Beginning with release of the CPI for January 1987 on February 27, 1987, the Bureau will introduce revised versions of the current CPI's both for All Urban Consumers and for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. The revised CPI's will reflect more current population and spending patterns and numerous technical enhancements. See page 5 for further details. Price Movements March 1986 The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers declined 0.5 percent before seasonal adjustment in March to a level of 326.0 (1967 = 100). Over the year, the CPI-U increased 2.3 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) declined 0.6 percent in March prior to seasonal adjustment. The March 1986 CPI-W level of 321.4 (1967= 100) was 1.9 percent higher than the index in March 1985. (CPI-U) CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U declined 0.4 percent in March. This drop was the same as in February. Energy prices continued to decline in March—down 6.5 percent—and were only partially offset by a 0.3 percent increase, on average, for other components of the CPI. During the first 3 months of 1986, the CPI-U fell 0.5 percent, a 1.9 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate, the largest decrease for any 3-month period since that ended in October 1954. Reflecting the sharp drop in crude oil prices, energy commodities—fuel oil, coal, bottled gas, and motor fuels—declined 16.9 percent in the first quarter, a 52.3 percent annual rate of decline. Food prices also declined in the first quarter. Shelter costs continued to advance at an annual rate of over 5 percent. The index for all items excluding food, shelter, and energy rose somewhat more slowly than during 1985. The first quarter moderation among these other items has occurred primarily in the goods sector, as prices in the service sector, principally medical costs, have accelerated. The annual rates for these groups for 1982-85 and the first quarter of this year are shown below. Percent change 12 months ended— AUitems Food Energy Energy commodities .

The gasoline price index declined a record 12.0 percent in March and receded to its level of late 1979. This represents a 26.9 percent drop from its peak level of March 1981. Used car prices—down 0.7 percent in March—declined for the second consecutive month and were 4.9 percent below their level a year ago. A decrease in the index for public transportation, reflecting a decline in airline fares, also contributed to the decrease in transportation costs. Partially offsetting these declines were small increases in the indexes for new cars and automobile maintenance and repairs—both up 0.2 percent—and a sharp increase in the cost of automobile insurance. Automobile insurance costs rose 1.3 percent in March and were 13.8 percent above their level a year earlier. The housing index increased 0.2 percent in March, following a decline of 0.1 percent in February. All major components contributed to the turnaround; shelter costs accelerated, prices for household furnishings and operations turned upward, and the index for fuels and utilities registered a smaller, but still substantial decline than in February. The shelter component advanced 0.6 percent in March, following increases of 0.4 percent in each of the preceding 3 months. Within shelter, renters' costs rose 0.5 percent, and homeowners' costs increased 0.9 percent, while maintenance and repair costs declined 3.2 percent. The turnaround in the index for household furnishings and operations was due to a return from sale price levels to moderately higher regular prices for housefurnishings. Housekeeping supplies continued to decline in March. The index for fuel and other utilities declined 1.0 percent in March. Fuel oil prices declined 6.5 percent after registering a record 11.5 percent drop in February and were 27 percent below their peak level of April 1981. Among other fuels, charges for electricity and natural gas declined 0.5 and 0.7 percent, respectively. The food and beverage component registered a 0.1 percent increase in March, after declining 0.6 percent in February. All three major groups—food at home, food away from home, and alcoholic beverages—contributed to the turnaround. Grocery store food prices were unchanged in March, following a 1.0 percent drop in the preceding month. Declines in the indexes for meats, Table A.

Beef, pork, and poultry prices all declined in March. During the past 12 months, beef and pork prices have declined 1.5 and 1.2 percent, respectively, while poultry prices have increased 0.4 percent. Charges for restaurant meals increased 0.4 percent in March. Prices for alcoholic beverages were unchanged in March, following a decline in February. The advance of 1.0 percent in March was the largest monthly increase in the medical care component since July 1982. Medical care services increased 1.1 percent with the costs of physicians' services and hospital rooms up 1.1 and 1.2 percent, respectively. The index for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 0.6 percent in March. _ c .-1.4 .7 .2 .6 The index for apparel and upkeep—down 0.1 percent in March—declined for the third consecutive month. Clothing prices, reflecting the sales promotions on spring wear, increased less than their usual seasonal pattern. Charges for apparel services rose 0.2 percent in March. The entertainment component, largely reflecting a decrease in prices for sporting goods and equipment, declined 0.1 percent in March, following a 0.2 percent increase in February. The index for other goods and services increased 0.4 percent in March.

