Price Movements
June 1990

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
rose 0.5 percent before seasonal adjustm ent in June to a level
o f 129.9 (1982-84 = 100). F or the 12-month period ended
in June, the CPI-U increased 4.7 percent.
The C onsum er P rice Index for U rban W age E arners and
Clerical W orkers (CPI-W) increased 0.6 percent in June prior
to seasonal adjustm ent. The June 1990 CPI-W level o f 128.3
was 4.5 percent higher than the index in June 1989.

CPI for All Urban Consumers

(CPi-U)

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.5 percent
in June, follow ing increases o f 0.2 percent in each o f the
2 preceding m onths. In June, increases in the food, shelter,
and energy com ponents w ere responsible for about four-fifths
o f the overall rise in the CPI-U. A substantial upturn in the
index for fruits and vegetables, coupled w ith a sharp rise
in pork and poultry prices, w ere largely responsible for the
increase in the food index. W ithin energy, an increase in
gasoline prices m ore than offset a decline in the index for
household fuels. Rising hom eow ner costs w ere prim arily
responsible for the increase in the shelter index. E xcluding
food, shelter, and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent, the
same as in M ay.
C onsum er prices rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate
(SAAR) o f 3.5 percent in the second quarter o f 1990 after ad­
vancing at a 8.5-percent rate in the first quarter. This brought
the year-to-date annual rate to 5.9 percent, about the same
as the 5.7-percent s a a r during the first half o f 1989. A fter
advancing at rates o f m ore than 10 percent in the first quarter

o f this year, energy prices declined during the 3-month period
ended in June and food prices slowed to a 2 .1 -percent SAAR.
Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose at a 3 .9-percent
annual rate in the second q u arter, com pared w ith a
7.5 -p ercen t annual rate in the first quarter. Shelter costs,
w hich had risen at a 6 .0 -p ercen t rate in the first 3 m onths
o f 1990, advanced at a 5.6-percent rate in the second quarter.
The m oderation in the index for all item s less food, energy,
and shelter between the first and second quarters was prim ari­
ly due to the substantially sm aller rate o f increase in prices
for other com m odities. C lothing prices, w hich had risen at
a 23-percent rate in the first 3 m onths, declined at a
2.3-percent rate in the period from M arch to June. The rates
for selected groups during the past 4 years and the first 6
m onths o f 1990 are show n below .

The food and beverage index increased 0.7 percent in June.
Grocery store food prices, which registered declines in each
of the preceding 2 months, rose 1.0 percent in June. The
upturn reflected larger increases in prices for all of the ma­
jor grocery store food groups, particularly the indexes for
meats, poultry, fish, and eggs and for fruits and vegetables.
The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs jumped 1.5 per­
cent in June, after a 0.1-percent increase last month. Pork
prices—up 4.0 percent in June—have risen sharply for 9
months, advancing at a 26.2-percent annual rate in this
period. Poultry prices were up 1.3 percent in June, and beef
prices increased 0.4 percent. The indexes for fish and seafood
and eggs, each of which had declined in May, turned up in
June. There was a sharp turnaround in fruit and vegetable
prices in June, as they rose 1.5 percent after falling 2.4 per­
cent in May. Fresh fruit prices rose 2.2 percent after seasonal
adjustment, primarily due to a 5.6-percent rise in prices for
other fresh fruits. Fresh vegetable prices, which increased
29.2 percent in the first 2 months of the year and then declined
23.6 percent in the next 3 months, advanced 1.4 percent in
June. Tomato prices rose 16.2 percent. The index for dairy
products rose 0.2 percent in June after declining for 3 con­
secutive months. The other two components of the food and
beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—
both increased 0.3 percent.
The housing index increased 0.6 percent in June, follow­
ing a 0.2-percent rise in May. The acceleration was due
primarily to a 0.9-percent jump in the shelter component.
Within shelter, homeowners’ costs climbed 1.1 percent,
renters’ costs increased 0.4 percent, while maintenance and
repair costs declined 0.3 percent. The index for household
fuels and other utilities declined 0.2 percent in June as an
increase of 2.7 percent in the price of natural gas was more
than offset by seasonal declines in prices of electricity and
fuel oil—down 1.6 and 4.2 percent, respectively. Among
other utilities and public services—up 0.5 percent in June—
charges for cable television rose 2.6 percent. In the last 7
months, the index for cable television has increased at an
18.9-percent annual rate. The index for household furnishings
and operations declined 0.1 percent in June, largely due to
a drop in prices for furniture, bedding, and appliances.
Transportation costs, which declined 0.2 percent in May,

