Price Movements
June 1989

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
rose 0.2 percent before seasonal adjustment in June to a level
of 124.1 (1982-84=100). For the 12-month period ended
in June, the CPI-U increased 5.2 percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also rose 0.2 percent in June prior
to seasonal adjustment. The June 1989 CPl-w level of 122.8
was 5.2 percent higher than the index in June 1988.
CPI for All Urban Consumer (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent
in June. This compares with an average monthly increase
of 0.5 percent in the first 5 months of 1989. Downturns in
the indexes for energy and apparel, coupled with a smaller
increase in food prices, were responsible for the moderation
in the overall CPI-U between May and June.
During the first 6 months of 1989, the CPi-u increased at
a 5.9-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR), the
largest December-to-June advance since 1982, when the CPI
rose at a 6.3-percent annual rate. The 5.9-percent rate during
the first half of 1989 compares with an annual increase of
4.4 percent in 1988. The sharp rise in petroleum-based
energy prices in 1989—up at a 40.3-percent rate—was
primarily responsible for the acceleration. The food index,
which last year recorded its largest increase since 1980,
advanced at an even more rapid pace in thefirsthalf of 1989.
Jhe CPI excluding food and energy—up at a 4.5-percent rate
in 1989—continued to advance at about the same annual rate

as in 1988. The annual rates for selected groups during the
last several years and the first 6 months of 1989 are shown
below.
The food and beverage index rose 0.2 percent in June.
Grocery store food prices, which increased 0.8 percent in
May, rose 0.2 percent in June. The moderation this month
was largely due to a sharp turnaround in the index for fruits
and vegetables, which declined 1.0 percent in June after advancing 3.2 percent in May. The index for dairy productsdown 0.2 percent—declined for the second consecutive
month. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs advanced
0.4 percent in June, its smallest increase since February. Beef

and pork prices declined 0.3 and 0.4 percent, respectively.
Poultry prices, however, continued to increase sharply, up
2.0 percent in June. The other two components of the food
and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic
beverages—both increased 0.3 percent.
The housing index increased 0.2 percent in June following
a 0.4-percent rise in May. A decline in the index for
household fuels and other utilities was responsible for the
moderation in June. Fuel oil prices dropped 1.9 percent and
charges for electricity were down 1.3 percent following
seasonal adjustment. The index for natural gas was
unchanged. Within the other utilities and public services
component—up 0.1 percent—a small decline in the index for
telephone services was more than offset by large increases
in charges for cable television and garbage and trash
collection. Shelter costs, which increased 0.5 percent in May,
rose 0.4 percent in June. Within shelter, renters' costs rose
0.6 percent; homeowners' costs, 0.3 percent; and
maintenance and repair costs, 0.8 percent. The index for
household furnishings and operations increased 0.3 percent
in June.
The transportation component, which advanced sharply in
the first 5 months of 1989, declined 0.2 percent in June
largely due to a downturn in the index for motor fuels.
Gasoline prices declined 1.0 percent in June after advancing
21.2 percent in thefirst5 months of 1989. Also contributing
to the June transportation decrease was a decline in
automobile purchase costs. The index for new vehicles
declined 0.3 percent and automobile finance charges dropped
0.1 percent. Used car prices were unchanged. The index for
public transportation rose 0.5 percent in June, reflecting

increases in airline fares and other intercity transportation costs.
The index for apparel and upkeep declined 1.1 percent in
June, after advancing 2.3 percent in the first 5 months of
1989. Larger than usual end-of-season price reductions,
particularly for women's clothing, were responsible for the
June decline.
The medical care component rose 0.7 percent in June and
has advanced 7.5 percent during the past 12 months. The
indexes for medical care commodities—prescription drugs,
nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—and medical
care services also increased 0.7 percent. Within medical care
services, the cost of professional services rose 0.5 percent
and hospital and related services, 1.3 percent.
Entertainment costs advanced 0.6 percent in June following
a 0.1-percent rise in May. Charges for entertainment
services—in particular, a 1.9-percent increase in admissions
to movies, theaters, concerts, operas, other musicial events,
and sporting events—accounted for over four-fifths of the
June entertainment increase.
The index for other goods and services rose 0.8 percent
in June. Increases in prices for tobacco products accounted
for about three-fifths of the June increase in this component.
The index for tobacco products has advanced 9.5 percent
in the first 6 months of 1989.

CPl for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
(CPI-W)

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPl for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers also rose 0.2 percent in June.

