Price Movements December 1994 CPI-U advanced 2.7 percent, the same as in 1993 and the fourth consecutive year in which the rise has been close to 3.0 percent. The food index rose 2.9 percent for the second consecutive year, with sharp increases in prices for coffee and fresh fruits and vegetables partially offset by a decline in meat prices. The energy index turned up in 1994, advancing 2.2 percent, following a 1.4-percent drop in 1993. Petroleum-based energy costs rose 5.2 percent, more than offsetting a 0.6-percent decline in charges for energy services. The CPI-U excluding food and energy continued the de celeration evident in this index since 1990. The 2.6-percent rise in 1994 followed an increase of 3.2 percent in 1993 and was the smallest advance in the index since a 1.5-percent increase in 1965. The further deceleration in 1994 reflects a decline in the index for apparel and upkeep and continued moderation in the index for medical care. The rates for se lected groups during the past 9 years are shown in table Q4. The food and beverage index rose 0.9 percent in Decem ber to a level 2.7 percent above a year ago. Grocery store food prices increased 3.5 percent in 1994, the same as in 1993. The 1.5-percent increase in December reflects a sharp increase in fruit and vegetable prices, which more than off set an aggregate decline in other grocery store food prices. The Consumer Price Index for A ll Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged prior to seasonal adjustment in December, remaining at a level of 149.7 (1982-84=100. For the 12-month period ended in December, the CPI-U in creased 2.7 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) declined 0.1 percent in Decem ber, prior to seasonal adjustment. The December 1994 CPI-W level of 147.2 was 2.7 percent higher than the index in December 1993. CPI fo r A ll Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.2 per cent in December, following increases of 0.1 and 0.3 per cent, respectively, in the 2 preceding months. In December, the index for food advanced 1.0 percent, largely as a result of a sharp rise in prices for fresh fruits and vegetables. The energy index continued to exhibit the volatility which has characterized its behavior in 1994, declining 0.3 percent in December after increasing 0.7 percent in November. The CPI-U excluding food and energy increased 0.1 percent in December, its smallest advance since a similar rise in Janu ary 1994. (See table A.)

Shelter costs rose 3.0 percent in 1994, with renters’ costs up 2.3 percent and homeowners’ costs increasing 3.3 percent. The index for fuel and other utilities turned back down in December, declining 0.3 percent after registering a 0.5-percent increase in November. The index for household fuels fell 0.6 percent, reflecting decreases in the indexes for each of the three major fuels. The index for fuel oil declined 0.1 percent in December to a level unchanged from a year earlier. The indexes for natural gas and electricity fell 1.5 and 0.3 percent, respectively. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, charges for natural gas rose 0.7 percent.) For the 12 months ended in December, charges for natural gas fell 3.2 percent, while those for electricity rose 0.6 percent. The index for other utilities and public services rose 0.1 percent in De cember, reflecting increases in the indexes for water and sewerage maintenance, refuse collection, and cable televi sion. Despite increases of 0.4 percent in both November and December, the index for cable television declined 2.6 per cent in 1994. The index for household furnishings and op eration, which fell 0.1 percent in December, increased 0.4 percent in 1994. The transportation index increased 0.3 percent in De cember. The index for gasoline was unchanged in Decem ber. (See “ Quality Adjustment for Gasoline” on page 4 of this issue.) In the 12 months ended in December 1994, gasoline prices have increased 6.4 percent. Despite this ad vance, gasoline prices are 14.4 percent their peak level in December 1990. The index for new vehicles was un changed. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, new vehicle prices rose 0.5 percent in December. As of December, the propor tion of 1995 models in the index was about 70 percent of the new car sample.) Automobile finance charges contin ued to increase in December, advancing 3.8 percent last month and 23.0 percent in all of 1994. Used car prices also continued to rise sharply, advancing 2.0 percent in Decem- The index for fresh fruits and vegetables, reflecting in part the effects of tropical storm Gordon on the Southeastern United States, rose 11.6 percent in December. Over the past 12 months, those prices rose 11.9 percent and accounted for about 45 percent of the increase in the grocery store food index. Prices for processed fruits and vegetables increased 0.6 percent in December and 0.5 percent during the past 12 months. In December, the index for cereal and bakery prod ucts rose 0.2 percent, while the indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, for dairy products, and for other food at home each declined. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, which increased 3.8 percent in 1993, declined 0.5 per cent in 1994. During the past 12 months, prices for beef, pork, and poultry declined 2.2, 2.3, and 0.5 percent, respec tively. The indexes for cereal and bakery products and dairy products rose 3.3 and 1.1 percent, respectively, in 1994. The index for other food at home, which fell slightly in Decem ber, increased 6.0 percent in 1994, largely as a result of the sharp rise in coffee prices earlier this year. Coffee prices jumped 55.4 percent during the 12 months ended in De cember and accounted for almost one-third of the overall grocery store food increase in 1994. The other two compo nents of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—rose 0.3 percent and 0.2 percent, re spectively, in December. The 1.9-percent advance in prices for restaurant meals in the past 12 months was the same as in 1993. The 1.0-percent rise in prices for alcoholic bever ages was the smallest annual increase in this component since a 0.5-percent rise in 1964. The housing component declined 0.1 percent in Decem ber, following an increase of 0.3 percent in November. Shel ter costs, which increased 0.3 percent in November, were unchanged in December. Within shelter, renters’ costs de clined 0.2 percent, homeowners’ costs were unchanged, and maintenance and repair costs rose 1.1 percent. The decrease in renters’ costs reflects a 1.0-percent drop in the index for 2 Table B.