More information on the technique of reconciliation appears in the September 1981 Monthly Labor Review S Effective December 1985, BEA rebased the PCE data from a 1972 to a 1982 reference base.2 With the use of a 1 Jack E. Triplet*, "Reconciling the CPI and PCE Deflator," Monthly Labor Review, Sept. 1981, pp. 3-15. Subsequent reconciliations appeared in the January, May, July, and October 1982 Review, and in the February 1983 Review. 2 The November 1985 CPI Detailed Report contains the final reconciliation (running through the third quarter of 1985) of the CPI and PCE using 1972 weights. 3 "Reconciling Two Measures of Consumer Price Change: Second Quarter 1984," CPI Detailed Report, July 1984, pp. 4-6, for explanation of the residual housing effect. A subsequent reconciliation appeared in the October 1984 Report. 1982 reference base, the residual housing effect,3 which; contributed a substantial portion of the cumulative difference between the CPI and PCE through 1982, is no longer a contributing factor, since both the CPI and PCE have used a rental equivalence measure of homeowners' costs since the beginning of 1983. Cumulative differences Since 1982, the PCE with 1982 weights has been increasing at a faster rate than the CPI. This contrasts with the historical tendency of the CPI to increase more rapidly than the PCE.4 The new trend is primarily reflected in the difference between the CPI-U and the PCE using fixed 1982 weights (see table C). The CPI-U advanced 12.9 percent, while the currentweight PCE rose 13.1 percent from 1982 through the fourth quarter of 1985. Thus, the difference between the cumulative percent changes in the two indexes was 0.2 of a percentage point. Of this difference, 0.1 of a percentage point arose in the fourth quarter alone. 4 Ibid., November 1985, p. 5, table C. Table C.

PCE: Current weight Difference: Other effect -.2 The net difference is the result of two partially offsetting factors—weighting differences and an aggregate of "other" effects. Weighting differences, which reflect the cumulative effect of using fixed 1982 weights rather than current, or moving, weights, accounted for the additional 0.1 of a percentage point in the fourth quarter and have accounted for a total weighting effect of 0.7 of a percentage point. This difference was more than offset by "other" effects as measured by a comparison of the CPI-U with the fixed-weight PCE. "Other" effects have historically resulted, in part, from differences in seasonal adjustment methods, different market baskets, and the use of Consumer Expenditure Survey data for determining the weight distribution in the CPI as opposed to the use of GNP composition to determine the PCE weighting structure. Weights for the PCE are now based on the composition of GNP as of 1982, whereas the CPI continues to use weights derived from the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey. This 10-year gap in weighting further contributes to differences reflected in "other" effects. With the CPI revision scheduled for January 1987, the CPI will begin using weights from the 1982-84 Consumer Expenditure Survey. As of 1985, the annual average indexes for the two price measures showed a total cumulative difference of 0.2 percent. The CPI-U increased 11.4 percent between 1982 and 1985, while the current-weight PCE rose 11.6 percent. The average difference due to weighting effects during 1985 was 0.6 percent, up from 0.3 percent in 1984. "Other" effects accounted for the offsetting impact of 0.8 of a percentage point, with the PCE measure rising more than the CPI. percent more than the 4.3-percent increase in the CPI-U. During the third quarter, the chain-weight PCE had increased 0.2 percent less than the CPI-U. Comparing the chain-weighted PCE with the fixed 1982-weighted PCE in the fourth quarter shows an annualized rate for the chain-weighted index which was 0.1 of a percentage point lower than the PCE rate using fixed weights. The fourth-quarter rates for the CPI-U and the fixed-weight PCE, which determine the "other" effects, showed a 0.3-percent difference. On an annual average basis, the CPI-U increased 3.6 percent in 1985. This increase was 0.2 percent higher than the 3.4-percent rise in the chain-weighted PCE. The fixed-weight PCE also advanced 3.4 percent, indicating no measurable impact of the annual weighting factor in 1985. "Other" effects accounted for all of the overall difference between the CPI and PCE in 1985. Period-to-period differences Analysis of differences in the annual and quarterly rates of change in the CPI and PCE (see table D) makes use of the chain-weight PCE in place of the currentweight PCE. 5 This PCE index index increased at an annual rate of 4.5 percent during the fourth quarter, 0.2 Difference: Weighting effect Table D.

