Price Movements
January 1994

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) rose 0.3 percent before seasonal adjustment in
January to a level of 146.2 (1982-84=100). For the 12month period ended in January, the CPI-U increased 2.5
percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 0.2 percent in Janu­
ary, prior to seasonal adjustment. The January 1994
CPI-W level of 143.6 was 2.4 percent higher than the in­
dex in January 1993.

reflects a smaller rise in shelter costs.
The food and beverage index decreased 0.1 percent in
January. Grocery store food prices, which increased 0.7
percent in December, fell 0.3 percent in January. This de­
celeration was largely the result of a downturn in the index
for fruits and vegetables, which declined 2.5 percent in
January after increasing 3.2 percent in December. (Prior to
seasonal adjustment, however, fruit and vegetable prices
continued to advance, up 2.0 percent in January and 11.7
percent in the last 6 months.) In January, the indexes for
fresh fruits and fresh vegetables fell 4.2 percent and 3.9
percent, respectively. The index for processed fruits and
vegetables increased 0.7 percent. The index for meats,
poultry, fish, and eggs edged up 0.1 percent in January,
following a decline of the same magnitude in December.
Prices for beef and poultry each declined in January, but
these decreases were more than offset by increases in the
indexes for pork, other meats, fish and seafood, and eggs.
The indexes for cereal and bakery products and dairy prod­
ucts rose 0.4 and 0.9 percent, respectively. The index for
other food at home was unchanged in January. The other
two components of the food and beverage index—restau­

CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U was un­
changed in January after increasing 0.2 percent in Decem­
ber. The index for food fell 0.1 percent in January, pri­
marily as a result of smaller than seasonally anticipated
price increases for fruits and vegetables. The energy index,
which declined throughout most of 1993, continued to fall
in January, declining 0.8 percent as a result of decreases in
the indexes for both household and motor fuels. The 0.1percent advance in the CPI-U excluding food and energy
for January follows a 0.2-percent increase in December and

sample.) The index for used cars, which increased 8.0 per­
cent in 1993, fell 0.9 percent in January, its biggest drop
since a similar decrease in January 1992. The index for
public transportation declined 1.8 percent in January, as a
2.0-percent decrease in airline fares more than offset a 1.4percent rise in fares for other intercity transportation.
The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.1 percent
in January, the same as in December. (Prior to seasonal ad­
justment, the index dropped 1.7 percent.) Price discount­
ing associated with post-holiday sales of fall-winter wear
more than offset price increases for newly introduced
spring and summer merchandise.
Medical care costs rose 0.3 percent in January to 5.1 per­
cent above a year earlier. The index for medical care com­
modities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and
medical supplies—increased 0.4 percent in January. The in­
dex for medical care services rose 0.3 percent in January.
Charges for professional services and hospital and related
services increased 0.2 and 0.3 percent, respectively.
Entertainment costs increased 0.3 percent in January,
the same as in December. Increases in charges for admis­
sions and in fees for participant sports, more than offset a
decline in the index for entertainment commodities.
The index for other goods and services rose 0.1 percent
in January, following a 0.4-percent increase in December.
Increases in educational expenses—tuition and school
books and supplies—more than offset a decline in the in­
dex for tobacco and smoking products. (Prior to seasonal
adjustment, tobacco prices rose 1.0 percent.)

rant meals and alcoholic beverages—rose 0.1 and 0.2 per­
cent, respectively, in January.
The housing component rose 0.1 percent in January,
following increases of 0.2 percent in each of the preceding
4 months. A slightly smaller increase in shelter costs—up
0.2 percent in January after increasing 0.3 percent in each
of the preceding 2 months—accounted for most of the de­
celeration. Within shelter, renters’ costs were unchanged,
homeowners’ costs rose 0.2 percent, and maintenance and
repair costs increased 1.0 percent. The index for fuel and
other utilities, which declined slightly in both November
and December, fell 0.4 percent in January. The index for
household fuels decreased 0.9 percent, reflecting declines
in each of the major components. The index for fuel oil
declined for the seventh consecutive month—down 1.9
percent in January. Charges for natural gas and electricity
fell 0.4 and 1.1 percent, respectively. The index for other
utilities and public services increased 0.1 percent in Janu­
ary, as a decrease in charges for telephone services was
more than offset by increases in water and sewerage main­
tenance and refuse collection. The index for household fur­
nishings and operation increased 0.2 percent in January.
Transportation costs declined 0.2 percent in January, the
same as in December. The index for gasoline fell 0.4 per­
cent in January, continuing its nearly year-long decline,
which was interrupted only by the 4.3-percent increase in
October associated with the Federal excise tax increase of
4.3 cents per gallon. As of January, the gasoline index was
6.5 percent lower than a year earlier and 19.7 percent be­
low its peak level of December 1990. Automobile purchase
costs rose slightly in January. The index for new cars rose
0.1 percent, while automobile finance charges fell 0.1 per­
cent. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, new car prices in­
creased 0.4 percent. As of January, the proportion of 1994
models in the index was about 80 percent of the new car

