For the 12-month period ended in March, the CPI-U increased 5.2 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPi-W) increased 0.6 percent in March prior to seasonal adjustment. The March 1990 CPi-W level of 127.1 was 5.2 percent higher than the index in March 1989. CPI for All Urban Consumers at an even more rapid pace in the first quarter of 1990 and accounted for about one-quarter of the acceleration in the overall CPI-U. Rising energy costs accounted for about 18 percent of the recent acceleration and higher shelter costs accounted for about 8 percent. Nearly one-half of the ac celeration in the overall CPI reflects the effect of the 7.9-per cent first-quarter advance in the all items less food, shelter, and energy component. While most components within this group contributed to the more rapid advance in 1990, about 30 percent of the overall CPI-U acceleration was due to the sharp first-quarter increase in the index for apparel and upkeep. The 21.4-percent annual rate during the first 3 months of 1990 compares with a 1.0-percent increase in calendar year 1989. The rates for selected groups during the past 7 years and the first quarter of 1990 are shown below. (CPi-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.5 percent in March, the same as in February. Over two-thirds of the March advance was due to increases in the indexes for hous ing and apparel and upkeep. The rise in the housing compo nent was largely the result of a 1.0-percent increase in homeowners’ costs; partially offsetting this advance was a decline in household fuel prices. Motor fuel prices turned down in March, and coupled with a decrease in automobile purchase costs, were responsible for the decline in the transportation index. Food and beverage prices continued to increase—up 0.4 percent in March—but by less than in the preceding 2 months. Each of the other three major expendi ture groups—medical care, entertainment, and other goods and services—registered the same increase as in February. During the first 3 months of 1990, the CPI-U rose at an 8.5-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). This was the largest quarterly advance since a 10.1-percent annual rate in the second quarter of 1982 and compares with a 4.6-percent rise in calendar year 1989. The food index, which last year recorded its largest increase since 1980, advanced SAAR 3-months ended March Percent change 12 months ended December 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 3.8 All items............... -.5 E n e rg y ...............

Gasoline prices declin ed 1.4 percent in March after advancing 8.5 percent in the first 2 months of 1990. Also contributing to the March transporta tion decrease was a decline in automobile purchase costs. The index for new vehicles declined 0.2 percent, and automobile finance charges dropped 1.4 percent. Used car prices declined 0.8 percent. On the other hand, the index for automobile maintenance and repair costs rose 0.9 percent, its largest in crease since April 1987. The index for public transportation—up sharply for the third consecutive month—rose 1.8 percent in March, primarily reflecting an increase in airline fares. The index for apparel and upkeep rose 1.6 percent in March, following a 3.3-percent increase in February. The continued introduction of higher priced spring and summer wear, par ticularly women’s clothing, was responsible for the advance. The medical care component rose 0.8 percent in March to a level that was 8.6 percent above a year ago. The index for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—advanced 0.6 percent. The in dex for medical care services increased 0.8 percent, with the cost of professional services and hospital and related services up 0.4 and 1.1 percent, respectively. Entertainment costs rose 0.4 percent in March, the same as in February. Most components registered moderate advances. In March, for the second consecutive month, the index for other goods and services increased 0.6 percent. About twofifths of the March advance was due to a 1.3-percent rise in the index for personal expenses, reflecting large increases in legal services, financial services, and funeral expenses. The food and beverages index advanced 0.4 percent in March. Grocery store food prices, which rose 2.9 and 0.5 percent in January and February, respectively, increased 0.2 percent in March. Declines in the indexes for fruits and vegetables and dairy products were largely responsible for the moderation. However, despite a 1.0-percent drop in March, fruit and vegetable prices rose 10.1 percent in the first 3 months of 1990 and accounted for more than half of the 3.6-percent increase in the index for grocery store foods during this period. The decline in the index for dairy pro ducts followed a 6-month period of sharply rising prices in which this index rose 10.8 percent. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 0.7 percent in March, reflect ing large increases in poultry, pork, and egg prices. The in dex for fish and seafood declined 2.1 percent. The other two components of the food and beverage index-restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages--rose 0.6 and 0.7 percent, respectively. The housing component advanced 0.5 percent in March, following a 0.2-percent increase in February. Shelter costs rose 0.7 percent in March. Within shelter, there was substantial variation. Homeowners’ costs, which declined in February, rose 1.0 percent in March. Renters’ costs and maintenance and repair costs both increased 0.3 percent. The moderation in renters’ costs reflected a decline in the index for lodging while out of town; residential rents rose 0.6 percent. The index for household fuels and utilities increased 0.1 percent in March after declining 0.6 percent in February. A decline in the index for household fuels was more than offset by an increase in the index for other utilities and public services. Fuel oil prices— down 1.9 percent—declined for the second consecutive month after increasing sharply in January. Charges for natural gas declined 0.2 percent for the second month in a row. The in dex for electricity increased 0.2 percent in March. Among other utilities and public services, the indexes for cable television and for garbage and trash collection recorded their fourth con secutive large increase in March, advancing 1.3 and 1.5 per cent, respectively. The other major housing group—household furnishings and operations—was unchanged in March after in creasing 0.6 percent in February. January C om pound annual rate 3-months ended March 1990 CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the c p i for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.4 percent in March. 2 Reconciling Two Measures of Consumer Price Change: Fourth 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 Expendi tures (PCE) published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the Department of Commerce. More information on the technique of reconciliation appears in the September 1981 Monthly Labor Review. 1 Prior to December 1985, when BEA rebased the PCE data from a 1972 to a 1982 reference base2, the residual housing effect3 contributed a substantial portion of the cumulative difference between the CPI and PCE. 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 remained higher than the CPI through the fourth quarter of 1989 (table C). Since 1982, the PCE has risen 31.8 percent compared with an increase of 30.4 percent for the CPI. The net difference of 1.4 percentage points is attributable to two partially offsetting factors—weighting differences and an aggregate of “ other” effects. Weighting differences reflect the cumulative effect of the PCE using current, or moving, weights rather than 1982 fixed weights, and accounted for a fourth-quarter 1989 fixedweight index which was 2.0 percentage points more than the current-weight PCE. The weighting effect, however, has been more than offset by a 3.4-percentage-point difference in “ other” effects as measured by comparison of the two Laspeyres-formula 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 CPI began using weights derived from the 1982-84 Consumer Expenditure Survey in January 1 Jack E. Triplett, “ Reconciling the CPI and PCE Deflator,” Monthly 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. 2 The November 1985 CPI Detailed Report contains the final reconciliation (running through the third quarter o f 1985) o f the CPI and PCE using 1972 weights. 3 See “ Reconciling Two Measures o f Consumer Price Change: Second Quarter 1984,” CPI D etailed Report, July 1984, pp. 4-6, for an explana tion o f the residual housing effect. A subsquent reconciliation appeared in the October 1984 D etailed Report. Table C.

