Price Movements
January 1992
the energy index, the first since July, reflected a sharp drop
in prices for petroleum-based energy products. Excluding
food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent in January
after increasing 0.2 percent in December.
The index for food and beverages decreased 0.4 percent
in January, following seasonal adjustment. Grocery store
food prices, which rose 0.4 percent in December, fell 0.7
percent in January. Declines in the indexes for fruits and
vegetables and for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs—down
4.1 and 1.0 percent, respectively—more than offset
relatively large increases in the other three major grocery
store food groups. Prices for fresh fruits and vegetables,
which generally increase sharply in January, rose only 0.6
percent, resulting in a 7.0-percent seasonally adjusted
decline. Beef and pork prices continued to fall—down 0.4
and 0.8 percent, respectively—and, coupled with a
12.4-percent drop in egg prices, more than offset an in
crease in poultry prices. However, the 1.0-percent increase
in the index for cereal and bakery products was the largest
advance in this component in 12 months. The indexes for
dairy products and other food at home each increased 0.6
percent in January. The other two components of the food
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) rose 0.1 percent before seasonal adjustment in
January to a level of 138.1 (1982-84=100). For the 12month period ended in January, the CPI-U increased 2.6
percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also rose 0.1 percent in
January prior to seasonal adjustment. The January 1992
CPI-W level of 136.0 was 2.4 percent higher than the index
in January 1991.
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.1 per
cent in January, following increases of 0.4 percent in
November and 0.2 percent in December. During the past 3
months, the CPI-U has advanced at a 2.6-percent season
ally adjusted annual rate. Both the food and energy in
dexes registered declines in January—down 0.4 and 1.5
percent, respectively. A seasonally adjusted decline in
prices for fresh fruits and vegetables was principally re
sponsible for the drop in the food index. The decrease in

by a 2.4-percent drop in automobile finance charges.
Automobile finance charges have fallen 9.5 percent in the
past 12 months. Partially offsetting these declines were in
creases in the indexes for automobile insurance and public
transportation. Automobile insurance costs rose 0.7 per
cent in January and were 8.3 percent above their level of a
year ago. Public transportation costs, reflecting a sharp in
crease in intracity public transportation charges, in
creased 1.1 percent in January and have risen 4.6 percent
since October 1991.
The index for apparel and upkeep, which fell 1.1 percent
in December, rose 0.3 percent in January after seasonal ad
justment. Jewelry prices rose 4.7 percent in January,
following an 8.2-percent decline in December, and
accounted for virtually all of the apparel increase. The
January price declines for most clothing items were about
normal. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, the index for ap
parel and upkeep declined 1.3 percent.)
Medical care prices rose 0.7 percent in January, the
same as in December, bringing the change from a year ago
to 7.8 percent. The index for medical care commodities—
prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical
supplies—increased 0.8 percent. The medical care services
index advanced 0.7 percent, with the cost of professional
and hospital and related services up 0.4 percent and 0.8
percent, respectively.
The entertainment index rose 0.1 percent in January,
following declines in each of the preceding 2 months. This
resulted in part from a 0.5-percent advance in the index for
reading material—newspaper, magazines, periodical, and
books.
and beverage index, restaurant meals and alcoholic
beverages, rose 0.1 and 0.4 percent, respectively.
The housing index rose 0.2 percent in January, follow
ing increases of 0.3 percent in each of the preceding 4
months. A decline in the index for fuels and other utilities
was responsible for the moderation, more than offsetting a
larger increase in shelter costs and an upturn in the index
for household furnishings and operations. Fuel oil prices
declined for the second consecutive month—down 5.5
percent in January—and are now 31.3 percent lower thantheir peak level of October 1990. The indexes for natural
gas and electricity also decreased in January, following
seasonal adjustment—down 0.1 and 0.6 percent, re
spectively. Shelter costs rose 0.5 percent in January,
following increases of 0.3 percent in each of the last 4
months of 1991. Within shelter, renters’ and homeowners’
costs rose 0.7 and 0.3 percent, respectively, while mainte
nance and repair costs declined 0.1 percent. The large in
crease in renters’ costs reflects a 2.3-percent rise in the in
dex for lodging while out of town. Residential rents rose
0.3 percent. The index for household furnishings and oper
ations increased 0.3 percent in January after declining 0.2
percent in December.
The transportation component fell 0.3 percent in
January, largely as a result of a decline in the index for
motor fuels. Gasoline prices fell 1.9 percent and, as of
January, were 18.1 percent lower than their peak level of
November 1990. Also contributing to the decrease in the
transportation component was a decline in automobile
purchase costs. Used car prices fell 1.1 percent and a
0.1-percent increase in new car prices was more than offset

