Price Movements
July 1984
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) increased 0.3 percent before seasonal adjustment in July, to a level of 311.7 (1967 = 100). For the
12-month period ended in July, the CPI-U increased
4.1 percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.4 percent in July,
prior to seasonal adjustment. The July level of 307.5
(1967=100) was 3.1 percent higher than the index in
July 1983. 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 0.3 percent in July, following increases of 0.2 percent in both May and June. Moderate
increases in July for most major categories of consumer
spending were partially offset by a decline in transportation costs. The housing component, primarily reflecting increases in the cost of shelter, natural gas, and
electricity, accounted for about two-thirds of the advance in the overall CPI. On the other hand, the transportation component declined for the second consecutive month, largely as a result of lower prices for gasoline and used cars.
The food and beverage component rose 0.3 percent
in July. Grocery store food prices advanced 0.2 per-
cent in July, following a 0.1 percent increase in June
and declines in each of the 3 months prior. The index
for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs continued to decline—down 0.3 percent—but by less than in recent
months. Beef prices have declined for 5 consecutive
months and, despite sharp increases in January and February, are lower now than at the beginning of the year.
Egg prices declined sharply in July for the third consecutive month. Pork prices declined slightly after seasonal adjustment. Prices for poultry and fish both increased 0.8 percent in July. 7'he index for fruits and
vegetables increased 0.6 percent in July, following a
1.8 percent jump in June. Fresh fruit prices, which increased sharply in June, declined in July, following seasonal adjustment. On the other hand, potato prices rose
sharply in July as a result of a supply shortage caused
by wet weather. Other major grocery store food groups
in July recorded increases similar to those in June. The
other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—increased 0.4 and 0.3 percent, respectively, in July.
The July advance of 0.5 percent in the housing component follows increases of 0.2 percent in both May
and June. Shelter costs rose 0.7 percent, with renters'
costs advancing 0.6 percent; homeowners' costs, 0.7
percent; and maintenance and repair costs, 0.4 percent.
The index for fuel and utilities rose 0.8 percent. Sharp
increases in charges for electricity—up 1.8 percent—and
natural gas—up 1.2 percent—were partially offset by a
1.2 percent decline in fuel oil prices. The cost of tele-

phone services, which rose substantially earlier this year,
advanced 0.5 percent in July as sharp increases in local
and intrastate charges were partially offset by a further
large decrease in interstate toll calls. Since December,
local charges and intrastate long distance charges have
increased 14.1 and 5.2 percent, respectively, while interstate rates have declined 4.3 percent. The index for
household furnishings and operations, which was unchanged in June, declined 0.2 percent in July.
The transportation component declined 0.3 percent
in July, following a 0.2 percent decrease in June. Gasoline prices dropped sharply for the second consecutive
month—down 1.8 percent in July—and are now 14.7
percent below their peak level of March 1981. Used
car prices declined 0.7 percent, following a slight increase in June and sharp advances in each of the first
5 months of 1984. Among other automobile expenses,
tire prices declined 1.4 percent in July and are now 12.0
percent below their peak level in June 1982. On the
other hand, new car prices, which had increased a total of 0.8 percent in the first 6 months of 1984, advanced
0.5 percent in July as limited supplies resulted in lower
dealer concessions than usual at this time of year. Automobile finance charges—up 1.3 percent—rose sharply
for the fourth consecutive month. The index for public
transportation rose 1.1 percent, reflecting sharp increases in airline and intercity bus fares.
The medical care component rose 0.6 percent in July,
following increases of 0.5 percent in each of the preceding 4 months. The index for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and
medical supplies—advanced 0.8 percent. The cost of
medical care services rose 0.5 percent, with hospital
rooms and professional services up 1.2 and 0.3 percent,
respectively.
The index for apparel and upkeep, which had declined slightly during the first 6 months of 1984, increased 0.5 percent in July. Price reductions for July
sales were, on average, less than during recent years.

the same as in June. The other goods and services component rose 0.9 percent in July, primarily due to a 1.8
percent increase in cigarette prices.
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 rose 0.4 percent
in July. The 0.4 percent rise in the CPI-W compares
with an increase of 0.3 percent in the CPI-U. In the
CPI-U, the homeowners' cost index—which uses a
rental equivalence approach—rose 0.7 percent in July.
Homeownership in the CPI-W, which is based on house
prices, mortgage interest rates, property taxes, property
insurance, and maintenance and repair costs, rose 1.1
percent in July, primarily due to a sharp increase in
house prices.
Changes in Frequency of Publication for Local
Area CPI's to Begin in 1987
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will improve the sample of urban areas in which it gathers prices for monthly
preparation of the Consumer Price Index beginning in
1987. At the same time, the Bureau will publish a number of local area CPFs less frequently.
The changes in publication frequency arise from the
requirement to allocate the sample to reflect population
shifts in the 1980 Census so as to provide the most accurate national CPI possible with the funds available.
As a result, some local areas will no longer have samples sufficient to permit more frequent publication.
In addition to the national index for all cities, the
Bureau now publishes indexes for 28 urban areas. In
1987, it will continue to publish indexes for all but one
of these areas—Northeast Pennsylvania (ScrantonWikes-Barre).
Of the remaining 27 published urban areas, 13 will
have a reduction in frequency beginning in 1987. The
index for Detroit, currently published monthly, will be
published every other month. Twelve areas now pub-
der, CO; Honolulu, HI; Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA;
San Diego, CA; and Seattle-Tacoma, WA. Also, the
Cleveland-Akron-Lorain, OH, indexes will be published
in even-numbered rather then odd-numbered months.