The Consumer Price Index Revision The Bureau of Labor Statistics will begin publishing a revised Consumer Price Index (CPI) with the release of the January 1987 index in February 1987. As a result of the revision, both the CPI-U and the CPI-W will have updated expenditure weights based upon data tabulated from 3 years (1982, 1983, and 1984) of the Consumer Expenditure Survey, replacing the current expenditure weights based on 1972-73 data. The Bureau periodically revises the expenditure weights so that the CPI reflects price changes of items currently being purchased by consumers. The January 1987 CPI also will introduce a greatly enhanced housing survey which will improve the rental equivalence measure of homeownership costs in both the CPI-U and CPI-W. The new housing sample was designed to represent optimally both owners and renters in the estimation of shelter costs. A number of methodological and sampling advances first introduced in the 1978 revision also have been enhanced and will be incorporated into the CPI for January 1987. For example, the selection of the urban areas and the allocation of outlet samples in which prices are collected for the CPI were done by the Bureau with the primary objective of producing the most accurate national CPI possible with the funds available. The January 1987 index also will be based, for the first time on the geographic distribution of consumers as of the 1980 Census of Population. The current CPI uses the 1970 Census of Population. The requirement to allocate the sample so as to provide the most accurate national CPI did result in some local areas not having samples sufficient to permit frequent publication. Therefore, beginning in January 1987, the Bureau will publish a number of local area CPI'S less frequently. The areas affected by the changes in publication are identified later in this article. Both the CPI-U and the CPI-W published for January 1987 will be linked to the present series of each index as of December 1986 to provide a continuous series. The linking will be accomplished by setting the index levels of the revised CPI with the updated expenditure weights and samples equal to those published for the present series in December 1986. Each index will move upward or downward from the December 1986 level in accordance with subsequent changes in prices. As in the past, the Bureau will publish selected indexes using the old expenditure weights for 6 months after the issuance of the revised CPI. Unlike earlier revi- sions, these overlap indexes will not be basechsn the old samples and will differ from the revised indexes only by their expenditure weights. The base period for revised CPI issued for January 1987 will be 1967 = 100, the same as for the present index. In addition to the national all-city average CPI-U and CPI-W indexes, the Bureau now publishes indexes for 28 local areas. In 1987, it will continue to publish indexes for all but one of these areas—Northeast Pennsylvania (Scranton-Wilkes-Barre). Because of the requirement to allocate the sample to provide the most accurate national CPI possible, 14 of the remaining 27 published areas will have a change in the frequency of their publication. Based on the population growth since 1970 and expanded geographic definitions of Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas issued by the Office of Management and Budget, the San Francisco-OaklandSan Jose area has superseded the Detroit-Ann Arbor area as the fifth largest area covered by the CPI. For this reason, beginning with data for January 1987, the San Francisco area will be published monthly while the Detroit area will be published only for even-numbered months rather than monthly. Twelve areas now published bimonthly will be compiled on a semiannual average basis. These areas are: Buffalo-Niagara Falls, N.Y.; Cincinnati-Hamilton, Ohio-Ky.-Ind; Kansas City, Mo.-Kansas City, Kan.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.-Wis.; Atlanta, Ga.; Anchorage, Alaska; Denver-Boulder, Colo.; Honolulu, Hawaii; Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash.; San Diego, Calif.; and Seattle-Tacoma, Wash. These semiannual average indexes, which refer to the arithmetic averages of the 6-month periods from January through June and July through December, will be published with release of the CPI for July and January, respectively, i.e., in the months of August and February. These series will be compiled and published on their present reference bases, 1967 = 100 for all areas other than Anchorage, which is on an October 1967 reference base. Also, the Cleveland-Akron-Lorain, Ohio, indexes will be published for odd-numbered rather then even-numbered months. Indexes also are currently published bimonthly for 4 regions, 5 size classes, and 16 region-by-size groups. Beginning with January 1987, publication will become monthly; two of the size classes will be combined; and two of the region-by-size groups will be eliminated.