The other goods and services index rose 0.3 percent in
January, its smallest advance since September 1990. In
creases in selected personal expenses (legal service fees and
funeral expenses) more than offset a 0.7-percent decline in
prices for tobacco and smoking products.

CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
(CPI-W)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers was unchanged in
January.
Response Rates for the
Consumer Price Index
In an effort to measure the outcome of data collection
for the Consumer Price Index (CPI), BLS calculates
response rates for the CPI. Response rates measure the
proportion of completed surveys to those issued. Response
rates help measure CPI accuracy. Failure of a data unit to
respond at either the data collection stage or estimation
stage represents a loss of statistical information which
dilutes the accuracy of the sample. BLS publishes response
rates annually to assist the data user in judging the
accuracy of CPI data.
BLS calculates response rates for the CPI-U at the data
collection phase for initiation and pricing, and at the data
estimation phase for pricing. The response rate at the data
collection phase is the number of responding sample units
divided by the number of eligible sample units. A sample
unit is eligible if it belongs to the defined target population
and if responses should be collected from the unit for one
or more items. The response rate at estimation is defined
as the number of sample units used in estimation divided
by the number of eligible sample units.
Response rates for 1991 are presented in tables R1-R17.
Table R1 shows response rates for all data included in the
CPI for All Urban Consumers, U.S. city average by major
group, for all of 1991. Tables R2-R16 show rates for
current data collection in selected areas for which indexes
are published monthly and bimonthly. Table R17 shows
the response rates for initiation for those areas which
underwent sample rotation in 1991.
The response rates in tables R1-R16 are separated into
commodities and services, and housing (shelter).
Commodities and services are further broken down into
outlets and quotes. An “outlet” is a generic term that des
ignates the place where prices are collected. A “quote” is a
specific item to be priced from a specific outlet. There may
be from 1 to more than 50 quotes priced per outlet.
In table R l, it is important to note the relatively low per
4
centages of quotes reported collected and used in estima
tion for apparel and upkeep. Low rates for these items can
be partially attributed to the design of the apparel sample.
Because apparel items are commonly in stores only during
certain times of the year, most of the apparel sample is
doubled, with each half of the sample designated for
pricing during part of the year. Thus, at any particular
time of the year a large number of apparel quotes, although
eligible, are designated out of season and prices are not
collected.
The housing (shelter) section in tables R1-R16 includes
categories for owners, renters, and those for whom the
tenure status is unknown. A unit qualifies as an owner or
renter unit if its tenure status is known either by previous
knowledge or is collected in the current interview period.
The response rates at the data collection phase for housing
(shelter) are separated into three categories. If useable in
formation is obtained, the unit is designated data reported.
If the assigned unit is located but is unoccupied, the unit is
designated found vacant. In instances where the unit is
eligible but no data are available (for example, refusals or
no one at home) the unit is designated other.
Data for initiation (table R17) are for those areas which
underwent sample rotation in 1991. Approximately onefifth of the pricing areas, called primary sampling units,
are rotated each year. The response rate data for initiation
reflect the rate of success in attempting to price the new
designated sample for the first time. These data are unique
in that the outlets and quotes are only counted once, as
opposed to the repeated (monthly or bimonthly) pricing
that is reflected in tables R1-R16.
For additional information on response rates, write to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer
Prices and Price Indexes, Room 3216 BC, Washington,
DC 20212, or call James Longacre at (202) 272-2385.