Reconciling Two Measures
of Consumer Price Change:
Second Quarter 1984
This article presents an analysis of the differences between two major measures of price change for consumption goods and services—the Consumer Price Index
(CPI-U) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and
the Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption
Expenditures (PCE) published by the Bureau of
Economic Analysis of the Department of Commerce.
More information on the technique of reconciliation appears in the September 1981 Monthly Labor Review.^
The PCE is a byproduct of the National Income and
Product Accounts and is based largely on detailed price
series from the CPI-U. While most of the components of
both measures are the same, the aggregate indexes have
shown different rates of inflation over the years. The
divergence in these two measures can be attributed
primarily to three factors: Weighting differences; differences in the treatment of owner-occupied housing until January 1983; and the use of additional price data in
the PCE.
Cumulative differences
The reconciliation begins with an analysis of
cumulative differences in the two measures from the
base period (1972= 100) to the second quarter of 1984.
(See table C.) Because the PCE uses a moving, or
current-period, weight and the CPI uses a fixed weight,
the time span chosen for the comparison must begin
with the base period. Comparisons cannot be made between two nonbase periods, as can be done with a fixedweight index.2
The total cumulative percent difference between the
CPI-U and the PCE over the period is shown in table C,
derived by subtracting the PCE from the CPI-U. By the
end of the second quarter of 1984, the difference in
measured inflation had grown to 28.0 percentage
points. Thus, while the CPI-U showed a 147.1 percent increase from 1972 to the second quarter of 1984, the PCE
showed only a 119.1 percent rise.
Weight differences, CPI weights are derived from a consumer expenditure survey. They refer to expenditures by
1
Jack E. Triplett, "Reconciling the CPI and PCE Deflator," Monthly Labor
Review, Sept. 1982, pp. 3-15. Subsequent reconcilations appeared in the
January, May, July, and October 1982 issues of the Review, and in the February
1983 Review.

Triplett, pp. 12-13.
a population of either urban wage and clerical workers
(CPI-W) or all urban consumers (CPI-U and all five of the
experimental CPI indexes). The PCE adds to the expenditures of the CPI-U'S urban consumer, expenditures by
rural households and by nonprofit organizations. In addition, its weights are drawn from the National Income
and Product Accounts.
To determine the effect of using current (comparison
period) weights as opposed to 1972 fixed (base period)
weights, a PCE measure which used 1972 weights was
compared with the current-weighted PCE. The same procedures, with the exception of the weight period, were
used for both the CPI-U and the PCE. By the second
quarter of 1984, use of a fixed weight had accounted for
10.9 percentage points of the total 28.0 percentage point
difference. (See lines 4-6 of table C.)
Consistent with expectations, as the period between
the weights increases, the effect of reweighting the index
becomes greater. A steady increase in the effects of different weighting procedures brought the cumulative difference due to weighting to 8.8 percentage points in
1983 from 1.9 percentage points in 1977. Thus, by 1983,
approximately one-third of the total cumulative difference between the CPIU and PCE could be attributed to
the choice of using fixed or current-period weights.
Housing differences. Effective with the release of the
January 1983 CPI-U, the BLS changed its method of
measuring shelter costs for homeowners, discontinuing
its "assets" approach in favor of a "flow-of-service"
approach. At the same time, it enhanced its rental
equivalence measure. The asset approach directly priced
home purchase, mortgage interest costs, property taxes
and insurance, and home maintenance and repair costs.
The flow-of-service measure estimated the implicit rent
of owner-occupied homes. The different treatment of
owner-occupied housing in the two measures accounted
for about 60 percent of the difference between the CPI-U
and the PCE before 1983.
When the enhanced rental equivalence measure was
introduced into the CPI-U in January 1983, it also was
adopted for use in the PCE. Before 1983, BLS produced
an experimental CPI (CPi-u,x-i) which incorporated a
rental equivalence measure using the CPI-U rent index.
The pre-1983 PCE also used a rental equivalence ap-

cumulated between the CPI-U and CPI-U,X-I. Beginning
in 1983, with both the CPI-U and PCE using rental
equivalence, housing methodology ceased to be a factor
in the CPI-U/PCE reconciliation. Rather than disappear
completely, however, the cumulative housing effect will
remain as a constant total cumulative difference into
1983 and beyond—15.3 percentage points for annual
average comparisons and 14.1 percentage points for
quarter average comparisons. This cumulative effect
then simply has to be subtracted out of the total percentage point difference for any subsequent period.
Although in the second quarter of 1984 the total difference between the CPI-U and PCE was 28.0 percentage
points, 14.1 points were attributable to differences in
measuring homeowners' costs from 1972 through 1982.
Other differences. After removing this residual housing
effect, and the 10.9 points for weighting differences, 3.0
points are left by the second quarter of 1984 to be accounted for by all other effects, which consist primarily
of different methods of seasonal adjustment and some
additional data sources in the PCE. The result of "all
other" effects can be determined by comparing the
1972-weight PCE with the CPI-U using rental equivalence
(CPI-U, x-i through 1982, and the regular CPI-U beginn-

