Price Movements

the food and beverage index rose 0.1 percent. The entertainment and apparel and upkeep components both
advanced moderately in January.
The housing component rose 0.5 percent in January,
following a decrease of 0.8 percent in December. Shelter costs rose 0.7 percent and were responsible for the
upturn. Within the shelter component, renters' costs increased 0.6 percent and homeowners' costs rose 0.7
percent. The index for maintenance and repairs, which
pertains to both renters and homeowners, advanced 1.5
percent. The index for fuels and utilities, which had increased at a 12.6 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate
during the preceding 8 months, declined 0.2 percent.
Sharp drops in both the price of fuel oil and electricity
charges more than offset the substantial increase in the
index for natural gas. Prices for telephone services and
water and sewerage maintenance also registered large
increases.
The transportation component declined 0.6 percent
in January, following a decrease of 0.1 percent in December. A 3.3 percent drop in gasoline prices was primarily responsible for the further decline. As of January, gasoline prices were 10.6 percent below their
peak level of March 1981. Automobile finance
charges—down 2.4 percent—declined for the sixth consecutive month. Partially offsetting these declines were
increases in new and used car prices—up 0.1 and 0.9
percent, respectively. An increase in airline fares, following declines in November and December, was
largely responsible for the 0.6 percent advance in the
index for public transportation.

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent before seasonal adjustment in January to a level of 293.1 (1967=100). For
the 12-month period ended in January, the CPI-U has
increased 3.8 percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) was virtually unchanged
in January, prior to seasonal adjustment. The January
1983 CPI-W level of 292.1 was 3.5 percent higher than
the index in January 1982. The CPI-W is used for indexing Social Security and some other Federal payments. It is also commonly used as an escalator in collective bargaining agreements.
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally
adjusted changes
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban Consumers rose 0.2 percent in January, following
a decrease of 0.3 percent in December. The housing
component, which declined in December, advanced in
January. (See page 7 for a description of the improved
treatment of homeowners' cost in the housing index.)
The overall CPI excluding the shelter component of
housing was unchanged in January after increasing 0.3
percent in December. A decline in the transportation
index—because of a sharp drop in gasoline prices—was
offset by increases in the remaining major categories of
consumer spending. Large increases in cigarette prices
pushed up the index for other goods and services; medical care prices also rose substantially. Although grocery store food prices remained unchanged in January,

The index for food and beverages advanced 0.1 percent in January. Prices for grocery store foods were
unchanged on average, following declines in each of
the preceding 2 months. A sharp decline in fresh fruit
and vegetable prices offset a moderate acceleration in
the prices of other major grocery store food groups.
The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, which declined sharply in December, rose 0.3 percent in January. Pork and poultry prices rose moderately, following 2 months of declines. Beef prices continued to decline but by less than in December. The indexes for
dairy products and other food at home both advanced
0.7 percent in January, the largest increase in almost
2 years. Prices for cereal and bakery products also rose
more than in recent months. The two remaining components of the food and beverage index—restaurant
meals and alcoholic beverages—rose 0.3 and 0.1 percent, respectively.
The 0.8 percent increase in the medical care index in
January was the same as in December and compares
with the average monthly increase of 0.9 percent during 1982. The index for medical care commodities,
which includes prescription and nonprescription drugs
and medical supplies, increased 0.7 percent. Charges
for physicians' services and hospital rooms rose 1.4 and
0.3 percent, respectively.
The index for apparel and upkeep rose 0.3 percent in
January, following declines in each of the preceding 2
months. Smaller than usual seasonal declines were recorded for many clothing items and were responsible
for the increase.

The index for other goods and services registered its
fifth consecutive large monthly increase—rising 1.1 percent in January—as increases in cigarette prices again
accounted for most of the advance. The index for entertainment rose 0.5 percent in January.

CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers (CPI-W)—seasonally adjusted changes
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers was unchanged in
January, following a decline of 0.2 percent in December. A 0.6 percent decline in the transportation component offset increases in most other major categories of
consumer spending. Substantial increases were recorded
in both the other goods and services (1.3 percent) and
the medical care (0.9 percent) components. The entertainment index advanced 0.4 percent, while the food
and beverage component rose 0.1 percent. The indexes
for both apparel and upkeep and housing were unchanged in January.
The CPI-W was unchanged in January; the CPI-U
rose 0.2 percent. The primary reason for the difference
between the 2 measures was the change in the homeownership component. The new rental equivalence
CPI-U measure of homeowner shelter costs rose 0.7
percent. Homeownership in the CPI-W, which uses
house prices, mortgage interest rates, property taxes,
property insurance, and maintenance and repair costs,
declined 0.2 percent in January, primarily due to a decline in mortgage interest rates.

In accordance with plans announced in October 1981, this issue introduces a new treatment of
homeownership costs into the CPI for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The CPI-U based on the old method for
homeownership (CPI-U Old Series) will be available through June 1983 (see tables on pp. 87-110). The CPI
for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) will not be affected by this change until 1985. Additional information on the CPI homeownership change is given in the article beginning on page 7.