Intervention Analysis
in Seasonal Adjustment
Seasonal adjustment is the process by which the seasonal
movement of prices-for goods or services in a Consumer
Price Index series is quantified and then factored out of the
series to permit analysis of nonseasonal price movements.
In most cases, the X-11-ARIMA program developed by
Statistics Canada is used to calculate factors for seasonal
adjustment of both historical and current series. Some
series are adjusted using intervention analysis in conjunc
tion with either X-11-ARIMA seasonal adjustment or
state space model-based seasonal adjustment (see below).
Intervention analysis is a technique which can be used
to produce a better seasonal adjustment. The technique
allows nonseasonal economic phenomena such as level
shifts to be factored out of the indexes before adjustment.
The result is an adjustment based on a representation of
the series with the seasonal pattern emphasized. Interven
tion analysis also allows for seasonal shifts to be accounted
for, resulting in a better seasonal adjustment in the periods
before and after the shift occurred.
When intervention analysis is used in conjunction with
X-11-ARIMA seasonal adjustment, the interventions are
modeled before seasonal adjustment. Prior-adjustment
factors are calculated and then applied using the prior-adjustment option of X-l 1-ARIMA. For a more comprehen
sive discussion of intervention analysis, please see “Im
provements in CPI Procedures,” CPI Detailed Report,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 1990.
In January 1992, the series listed below were adjusted
using intervention analysis before X-l 1-ARIMA process
ing. All series were examined using an 8-year span,
1984-1991, with the exception of women’s dresses and the
new car size classes, which were examined using a 5-year
span.

Alcoholic beverages at home1
Beer and ale at home1
Fuel oil

Women’s coats and jackets
Women’s dresses
Women’s separates and sportswear

For each series that was adjusted using intervention
analysis in conjunction with X-l 1-ARIMA, a complete
list of level shifts is provided in the table below, along with
the identified causes for each shift. Outliers for each series
are included in the table.
An alternative to the intervention-adjusted X ll-A R IMA procedure is the state space model-based seasonal ad
justment method. This method adjusts simultaneously for
interventions and seasonal effects, rather than sequentially
as in the X-l 1-ARIMA methodology, using structural
statistical models with explanatory variables. Recent BLS
research on price data series including women’s apparel
demonstrates that, based on a number of statistical
criteria, this method is a promising alternative to
X-l 1-ARIMA and its intervention enhancements,
whether or not structural shocks or interventions are
present in the unadjusted series.2
The state space structural model-based method of sea
sonal adjustment was introduced this year for the adjust
ment of January 1991-December 1991 indexes for three
women’s apparel series. Dresses, separates and sport
swear, and suits were the series affected by a structural
change in the Consumer Price Index methodology which
allowed earlier introduction of seasonal clothing. The
change took place early in 1990, and affected the 1991 in1 This series was seasonally adjusted using intervention analysis in
conjunction with X-l 1-ARIMA for the first time this year.

Ajustment of the Consumer Price Index and Other BLS Indexes: Some
Empirical Results,” Proceeding of the Business and Economics Section,

dexes. For a more comprehensive discussion of the meth
odology change, see “Improvements in CPI Procedures,”
CPI Detailed Report, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May
1990. The resulting seasonal adjustment more accurately
reflects the effects of the price methodology change on
the indexes, and therefore results in more accurate seasonal
seasonal adjustment factors.3

1990 using X-11-ARIMA. The seasonally adjusted indexes for January
1991-December 1991 were calculated using a state space model-based
approach with interventions to model the methodology-induced seasonal
shift.
1Leaded regular gasoline was last published in April 1991. The seasonal
factors previously published are the final seasonal factors for this series.
2 This series was prior-adjusted using intervention analysis. Revised
seasonally adjusted indexes were computed for January 1987-December

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.

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.
