A sharp turnaround in the energy com ponentdown at an 8.4-percent annual rate in the first 11 months of 1991 compared with a 20.2-percent annual rate of increase during the corresponding period in 1990—was primarily responsible for the deceleration. The other two groups—food and all items less food and energy—also rose more moderately during the first 11 months of 1991, increasing at annual rates of 1.7 and 4.5 percent, respectively. In 1990, the 11-month rates were 5.6 and 5.3 percent, respectively. The food and beverages index rose 0.4 percent in November. Grocery store food prices, which declined 0.3 percent in October, advanced 0.8 percent in November, largely as a result of a sharp turnaround in fruit and vegetable prices. The index for fresh fruits and vegetables rose 6.2 percent in November, reflecting supply shortages, in part attributable to whitefly infestations. In particular, prices for lettuce and tomatoes increased 44.5 and 12.7 percent, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases was another sharp drop in prices for oranges, down 17.1 percent in November, after declining 14.4 percent in October. Also contributing to the November grocery store food increase was an upturn in beef prices. Following de clines in each of the preceding 5 months, beef and veal prices rose 0.9 percent in November. The index for meats, poultry, fish and eggs, however, continued to fall—down (CPI-U) rose 0.3 percent before seasonal adjustment in November to a level of 137.8 (1982-84=100). For the 12-month period ended in November, the CPI-U increased 3.0 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also rose 0.3 percent in November prior to seasonal adjustment. The November 1991 CPI-W level of 135.8 was 2.7 percent higher than the index in November 1990. C P I f o r A ll U rb a n C o n s u m e rs (CPi-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.4 percent in November, following a 0.1-percent increase in October. Food prices, which declined 0.1 percent in October, in creased 0.6 percent in November, largely as a result of a sharp upturn in fresh fruit and vegetable prices. Energy costs advanced 0.8 percent in November, following a 0.2-percent rise in October. Increases in the indexes for motor fuel, fuel oil, and natural gas more than offset a decline in charges for electricity. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent in November. This follows a 0.1-percent increase in October and compares with an average monthly rate of increase of 0.4 percent through the first 10 months of this year. During the first 11 months of 1991, the CPI-U increased at a 2.9-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate. This com Table A.

Among other grocery store food groups, the indexes for cereal and bakery products and for dairy products each rose 0.4 percent in November. The remain ing two components of the food and beverage index— restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—increased 0.1 percent and declined 0.3 percent, respectively. The housing component increased 0.2 percent in November, following a 0.3-percent rise in October. Shelter costs rose 0.3 percent in November, the same as in October. Within shelter, renters’ costs increased 0.1 per cent and homeowners’ costs, 0.4 percent. Maintenance and repair costs, which declined 0.2 percent in October, rose 0.8 percent in November, largely as a result of a substantial advance in prices for maintenance and repair commodities. The index for household fuels and utilities increased 0.4 percent following a rise of 0.6 percent in October. Charges for electricity declined 0.7 percent in November, following a 1.2-percent increase in October. The indexes for fuel oil and natural gas, however, continued to advance. Fuel oil prices rose 5.0 percent in November and have increased 10.6 percent in the last 4 months. The index for natural gas registered its third consecutive increase in November, advancing 1.8 percent. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.1 percent in November. Transportation costs rose 0.5 percent in November after declining 0.2 percent in October. The indexes for motor fuels, new vehicles, and public transportation costs, each of which declined in October, turned up in November and accounted for over three-fourths of the overall transporta tion advance. Despite a 1.3-percent increase in November, gasoline prices were still 16.6 percent lower than their peak level of November 1990. New vehicle costs, which declined 0.3 percent in October, rose 0.2 percent in November. (As of November, the proportion of 1992 new car models in the index was just over 50 percent.)

