Price Movements February 1987 sible f$££he moderation. Gasoline prices rose 4.2 percent in February after advancing 6. 6 percent in January. Despite the shaspjiadvances thus far in 1987, gasoline prices were 18.0 pqr|gjt lower than a year ago and 32.4 percent below their peak level of March 1981. The declines in new car prices and automobile finance charges, down 1.1 and 2.5 percentj^pspectively, reflect a number of different price reduction programs—cash rebates and low interest loansdesigned by manufacturers to stimulate sales. Used car prices, which turned up in January after declining in each of the preceding 11 months, rose 1.1 percent in February. The index for public transportation rose 0.2 percent as moderate increases in the indexes for airline fares and intracity public transportation were partially offset by a decline in fees for intercity transportation other than airlines. The housing component increased 0.4 percent in February following a 0.5-percent increase in January. The index for household furnishings and operations, which increased 0.6 percent in January, was virtually unchanged in February. The index for fuel and other utilities rose 0.3 percent following a 0.4-percent increase in January. Fuel oil prices advanced sharply for the second consecutive month— up 4.4 percent in February after increasing 9.8 percent in January. As of February, however, these prices were 15.0 percent below their year earlier level and 33.5 percent below their peak level of April 1981. Charges for cable television and refuse collection also increased sharply for the second consecutive month. Charges for both telephone services and electricity declined slightly in February, while charges for natural The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPl-u) rose 0.4 percent before seasonal adjustment in February to a level of 334.4 (1967 = 100). For the 12-month period ended in February, the CPl-u has increased 2.1 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.4 percent in February, prior to seasonal adjustment. The February 1987 CPI-W level of 329.0 (1967 = 100) was 1.8 percent higher than the index in February 1986. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.4 percent in February following a 0.7-percent increase in January. Prices for petroleum-based energy rose sharply for the second consecutive month, but by less than in January, and accounted for over one-third of the overall CPI-U advance. Excluding all energy, the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent in February, after advancing 0.5 percent in January. This moderation was evident in many major categories of spending, with declines in the indexes for new cars and automobile finance charges accounting for nearly half of the deceleration. During the first 2 months of 1987, the CPI-U rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.7 percent. The index for transportation advanced 0.5 percent in February following a 1.5-percent increase in January. A smaller increase in prices for motor fuels and declines in new vehicle prices and automobile finance charges were respon- Table A.

The index for shelter.jpse 0.5 percent, the same as in January. Within shelter, renters' and homeowners' costs both increased 0.5 percent, wnile maintenance and repair costs declined 0.1 percent. The food and beverage index increased 0.2 percent in February, compared with 0.5 percent in January. A sharp turnaround in prices for alcoholic beverages—down 0.1 percent following a 0.9-percent increase in January—and a smaller increase in prices for food away from home were responsible for the deceleration in February. Grocery store food prices rose 0.4 percent, the same as in the preceding month. Fruit and vegetable prices rose 3.2 percent in February following a 1.0-percent increase in January. On the other hand, the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs—down 0.7 percent—declined for the third consecutive month. Beef, pork, poultry, and egg prices each declined in February, more than offsetting a 1.9-percent increase in prices for fish and seafood. Prices for cereal and bakery products and dairy products rose moderately in February. The index for other food at home declined slightly, largely due to a 2.6-percent drop in coffee prices. The medical care component rose 0.3 percent in February to a level 7.1 percent above its level a year prior. In February, the index for medical care commoditiesprescription drugs, non-prescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 0.4 percent. The index for medical care services increased 0.3 percent, with the costs of professional services and hospital and related services up 0.6 and 0.2 percent, respectively.