Consumer Price Changes
in 1982

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
rose 3.9 percent in 1982, a sharp deceleration
from the increase of 8,9 percent in 1981. It was the
smallest yearly increase in a decade and compares with a
9.2-percent average annual rate of inflation from 1972
to 1981. The experimental measure CPI-U, X-l, which
used an approximate form of the rental equivalence approach that was incorporated into the official CPI-U in
January 1983, also showed a lower rate of price increase—up 5.0 percent in 1982 compared to 8.5 percent
in 1981.
Six of the seven major categories in the CPI-U showed
at least some reduction in the rate of increase in 1982
compared with 1981 (Table C). Only the "other goods
and services" category, which accounted for only 4.4
percent of the index at the end of 1982, exhibited an acceleration. The major sources of the deceleration were
the sharp declines in mortgage interest rates and motor
fuel prices, two of the more dominant factors leading to
the double-digit inflation rates experienced in 1979 and
1980. Together, the decline in mortgage interest costs
and motor fuels accounted for over 70 percent of the
slowdown of the CPI-U between 1981 and 1982.
Mortgage interest rates, which rose nearly 60 percent
from 1978 to 1981, declined 12.5 percent in 1982. Fuel
oil and gasoline prices benefited from the worldwide oil
glut, as crude oil imports reached their lowest level since
1974. In addition, for the second consecutive year,
favorable food supplies helped moderate food price increases.
While mortgage interest and fuel costs dominated the
marked deceleration of prices in 1982, the overall
slowdown in prices was widespread. The all items index
excluding energy, homeownership costs, and food,
referred to as the underlying rate of inflation, increased
6.0 percent in 1982 compared with 9.4 percent in 1981.
(CPI-U)

Food and beverages
The food and beverages component rose 3.2 percent
in 1982, following increases of 4.3 percent in 1981 and
10.1 percent in 1980. Consumer prices for food at home
(grocery store foods) advanced only 2.2 percent during
the year compared with 3.0 percent in 1981 and an annual rate of nearly 10 percent from 1972 to 1980. The
1982 increase in grocery store food prices was the
smallest since the 0.9-percent decline in 1976.




The index for cereals and bakery products continued
to decelerate, increasing 3.1 percent in 1982. Prices for
cereals and cereal products, in response to the second
consecutive year of declining wheat prices, climbed only
1.3 percent. The index for flour and prepared flour
mixes rose only 1.2 percent while cereal prices were up
4.9 percent. Rice, pasta, and cornmeal prices declined
4.2 percent, due to large worldwide supplies of rice and
wheat during the year.
Meat, poultry, fish, and egg prices, after falling in
1981, rose 3.1 percent in 1982. Beef and veal prices
decreased slightly, but the decline was more than offset
by a sharp increase in pork prices—up 15.3 percentTable C. Contribution of components to changes in

due to decreased supplies. As a result of plentiful supplies, the index for poultry declined for the second consecutive year. Prices for fish and seafood products rose
2.8 percent, slightly less than in 1981. Egg prices fell
12.9 percent following a more modest decline in 1981.
Prices for dairy products were relatively stable for the
second consecutive year, as supply continued to outstrip
demand. The over supply of raw and fluid milk at the
wholesale level prompted legislation of a tax of 50 cents
per hundredweight to be assessed on producers to help
finance the milk support price.
The index for fruits and vegetables increased very
slightly during the year, following substantial increases
in each of the preceding 5 years. The market for fresh
fruits and vegetables, sensitive to weather conditions,
exhibited wide swings in prices throughout the year.
Prices for fresh fruits and vegetables rose at a
20.0-percent annual rate during the first half of the
year, compared with an 18.2-percent annual rate of
decline during the second half. The poor 1982 crop in
Florida and low production levels in the Southwest
resulted in price increases in oranges and other fresh
fruits which more than offset decreases in apple and
banana prices.
Prices for fresh vegetables fell 3.2 percent following a
moderate increase in 1981 and a much sharper rise in
1980. The first fialf of 1982 showed a 14.4-percent annual rate of increase while the second half registered an
18.1-percent decline, due to increased production levels
during the latter half of the year.
Retail prices for sugar and sweeteners rose 7.1 percent
after declining more than 30 percent in 1981. The reversal was largely attributable to imposition of new government import quotas in the spring which caused raw cane
sugar prices at the producer level to climb 29.4 percent.
By the end of the year, domestic raw sugar prices were
more than triple the world level. Candy and chewing
gum prices fell slightly, reflecting the earlier decline of
sugar prices in 1981.
The index for nonalcoholic beverages advanced 2.9
percent, somewhat more than in 1981. Prices for
roasted coffee decelerated throughout the last three
quarters of the year, but failed to offset January and
February increases brought about by market speculators. Soft drink prices climbed moderately
throughout the year.
The index for food away from home advanced 5.0
percent, the smallest rise since 1972. The decline in per
capita disposable income during 1982 lowered demand
while at the same time most ingredient prices were rising
less rapidly.
Prices for alcoholic beverages rose a modest 4.0 percent, the smallest increase since 1977.
Housing