Reconciling Two Measures
of Consumer Price Change:
First Quarter 1989

This article continues the analysis of differences between
two price measures—the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U)
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption Expenditures
(PCE) published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
of the Department of Commerce. More information on the
technique of reconciliation is available in the September 1981
Monthly Labor Review1.
Prior to December 1985, when BEA rebased the PCE data
from a 1972 to a 1982 reference base,2 the residual housing
effect contributed a substantial portion of the cumulative difference between the CPI and PCE.3 However, with the use
of a 1982 reference base, it is no longer a contributing factor, because both the CPI and the PCE have used a rental

equivalence measure of homeowners' costs since the beginning of 1983.
Cumulative differences
The current-weight PCE continued to increase faster than
the CPI through the first quarter of 1989 (see table C). Since
1982, the PCE has risen 28.2 percent while the CPI has increased 26.3 percent. Two partially offsetting factorsweighting differences and an aggregate of "other" effectsare responsible for the net difference in total effect of 1.9
percentage points in thefirstquarter. Weighting differences
reflect the cumulative effect of the PCE using current, or
moving, weights rather than 1982 fixed weights. These differences accounted for a first quarter 1989 fixed-weight index which was 1.3 percentage points more than the currentweight PCE. The weighting effect, however, has been more
than offset by a 3.2-percentage-point difference in "other"
effects as measured by a comparison of the two Laspeyresformula indexes, the CPI-U and the fixed-weight PCE.
Historically, "other" effects have mainly resulted from differences in seasonal adjustment methods, different market
baskets, and the use of the Consumer Expenditure Survey
data for determining the weight distribution in the CPI as opposed to the GNP composition used by the PCE to determine

its weighting structure. The PCE introduced 1982 based
weights in 1982, whereas the CPI did not begin using weights
derived from the 1982-84 Consumer Expenditure Survey until January 1987. This gap in weighting between 1982 and
1987 further contributed to cumulative differences reflected
in *'other" effects which occurred during that time period.

Period-to-period differences
To analyze differences in the annual and quarterly rates
of change in the CPI and PCE (see table D), the chain-weight
PCE is used in place of the current-weight PCE.4 The chainweight PCE uses the Laspeyres formula and gets its weights




from the first of the two periods being compared. The CPI-U
rose at an annual rate of 5.4 percent between the fourth
quarter of 1988 and the first quarter of 1989, 0.7 percent
more than the 4.7-percent rise in the chain-weight PCE.
During the fourth quarter, the CPI-U and the chain-weight PCE
had increased at rates of 4.4 percent and 4.7 percent,
respectively. The 1982 fixed-weighted PCE rose at an annual
rate of 4.8 percent in the first quarter, compared with a
4.7-percent rise in the chain-weight PCE. This difference
yields a weighting effect of 0.1 percent. The difference
between the rates for the CPI-U and thefixed-weightPCE
represents the "other" effects factor, and revealed a
0.6-percent greater increase in the CPI-U during the first
quarter.

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.

Brief Explanation of the CPI

The indexes measure price change from a designated reference date, 1982-84, which equals 100.0. An increase of 7
percent, for example, is shown as 107.0. 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 $100 in 1982-84 to $107.
For further details, see BLS Handbook of Methods, BLS
Bulletin 2285, April 1988, and The Consumer Price Index:
1987 Revision, BLS Report 736, January 1987.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the
average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket
of goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
publishes CPi's for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All
Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80
percent of the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which covers 32 percent of the total population. The CPi-u includes, in addition
to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the selfemployed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees
and others not in the labor force.
The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and
fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors' and dentists'
services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from about 57,000 housing units
and approximately 19,000 retail establishments—department
stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other
types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of food, fuels, and a few other items
are obtained every month in all 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.
Some data, such as used car prices, are obtainedfromsecondary sources.
In calculating the index, price changes for the various items
in each location are averaged together with weights which
represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate
population group. Local data are then combined to obtain
a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also published by
size of city, by region of the country, for cross calculations
of regions and population-size classes, and for 27 local areas.
Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices
among cities, they only measure the average change in prices
for each area since the base period.




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.

1971, when the 1967 base was substituted for the former
1957-59 base.
Historical data for each CPI series on the new base are
available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the convenience of users, the BLS will continue to publish all-items
indexes for the U.S. city average, and for the individual local areas for which CPi's are published, on their former official reference base (1967 = 100 in most cases).
Conversion factors and an accompanying fact sheet on rebasing are available from BLS. Dividing by one of these factors will rebase the related index series from its current
1982-84 base to its previous reference base. (Users should
note: Because of rounding effects, there may be occasional
minor differences between the final rebased index and the
result obtained using the conversion factor.)

used hedonic regression methods to estimate the aging effect. The estimates were then used to correct the CPI rent
and rental equivalence indexes. Hedonic regressions are
statistical functions that relate the price of a good to its attributes or characteristics. For example, a hedonic regression relates a housing unit's rent to its size, age, location,
etc. By using BLS housing survey data from 1987 and Census data from 1980, hedonic regression methods provided
estimates of the relationship between a housing unit's rent
and age while other housing unit characteristics were held
constant. The estimated relationship was then used to construct the aging adjustment. Estimates will be recomputed
annually by using the previous year's BLS housing survey
data and the most recently available Census data.