The introduction of higher priced spring merchandise, particularly men's clothing, was largely responsible for the advance. The entertainment index continued to register very moderate increases, advancing 0.1 percent in February. The other goods and services component rose 0.7 percent in February, following a 1.1-percent increase in January. Prices for tobacco products, which advanced 2.0 percent in January, rose 0.9 percent in February and accounted for about 30 percent of the advance. CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.4 percent in February. The old series data begin on page 109. CPI (old series) For the first 6 months of 1987, BLS will also calculate old series CPI-U and old series CPl-w based on the 1972-73 expenditure patterns used in the CPI from 1978 through 1986. The old series data begin on page 109. In February, the old series CPl-u and the old series CPI-W both rose 0.4 percent (not seasonally adjusted). Consumer Price Index Revision The Bureau of Labor Statistics introduced a revised Consumer Price Index (CPI) with the release of the January 1987 index in February 1987. As a result of the revision, both the CPI-U and the CPi-w now use updated expenditure weights based upon data tabulated from 3 years (1982, 1983 and 1984) of the Consumer Expenditure Surveys, replacing the old expenditure weights based on 1972-73 data. The Bureau periodically revises the expenditure weights so that the CPI reflects price changes of items currently being purchased by consumers. A greatly enhanced housing survey designed to improve the rental equivalence measure of homeownership costs in both the CPI-U and CPI-W was introduced with release of the January 1987 CPI. The selection of the new housing sample is structured to represent optimally both owners and renters in the estimation of shelter costs. In addition, a number of methodological and sampling advances first introduced in the 1978 revision were enhanced and incorporated into the CPI for January 1987. For example, the selection of the urban areas and the allocation of outlet samples in which prices are collected for the CPI were done by the Bureau with the primary objective of producing the most accurate national CPI possible with the funds available. The CPI revision was begun as a 5-year project in 1984. In addition to the new expenditure weights and enhancements introduced with the January 1987 CPI, other technical improvements will be introduced over the next 2 years. (See, for example, "Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging Effects," page 5.) Also, the January 1987 index was based for the first time on the geographic distribution of consumers as of the 1980 Census of Population. The previous CPI used the 1970 Census of Population. The requirement to allocate the sample so as to provide the most accurate national CPI has resulted in some local areas not having samples sufficient to permit frequent publication. Therefore, effective with release of the data for January 1987, a number of local area CPFsare now published less frequently. The areas affected by the changes in publication are identified later in this article. Both of the CPl's are linked to the indexes for December 1986 to provide a continuous series. The linking was accomplished by setting the index levels of the revised CPI, with the updated expenditure weights and samples,equal to the index levels published for the previous series in December 1986. Each index has been moved upward or downward from the December 1986 level in accordance with subsequent changes in prices. As in the past, the Bureau is publishing selected indexes using the old expenditure weights for 6 months after the issuance of the revised CPI. In order to conserve resources, the overlap indexes will differ from the revised indexes only in their expenditure weights. Unlike earlier revisions, the overlap indexes are not based on the old sample of items and outlets. The reference base period for revised CPI indexes issued for January 1987 is 1967 = 100, the same as for the previous indexes: As described below, this reference base period wiirbe changed to 1982-84 = 100 effective with the CPI for Jamjary 1988. In acfiiifum to the national all-city average CPI-U and CPiw indexes/fiie Bureau previously published indexes for 28 local areas. In 1987, the Bureau is publishing indexes for all but one of these areas—Northeast Pennsylvania (ScrantonWilkes-Barre). Because of the requirement to allocate the sample to provide the most accurate national CPI possible, however, 14 of the remaining 27 published areas have had a change in the frequency of their publication. Based on population growth since 1970 and the expanded definitions of the Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas issued by the Office of Management and Budget, the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area has replaced the DetroitAnn Arbor area as the fifth largest area covered by CPI indexes. For that reason, the San Francisco area is now published monthly while the Detroit area is published only for even-numbered months rather than monthly. Indexes for 12 areas previously published bimonthly are now compiled on a semiannual average basis. These areas are: Buffalo-Niagara Falls, N.Y.; Cincinnati-Hamilton, Ohio-Ky.-Ind; Kansas City, Mo.-Kansas City, Kan.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.-Wis.; Atlanta, Ga.; Anchorage, Alaska; Denver-Boulder, Colo.; Honolulu, Hawaii; Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash.; San Diego, Calif.; and Seattle-Tacoma, Wash. The semiannual average indexes, which refer to the arithmetic averages of the 6-month periods from January through June and July through December, are published with release of the CPI for July and January, respectively, i.e., in the months of August and February. These series are compiled and published on their previous reference bases, 1967 = 100 for all areas other than Anchorage, which is on an October 1967 reference base. Also, the Cleveland-AkronLorain, Ohio, indexes are now published for odd-numbered rather then even-numbered months. Indexes were previously published bimonthly for 4 regions, 5 size classes, and 16 region-by-size groups. Beginning with January 1987, publication of these indexes is monthly; two of the size classes have been combined and two of the regionby-size groups (nonmetropolitan areas in the West and in the East) were eliminated. Additional details on the revision are available from BLS. Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging Effects Recent Bureau of Labor Statistics research demonstrates that the CPi's for residential rent and owners' equivalent rent should be adjusted for the effects of the aging of the housing units. Currently the BLSdoes not adjust for the fact that, on average, houses amd apartments depreciate slowly through time. If the results from the revised shelter survey confirm this initial result, then an aging adjustment will be introduced with the CPI for January 1988. (The research results indicate that annual changes for the residential rent and owners' equivalent rent indexes would be about 0.3 percent larger if aging adjustments were included.) The basic research papers on this topic are available from the BLS. Consumer Price Indexes Will Shift to New Reference Base in 1988 Beginning with the release of data for January 1988 in February 1988, most Consumer Price Indexes will shift to a new reference base year. All indexes currently expressed on a base of 1967 = 100, or any other base through December 1981, will be rebased to 1982-84 = 100. Only indexes with a base later than December 1981 will keep their current 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 its 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 10#4?The last rebasing of CPI data occurred in February 1971, When the current 1967 base was substituted for the former 4 #37-59 base. Historical data for each CPI series on the newj liaise will be available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the convenience of users, BLS will continue to publish all items indexes for the U.S. city average, and for the individual local areas for which CPl's are published, on their former official reference base (1967 = 100 in most cases).