The housing component of the CPI rose 3.6 percent in
1982, the smallest increase in 10 years. The deceleration




was especially apparent in homeownership costs, which
rose 1.4 percent in 1982 following an increase of 10.1
percent in 1981 and even larger increases in each of the
preceding 3 years. Mortgage interest costs, which account for about 42 percent of homeownership costs,
declined 6.0 percent in 1982, compared to an increase of
20.0 percent in 1981. This index reflects the combined
effect of changes in house prices and mortgage interest
rates; in 1982, house prices rose 7.5 percent, while
mortgage interest rates declined 12.5 percent. The ceiling on FHA/VA insured mortgages dropped from 15.5 to
12.0 percent between August 15 and November 15. Conventional rates followed the same general pattern.
Market conditions and economic policies both contributed to the decline as diminishing inflationary expectations led to an easing in monetary policy and a subsequent downward slide of interest rates in the last 4 months of 1982. Prices for home maintenance and repairs,
which rose at an average annual rate of about 10.0 percent from 1978 to 1981, rose 4.2 percent in 1982.
Household fuel prices increased 10.5 percent in 1982,
down from a 15.2-percent increase the year before.
Escalation in natural gas prices—up 25.4 percent—was
mainly responsible for the 1982 increase. A common
provision of contracts between producers and
distributors—which were drawn up in the late 1970's
when supplies were well below demand—required
distributors to take the higher priced natural gas or pay
for it anyway. This led to rising prices even though supplies were up and demand was down. On the other
hand, fuel oil prices declined 0.7 percent in 1982, a
dramatic change from the 17.0-percent increase in 1981.
Electricity charges rose 6.4 percent, compared to 14.5
percent in 1981. Lower fuel costs for generating electricity and smaller rate increases permitted by State and
Federal regulators resulted in the slowdown.
Prices of housefurnishings rose 3.2 percent in 1982
compared to 6.1 percent in 1981, reflecting in part the
slack demand that accompanies a depressed housing
market. The index for textile housefurnishings posted
its smallest increase since 1977. In an attempt to keep
mills operating despite lower demand for raw fiber,
manufacturers chose to cut prices extensively.

Apparel and upkeep

The index for apparel and upkeep increased 1.6 percent in 1982 compared to a 3.6-percent rise in 1981. This
was the smallest increase since 1965. The major causes
of the slowdown were the slackening demand associated
with the recession and a general stabilization of wages
throughout the apparel industry. Most unions agreed to
postpone negotiated wage increases in 1982. Although
labor costs held steady, profit margins were still squeezed due to significant increases in the nonlabor costs of
production. Most of the deceleration occurred within

apparel commodities, which rose only 0.9 percent in
1982. In particular, women's and girls' clothing prices
were unchanged on average, a situation last experienced
in 1964.
Prices for infants' and toddlers' apparel accelerated
in 1982, possibly fueled by the surge in sales accompanying an apparent baby boom. The cost of sewing
materials and notions increased very moderately as
domestic producers continued to struggle to remain
competitive with inexpensive imports. The index of
jewelry and luggage, which has been dominated by the
prices of precious metal jewelry, decreased for the
second consecutive year after the rapid rise in gold and
silver prices in 1980. Footwear prices—up 0.1 percent in
1982—exhibited their smallest rise in 30 years, largely
because of stable leather and hide prices.
Although apparel services increased 6.2 percent in
1982, this still represented a slowdown from the
9.4-percent increase posted in 1981. The service sector is
usually slower to react to slackened demand. The impact of the recession has, however, forced drycleaners
and laundries to limit their price increases to changes in
their costs.

average annual rate for the 3 preceding years. Lower
fuel costs, smaller negotiated wage increases, decreased
demand, and increased competition all contributed to
the deceleration.
Medical care

The index for medical care registered a slightly lower
rate of increase in 1982, but still increased more than all
other major consumer categories except other goods
and services. For the 12 months ended in December
1982, the medical care index rose 11.0 percent, compared with a 12.5-percent rise in 1981. The increase in
1982 reflects a modest slowdown in prices of both
medical care services and medical care commodities. In
particular, smaller increases in the index for professional services were responsible for most of the moderation in the services index. On the other hand, other
medical care services rose somewhat more in 1982 (up
15.3 percent) than in 1981 (14.4 percent). The cost of
hospital rooms, which continued to increase substantially, rose somewhat less than in the preceding year.

Entertainment
Transportation

The index for transportation rose 1.7 percent in 1982,
a major reversal from the 10.7-percent average annual
rate for the previous 8 years. The dominant factor in the
dramatic deceleration was the index for gasoline, which
registered its largest decline—6.6 percent—since it was
first published in 1935. The worldwide crude oil glut
which began in early 1980, together with a continued
slackening in demand, caused prices at the pump to
drop in 18 of the 21 months from April 1981 through
December 1982. Crude oil supplies began to tighten in
the second quarter of 1982 as OPEC struggled to maintain existing price levels by lowering production. This
led to significant price increases for gasoline from May
through July. However, production of many OPEC
countries exceeded the levels set by the cartel, the spot
market price was again pushed down, and further
gasoline price declines resulted.
The new-car market suffered through its third consecutive year of generally declining sales as domestic
new-car sales hit the lowest level since 1961. Even a large
drop in auto finance charges failed to generate an increase in sales. Prices for new vehicles rose 1.5 percent
in 1982 compared to 6.8 and 7.5 percent in 1981 and
1980 respectively.
Used-car prices rose 10.9 percent in 1982. Although
large relative to other items, the increase in used-car
prices is a substantial slowdown compared to the
19.3-percent annual rate over the previous 2 years.
Public transportation costs went up 6.5 percent in
1982, a significant improvement over the 23.4-percent




Prices for entertainment increased 5.6 percent in
1982, a moderate slowdown from the 7.2-percent increase in 1981. Nearly 50 percent of the deceleration
came from sporting goods and equipment, which rose
only 1.2 percent in 1982. Price increases accelerated for
several other items, however. Increases for reading
materials reached double-digit levels as newspapers and
magazines continued to pass through their rising
publishing costs. In addition, higher costs for film and
print paper led to larger price increases for
photographic supplies and services.
Other goods and services