Charges for professional services and hospital and related services increased 4.6 and 5.5 percent, respectively, in 1994. Entertainment costs declined 0.1 percent in December, but advanced 2.3 percent during the past 12 months. In De cember, small increases in the indexes for reading materials and admissions to movies, theaters, concerts, and sporting events were more than offset by price declines for toys and sporting goods and equipment, and for fees for club mem berships and for lessons and instructions. The index for other goods and services rose 0.2 percent in December to a level 4.2 percent above a year ago. In 1994, the costs for personal financial services rose 7.8 per cent, college tuition costs, 6.3 percent, and prices for to bacco and smoking products, 3.0 percent. ber and 8.8 percent in 1994. The index for public transpor tation registered its fourth consecutive monthly decline in December—reflecting another drop in airline fares. The in dex for airline fares fell 3.8 percent in December and has declined 9.5 percent in 1994 after advancing 17.0 percent in 1993. The index for apparel and upkeep, which fell 0.2 percent in December, declined for the sixth consecutive month. Holiday discounting was prevalent in December, and indeed throughout the past 6 months the proportion of clothing items with discounts has been markedly greater than in pre ceding years. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, clothing prices fell 3.0 percent in December.) Medical care costs rose 0.6 percent in December to a level 4.9 percent higher than a year earlier. This continues the moderation in this index since 1990 and was the smallest advance in this component since a 3.3-percent rise in 1972, when price controls were in effect. The index for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—was unchanged in December, but increased 3.0 percent during the past 12 months. The October November December Compound annual rate, 3months ended December 1994 CPI fo r Urban Wage Earners and Clerical W orkers (CPI-W) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers also rose 0.2 percent in December. 3 C P I-U 1 2 -m o n th c h a n g e s , 1985 to p re s e n t Percent 1985 Percent 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 4 1991 1992 1993 1994 Quality Adjustment for Gasoline sonal adjusted index would have increased 0.9 percent. The sale of reformulated gasoline w ill start no later than Janu ary 1, 1995. In December, 55 percent of the eligible refor mulated gasoline quotes were reported. The remaining 45 percent w ill be adjusted in January. A quality adjustment has been made to gasoline prices used in the December CPI. It accounts for the effects of the early introduction of mandated reformulated gasoline in selected areas of the United States. The gasoline index was unchanged in December, following seasonal adjustment. Without the quality adjustment, it is estimated that the sea 5 Improvements to CPI Procedures Effective with the release of data for January 1995, on February 15, the Bureau of Labor Statistics w ill introduce several technical improvements in the calculation of the Consumer Price Index designed to make the index a more accurate measure of price change. These improvements, which stem from findings of research conducted by BLS staff, w ill affect the food at home, shelter, and prescription drug components of the CPI. The change to the food at home component improves the outlet sample rotation process. (Approximately 20 per cent of CPI outlet samples are updated annually.) Empiri cal evidence has established that current procedures for the routine introduction of new samples tend to overstate price change for the newly sampled items immediately follow ing their introduction. Since the food at home component of the index is particularly sensitive to this effect, new measures designed to lessen its impact w ill be used in the calculation of the food at home component beginning with January 1995 data. In addition, two changes are being made in the way in which the shelter component of the CPI is calculated. First, the imputation formula for estimating owners’ equivalent rent, which relies upon a matching of a sample of residen tial rental units to a sample of homeowner units, w ill be improved. Second, additional BLS research has indicated that current procedures, both for residential rent and for owners’ im plicit rent, tend to understate the short-term rent change. Beginning with data for January 1995, BLS w ill incorporate an improved estimate. Research on this issue w ill continue during the course of the upcoming CPI revi sion, and, if this research yields further improvements in the estimates of rent changes, they w ill be incorporated into the index as part of the revision effort. Finally, the procedure for handling the introduction into the index of generic versions of formerly patented drugs into the index w ill be changed. The current practice of di rectly comparing the prices of patented and generic drugs only when the patented drug is no longer available in the sampled outlet w ill be changed. A new procedure, which w ill reflect the rate at which consumers switch their pur chases from patented to generic versions of a drug, w ill be employed beginning with CPI data for January 1995. The basic research papers on these topics are available from the BLS by calling 202-606-7000. These changes are explained more fully in the CPI Detailed Report for Octo ber 1994. 6 Table 1.

