For the 12-month period ended in March, the CPI-U increased 3.2 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.4 percent in March prior to seasonal adjustment. The March 1992 CPI-W level of 137.0 was 3.0 percent higher than the index in March 1991. annual rate during the first 3 months of 1992, reflect ing declines in all energy components. The food index continued to advance very moderately, with grocery store foods increasing at a 1.8-percent annual rate and food away from home up at a 1.4-percent annual rate. Excluding food and energy, the CPI increased at a 4.8-percent annual rate during the first 3 months of 1992, compared with an increase of 4.4 percent in all of 1991. The slight acceleration was principally due to the first quarter jump in apparel prices and to larger increases in residential and owners’ equivalent rent. (See page 2.) In March, the index for food and beverages rose 0.5 per cent. Grocery store foods, which increased 0.4 percent in February, advanced 0.7 percent in March, reflecting a 6.1-percent increase in prices for fresh fruits and vegetables. This advance was partially offset by a decline, on average, in the remaining part of the grocery store food index. Within the fresh fruits and vegetables group, sharp price increases were recorded in nearly all components except for oranges—down 6.9 percent in March and 38.9 percent in the past 6 months. In particular, prices for tomatoes continued to escalate—up 22,8 percent in March and 110.1 percent in the frist 3 months of 1992. Among other grocery store food groups, only the index for cereal and bakery products registered an increase—up 0.3 per cent. The indexes for processed fruits and vegetables and for dairy products each declined in March—down 0.4 and 0.2 percent, respectively. The indexes for meats, poultry, CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.5 per cent in March, following a 0.3-percent increase in February. An upturn in the energy index and a larger increase in the index for food were largely responsible for the acceleration. The energy index, which declined 0.9 percent in February, rose 0.6 percent in March, following seasonal adjustment. Food prices rose 0.5 percent, with a 6.1-percent increase in fresh fruit and vegetable prices accounting for nearly all of this advance. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.5 percent. This compares with a 0.4-per-cent increase in February. During the first 3 months of 1992, the CPI-U rose at a 3.5-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). This compares with a 3.1-percent increase in 1991. The pattern thus far in 1992 is similar to that in 1991. After declining 7.4 percent in 1991, energy prices fell at a 6.9-percent Table A.

Within the former category, a 9.9-percent decline in egg prices more than offset a 1.2-percent in crease in beef prices. Pork prices declined 0.2 percent and poultry prices rose 0.1 percent. The other two com ponents of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—rose 0.1 and 0.5 percent, respectively. The housing component rose 0.4 percent in March, fol lowing increases of 0.2 percent in each of the first 2 months of 1992. An upturn in the index for household fuels was responsible for the acceleration. Household fuels, which declined 2.0 percent during the first 2 months of the year, rose 0.4 percent in March. Fuel oil prices continued to fall in March, but not as much as usual, increasing 0.9 percent after seasonal adjustment. This advance, coupled with a 0.9-percent increase in the index for electricity, more than offset another drop in charges for natural gas—down 0.7 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 lII Item s....................