The only major category in the CPI that experienced a
greater rate of price change in 1982 than in 1981 was
other goods and services. The acceleration can be attributed to one item—cigarettes. Legislation passed in
the summer of 1982 doubled the Federal excise tax on
cigarettes from 8 to 16 cents per pack effective January
1, 1983. Manufacturers began phasing in the effect of
the tax increase gradually, apparently to minimize the
adverse impact of a large one-time increase. From
September through December, cigarette prices rose
almost 15 percent. The index for tobacco products (90
percent cigarettes) rose 20.1 percent in 1982—more than
double any previous year's increase. In addition to the
Federal tax increase, two other tax factors have pushed
up cigarette prices: First, many States apply their excise
tax on cigarettes to the retail price, thus compounding
any other price increases; and second, ten States raised
their tax on cigarettes in 1982.

The price change for other goods and services exeluding tobacco products decelerated from 1981 to
1982, consistent with the overall CPI-U. Most of this
slowdown occurred within the personal care category
for both commodities and services. Although prices for
all of the items within the personal and educational expense categories rose at double-digit levels, the increases




were still less than those experienced in 1981. Prices for
school books reflected the same publishing cost increases shown in reading materials. Tuition fees rose
sharply for the third consecutive year. Personal expense
prices, dominated by bank service charges, increased
14.3 percent,

Changing the Homeownership Component
of the Consumer Price Index
to Rental Equivalence

The Bureau of Labor Statistics introduced an important improvement in the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers (CPI-U) with release of January 1983
data on February 25, 1983. The Bureau changed the
homeownership component of the CPI to a "flow-ofservices" approach. The change, first announced by
Commissioner of Labor Statistics Janet L. Norwood in
October of 1981,1 was implemented by means of the rental equivalency technique.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) will continue to use the
old homeownership method until January 1985, when it
also will be changed to incorporate a rental equivalence
measure of homeownership costs. In both cases, BLS
will publish indexes using the old method for a 6-month
overlap period following the switch to the new method.
In essence, the change converted the homeownership
component from a method that included investment as
well as consumption elements, to a flow-of-services approach that measures only the cost of shelter services
consumed by homeowners. The flow-of-services approach was implemented using the rental equivalence
technique, which estimates the change in the cost of renting housing services equivalent to those provided by
owner-occupied homes.
This article presents some background on the nature
and purpose of the change and the steps involved in the
conversion to the rental equivalence measure. The
specific changes, discussed in detail below, are summarized in tabular form in table D.
Background
The change in the index followed many years of
recommendations and research by BLS staff and by
other government, academic, business, and labor
economists and statisticians.
The Bureau conducted extensive research on measuring shelter cost for homeowners as part of the program
that led to the comprehensive revision of the CPI in
1

Bureau of Labor Statistics, October 27, 1981.




1978. From these efforts came a BLS staff proposal to
change the treatment of shelter costs in the CPI to
a flow-of-services approach. This proposal was widely
reviewed and discussed. However, difficulties in
developing a workable flow-of-services measure and the
diversity of views held by various advisory groups led to
the decision not to change the component's concept at
that time.
After the completion of the revision program, BLS
continued its research on the measurement of
homeownership costs. In 1980, the Bureau introduced
five experimental measures (known as the CPI-U-X1
through the CPI-U-X5) to demonstrate the effect different homeownership concepts and techniques could
have on the All Items CPI. The measure known as CPIU-Xl, which used a rent substitution technique, is the
direct (although approximate) antecedent of the method
the Bureau now has adopted. The development of the
CPI-U-X1 increased confidence in the workability and
credibility of a rental equivalence measure. The extraordinary changes that have occurred in real estate and
mortgage markets in recent years, changes which called
greater attention to the limitations of the old method,
also influenced the timing of the Bureau's decision to
change the homeownership component.
The asset approach to homeownership formerly used
in the CPI-U was based in part on house prices and mortgage interest rates. In recent years, the Bureau has had
serious difficulties in obtaining reliable data for both.
Important changes had occurred in financial markets
which were not reflected in the CPI. Funds available for
long-term mortgage commitments had declined sharply.
New types of mortgage instruments, involving variable
rates, shorter financing terms, and other special arrangements, had developed, making the standard, longterm, fixed-rate mortgage used in the CPI increasingly
unrepresentative of the mortgage market. In fact, some
of the new instruments had characteristics, such as
variable rates and principal amounts, which made them
impossible to use in computing the CPI, because the
CPI assumed long-term mortgages at fixed interest
rates. Furthermore, because of high interest rates and
difficulties faced by home buyers in securing bank mort-

