the Department of Commerce. More information on the technique of reconciliation is available in the September 1981 Monthly Labor Review. 1 The PCE is a byproduct of the BEA’s National Income and Product Accounts. Since the PCE obtains many of its com ponents directly from the CPI, the construction of the ag gregate indexes is the major cause of discrepancies. The weights for the PCE are from the National Accounts while the CPI weights are derived from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. Also, unlike the CPI, the PCE calculations include ex penditure patterns from persons in rural areas and from non profit organizations. Prior to December 1985, when BEA rebased the PCE data from a 1972 to a 1982 reference base,2 the residual housing effect contributed a substantial portion of the cumulative dif ference between the CPI and PCE.3 However, with the use of a 1982 reference base, it is no longer a contributing factor, because both the CPI and the PCE have used a rental equivalence measure of homeowners’ costs since the begin ning of 1983. Cumulative differences The CPI remained at a lower level than the current-weight through the third quarter of 1990 (see table C). Since 1982, the CPI has risen 36.3 percent while the PCE has in creased 37.0 percent. The net difference—0.7 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. As of the third quarter, weighting accounted for a difference of 2.1 percent between the two indexes. A 2.8-percentage-point difference in “ other” effects, however, was enough to more than offset the weighting ef fect. “ Other” effects are measured by a comparison of the two Laspeyres-formula indexes, the CPI-U and the fixedPCE 1 Jack E. Triplett, “ Reconciling the CPI and PCE D eflator,” Monthly Labor Review, September 1981, pp. 3-15. 2 The November 1985 CPI Detailed Report contains the final reconciliation (running through the third quarter o f 1985) o f the CPI and PCE using 1972 weights. 3 See “ Reconciling Two Measures o f Consumer Price Change: Second Quarter 1984,” CPI Detailed Report, July 1984, pp. 4-6, for an explana tion o f the residual housing effect. A subsequent reconciliation appeared in the October 1984 Detailed Report. Table C.

For this reason, some of the figures in tables C and D may differ from those previously published. 2 Annual average percent changes for the CPI-U are calculated from indexes on a 1982-84 weight PCE is used in place of the current-weight PCE.4 The chain-weight PCE uses the Laspeyres formula and obtains its weights from the first of the two periods being compared. The CPI-U rose at an annual rate of 6.3 percent between the second and third quarters of 1990, 1.1 percent more than the 5.2-percent rise in the chain-weight PCE. The weighting effect is determined by comparing the 1982 fixed-weighted PCE with the chain-weight PCE. For the third quarter of 1990, the weighting differences reflected a 0.5-percent faster rise in the fixed-weighted index. The difference between the rates for the CPI-U and the fixed-weight PCE represents the “ other” effects factor, and showed a 0.6-percent more rapid rise in the CPI. During the second quarter, the CPI-U and the chainweight PCE had increased at rates of 3.8 percent and 3.4 per cent, respectively. weight PCE. The fixed-weight PCE has risen 39.1 percent since 1982, compared with the CPI’s rise of 36.3 percent. Historically, “ other” effects have mainly resulted from dif ferences 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 op posed to the g n p composition used by the PCE to determine its weighting structure. The CPI began using weights derived from the 1982-84 Consumer Expenditure Survey in 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.

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.

Nov. 1990 108 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 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 directiy 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. 109 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 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 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 b l s 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 BT U ’S (U.S. Department of Energy). 1 kwh = 3,412 B T U ’S (Edison Electric Institute) 1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BT U ’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 fo r 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, v'ur.n 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 b l s 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 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.) 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 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 col lective 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 -1 1 -a r im a 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 1985 through 1989 were replaced at the end of 1989. The seasonal movement of all items and 45 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 55 selected com ponents. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 55 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years, 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. Randolph, “ Estimation of Housing Depreciation: Short Term Quality Change and Long Term Vintage Effects,” BLS Working Paper No. 160, April 1986, and. Journal o f 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 b l s housing survey data and the most recently available Census data. 111 but the seasonally 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 analysis for some CPI series. Intervention analysis allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern are removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this pro cedure was used to offset the effects that extreme price volatility would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally 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 methodology; and for new cars and for new vehicles, this procedure was used to offset the effects of changes in marketing strategies and the introduction of new models. A description of interven tion analysis, as well as a list of events treated as interven tions and seasonal factors for these items may be obtained by writing the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Con sumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or by calling Claire McAnaw on (202)504-2051. 112 U.