Seasonal adjustment is the process by which the typical
seasonal movement of prices for goods or services in a Con­
sumer Price Index series is quantified and factored out of
the series. This process permits analysis of nonseasonal price
movements. CPI series use the X-11-ARIMA program de­
veloped by Statistics Canada to calculate factors for sea­
sonal adjustment of both historical and current series. Some
CPI series are adjusted using intervention analysis in con­
junction with X-11-ARIMA seasonal adjustment.
Intervention analysis is a technique used to produce
better seasonal adjustment. The technique allows nonsea­
sonal economic phenomena such as level shifts to be fac­
tored out of the indexes before adjustment. A level shift is
a change (or shift) in the price level of a CPI series occur­
ring over 1 or several months caused by events such as a
sales tax increase or oil embargo. The result is an adjust­
ment based on a representation of the series with the sea­
sonal pattern emphasized. Intervention analysis also al­
lows 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 the seasonal adjustment is done. Prior ad­
justment factors from the intervention analysis are cal­
culated and applied using the prior-adjustment option of
X-11-ARIMA. For a more comprehensive discussion of in­
tervention analysis, please see “Improvements in CPI Pro­
cedures” in the March 1990 issue of the CPI Detailed
Report.
In January 1994, the series listed below were adjusted
using intervention analysis before X-11-ARIMA process­
ing. Most of these series were examined using an 8-year
span from 1986-93. The motor vehicle series (*), however,
were examined using a 7-year span from 1987-93.




For each series that was adjusted using intervention
analysis prior to X-11-ARIMA processing, a complete list
of level shifts is provided in the table below, along with the
identified causes for each shift. Outliers, or extreme values
for a particular month, are also included in the list.

Improvements to CPI
Procedures

Beginning with the annual revision of seasonal adjust­
ment in February 1994, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is
changing two seasonal adjustment procedures:*
1) An index series may be seasonally adjusted the first
year that it meets the necessary statistical criteria rather
than having to wait 3 years, and,
2) An index series may be seasonally adjusted even
though it fails to meet the statistical criteria on its own if
the next higher level index, which it is a component of,
does meet that criteria.

Currently, 181 separate index series are seasonally ad­
justed for the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), U.S.
city average. Some of these series (along with other
nonadjusted series) are used in aggregating, or summing,
to calculate the seasonally-adjusted all items index. The
other seasonally-adjusted indexes, which are calculated
independently, are not aggregated into higher-level seasonally-adjusted indexes.
An example illustrating the difference can be seen with
the indexes under the major group, entertainment. Enter­
tainment commodities and entertainment services are both
seasonally adjusted and are aggregated together to form
the (dependent) seasonally-adjusted entertainment index.
Within entertainment services, however, is the index, fees
for lessons or instructions, which is seasonally adjusted in­
dependently and is not used to aggregate higher-level in­
dexes such as entertainment or all items.
Following in Table SA2 are the effects of this revision
of seasonal factors on 1-month percent changes for the all
items CPI-U during 1993. The total difference in the 1month percent changes from the published 1993 figures to
the revised 1994 figures is broken into the data effect and
the effect of the new procedures. The data effect results
from adding new seasonal data from 1993, dropping 1985
seasonal data from the 8-year adjustment span, and mak­
ing seasonal status decisions based on the old procedures.
The effect of the new procedures is the difference between
the total difference and the difference due to the data ef­
fect. (Approximately half of the change was due to each
effect, the data effect and the new procedures.) Please see
charts 5 and 6 for original and revised 1993 monthly
changes.
For further information, write to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and Price Indexes,
2 Massachusetts Avenue NE., Room 3615, Washington,
DC 20212-0001, or call Claire McAnaw Gallagher at
(202) 606-6968.