gages, many owners were offering to sell their home by
providing financing at below bank rates. These financing arrangements were not reflected in the CPI.
The house prices used in the CPI-U were obtained
from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and
pertained only to purchases financed with FHA-insured
mortgages. This data base represented a very small,
specialized, and declining segment of the housing
market; the data were becoming less representative of
the market and were causing serious estimation problems.
In addition to problems of data adequacy, the
Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 (Public Law
97-34), which requires use of the CPI-U for escalation
of income tax brackets and the personal exemption
amount, made it even more important to improve the
index. The law requires announcement of the new tax
brackets in December 1984, based on CPI-U data for
the prior 2 years. This major new use of the index will
have a broad effect on total Federal Government
revenues. This new use was among the factors which
underscored the importance of action to ensure that the
CPI reflects the consumption cost experience of consumers in the most accurate way possible.
Conceptual framework for homeownership
The appropriateness of a given homeownership
method for use in the CPI is best judged in terms of its
underlying conceptual framework. The old method of
measuring homeownership costs—the so-called asset
approach—is based on procedures that are largely
definitional. The flow-of-services approach and the rental equivalence methods were developed directly from
the economic theory of consumer price indexes.
In the overall conceptual framework for the Consumer Price Index,2 it is assumed that the consumer's
welfare is determined by the flow of consumption services received, where the services can be (1) directly provided, (2) obtained coincidentally with the consumption
of a nondurable good (in which case, the distinction between a good and a service is unnecessary), or (3) obtained from the use of a durable good owned by the consumer. In each case, satisfaction is derived from the act
of consumption. Ownership of a source of consumption
service—a durable good—is an "investment," designed
to provide consumption services over a future timespan.
Within this framework, the CPI should measure the
change over time in the cost of the market basket of ser2

Framework for the Revised Consumer Price Index,'* Proceedings,

Association, 1974, pp. 246-52. See also Robert Gillingham and Walter
Lane, "Changing the Treatment of Homeownership in the CPI,"

vices consumed in the base period. For the services provided by directly purchased services and nondurable
goods, this implies observing market prices and transaction levels in the base period, as well as the subsequent
time path of market prices. However, for the services
provided by durable goods owned by consumers, the
implicit price of the services must be estimated, because
market transactions do not take place each time the service is consumed. Consequently, the problem is basically
one of estimation. This problem is not serious for many
durable goods because aggregate service flows and aggregate purchase flows are closely related, and asset
price movements are closely related to service price
movements. For example, an automobile normally will
depreciate fully over a period of years. New automobile
purchases during a period can be viewed as replacing the
depreciated stock, thus equaling the value of
automobile services for all consumers. In these cases,
standard techniques can be used. For housing, however,
this pattern does not typically hold, and more complex
procedures are required to capture its consumption cost.
The rental equivalence approach as incorporated into
the CPI attempts to answer the following question:
How much rental income do the owners of housing
units forego when they choose to occupy the units
themselves instead of renting them out? In what
follows, this is called the "implicit rent." It is useful to
stress that, although homeowners' rent is implicit, it is
not hypothetical. It is a cost all homeowners actually incur. This cost includes both indirect and direct
homeowner expense items. Indirect items include the
cost of keeping wealth tied up as equity in one's home
and the house's physical depreciation. Price appreciation can be an implicit negative cost, that is, a cost offset, when rising real estate prices give homeowners a
gain in the value of their homes. Property taxes and insurance are examples of direct homeowners' expenditures which affect the level of homeowners' implicit
rent.
Implementation of rental equivalence
Even before the October 1981 decision to adopt the
rental equivalence method, work was underway to improve the experimental rental equivalence measure,
CPI-U-X1, and to conduct further research on rental
equivalence techniques. Funds were obtained to augment the CPI rent survey, adding more renters in heavily owner-occupied areas, and to begin observing a sample of owner-occupied housing units. With the decision
to convert homeownership costs in the CPI-U to a rental
equivalence measure, these activities were organized into three separate phases of work.
Phase 1 addressed the limitations of the experimental
measure CPI-U-X1 and was completed with the publication of the January 1983 CPI. Phase 2 augmented the
rent sample so as to improve both the homeowners' rent-

al equivalence and the regular rent components of the
CPI. Although not originally announced for completion
at this time, phase 2 also was completed with the
publication of the January 1983 CPI. Phase 3, which is
currently in progress, consists of research activities to
identify improved rental equivalence estimating techniques.
Limitations of CPI-U-X1
Because the CPI-U-X1 was computed outside the
CPI production system by restructuring indexes at the
U.S. major group level, it lacked the precision and
detail and, more importantly, the proper local area
weighting of the official CPI. Further, the five
homeownership items of the old method—home purchase, contracted mortgage interest cost, property
taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and
repairs—were simply replaced in the CPI-U-X1 by a
single, new homeownership item. The weight for this
new item was computed using a rather imprecise, shortcut technique from homeowners' estimates of what their
homes would rent for, as reported in the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey. Finally, the price movement
used for this new item was the price movement of the
U.S. residential rent index.
Phase 1
In phase 1, these limitations of the CPI-U-X1 were
addressed. First, the new index was computed from
local-area item-strata cost weights. This process provides the precision, complete item and geographic
detail, and proper geographic weighting associated with
the official CPI. Second, new expenditure weights were
calculated by means of the complex statistical
estimating procedures used throughout the CPI. As
described in detail below, weights were calculated for a
new primary homeownership item, titled homeowners'
equivalent rent, and recalculated for household insurance, maintenance and repairs, and household appliances. Finally, a new set of statistical weights for the
sample of rental units was calculated so that its price
movements could represent owner-occupied housing
units as well as renter-occupied units.
Expenditure weight calculation
The expenditure weights currently used in the CPI
refer to the 1972-73 period and are based upon a survey
of consumer spending conducted at that time. Calculation of the base-period expenditure weights for the
primary rental equivalence item, and for portions of the
maintenance and repairs and the appliance strata, was
straightforward since these weights were standard
tabulations from expenditures reported in the 1972-73
survey. However, the calculation of secondary strata
weights—those for insurance and for the homeowners'
shares of maintenance and repairs and appli-