Shelter costs rose 0.3 percent, the same as in February. Within shelter, homeowners’ costs rose 0.6 percent and maintenance and repair costs, 0.1 per cent, while renters’ costs fell 0.3 percent. The decline in renters’ costs reflect a 2.5-percent drop in the index for lodging while out of town. Residential rents rose 0.5 per cent. The index for household furnishings and operations increased 0.3 percent; about 95 percent of this advance was due to a 1.9-percent advance in the index for furniture and bedding. The transportation index, which had declined in each of the first 2 months of the year, rose 0.7 percent in March. An upturn in the indexes for motor fuels and public trans portation and in automobile purchase costs—new vehicles, used cars, and automobile finance charges— accounted for over 90 percent of the acceleration. Gaso line prices rose 0.8 percent in March, following declines in both January and February, and are now 17.9 percent lower than their peak level of November 1990. In March, the index for new vehicles rose 0.7 percent, following a 0.1-percent increase in February. Used car prices, which had declined in each of the preceding 3 months, were un changed in March. Automobile finance charges continued to decline—down 0.6 percent in March—but by less than in recent months. Automobile finance charges last rose in February 1991 and have declined 12.5 percent during the past 12 months. The index for public transportation rose 1.9 percent in March, following a 0.5-percent drop in February. Airline fares increased 2.7 percent, accounting for over 90 percent of the advance. The index for apparel and upkeep rose 0.6 percent in March after seasonal adjustment. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, this component advanced 2.5 percent.) The continued introduction of higher priced spring and sum mer merchandise was again largely responsible for the advance. SAAR 3 months ended in March Percent changes, 12 months ended in December January Compound annual rate 3 months ended March 1992 4.8 2 The medical care component rose 0.5 percent in March—slightly below its average monthly increase over the prior 6 months—to a level 7.8 percent above a year ago. The index for medical care commodities rose 0.6 per cent, largely due to an increase of 0.7 percent for prescription drugs. The medical care services component advanced 0.5 percent. Within medical care services, the cost of professional services rose 0.3 percent and hospital and related services rose 0.7 percent. Entertainment costs rose 0.4 percent in March. Increases in the indexes for reading materials, admissions, and sporting goods and equipment contributed to the advance. 3 The index for other goods and services rose 0.5 percent in March, the same as in February. The index for personal expenses—legal service fees, personal financial services, and funeral expenses—continued to advance, up 0.5 per cent in March, bringing the first-quarter annual rate to 9.6 percent. CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers also rose 0.5 percent in March. Improvements to CPI Procedures: Lodging While Out of Town Effective with the calculation of the CPI for June 1992, an improvement will be made to the methodology used to calculate the index for lodging while out of town. Begin ning in June this index will again be moved by a sample of outlets selected from across the country to reflect expendi tures for out of town lodging as reported by residents of each sampling area. Prior to June 1992, the total sample size for lodging while out of town was relatively small, equaling approxi mately 290 quotes. Estimates of price change for lodging establishments are often quite volatile, since those estab lishments tend to be located in vacation areas with signifi cant seasonal pricing patterns. Because of this volatility, each sampling area within the lodging while out of town index was moved by its corresponding regional price rela tive from January 1990 through May 1992. This was an attempt to maximize the representation of geographic areas in which expenditures for out of town lodging were made and to reduce the volatility of index movements due to small sample sizes. (Prior to January 1990, each sam pling area had been moved by a limited sample of hotels and motels selected for that area only. The shift to regional price relatives in 1990 effectively increased the sample size used to calculate the price relative for each sampling area.) The shift back to an individual sampling area measure was made possible by enlarging the sample of hotels and motels roughly eightfold to yield approximately 2,400 price quotes. Thus, each sampling area’s index for lodging while out of town will be based on an appropriate number of price quotes to ensure a statistically valid measure of price change. Besides directly affecting the index for lodging while out of town, this change will also affect the other renters’ costs index. While both of these indexes are available at the U.S. city average level, lodging while out of town is not available for regions, size classes, or metropolitan areas. The other renters’ costs index is an aggregate index that is published on a monthly basis for all the areas for which CPI data are published. The other renters’ costs index in cludes the three components shown below together with their December 1991 U.S. city average relative importance values: Lodging while out of town Lodging while at school Tenants’ insurance 1.923 .211 .033 At the U.S. city average level, lodging while out of town has approximately 89 percent of the weight of the other renters’ costs index, by far the largest component of that index.

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. Table 11.

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. Table 18.

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 (cp i-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. Separate 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 affeçtëd 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 97 4.0 108.5 0.037 0.037 x 100 3.7 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 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 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 n a 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 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 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. 98 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 rebasp 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 b l s 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 b l s 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 rsuch 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 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, 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 o f Methods, chapter 19 (BLS Bulletin 2285). 99 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 ■&U.S. G o v e r n m e n t P r i n t i n g O f f i c e 1992 3 1 2 - 3 5 4 / 6 Ü 1 05 100 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 by calling Claire McAnaw on (202)504-2051.