rose 0.4 percent in June due to a turnaround in the index
for motor fuels. Gasoline prices jumped 2.5 percent in June
after falling 1.6 percent in May. The index for new cars
declined 0.2 percent for the fifth consecutive month, while
automobile finance charges edged up 0.1 percent, their first
increase since January. Used car prices rose 0.3 percent in
June, the same as in May. The index for public transporta­
tion increased 0.4 percent in June. Airline fares rose 0.3 per­
cent, their smallest increase since a 0.1-percent rate last
September. Over that 9-month period, airline fares have risen
at a 15.5-percent annual rate.
The index for apparel and upkeep declined for the second
consecutive month—down 0.1 percent in June. The decline
in clothing prices, which had increased sharply earlier this
year, reflects larger than usual seasonal decreases in prices
for both men’s and girls’ apparel. The index for apparel
services—laundry, dry cleaning, etc.—advanced 0.3 percent
in June.
The medical care component climbed 0.7 percent in June
to a level 9.0 percent above a year ago. The index for medical
care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription
drugs, and medical supplies—advanced 0.8 percent. The in­
dex for medical services advanced 0.7 percent. Within
medical care services, the cost of professional services and
hospital and related services rose 0.3 and 1.0 percent,
respectively.
Entertainment costs increased 0.2 percent in June for the
second consecutive month. A rise of 0.4 percent in enter­
tainment services, reflecting increased charges for club
membership and participant sports, offset a small decline in
prices for entertainment commodities.
The index for other goods and services climbed 0.9 per­
cent in June, following a 0.8-percent rise in May. About 60
percent of the June increase was accounted for by a
2.4-percent jump in prices for tobacco and smoking products.
This follows a sharp rise in the wholesale prices for tobacco
products in May.

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

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.6 percent in June.

Reconciling Two Measures
of Consumer Price Change:
First Quarter 1990

Cumulative differences

This article continues the analysis of differences between
two price measures—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 (BEA) of the
Department of Commerce. More information on the techni­
que of reconciliation is available in the September 1981
Monthly abor Review.1
Prior to December 1985, when BEA rebased the PCE data
from a 1972 to a 1982 reference base2, the residual housing
effect contributed a substantial portion of the cumulative dif­
ference 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 begin­
ning of 1983.

Through the first quarter of 1990, the c p i remained at a
lower level than the current-weight PCE (see table C). Since
1982, the CPI rose 33.0 percent while the PCE increased 34.2
percent. The net difference of 1.2 percentage points is at­
tributable to two partially offsetting factors—weighting dif­
ferences and an aggregate of “ other” effects. Weighting dif­
ferences reflect the cumulative effect of the PCE using cur­
rent, or moving, weights rather than 1982 fixed weights. As
of the first quarter, weighting accounted for a difference of
2.0 percent.
The weighting effect, however, was more than offset by
a 3.2-percentage-point difference in “ other” effects as
measured by a comparison of the two Laspeyres-formula in­
dexes, the CPi-U and the fixed-weight PCE. The fixed-weight
PCE has risen 36.2 percent since 1982, compared with the
CPI’s rise of 33.0 percent. Historically, “ other” effects have
mainly resulted from differences in seasonal adjustment
methods, different market baskets, and the use of the Con­
sumer 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 CPI
began using weights derived from the 1982-84 Consumer
Expenditure Survey in January 1987, whereas the PCE had
been using 1982 based weights since 1982. This gap in

Labor Review, September 1981, pp. 3-15. Subsequent reconciliations ap­
peared in the January, May, July, and October 1982 Review, and in the
February 1983 Review.

(running through the third quarter o f 1985) o f the CPI and PCE using 1972
weights.