ances—under the rental equivalence approach proved
more complex. The relative importance of each index
component resulting from this activity is shown in table E.
Owners' equivalent rent. The weights for the primary
new stratum, owners' equivalent rent, are based on the
owner's estimate of what the house would rent for. In
the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey, each
homeowner was asked: "If you were to rent out your
home today, how much do you think it would rent for
monthly, unfurnished and without utilities?" Studies
of the responses to this question showed estimates to be
reasonable. The responses, tabulated by geographic
area, structure type, age, and other variables, were compared, cell by cell, with the rents on similarly classified
renter-occupied residences. The estimated rents for
owner units were, consistently, slightly higher than the
actual rents for the renter units. This indicates that it is
likely that owner-occupied homes are, as is generally
thought, somewhat better than those occupied by
renters even in the same geographic areas and the same
age and structure type categories. Therefore, they command a higher rent.
Maintenance and repairs. The rental-equivalence items
for maintenance and repairs contain both renters' and
owners' expenditures. The renters' expenditure portion
of each item weight was computed by aggregation of actual renter expenditures as reported in the 1972-73
survey. For the owners' portions of the maintenance
and repair strata, weights were estimated by imputing
expenditures from survey renters to survey
homeowners. In each region, renters were sorted into
cells by variables such as size of house, type of structure, and age of structure. The average expenditure by
renters with the cell characteristics for each of the five
maintenance and repair strata was assigned to each
homeowner with the cell's characteristics. The resulting
weights were consistent and reasonable for all but 1 of
the 5 maintenance and repair strata. For one stratum,
which included miscellaneous hardware items, the
directly estimated owner weights were used because they
are not particularly tenure sensitive and many of the
items in the stratum are not likely to be provided by a
landlord. Capital improvements made by homeowners
are out of scope under the flow-of-services concept.
Household insurance. The rental-equivalence expenditure weights for insurance were obtained by reducing
owners' total expenditures for property insurance to
remove the share of insurance included in owners'
equivalent rent. This was accomplished by adjusting the
old method weights. Factors to do this were developed
from insurance industry data for each of the four
regions of the United States. It was assumed that the
owners' estimated rents included property insurance on

their dwellings' structure, but did not include "tenant"
coverages for contents or liability. The factors that
removed the structure coverage were the ratios of
premiums for tenant insurance policies to comparable
homeowner policies. For example, a homeowner policy
was priced for a $50,000 masonry, single-family home
with $25,000 contents and liability coverages in selected
rating areas for selected insurance companies. Then, a
tenant's policy, which covered everything except
damage to the house itself, was priced for the same
coverages, areas, and companies. The ratios of the
tenant policy prices to the owner policy prices were computed for a number of specifications. The ratios within
each region were averaged to obtain the factors; they
were 0.64, for the Northeast, 0.59 for the North Central, 0.60 for the South, and 0.68 for the West. These
ratios were applied to the current weights for
homeowners' insurance to produce the rental
equivalence household insurance weight.

Statistical reweighting of the rent sample
Rental units in the existing rent sample were selected
with a multistage technique, using 1970 census data.
First, using a stratified technique, a set of Censusdefined areas called enumeration districts was chosen
within each CPI pricing area. The selection was proportional to the number of renters. Enumeration districts
are generally the smallest areas for which stratification
variables are available. Among the stratification
variables used for selection was the extent of owner occupancy; that is, whether the enumeration districts
were mostly (more than 65 percent) owner-occupied
residences, mixed (between 20 and 65 percent owner occupied), or mostly renter (under 20 percent owner occupied). BLS subdivided the selected enumeration
districts into smaller areas called segments, usually containing between 40 and 125 housing units. One or more
segments were selected, on a probability basis, for each
enumeration district. All the housing units in the
selected segments were screened to determine their
tenure status (whether owner or renter) and a simple
random sample of the renters in each segment was
taken. This rent sample was designed to measure rent
change for renters. Each sample unit was weighted according to the number of rent units it represented.
Those units in mostly owner-occupied segments represented renters in those areas, and the units in mixed and
mostly renter areas represented renters in those areas.
Because the enumeration districts, segments, and sample units were selected with probability proportional to
the number of renters, each unit in the sample for each
CPI publication area had a weight of approximately the
same magnitude; that is, the sample was efficiently
designed to estimate rent change for renters.
In phase 1 of rental equivalence a new statistical
weight for each unit in the rent sample was calculated so
that the rent units would represent the owners. The new
owner weights were computed by applying to each unit's
original renter weight the ratio of owners to renters in its
enumeration district. For example, the phase 1 owner
weights for all the units located in an enumeration
district that was 90-percent owner and 10-percent renter
would be the old renter weights increased by a factor of
9 (90 +- 10). In an enumeration district which was
80-percent renter and 20-percent owner, the weight was
multiplied by a factor of 0.25 (20 -s- 80). Thus, with the
recalculated statistical weights, the units in the existing
rent sample are assumed to represent the owners in their
enumeration districts. Ultimately, they also represent
the owners in their CPI areas and the urban United