proach based on the CPI-U rent index.
The effect of owner-occupied housing treatment can
be seen by comparing the CPI-U,X-I to the CPI-U (lines 7
through 9 of table C). The CPI-U and CPI-U,X-I, differ
only in their treatment of housing. At the end of 1982,
the last period in which the CPI-U used the asset approach, a 15.3 percentage point difference had ac-

an additional constant cumulative housing effect—15.3 percent for annual
data. 14.1 percent for quarterly data.
Period-to-period differences
CPI-U/PCE reconciliation on a year-to-year and
quarter-to-quarter basis is shown in table D. As mentioned earlier, this comparison cannot be made using
the current weight PCE. An alternative "chain-weight"
PCE, published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis,
permits comparisons between any two periods. 3
Total year-to-year and quarter-to-quarter differences
are shown on line 3 of table D. Annual differences between the CPI-U and the PCE reached 2.8 percent in 1980
before narrowing and reversing direction in early 1983.
By the third quarter of 1983, the CPI-U again showed a
slightly higher rate of increase. As in the case of the
cumulative comparisons, the shift of the CPi-u to a rental equivalence measure has removed housing as a factor
affecting period-to-period differences in the two
measures.
Because the asset approach was used during 1982, the
housing factor affects the change between the fourth
quarter of 1982 and the first quarter of 1983 as well as
comparisons of the 1982 and 1983 annual averages. To
determine the extent of this effect, a reconstructed 1983
CPI-U,x-i was calculated using monthly changes in the
1983 CPI-U (with rental equivalence) to move the
December 1982 CPI-U,X-I forward through the corresponding months.
A 1983 annual average CPIU,X-I and first quarter
1983 average were calculated from the monthly data to
estimate the annual and first quarter changes that would
have occurred in an index using rental equivalence in
both 1982 and 1983. A comparison of the official
CPI-U'S for 1982 and 1983 would mix the asset and flow:» Triplet!, pp. 7-9.

of-services approaches to owner-occupied housing.
First-quarter to second-quarter 1983 and subsequent
changes are completely free of housing methodology
complications.
"Other effects," still computed by comparing the
CPI-U to the 1972-weight PCE, contributed only a small
amount to the total difference between the two
measures through the second and third quarter of 1983.
Only in the fourth quarter of 1983 did "other effects"
begin to make a substantial contribution to the total difference. (See table D, line 12.)
The weighting effects have been small in each of the
last three quarters of 1983 and the first two quarters of
1984. Thus, for the second quarter of 1984, the latest
period for which quarter-to-quarter analysis is
available, the PCE and CPI-U differed by only 0.5
percentage point at an annual rate.

exclusive of farms. L.A.-Long Beach, Anaheim, Calif, is a combination of
two SMSA's, and N.Y., N.Y.-Northeastem 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.
3
Regions are defined as the four Census regions.
The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have
urban population as defined:
A-1 More than 4,000,000.

Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes
A-1 and A-2.
R
Revised.
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.

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.

Technical Notes
dexes 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.
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 All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total nonirfstitutional
civilian population; and (2) a revised CPI for Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPl-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 in-
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 "ma ket 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,

May 1978); "The Revision Of the Consumer Price Ind e x / ' 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.

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.
Homeownership Changes
Effective with release of the index for January 1983,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics changed the way
homeowner costs are measured in the C P I U to rental
equivalence. The rental equivalence approach calculates
homeowner costs of the shelter based on the implicit
rent owners would have to pay to rent the homes they
own. The old method calculated homeowner costs as
home purchase, mortgage interest cost, property taxes,
property insurance, and maintenance and repair.
As previously announced, the CPIW will be changed
to rental equivalence effective with data for January
1985. The CPI experimental measures, known as the
CPI-U, X-l through C P I U , X-5 are no longer being
published.
The new homeowners' cost component was introduced into the CPI-U in such a manner than the indexes using the old and new methodologies were equal in the socalled link month—December 1982. A similar technique
will be employed for the CPIW in December 1984. This
technical procedure has been used in previous revisions
of the CPI. In accordance with historical practice, the
BLS made available calculations for the CPi-u from
January to June 1983 based on the old method of
homeownership. A 6-month overlap period for the
CPi-w will also be made available to users; it will run
from January to June 1985. For further details see

Consumer Price Index to Rental Equivalence," CPI

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 also are 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-11-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 1979 through 1983 were
replaced at the end of 1983. The seasonal movement of
all items and 44 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 51 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is
reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any
of the 51 components change their seasonal adjustment
status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used for the
last five years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will
be used before that period. If any of the 51 components
change their status from not seasonally adjusted to seasonally adjusted, seasonally adjusted data will be used
for the last five years, but not seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period.