The following metropolitan areas are published annually and appear in tables 16A and 23A of the January issue of the CPI Detailed Report: New Orleans, LA and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. Data not available. 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 11.

Data not available. 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.

An in crease o f 7 percent, fo r example, is shown as 107.0. This change can also be expressed in dollars as follow s: the price o f a base period “ market basket” o f goods and services in the CPI has risen from $100 in 1982-84 to $107. For further details see BLS Handbook of Methods, BLS Bulletin 2414, September 1992. B r ie f E x p la n a t io n o f t h e C P I The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure o f the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Bureau o f Labor Statistics publishes CPI’s fo r two population groups: (1) a CPI fo r A ll Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent o f the total population and (2), a CPI fo r Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W ) which covers 32 per cent o f 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 selfemployed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees and others not in the labor force. The CPI is based on prices o f food, clothing, shelter, fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’ services, medicine, and the other goods that people buy for day-to-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, gasoline stations and other types o f stores and services establishments. A ll taxes direct ly associated w ith the purchase and use o f items are included in the index. Prices o f food, fuel, and and a few other items are obtained every month in all 85 locations. Prices o f most other commodities and services are collected every month in the five largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices o f most goods and services are obtained by either personal visits or telephone calls from 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 w ith weights which represent their importance in the spending o f the ap propriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also pub lished by size o f city, by region o f country, fo r cross-classifi cations o f regions and population-size classes, and for 29 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level o f prices among cities, they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period. C a lc u la t in g In d e x C h a n g e s Movements o f 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 o f the index in relation to its base period while per cent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box illustrates the computation o f index point and percent changes. Percent changes fo r 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula fo r compound growth rates. These data in dicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained fo r 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 95 4.0 108.5 0.037 0.037 x 100 3.7 Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported E n e r g y P r ic e s in therms, which are a measure o f heating value. Electricity prices are given in kilow att hours (kwh). For both u tility ser vices, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are the upper and low er lim its o f the b ill sizes priced fo r the Con sumer Price Index. The average prices per therm and per kilow att hour are calculated from b ills priced w ithin these ranges. It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI are not only for different consumption amounts, but may also be cal culated from different types o f residential rate schedules. Prices are usually available for the U.S. city average, 15 large metropolitan areas, the four census regions, four size classifications, and 13 areas reflecting the four Census re gions cross-classified by the four population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are used in every area o f the country. Fuel o il, fo r example, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South and West. Where no average prices are available, the desig nation N A 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 o il prices for a published city or region size class, no fuel o il prices for the area w ill be published. A ll prices are collected m onthly by BLS representatives in the urban areas priced fo r the CPI. Prices fo r natural gas and electricity include fuel and purchased gas adjustments and all applicable taxes. Fuel o il and gasoline prices include applicable Federal, State, and local taxes. The average price per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally suitable for use in place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices fo r 40 and 100 therms o f natural gas for 500 kilow att hours o f electricity (table P I) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation o f the CPI. Since heating and air-condi tioning requirements vary by geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it cannot be inferred that these con sumption amounts represent those used by a typical residen C e n s u s R e g io n s 96 change in quality resulting from the effect o f aging on rental housing. In January 1987, the Bureau announced its inten tion to begin making such adjustments, assuming that fur ther research substantiated the need to do so. The decision to implement the adjustment was based on extensive BLS re search, in which alternative adjustment methods were ex plored and tested. Evaluation o f the research indicates that an aging effect exists, and that the chosen method is opera tionally feasible.1The adjustment affect CPI shelter indexes, which would have been raised by 0.2 percent for the year 1987 had an aging adjustment been applied. The quality o f housing unit decreases as the unit ages. Ex isting BLS methods are used to correct fo r relatively easily measured quality changes such as the addition o f an extra bedroom, but such methods are inadequate to correct for de terioration in the condition o f housing unit.2 The aging adjustment method was specifically designed to correct for quality changes associated w ith this deteriora tion. The BLS used hedonic regression methods to estimate the aging effect. The estimates were then used to correct the CPI rent and rental equivalence indexes. Hedonic regressions are statisti cal functions that relate the price o f 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 o f the relationship between a housing u nit’s rent and age while oth er housing unit characteristics were held constant. The esti mated relationship was then used to construct the aging ad justment. Estimates w ill be recomputed annually by using the previous year’s BLS housing survey data and the most tia l consumer. These bills are used merely to track price changes over time fo r constant amounts o f consumption, and to provide continuity w ith prices o f natural gas and electric ity form erly published in conjunction w ith the unrevised Consumer Price Index. Fuel o il Only #2 fuel o il (home heating o il) is priced. Prices are collected, in most cases, fo r quantities greater than one gallon. These prices are converted to a gallon price for this program. Fuel o il prices reflect discounts for quantity and/or quick payment. Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump from a sample o f fu ll service, mini-service, and self-serve gas stations. Approximate B ritish Termal U nit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follow s, according to the source indicated: 1 therm = 100,000 B TU ’s (U.S. Department o f Energy). 1 kwh = 3,412 B TU ’ S (Edison Electric Institute). 1 gallon #2 fuel o il = 140,000 B TU ’ S (U.S. Department o f Energy). F o o d P r ic e s In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are cal culated each month at the national level and for the four Cen sus geographic regions. As a result o f 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 w ill help satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted that the average prices for food in this report reflect variations in brand, qual ity, and size among geographic areas. Users o f average food prices should be aware that these differences exist. Because a number o f food commodities are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices w ill 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 appears. When a price is not available from an individual store in any month, as estimated price w ill be calculated fo r the missing item and used in computing the average price. In cases where the pro portion o f estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price is not published and N A appears for that item in the table. Because o f space lim itations 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. recently available Census data. S e a s o n a lly A d ju s t e d a n d U n a d ju s te d D a ta Because price data are used for different purposes by differ ent groups, the Bureau o f Labor Statistics publishes season ally adjusted as w ell as unadjusted changes each month.For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect o f changes that norm ally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year— such as price movements resulting from changing clim atic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. 1A 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 Business and Economic Statistics, Vol. 6, No. 3, July 1988, pp. 359-71 and in William C. Randolph, “Estimation of Housing De preciation: Short Term Quality Change and Long Term Vintage Effects,” BLS Working Paper No. 160, April 1986, and Journal of Urban Econom ics, Vol. 23, March 1988,162-78. These papers are available from the BLS on request. 2 For detail on existing quality adjustment methods, see BLS Handbook of Methods, chapter 19 (BLS Bulletin 2414). A d ju s t m e n t o f S h e lt e r In d e x e s f o r A g in g E f f e c ts Beginning w ith January 1988 CPI, the Bureau o f Labor Statistics adjusts the monthly CPI shelter indexes for the 97 The unadjusted data are o f 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, fo r example, tie compensation changes to the Consum er Price Index unadjusted fo r seasonal variation. In most cases, seasonal factors used in computing the sea sonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X - ll- A R IM A Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated seasonal data at the end o f 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subse quent annual updates have replaced 5 years o f seasonal data, for example, data from 1987 through 1991 were replaced at the end o f 1991. The seasonal movement o f all items and 47 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement o f 60 selected components. Each year the seasonal status o f every series is reevaluated based upon certain statis tical criteria. Occasionally, a component changes its seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted. When this occurs, not seasonally adjusted data are used for the last 5 years, but before that period the seasonally adjusted indexes remain in calculations o f higher-level sea sonally adjusted indexes. Effective w ith the calculation o f the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau o f Labor Statistics has used an enhanced seasonal adjustment procedure called intervention analysis in conjunction w ith X -ll-A R IM A fo r some CPI series. In tervention analysis allows fo r better estimates o f seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which m ight distort the seasonal pattern are removed from the data prior to calculation o f seasonal factors in X -ll-A R IM A . For the fuel o il and the motor fuels indexes, this procedure was used to offset the effects that extreme price vo la tility would otherwise have had on the estimates o f seasonally ad justed data for those series. For some women’s apparel in dexes and the girls’ apparel index, the procedure was used to offset the effects o f changes in pricing methodology; and fo r new cars, new trucks, and new vehicles, this procedure was used to offset the effects o f changes in marketing strate gies and the introduction o f new models. For the tobacco and smoking products index, this procedure was used to offset the effects o f increases in excise taxes and wholesale tobacco prices. For some alcoholic beverage series, intervention was used to offset the effects o f excise tax increases. An alternative to the intervention-adjusted X - llA R IM A procedure is the state space model-based seasonal adjustment method. This method adjusts simultaneously for interventions and seasonal effects, rather than sequentially as in the X -ll-A R IM A methodology, using structural statis tical models w ith explanatory variables. The state space structural model-based method o f seasonal adjustment was introduced in 1992 fo r the adjustment o f January 1991December 1991 indexes for three women’s apparel series: Dresses, separates and sportswear, and suits.