Appliances. For the four appliance strata, a similar, but
more complex, reduction-factor scheme was devised using data for rental units in the 1972-73 survey. It was
assumed that owners' expenditures for these appliances
during the survey year were a reasonable estimate of the
value of the flow of services provided by the entire stock
of these appliances during the survey year. However,
since some housing units were rented with certain appliances—that is, the services of the appliances are included in the rent—owner expenditures for these appliances needed to be scaled down by the proportion
assumed to be in the implicit rent. For the four major
appliance items (refrigerators/freezers, washers/dryers,
dishwashers, and stoves), it was assumed that the proportion of homeowners who included the services of
each appliance in their estimate of implicit rent was
equal to the proportion of comparably specified rental
units in the same geographic area in which the appliance
was supplied. For the other appliance items (floorcleaning equipment, sewing machines, office machines,
window air-conditioners, and small electric kitchen appliances), the reduction factor was assumed to be 1.0;
that is, it was assumed that no expense for these items
was covered in homeowners' estimates of what their
dwellings would rent for. Factors were computed for the
40 CPI publication areas and, within each area, for
three types of dwellings (single-family, multifamily, and
mobile homes). These appliance factors—the proportion of rental units in which the appliance was not provided for in the rent—were applied to the owners' appliance expenditure to obtain an estimateof the value of
appliance services not included in the implicit rent and,
consequently, the value which, when added to renters'
appliance expenditures, produced the new appliance expenditure weight.3




3
The appliance weight estimate based on imputing renters* expenditures to owners does not produce satisfactory results because renters'
households are, in general, younger than owners' households and,
consequently, do a great deal of first-time appliance purchasing,
which is investment, rather than replacement, expenditure.

States. With the original and the recalculated weights,
two different measures of rent change can be calculated,
rent change for renters using the original weights and
rent change for owners using the recalculated weights.
However, since the enumeration districts were chosen to
represent renters, not owners, and since the recalculated
weights are so varied, the rent change estimator for
owners derived from the reweighted sample is not as efficient for owners as the rent change estimator is for
renters, which uses the original weights.

among more units. Second, the weights representing
owners were recalculated from the new weights for
renters in the same manner as phase 1. Because the
weights representing renters became smaller in the areas
with high ratios of owners to renters, the new statistical
weights representing owners generally became lower,
too. So the phase 2 augmentation lowered many of the
very high owner weights, reducing the range of their
magnitudes and thereby improving the estimate of rent
change for owners. More importantly, the augmentation increased the sample size, thereby reducing the expected error of the estimators.

Phase 2-rent sample augmentation
As already noted, the original rental unit weights are
all roughly the same size in each publication area, which
makes the existing rent survey a reasonably efficient
estimator for renters. However, the phase 1 owner
weights varied greatly from one another, so that the
phase 1 measure was not as efficient. The recalculated
weights of some units were reduced to zero (those in
100-percent renter areas), while others' weights were increased by as much as 35 times. Consequently, while the
phase 1 reweighting did represent owners, it was
relatively inefficient; the variance of the estimates was
higher than could be obtained for the sample size if the
survey were focused on representing owners. The phase
2 augmentation was designed to mitigate this shortcoming, at least in part. The augmentation was concentrated
in the heavily owner-occupied enumeration districts.
New segments and sample units were selected from them
and added to the sample. All statistical weights were
then recalculated for a second time. First, the original
weights (those representing renters) were recomputed,
yielding lower values in the heavily owner-occupied
areas where the additional units were concentrated as
the fixed weight of each enumeration district was spread




Phase 3
Although it may lead to more immediate technical improvements in measuring homeowners' implicit rent,
phase 3 is primarily research into advanced rental
equivalence methods to be implemented in the next CPI
revision. For phase 3, BLS is developing a sample of
homeowners to be resurveyed annually. Various techniques will be tested for estimating implicit rent for the
owners.
Future improvements
The 1983 change in the CPI-U breaks new ground in
applied economic measurement. Further improvements
can undoubtedly be made. In addition to those which
may result from the phase 3 research effort, more extensive changes for housing are planned in the next comprehensive index revision. Revision plans include a larger housing survey, based on the 1980 census and designed, from the outset, to support price change estimators
for both homeowners and renters. Expenditure weights
for housing will be based on a more current period, will
use more precise calculation procedures, and will have
more consistency among housing items.

Area is generally the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA),
exclusive of farms. LA.-Long Beach, Anaheim, Calif, is a combination of
two SMSA's, and N.Y., N.Y.-Northeastern N.J. and Chicago, III.Northwestern Ind. are the more extensive Standard Consolidated Areas.
Area definitions are those established by the Office of Management and
Budget in 1973, except for Denver-Boulder, Colo, which does not include
Douglas County. Definitions do not include revisions made since 1973.

B - 385,000 to 1,250,000.
C 75,000 to 385,000.
D Less than 75,000.
Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes
A-1 and A-2.
NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI
progfam. Because each local index is a small subset of the national
index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to
substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the
national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than
the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar.
Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider
adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses.

Area is generally the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA),
exclusive of farms. L.A.-Long Beach, Anaheim, Calif, is a combination of
two SMSA's, and N.Y., N.Y.-Northeastern N.J. and Chicago, III.Northwestern Ind. are the more extensive Standard Consolidated Areas.
Area definitions are those established by the Office of Management and
Budget in 1973, except for Denver-Boulder, Colo, which does not include
Douglas County. Definitions do not include revisions made since 1973.