Definitions do not include revisions made since 1983. 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 12.

Definitions do not include revisions made since 1983. 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. 79 Table 19.

Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses. 114 Technical Notes Brief Explanation off 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 and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 91 urban areas across the country from about 60,000 housing units and approximately 21,000 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 food, fuels, and a few other items are obtained every month in all 91 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. Mail questionnaires are used to obtain public utility rates, some fuel prices, and certain other items. In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross calculations of regions and population-size classes, and for 27 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. 115 The indexes measures price change from a designated reference date, 1967, which equals 100.0. An increase of 203 percent, for example, is shown as 303.0. 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 $10 in 1967 to $30.30. For further details see BLS Handbook of Methods, Vol. II, "The Consumer Price Index," Bulletin 2134-2, April 1984 and "The Consumer Price Index: 1987 Revision, "BLS Report 736, January 1987. Calculating Index Changes Movements of the indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points, because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a 12-month period. Index Point Change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change 315.5 303.5 12.0 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change 12.0 303.5 0.040 0.040 x 100 4.0 Homeownership Changes The Consumer Price Index (CPI) has been changed to incorporate a rental equivalence measure of homeowners' costs in accordance with plans announced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on October 27, 1981. For the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). this change was effective with release of the index for January 1983 and for the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPi-W), it was effective with the release of the January 1985 index. The rental equivalence approach calculates shelter costs of homeowners based on the implicit rent owners would have to pay to rent homes that they own. The old method calculated homeownership as home purchase, mortgage interest costs, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repairs. The new homeownership component was introduced into both the CPI-U and the CPIW in such a manner that in each case the indexes using the old and new methodologies were equal in the so-called "link monthM—December 1982 for the CPI-U and December 1984 for the CPI-W. For more information, see the CPI Detailed Report for January 1983, pp. 7-13. 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 place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas and for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table P-l) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Since heating and air-conditioning 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, to provide data for place-to-place price comparisons, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index. Fuel oil Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than one gallon. These prices are converted to a per gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity and/or quick payment. Energy Prices Prices 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 Sputh and West. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA will appear, 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 will be published. All prices, except for electricity, are collected monthly by BLS representatives in the urban areas priced for the CPI. Electricity prices are collected monthly on mail questionnaires by the Department of Energy for BLS. 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. Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, mini-service, and selfserve gas stations. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU> values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: 1 therm = 100,000 BTITS (U.S. Department of Energy). 1 kwh = 3,412 BTirs (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 calculated 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, however, 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 commodities are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will 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 P-2 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 116 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 BLS Regional Offices or from the Washington Office upon request. Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month. a U.S. G O V E R N M E N T P R I N T I N G O F F I C E : 1 9 8 7 — 1 8 1 - 4 9 8 ' 6 0 2 0 5 117 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 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-l 1 ARIMA 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 1982 through 1986 were replaced at the end of 1986. The seasonal movement of all items 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 status from not seasonally adjusted to seasonally adjusted, seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before the period.