This gap in weighting between 1982 and 1987 farther contributed to the cumulative differences reflected in “ other” effects during that time period. rose at an annual rate of 3.9 percent between the third and the fourth quarters of 1989, 0.5 less than the 4.4-percent rise in the chain-weight PCE. The weighting effect is arrived at by comparing the 1982 fixed-weighted PCE with the chainweight PCE. For the fourth quarter of 1989, the weighting effect had no impact on the total difference between the CPI-U and the PCE. The difference between the rates for the CPI-U and the fixed-weighted PCE represents the “ other effects” factor, and was responsible for the entire total effects change. The PCE rose 0.5 percent faster than the CPI-U during the fourth quarter. During the third quarter, the CPI-U and the chain-weight PCE had increased at rates of 2.9 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. 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 4 CPI D etailed Report, July 1984, p .5. 4 Improvements in CPI Procedures The Bureau of Labor Statistics continuously evaluates the Consumer Price Index (CPI) program to identify needed im provements. In the past, however, most improvements in pro cedures were introduced only at the time of a major revi sion of the CPI, which occurred about every 10 years when the market basket of goods and services priced was updated. b l s now is introducing small, though potentially significant improvements as their benefits are proven. This article describes two recent changes in CPI procedures—the use of intervention analysis in seasonal adjustment and a change in the weighting procedure for two components of the housing series. series. The entire shift may occur in one period (month)or may be spread over a number of periods. CPI • Outlier • Seasonal shift A permanent change in the seasonal pattern of price change. In each case, intervention analysis is used to smooth out the series by assigning each of these effects to a given com ponent of the price movement—level shifts to the trend, outliers to the irregular, and seasonal shifts to the seasonal— by an analysis and identification of the causes of the effects. For example, a level shift was noted in 1983 for fuel oil. Analysis revealed that the sharp change in the price of fuel oil was due to a price cut by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and this price movement was assigned to the trend. Since outliers are random events, they have no identifiable explanation. In January 1990, the series listed below were adjusted us ing intervention analysis before X -Il-A R IM A processing. All series were examined using an 8-year span, 1982-89, with the exception of new vehicles and new cars, for which the most recent 6 years of data were used. Intervention analysis in seasonal adjustment Seasonal adjustment is the process by which the seasonal movement of prices for goods or services in a Consumer Price Index series is quantified and then factored out of the series to permit analysis of nonseasonal price movements. For the CPI, the X-Il-A R IM A program developed by Statistics Canada is used to calculate factors for seasonal adjustment of both historical and current series. Briefly, the X-H-ARIM A program uses moving averages to disaggregate the movement for each series into three com ponents: A trend component, representing the long-term movement of the series; a seasonal component, represent ing the cyclical movement within a year; and an irregular com ponent, representing the random movement. The X-11-a r i m a program works best when the series is relatively stable, because isolated extreme values, sharp movements, and/or discontinuities in the trend sometimes obscure the seasonal component. Thus the resulting seasonal adjustment factors are not as good a “ fit” for the series as they could be. To improve the seasonal adjustment for some series, a technique called intervention analysis now is being applied using the prior-adjustment option of X-H-ARIMA. Prior adjust ment means that some values in the CPI series to be seasonally adjusted are modified before the application of x -11-a r i m a . In those cases where modeling intervention resulted in better seasonal adjustment than the earlier method provided, these seasonal adjustment factors were accepted for use in calculating the c p i . The judgment of whether the results were better was based on diagnostic statistics supplied by the X-11-ARIMA program and by economic analysis. Several categories of events may be removed from the series using intervention analysis: • Level shift An extreme value for a specific month. Fuel oil Fuel oil and other household fuel commodities Motor fuel, motor oil, coolant, and other products Motor fuels Gasoline Leaded regular gasoline Unleaded regular gasoline Unleaded premium gasoline New vehicles New cars Women’s coats and jackets Women’s dresses Women’s separates and sportswear Women’s nightwear, underwear, hosiery, and accessories Women’s suits Girls’ apparel For each series that was adjusted using intervention analysis, a complete list of level shifts is provided, along with the identified causes for each shift. The outliers for each series are included in the list. The series were examined for seasonal shifts, but none were evident. A large change—or shift— in the price level of a 5 For further information on this change, write to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Room 3212 BC, Washington, DC 20212, or call Claire McAnaw on (202) 504-2051.