Regions are defined as the four Census regions.
The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have
urban population as defined:

«. Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes
A-1 and A-2.
NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI
program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national
index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to
substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the
national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than
the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar.
Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider
adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses.

B - 385,000 to 1,250,000.
C 75,000 to 385,000.
D Less than 75,000.
Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes
A-1 and A-2.
NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI
program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national
index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to
substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the
national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than
the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar.
Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider
adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses.

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. Effective with the January
1978 index, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began
publishing CPI'S for two population groups: (1) a new
CPI for AH Urban Consumers (CPi-u) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total noninstitutional
civilian population; and (2) a revised CPI for Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which
represents about half the population covered by the
CPI-U. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners
and clerical workers, groups which historically have
been excluded from CPI coverage, such as professional,
managerial, and technical workers, the self-employed,
short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees and
others not in the labor force.
The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter,
and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors' and
dentists' services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from about
18,000 tenants, 18,000 housing units for property taxes,
and about 24,000 establishments—grocery and department stores, 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 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. 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-classifications of regions and
population-size classes, and for 28 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.




The index measures price changes from a designated
reference date—1967—which equals 100.0. An increase
of 122 percent, for example, is shown as 222.0. 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 $22.20.

Price Index: Concepts and Content Over the Years,
Report 517, revised edition (Bureau of Labor Statistics,
May 1978); The Revision of the Consumer Price Index,
by W. John Layng, reprinted from the Statistical
Reporter, February 1978, No. 78-5 (U.S. Dept. of Commerce), Revisions in the Medical Care Service Component of the Consumer Price Index, by Daniel H.
Ginsburg, Monthly Labor Review, August 1978; and
CPI Issues, Report 593, (Bureau of Labor Statistics,
February 1980).

A Note About 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.

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.
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
year—such as price movements resulting from changing
climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales.
The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay.
Unadjusted data 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 to compute the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-ll Variant of the
Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program. Annual updates replace 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data
from 1977 through 1981 were replaced at the end of
1981. The seasonal movement of all items and 35 other
aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal
movement of 45 selected components. Each year the
seasonal status of every series is reevaluted based upon
certain statistical criteria. If any of the 45 selected components changes its seasonal status, seasonal data from
1967 forward for the all-items and for any of the 35
other aggregations that have that series as a component,
are replaced.

Explanation of
Homeownership Measures
Official CPI-Uincludes five components. The weights
for property taxes, property insurance, and home
maintenance and repairs represent expenditures of all
homeowners in the base period. The weights for house
prices and contracted mortgage interest cost represent
only those homeowners who actually purchased a home
in the base period. Included are the total price paid for
the home and the total amount of interest expected to be
paid over half the stated life of the mortgage. Current
monthly prices are used for each of these components.
Experimental Measure X-l: The weight for this rental
equivalence measure is the estimate of the rental value
of all owner-occupied homes in the base period compiled from a specific question asked on the 1972-73
Consumer Expenditure Survey. This covers the entire
stock of owned homes. Prices used are the current rents




collected for the residential rent component of the CPI.
The CPI rent component is designed to represent changes
in residential rents for all types of housing units, not
just changes in rents for units that are typically owner
occupied. The CPI rent component is, therefore, not appropriate for this measure.
Experimental Measure X-2: The weight for this user
cost method includes expenditures for mortgage interest, property taxes, property insurance, maintenance
and repairs, the estimated base-period cost of homeowners' equity in their houses, and the offset to shelter
costs resulting from the estimated appreciation of house
values in the base period. This measure covers the entire
stock of owned houses. To derive the weights for mortgage interest costs and equity costs, the total value of
the housing stock in the base period was apportioned into its debt and equity components. The debt component
equals the amount owed and the equity component is
the amount owned, i.e., payments on principal plus appreciation from the time of purchase to the base period.
Each component was subsequently multiplied by the
average mortgage interest rate in the base period to
determine its cost. Prices used are current ones except
for the appreciation term which uses a 5-year moving
average of the changes in appreciation rates.
Experimental Measure X-3: The weights are the same
as in Experimental Measure X-2, except that mortgage interest costs are calculated as the total interest
amount paid out by homeowners in the base period. As
in X-l and in X-2, this measure covers the entire
homeowner population. The prices for all components
except mortgage interest costs and appreciation are current monthly prices. As in X-2, appreciation is
represented by a 5-year moving average of the changes
in house prices. However, X-3 uses past and current
mortgage interest costs in a 15-year weighted moving
average which reflects the base-period age distribution
of mortgage loans.
Experimental Measure X-4: The weights for this
outlays approach include expenditures actually made in
the base period for property taxes, property insurance,
and maintenance and repairs. The weight for the mortgage interest term is calculated in the same manner as in
X-2. However, no appreciation or equity terms are included. Not all homeowners are represented in this
measure because those who made no mortgage debt
payment in the base period are excluded. The prices
used for each of these items are current ones.
Experimental Measure X-5: The weights for this
outlays approach include, as in X-4, expenditures actually made in the base period for property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repairs. The
weight for the mortgage interest cost term is the same as
for the X-3. No appreciation or equity elements are
used. As in X-4, not all homeowners are represented in
this measure because those who made no mortgage debt
payment in the base period are excluded. Current prices
are used in X-5 except for mortgage interest which uses
the 15-year weighted moving average also used in the
X-3.