The index for public transportation costs increased 1.4 percent in November, reflecting an upturn in the cost of airline fares. Despite the advance of 2.2 percent in November, airline fares were 5.2 percent lower than a year ago. The index for apparel and upkeep advanced 1.0 percent in November. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, the increase was 0.2 percent.) The index for women’s and girls’ clothing, which generally shows price discounting in November, increased slightly prior to seasonal adjustment. The index for apparel services fell 0.1 percent. The medical care component increased 0.5 percent in November to a level 8.0 percent above a year ago. The index for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 0.4 percent. Advancing 0.5 percent in November, prescription drug prices have risen 10.1 percent over the last 12 months. The index for medical care services advanced 0.5 percent, with the cost of professional services and hospital and related services up 0.5 and 0.6 percent, respectively. Entertainment costs, which rose 0.2 percent in October, decreased 0.1 percent in November. Declines in the in dexes for sporting goods and equipment, and for toys, hobbies, and other entertainment were partially offset by a 0.6-percent advance in the index for admissions to movies, theaters, concerts, and sporting events. The other goods and services index advanced 0.7 per cent in November, following increases of 0.5 percent in October and 0.7 percent in September. A 1.9-percent rise in the index for tobacco products accounted for nearly two-thirds of the November increase. C P I fo r U rb a n W a g e E a rn e rs a n d C le ric a l W o rk e rs (CPI-W) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.5 percent in Novem ber. 2 How to Use the Consumer Price Index For Escalation The CPI is a measure of the average change in the prices paid for a fixed market basket of consumer goods and services. As the most widely used measure of price movements, the CPI is often used in escalation agreements to adjust payments for changes in prices. The most frequently used escalation applications are in privatesector collective bargaining agreements, rental contracts, insurance policies with automatic inflation protection, and alimony and child support payments. The following are general guidelines to consider when developing an escalation agreement using the CPI: D E F IN E c le a r ly th e b a se paym ent (r e n t, w age r a te , a l i m o n y , c h i l d s u p p o r t , o r o t h e r v a l u e ) t h a t is s u b j e c t t o e s c a la tio n . IDENTIFY the precise CPI index that will be used to escalate the base payment. This should include: The population coverage (All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), or Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W)), area coverage (U.S. City Average, West Region, Chicago, etc.), series title (all items, residential rent, etc.), and index base period (1982-84=100). SPECIFY a reference period from which changes in the CPI will be measured. This is usually a single month (the CPI does not correspond to a specific day or week of the month) or an annual average. There is about a 2-week lag from the reference month to the date on which the index is released (e.g., the CPI for May is released in mid-June). The CPI’s for most metropolitan areas are not published as frequently as are the data for the U.S. City Average and the four regions. Indexes for the U.S. City Average, the four regions, and five major metropolitan areas (Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco) are published monthly. Indexes for the remaining 24 published metropolitan areas are available only on a bimonthly, semiannual, or annual basis. Contact the BLS address at the end of this article for information on the frequency of publication for the 29 metropolitan areas. STATE the frequency of adjustment. Adjustments are 3 usually made at fixed time intervals, such as quarterly, semiannually, or, most often, annually. d eter m in e the formula for the adjustment calculation. Usually the change in payments is directly proportional to the percent change in the CPI index between two specified time periods. Consider whether to make an allowance for a “cap” which places “an upper limit to the increase in wages, rents, etc., or a “floor” which promises a minimum increase regardless of the percent change (up or down) in the CPI. provide a built-in method for handling situations that may arise because of major CPI revisions or changes in the CPI index base period. The Bureau always provides timely notification of upcoming revisions or changes in the index base. In addition, the Bureau offers detailed technical assistance when transition to a new measure is necessary. T h e c p i a n d e s c a la tio n : s o m e p o in ts to c o n s id e r The CPI is calculated for two population groups: All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The CPI-U represents about 80 percent of the total U.S. population as of 1982-84 and is based on the expenditures of all families living in urban areas. The CPl-w is a subset of the CPI-U and is based on the expenditures of families living in urban areas who meet additional requirements related to employment: more than one-half of the family’s income has to be earned from clerical or hourly-wage occupations. The CPl-w re presents about 30 percent of the total U.S. population. There can be small differences in movement of the two indexes over short periods of time because of slight differences in the spending habits of the two population groups (resulting in slightly different weighting) as measured by BLS during the period 1982-84. The long-term change in the indexes is virtually identical. Both indexes are calculated using measurement of price change for the same set of goods and services with the same speciations and from the same retail outlets. The CPl-w is used for escalation primarily in blue-collar cost-of-living adjustments (COLA’s). Because the CPI-U is more compre hensive, it is used in most escalation agreements other than blue-collar cola ’s. The 29 local area indexes that BLS publishes are by-products of the U.S. City Average index. Local area indexes have a relatively small sample size, and, therefore, are subject to substantially more sampling errors. Local area indexes often exhibit greater volatility than the national index, although long-term trends remain quite similar. BLS strongly recommends that users adopt the U.S. City Average CPI for use in escalator clauses. The U.S. City Average CPI’s are published on a seasonally adjusted basis as well as on an unadjusted basis. The purpose of seasonal adjustment is to remove the estimated effect of price changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year (e.g., price movements due to the change in weather patterns, model change-overs, holidays, or end-of-season sales, etc.). The primary use of seasonally adjusted data is for current economic analysis. In addition, the factors that are used to seasonally adjust the data are updated annually and seasonally adjusted data that have been published earlier are subject to revision for up to 5 years after their original release. For these reasons, the use of seasonally adjusted data in escalation agreements is inappropriate. Escalation agreements using the CPI usually involve changing the base payment by the percent change in the level of the CPI between the reference period and a subsequent time period. This is calculated by first deter mining the index point change between the two periods and then the percent change. The following example illustrates the computation of percent change: CPI for current period Less CPI for previous period Equals index point change Divided by previous period CPI Equals Result multiplied by 100 Equals percent change 137.8 133.8 4.0 133.8 0.030 0.030 x 100 3.0 The Bureau of Labor Statistics neither encourages nor discourages the use of price adjustment measures in con tractual agreements. Also, while BLS can provide technical and statistical assistance to parties developing escalation agreements, we can neither develop specific wording for contracts nor mediate legal or interpretive disputes which might arise between the parties to the agreement. Accordingly, this article is intended as a general descrip tion only and does not carry the force of legal opinion. The Bureau has prepared a more comprehensive report on escalation entitled Using the Consumer Price Index fo r Escalation BLS (Report 761).

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 cfauses. 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. 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 are defined as the four Census regions. 3 Indexes on a December 1986=100 base. _ - 53 Table 18.

Regions are defined as the four Census regions. Deposit may be included in price. 96 Technical Notes Brief Explanation of the CPI 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. 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. 97 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. 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.

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 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 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 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 o il 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 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 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.) 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. 1 A complete technical presentation o f 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). 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. 99 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 aré 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 - i i -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, 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 100