L.A.-Long Beach, Anaheim, Calif, is a combination of two SMSA's, and N.Y., N.Y.-Northeastern 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: 3.8 2.8 3.7 3.6 2.9 2.4 3.0 3.3 4.2 2.2 2.4 4.2 5.0 1.5 2.7 2.8 0.4 -.1 .5 .3 -.2 -.3 .1 -.4 -.5 -.6 .0 1.2 .4 -1.1 .1 -.8 A-1 More than 4,000,000. A-2 - 1,250,000 to 4,000,000. B - 385,000 to 1,250,000. C 75,000 to 385,000. D Less than 75,000. Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes A-1 and A-2. 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. 51 Table 14.

The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have urban population as defined: 3.5 2.6 3.4 3.5 2.8 2.0 2.8 3.2 4.0 2.0 2.2 3.9 4.7 1.1 2.3 2.8 0.2 -.3 .3 .3 -.1 -.5 -.1 -.4 -.5 -.7 -.1 1.1 .5 -1.0 -.1 -.8 A-1 More than 4,000,000. A-2 - 1,250,000 to 4,000,000. B - 385,000 to 1,250,000. C 75,000 to 385,000. D Less than 75,000. Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes A-1 and A-2. 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. 65 Table 19.

NA 82 .895 .238 NA Technical Notes Brief Explanation of the CPI among cities, they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period. The index measures price changes from a designated reference date—1967—which equals 100.0. An increase of 203 percent, for example, is shown as 303.0. 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 $10 in 1967 to $30.30. For further details see BLS Handbook of Methods, Vol. II,"The Consumer Price Index," Bulletin 2134-2, April 1984. 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 cprs for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total noninstitutional civilian population; and (2) a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which represents about half the population covered by the CPI-U. The CPIu includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups 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 4,000 food stores, 24,000 rental units, and 28,000 establishments—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 indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices 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. Index Point Change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change 315.5 303.5 12.0 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change 83 12.0 303.5 0.040 0.040x100 4.0 Homeownership Changes 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 place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas and for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table P-l) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Since heating and air-conditioning 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, to provide data for place-to-place price comparisons, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index. The Consumer Price Index (CPi) has been changed to incorporate a rental equivalence measure of homeowners' costs in accordance with plans announced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on October 27, 1981. For the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), this change was effective with release of the index for January 1983 and for the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPi-W), it was effective with the release of the January 1985 index. The rental equivalence approach calculates shelter costs of homeowners based on the implicit rent owners would have to pay to rent homes that they own. The old method calculated homeownership as home purchase, mortgage interest costs, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repairs. The new homeownership component was introduced into both the CPI-U and the CPIW in such a manner that in each case the indexes using the old and new methodologies were equal in the so-called "link month"—December 1982 for the CPI-U and December 1984 for the CPI-W. For more information, see the CPI Detailed Report for January 1983, pp. 7-13. 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 per gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity and/or quick payment. Energy Prices Prices 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 appear, 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 will be published. All prices, except for electricity, are collected monthly by BLS representatives in the urban areas priced for the CPI. Electricity prices are collected monthly on mail questionnaires by the Department of Energy for BLS. 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. Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, mini-service, and selfserve gas stations. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: 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, however, 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 commodities are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will; 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 P-2 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 84 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 prbpdfrticfri §f estimated prices usdB to diictiiate 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 BLS Regional Offices or from the Washington Office upon request. 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-l 1 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 1981 through 1985 were replaced at the end of 1985. The seasonal movement of all items and 44 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 51 selected components. Each year the Seasonally Adjusted and seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon Unadjusted Data certain statistical criteria. If any of the 51 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally Because price data are used for different purposes by •• different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years, but the publishes seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that changes each month. period. If any of the 51 components change their status For analyzing general price trends in the economy, from not seasonally adjusted to seasonally adjusted, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years, they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur but not seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year—such as price movements resulting from changing that period. 85 Bureau of Labor Statistics Regional Offices Region IV 1371 Peachtree Street, N.E.