Seasonally Adjusted and
Unadjusted Data

Adjustment of Shelter Indexes
for Aging Effects
Beginning with the January 1988 CPI, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics adjusted the monthly CPI shelter indexes for the
change in quality resulting from the effect of aging on rental housing. In January 1987, the Bureau announced its intention to begin making such adjustments, assuming that
further research substantiated the need to do so. The decision to implement the adjustment was based on extensive BLS
research, in which alternative adjustment methods were explored and tested. Evaluation of the research indicates that
an aging effect exists, and that the chosen method is operationally feasible.l The adjustment affects CPI shelter indexes,
which would have been raised by 0.2 percent for the year
1987 had an aging adjustment been applied.
The quality of a housing unit decreases as the unit ages.
Existing BLS methods are used to correct for relatively easily
measured quality changes such as the addition of an extra
bedroom, but such methods are inadequate to correct for deterioration in the condition of housing units.2 The aging adjustment method was specificially designed to correct for
quality changes associated with this deterioration. The BLS

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 yearsuch 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-ll 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 1984 through 1988 were replaced at the end of 1988.
The seasonal movement of all items and 43 other
aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement
of 50 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of
every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical
criteria. If any of the 50 components change their seasonal
adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally
adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used for the
last 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used
before that period.

Energy Prices

Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some
energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated:

Price are usually available for the U.S. city average, 28
large urban areas, and 16 areas reflecting the four Census
regions cross-classified by four population sizes. However,
not all energy commodities and services are used in every
area of the country. Fuel oil, for example, is not a common
heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South
and West. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA will also appear if the data sufficiency criteria have
not been met in any given month. For example, if there are
fewer than five usable fuel oil prices for a published city or
region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area wiil be published.
All prices are collected monthly by BLS representatives in
the urban areas priced for the CPI. Prices for natural gas and
electricity include fuel and purchased gas adjustments and
all applicable taxes. Fuel oil and gasoline prices include applicable Federal, State, and local taxes.

1 therm = 100,000 BTU'S (U.S. Department of Energy).
1 kwh = 3,412 BTU'S (Edison Electric Institute)
1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTU'S (U.S. Department of
Energy).

Food Prices
In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are calculated each month at the national level and for the four
Census geographic regions. As a result of changes in price
collection methodology and sample sizes, average prices for
individual cities cannot in general be produced. It is hoped,
however, that regional average prices will help satisfy the
need for local area data. It should be noted that the average
food prices in this report reflect variations in brand, quality, and size among geographic areas. Users of average food
prices should be aware that these differences exist.
Because a number of food commoditites are not available
in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will not appear in
some months for some regions or for the U.S. city average.
In other instances, sufficient prices may not be available due
to temporary disruptions in supplies. Where no average
prices are available, the designation NA will appear. When
a price is not available from an individual store in any month,
an estimated price will be calculated for the missing item
and used in computing the average price. In cases where the
proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the average
is considered too high, the average price will not be published and NA will appear for that item in the table.
Because of space limitations in the table, the description
for each item is abbreviated. More detailed specifications
are available from the BLS regional offices or from the
Washington office upon request.

Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported
in therms, which are a measure of heating value. Electricity
prices are given in kilowatt hours (kfah). For both utility services, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are the
upper and lower limits of the bill sizes priced for the Consumer Price Index. The average prices per therm and per
kilowatt hour are calculated from bills priced within these
ranges. It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI are
not only for different consumption amounts, but may also
be calculated from different types of residential rate
schedules. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt
hour are not, therefore, generally suitable for use in placeto-place price comparisons.
The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas
for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table PI) are calculated
from a special price collection program. They are not used
in the calculation of the CPI. Since heating and airconditioning requirements vary by geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it cannot be inferred that these
consumption amounts represent those used by a typical
residential consumer. These bills are used merely to track
price changes over time for constant amounts, of consumption, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and
electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index.

Reference Base Change
Beginning with the release of data for January 1988 in
February 1988, most Consumer Price Indexes have shifted
to a new reference base year. All indexes previously expressed
on a base of 1967 = 100, or any other base through December
1981, have been rebased to 1982-84=100. Only indexes with
a base later than December 1981 have maintained their bases.
This base change was reviewed by the Office of Federal
Statistical Policy and Standards, Office of Management and
Budget, and is in keeping with the Government's longstanding policy to update index bases periodically. Selection of
the 1982-84 period was made to coincide with the updated
expenditure weights, which are based upoji data tabulated
from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys for 1982, 1983,
and 1984. The last rebasing of CPI data occurred in February

Fuel oil Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. Prices
are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than one
gallon. These prices are converted to a gallon price for this
program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity and/or
quick payment.
Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump from a
sample of full service, mini-service, and self-serve gas
stations.