Quarter 1984,” CPI D etailed Report, July 1984, pp. 4-6, for an explana­
tion of the residual housing effect. A subsequent reconciliation appeared
in the October 1984 D etailed Report.

reference base.

weighting between 1982 and 1987 further contributed to the
cumulative differences reflected in “ other” effects which
occurred during that time period.

The CPI-U rose at an annual rate of 8.2 percent between the
fourth quarter of 1989 and the first quarter of 1990, 1.0 per­
cent more than the 7.2-percent rise in the chain-weight PCE.
The weighting effect is arrived at by comparing the 1982
fixed-weighted PCE with the chain-weight PCE. For the first
quarter of 1990, the weighting difference reflected a
0.3-percent faster rise in the fixed-weighted index. The dif­
ference between the rates for the CPI-U and the fixedweighted PCE represents the “ other effects” factor, and
showed a 0.7-more rapid rise in the CPI. During the fourth
quarter, the CPI-U and the CPI-U and the chain-weight PCE
had increased at rates of 4.4 percent and 2.1 percent,
respectively.

Period-to-period differences
When differences in the annual and quarterly rates of
change in the CPI and PCE are analyzed (see table D), the
chain-weight PCE is used in place of the current-weight PCE.4
The chain-weight PCE uses the Laspeyres formula and gets
its weights from the first of the two periods compared. The

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI
program . Each local index has a sm aller sam ple size than the national
index and is, therefore, subject to substantially m ore sam pling and other
m easurem ent error.
As a result, local area indexes show greater
volatility than the national index, although th e ir long-term trends are
similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor S tatistics strongly urges users
to consider adopting the national average CPI fo r use in th e ir escala to r
clauses.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI
program . Each local index has a sm aller sam ple size than the national
index and is, therefore, subject to substantially m ore sam pling and other
m easurem ent error.
As a result, local area indexes show greater
volatility than the national index, although th e ir long-term trends are
similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor S tatistics strongly urges users
to consider adopting the national average CPI fo r use in their escala to r
clauses.

Technical Notes

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 o f Methods, BLS
Bulletin 2285, April 1988, and The Consumer Price Index:
1987 Revision, BLS Report 736, January 1987.

The Consumer Price Index ( c p i ) 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 that people buy for dayto-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 services establishments. All taxes directly
associated with the purchase and use of items are included
in the index. Prices of food, fuel, 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 obtained from secondary
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. Seperate indexes are also published by
size of city, by region of country, for cross-classifications
of regions and population-size classes, and for 29 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 effected 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.

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 n a 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 B T U ’S (U.S. Department of Energy).
1 kwh = 3,412 B T U ’S (Edison Electric Institute)
1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 B T U ’S (U.S. Department of
Energy).

Food Prices
In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are cal­
culated 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 (kwh). 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 fo r 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 upon data
tabulated from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys for 1982,
1983, and 1984. The last rebasing of CPI data occurred in

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.



109

February 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.)

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.1 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
used hedonic regression methods to estimate the aging effect.

Because price data are used for different purposes by dif­
ferent 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 y e a r 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 col­
lective 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-a r i m a 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 1985
through 1989 were replaced at the end of 1989. The seasonal
movement of all items and 45 other aggregations is derived
by combining the seasonal movement of 55 selected com­
ponents. Each year the seasonal status of every series is
reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of
the 55 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,

Price Index,” BLS Working Paper No. 166, April 1987, andJournal of Buisness

but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period.
Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for
1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced
seasonal adjustment procedure called intervention analysis
for some CPI series. Intervention analysis allows for better
estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or
sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern
are removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal
factors. For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this pro­
cedure was used to offset the effects that extreme price
volatility would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally




adjusted data for those series. For some women’s apparel
indexes and the girls’apparel index, the procedure was used
to offset the effects of changes in pricing methodology; and
for new cars and for new vehicles, this procedure was used
to offset the effects of changes in marketing strategies and
the introduction of new models. A description of interven­
tion analysis, as well as a list of events treated as interven­
tions and seasonal factors for these items may be obtained
by writing the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Con­
sumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or