Effective with the calculation of indexes for March 1990, an improvement was made in the weighting procedure used to calculate the Residential Rent Index and the Owners’ Equivalent Rent Index. These two indexes are produced at both the U.S. and area levels. Each index is used in the con struction of the Shelter index and, at a higher aggregation, the Housing index. Each housing sample unit is selected to represent a large number of units in the universe. The unit is selected based on whether it is owner- or renter-occupied. The importance, or weight, of the unit is determined by the status and the location of the unit. Since both the Residential Rent and Owners’ Equivalent Rent indexes are calculated based on changes in the rent of rental units, the sample of rental units is larger than the sam ple of owner units.1Therefore, the weight of a single owner unit is larger than the weight of a single rental unit. In the past, when the owner/renter status (or tenure) of the unit changed, for example from owner- to renteroccupied, there was a change in the number of units in the universe that the unit represented and in the weight. However, analysis showed that this procedure was incon 1 For details on how rental units’ price changes are used in the Owners’ Equivalent Rent index, see BLS Handbook o f Methods, chapter 19 (BLS Bulletin 2285, 1988). 8/88 7 Starting in March 1990, the housing unit’s weight is bas ed on the original status of the unit and will not change when the status changes. However, the current tenure status will still determine how the unit is used in the computation of price movement for the Residential Rent Index and the Owners’ Equivalent Rent Index. In the current housing sample there are approximately 850 units with an original status of owner—out of a total sample of 25,000 owners—but a current status of renter. There are approximately 2,700 units with an original status of re n te rout of a total sample of 35,000 renters—but a current status of owner. Switching the weights of these units back to their original status will take place over the next 6 months. The effect of this change may be to increase the variance of the shelter indexes—particularly the Residential Rent In dex. The rent change for a unit with an original status of owner, with its larger weight compared to most rental units, and a current status of renter may have a large effect on the Residential Rent price movement. The Owners’ Equivalent Rent change for a unit with an original status of renter, with its smaller weight compared to most owner units, and a cur rent status of owner may have a small effect on the Owners’ Equivalent Rent price movement.

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. 55 Table 12.

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. 81 Table 19.

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 (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 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. Index Point Change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change 112.5 108.5 4.0 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change I ll 4.0 108.5 0.037 0.037 x 100 3.7 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 b l s 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. 1 A complete technical presentation of BLS research on this subject is available in William C. Randolph, “ Housing Depreciation and Aging Bias in the Consumer Price Index,” BLS Working Paper No. 166, April 1987, and Journal o f Buisness and Economic Statistics, Vol. 6, No. 3, July 1988, pp. 359-71 and in William C. Randolph, “ Estimation of Housing Depreciation: Short Term Quality Change and Long Term Vintage Effects,” BLS Working Paper No. 160, April 1986, and Journal o f Urban Economics, Vol. 23, March 1988. pp. 162-78. These papers are available from the BLS on request. 2 For details on existing quality adjustment methods, see, BLS Handbook of Methods, chapter 19 (BLS Bulletin 2285). 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 -ll-A R iM 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, 112 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 BT 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. 113 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 Stat istics has used an enhanced seasonal adjustment procedure called intervention analysis for some C PI 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 Price and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or by calling Claire McAnaw on (202)504-2051. 114
