Page 103 104 105 106 Scheduled Release Dates Consumer Price Index data are scheduled for initial release on the following dates: Index month Release date Index month Release date June July 18 September October 18 July August 16 October November 16 August September 18 November December 18 Price Movements May 1990 food index continued to fall, but by less than in April. This decline was more than offset by increases in the other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—up 0.4 and 0.5 percent, respec tively. The 0.2-percent drop in grocery store food prices was largely the result of sharp declines in prices for fresh fruits and fresh vegetables—down 3.7 and 4.7 percent, respectively. Fresh vegetable prices, which increased 29.2 percent in the first 2 months of the year, have declined 23.6 percent in the past 3 months.The index for dairy products—down 0.4 per cent in May—declined for the third consecutive month after advancing 10.8 percent in the preceding 6-month period. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 0.1 percent. Declines in the indexes for eggs and fish and seafood—down 7.1 and 1.0 percent, respectively, were more than offset by increases in meat and poultry prices. Pork prices rose 2.8 percent; beef prices, 0.4 percent; and poultry prices, 0.2 percent. The housing index rose 0.2 percent in May, following a 0.1-percent increase in April. The index for fuels and other utilities, which declined 0.5 percent in April, was unchanged in May. The index for household fuels continued to decline in May, but by less than in April. Decreases in prices for fuel oil and natural gas—down 1.4 and 2.7 percent, respectively—were partially offset by a 1.0-percent increase in charges for electricity. Among other utilities and public services, increases in the indexes for cable television and trash collection more than offset a decline in charges for local telephone services. In the past 6 months, charges for cable television have increased 7.8 percent and for trash collec The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.2 percent before seasonal adjustment in May to a level of 129.2 (1982-84 = 100). For the 12-month period ended in May, the CPI-U increased 4.4 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 0.2 percent in May prior to seasonal adjustment. The May 1990 CPI-W level of 127.5 was 4.1 percent higher than the index in May 1989. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPi-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent in May. The rise was the same as in April and follows much larger increases in the first 3 months of the year. The more moderate rates of increase in April and May are most evi dent in those components largely responsible for the substan tial increase in the first quarter—food, energy, shelter, and apparel. In May, the indexes for energy and apparel declined 0.7 and 0.3 percent respectively. Food prices were, on average, unchanged, while shelter costs rose 0.2 percent. In contrast, the indexes for medical care continued to ad vance substantially, and other goods and services rose sharply in May. These increases accounted for almost three-fourths of the overall CPI-U advance. During the first 5 months of 1990, the CPI-U rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.8 percent. This compares with a 6.3-percent rate in the first 5 months of last year and a 4.6-percent change in the 12 months ended in December 1989. The index for food and beverages, which declined 0.2 per cent in April, rose 0.1 percent in May. The grocery store Table A.