These procedural changes are intended to improve the
quality of seasonal adjustment of higher-level indexes such
as all items or all items less food and energy by reducing
their residual seasonality. Residual seasonality is the sea­
sonal pattern left after seasonal adjustment is done. Since
the new procedures eased some requirements for seasonal
adjustment, more individual indexes are seasonally ad­
justed than in the past. Having more adjusted indexes in
the aggregation provides better seasonal adjustment for
higher-level indexes and less residual seasonality. Causes
of residual seasonality include irregular movements
present in the seasonally-adjusted data and the combina­
tion of statistically insignificant seasonal patterns, which
when combined, reinforce each other, becoming signifi­
cant in the aggregate index.
To calculate the all items seasonally-adjusted index, 60
different index series are aggregated together. Not all of
these series are adjusted themselves. As of February 1994,
50 of these series are themselves seasonally adjusted, up
from just 34 of 60 during 1993. See table SA1 for a listing
of the 60 index series and their seasonal status in 1993 and
1994.
Indexes which are seasonally adjusted through aggre­
gation are said to be dependently seasonally adjusted,
while index series which get their factors directly from X11-ARIMA, are independently adjusted. If component in­
dexes of an aggregate index are seasonally adjusted, that
aggregate index will be dependently adjusted.




* NOTE: These changes only affect the 60 index series which are compo­
nents of the all items seasonal adjustment aggregation.

Response Rates for the Consumer
Price indexes, 1993

This article and the accompanying tables update articles
previously published on response rates in the CPI Detailed
Report for March 1991, January 1992, and January 1993.
In an effort to measure the outcome of data collection
for the CPI, BLS calculates response rates. Response rates
measure the proportion of completed surveys to those is­
sued and help measure the accuracy of the CPI. 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 it should provide information 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 1993 are presented in tables R-l
through R-17. Table R-l shows response rates for all data
included in the CPI-U, U.S. city average, by major group,
for all of 1993. Tables R-2 through R-l6 show rates for
current data collection in selected areas for which indexes
are published monthly and bimonthly. Table R-17 shows
the response rates at initiation for those areas which un­
derwent sample rotation in 1993.
The response rates in tables R-l through R -l6 are sepa­
rated into commodities and services, and the shelter por­
tion of housing. Commodities and services are further bro­
ken down into outlets and quotes. An “outlet” is a generic
term that designates the place where prices are collected.
A “quote” is a specific item to be priced in a specific outlet.
There may be from 1 to more than 50 quotes priced in each
outlet.
In table R-l, it is important to note the relatively low




percentages of quotes reported, collected and used in esti­
mation for apparel and upkeep. Low rates for these items
can be partially attributed to the design of the apparel
sample. Because seasonal apparel items commonly are 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
are not collected.
The shelter section in tables R-l through R-l6 includes
categories for owners, renters, and those for whom the ten­
ure 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 shelter
are separated into three categories. If useable information
is obtained, the unit is designated data reported. If the as­
signed unit is located but is unoccupied, the unit is desig­
nated 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. The number of owner
units eligible for data collection in 1993 was lower than in
previous years since BLS changed from annual pricing of
owner units to biannual pricing in July 1992.
Data for initiation (table R-17) are for those areas which
underwent sample rotation in 1992. Approximately onefifth of the areas, called primary sampling units, are ro­
tated each year. The response rate data for initiation reflect
the rate of success in attempting to price the new desig­
nated sample for the first time. These data are unique in
that the outlets and quotes are only counted once, as op­
posed to the repeated (monthly or bimonthly) pricing that
is reflected in tables R-l through R-l6.
For additional information on response rates, write to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer
Prices and Price Indexes, Room 3615, 2 Massachusetts
Avenue, NE., Washington, DC 20212-0001, or call Todd
Wilson at (202) 606-7003.

Note: For the shelter component, the number of owner units used in estimation may be higher than the number listed
under "Data reported." The use of owner units in estimation is based on matching renter data, not on their own collection
status. This applies to both U.S. city average data as well as metropolitan area data.

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.
