For the 12-month period ended in May, the CPI-U increased 3.2 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 1993 CPI-W level of 141.9 was3.1 percent higher than the index in May 1992. pares with an increase of 2.9 percent in 1992. Thus far in 1993, the food index has increased at a 3.5-percent annual rate, and the index for all items excluding food and energy at a 4.1-percent rate. The energy index in May was at the same level as in December 1992. The food and beverage index rose 0.4 percent in May, the same as in April. Grocery store food prices rose 0.6 per cent, their largest increase since a 0.9-percent rise last Au gust. Over 70 percent of the May advance in the food at home component was the result of a 3.5-percent increase in the index for fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruit prices rose 1.4 percent, their first increase in 6 months. Fresh veg etable prices, which have increased sharply since mid-1992, rose 5.7 percent in May, in part reflecting a 48.2percent jump in prices for tomatoes. On the other hand, the index for processed fruits and vegetables—down 0.9 per cent in May—has declined in 8 of the last 9 months. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, which rose 1.1 per cent in April, increased 0.1 percent in May; a sharp drop in egg prices—down 2.4 percent in May after advancing 8.1 percent in April—was the primary factor. The advance in meat prices, which has been a major factor in the accelera tion in the food component in 1993, continued in May, but by less than in April. Beef and pork prices rose 0.4 and 0.3 percent, respectively, in May. Poultry prices, however, jumped 1.0 percent. The other three major grocery store CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.1 per cent in May after advancing 0.4 percent in April. The mod eration in May reflects a downturn in the energy index and a smaller increase in the index for all items less food and energy. Food costs rose 0.4 percent for the second consecu tive month, largely as a result of an increase in prices for fresh fruits and vegetables. The 1.0-percent decline in the energy index reflects a drop p gasoline prices that more than offset a small increase in household fuel costs. Exclud ing food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent in May af ter advancing 0.4 percent in April. Declines in the indexes for apparel and upkeep and entertainment, coupled with a much smaller increase in shelter costs, were responsible for this slowdown. During the first 5 months of 1993 the CPI-U advanced at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.8 percent. This com Table A.

Used car prices, however, continued to advance sharply—up 0.8 percent in May and 9.1 percent in the past 12 months. The index for public transportation turned back up in May, following declines in each of the preceding 2 months, as a result of a 2.4-per cent increase in airline fares. The index for apparel and upkeep, which was un changed in April, declined 0.5 percent in May, reflecting larger than usual sales on spring-summer clothing. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, clothing prices declined 1.5 per cent in May.) The medical care component rose 0.8 percent in May to a level 6.3 percent above a year ago. The index for medical care commodities rose 0.4 percent, reflecting an increase in prices for nonprescription drugs and medical care sup plies.

The index for other goods and services rose 0.7 percent in May, following a 0.5-percent rise in April. Prices for to bacco and smoking products continued to advance, in creasing 0.4 percent in May and 4.3 percent through the first 5 months of 1993. Legal service fees rose 3.2 percent in May.

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. 1 Foods, fuels, and several other items priced every month in all areas; most other goods and services priced as indicated: M - Every month. 1 - January, March, May, July, September, and November. 2 - February, April, June, August, October, and December. 2 Regions defined as the four Census regions.

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 of Methods, BLS Bulletin 2414, September 1992 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 CPFs for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approxi mately 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 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 that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from about 57,000 housing units and approximately 19,000 retail establishments —depart ment stores, supermarkets, hospitals, gasoline 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 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 either personal visits or tele phone calls from the Bureau’s trained representatives. Some data, such as used car prices, are obtained from sec ondary 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 com bined 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 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 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 95 4.0 108.5 0.037 0. 0 37x 100 3.7 Energy Prices Approximate British Termal 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 region cross-classified by four population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for exmaple, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South and West. Where no average price are available, the desig nation 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 pub lished city or region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be published. All prices arer collected monthly by BLS representa tives in the urban area 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 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 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 commoditiates 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, as 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 consumpation amount, but may also be calculated from different types of residential rate schedules. The average price 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 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 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, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index. Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging Effects Beginning with January 1988 CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjust 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 exten sive BLS research, in which alternative adjustment methods were explored and tested. Evaluation of the research indicates that an aging effect exists, and that the 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. 96 chosen method is operationally feasible.1The adjustment affect 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 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 cor rect for deterioration in the condition of housing unit.2 The aging adjustment method was specifically designed to correct for quality changes associated with this deterio ration. The BLS used hedonic regression methods to estimate the aging effect. The estimates were then used to correct the CPI rent and rental equivalence indexes. Hedonic regressions are statis tical functions that relate the price of a good to its attributes or characteristics. For example, a hedonic regression re lates 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 betweeen a housing unit’s rent and age while other housing unit characteristics were held con stant. The estimated relationship was then used to con struct 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. purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation. In most cases, seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X -llARIMA 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 1987 through 1991 were replaced at the end of 1991. The seasonal movement of all items and 47 other aggregations is derived by combin ing the seasonal movement of 60 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 60 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally ad justed to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years, but the seasonally ad justed 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 in conjunction with X -l 1-ARIMA 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 in X -l 1-ARIMA. Seasonally Adjusted and For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this proce Unadjusted Data dure was used to offset the effects that extreme price volatil ity would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally adjusted data for those series.