The indexes for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—increased 0.4 percent. The index for medical services advanced 0.8 percent, with charges for pro fessional medical services and hospital and related services up 1.0 and 0.7 percent, respectively. Entertainment costs increased 0.2 percent in May, its smallest increase since November. Declines in prices for sporting goods and equipment, other than sport vehicles, and in fees for club memberships and participant sports, partially offset moderate increases in most other entertainment components. The index for other goods and services rose 0.8 percent in May, following a 0.4-percent increase in April. About four-fifths of the May advance was due to a 1.1-percent in crease in personal and education expenses, reflecting large increases in fees for legal and financial services, and tuition for technical and business schools. tion, 6.2 percent. Shelter costs rose 0.2 percent in May for the second consecutive month. Within shelter, renters’ costs were unchanged, homeowners’ costs rose 0.3 percent, and maintenance and repair costs increased 0.8 percent. The other m ajor housing group—household furnishings and operations—increased 0.3 percent in May. The transportation component, which rose 0.1 percent in April, declined 0.2 percent in May, largely due to a downturn in the index for motor fuels. Gasoline prices, which generally increase sharply with the advent of the driving season, rose less than seasonally, declining 1.6 percent after seasonal ad justment. Also contributing to the May transportation decrease was a 1.2-percent decline in automobile finance charges. The indexes for new vehicles and used cars, however, turned up in May, advancing 0.1 and 0.3 percent, respectively. The increase in used car prices was the first since November 1989. The index for public transportation registered its smallest increase this year, advancing 0.4 per cent in May. Airline fares, which advanced 8.0 percent in the first 4 months, rose 0.5 percent in May. The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.3 percent in May. Clothing prices, which had increased sharply earlier this year, declined 0.5 percent in May, reflecting larger than seasonal decreases in prices for women’s and girls’ wear. March Compound annual rate 3-months ended May 1990 CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.1 percent in May. 2 Improvements in CPI Procedures an early spring in many parts of the United States, a large number of comparable substitutes were chosen in these 2 months to replace discontinued styles of 1989. Since apparel is priced bimonthly in all but five areas surveyed monthly, the effects of this procedural change were felt in both February and M arch.1 Seasonal adjustment factors that are applied to certain data (including apparel commodity indexes) are based on an average of the previous 5 to 7 years. As a result, the data used to calculate the seasonal factors for 1990 were derived from years in which the new season’s merchandise was chosen later in the selling season than this year. Therefore, the seasonal factors failed to reflect the effects of the change in procedures for pricing seasonal goods. In order to estimate the extent to which the procedural change affected apparel commodities, the indexes were recalculated for the months of February and March to ap proximate the index changes that would have occurred under the previous procedures. While the published apparel com modities index at the U. S. level rose 3.6 percent after seasonal adjustment in February, BLS research indicates that the change would have been only about 1.9 percent under the old procedures. In March, when the published price change for apparel commodities showed an increase of 1.7 percent (seasonally adjusted), the index would have risen about 1.6 percent had there been no change in the pricing procedures. By April, however, regardless of the change in procedures, the index levels would have been about the same. Therefore, while the procedures permitting earlier pricing of the new seasonal apparel lines shifted the index increases earlier in time (from March and April to February and March), the lon-term effect of the new procedures is negligible. The most important aspect of this change is that it has achieved the goal of increasing the comparability of the substitutes chosen this year compared to previous years. By increasing comparability, the CPI is better able to reflect the change in prices faced by consumers. In periods when prices are rising, indexes will rise somewhat more quickly than if comparable items were not The Bureau of Labor Statistics continuously evaluates the Consumer Price Index 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. BLS now is introducing small, though potentially significant improvements as their benefits are demonstrated. This article describes a change in the procedures for pricing nonfood seasonal items to better reflect the price change faced by con sumers in the marketplace. While the change, effective February 1990, affected all nonfood seasonal commodities, the items most affected were apparel commodities. Pricing of nonfood seasonal commodities When a new selling season starts, BLS field representatives are often unable to find items they priced the previous season. They must follow a procedure to obtain the substitute closest to the old item. In the past, to obtain the widest selection of goods from which to choose comparable substitutes, CPI field representatives were asked to wait until the second month of the season for their selection process. This ensured that the most comparable items would be chosen to replace goods no longer available and improved the potential for comparing the price of the current season’s item with that of the previous year. In this way the CPI would best reflect the price change ultimately faced by consumers without any quality change creeping into the calculation of the index. In the early 1980’s, Bureau research had shown that the most complete selection of items for a given spring/summer or fall/winter season was generally available about a month after the selling season began in the retail outlet. During the first month of the season, many items were still being received and were not yet displayed. By the late 1980’s, however, retailers in the apparel industry, in particular, had gained much better control over their inventories through a process referred to in the trade as 4‘quick response. ’’ Through com puter links between retailers, distributors, and manufacturers, retail stores were able to stock fewer items at the beginning of a season and to reorder those items that were selling well. This meant that the widest selection of goods was available closer to the beginning of the season. Therefore, beginning in February, pricing of spring/summer wear was initiated in the first month of the selling season. This change in substitution procedures had a substantial impact on the index changes for apparel commodities in February and March. Combined with the warm weather of 1 The five areas are: the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NYNJ-CT, Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA); the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Trenton, PA-DE-NJ-MD CMSA, the ChicagoGary-Lake County, IL-IN-WI CMSA, the Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside, CA CMSA, and the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA CMSA. Apparel in the other 80 areas is priced on either an even or odd month cycle. The 80 areas are approximately evenly divided between the two cycles. Detailed information about these pricing cycles is provided in BLS Handbook o f Methods, chapter 19. 3 selected and compared with the prices of the previous year’s goods. In this sense, the procedural change brought about 1) a shift in the time frame in which the new seasonal items are introduced into the index (and therefore made the seasonal adjustment factors derived from previous years not strictly comparable); and 2) an improvement in the tracking of price change for apparel commodities. The index user should keep in mind that the same problems with seasonal adjustment factors will be noted in August and September 1990, when this year’s fall/winter lines of apparel are introduced and priced. In the past, the fall goods were priced for the first time in September and October as a rule. The new fall/winter apparel is expected to be priced this year beginning in August and September, again making the seasonal factors somewhat less comparable. When seasonal adjustment factors are calculated for 1991, this change in methodology will be treated as a seasonal shift in order to produce more appropriate seasonal factors. (See “ Interven tion Analysis in Seasonal Adjustment,” CPI Detailed Report March 1990.) To view this change in procedures from a different perspective, consider that long-term index movements are always more accurate and less volatile than short-term changes. In this light, it is interesting to compare the 12-month changes in the index for apparel commodities for February, March, and April of 1990 with the same periods since the 1987 revision of the CPI: Percent change in apparel index, 12 months ending— Month 1987 1988 1989 1990 February March April 2.0 4.3 5.7 3.8 4.3 5.0 4.6 4.3 3.3 4.4 5.3 4.8 In the context of the improved comparability that resulted from the change in procedures, this year’s increases are slightly higher but fairly close to those of recent years.

Each local index has a sm aller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other m easurem ent 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 S tatistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. 52 Table 12.

Each local index has a sm aller sam ple size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sam pling and other m easurem ent 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 S tatistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. 78 Table 19.

Apr. 1990 107 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 108 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 b l s 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 BT U ’S (Edison Electric Institute) 1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BT 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 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 ft2 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 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 b l s . 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 b l s 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 b l s 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 year— 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, 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 of 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). 110 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. 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 I ll
