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 0.1 percent in November prior to seasonal adjustment. The November 1992 CPI-W level of 139.8 was 2.9 percent higher than the index in November 1991. slower rate of increase was largely a result of the modera tion in shelter costs. During the first 11 months of 1992, the CPI-U advanced at a 3.1-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate, the same as the increase in 1991. Thus far in 1992, food prices have risen at a 1.4-percent annual rate, energy at a 2.8-percent rate, and all items less food and energy at a 3.5-percent rate. The food and beverage index, which rose 0.1 percent in October, declined 0.1 percent in November. Grocery store food prices also declined 0.1 percent in November. An increase of 0.3 percent in the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs was more than offset by declines in each of the other four major grocery store food groups. Beef and poul try prices each rose 0.2 percent, while pork prices declined 0.2 percent. The index for fruits and vegetables declined for the second consecutive month despite another sharp in crease in tomato prices—up 56.3 percent in the past 2 months. The indexes for cereal and bakery products, dairy products, and other food at home were characterized by widespread price declines and fell 0.1,0.5, and 0.4 percent, respectively. The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic bevera ges—rose 0.1 and 0.3 percent, respectively. The housing component rose 0.2 percent in November, following a 0.4-percent increase in October. The slowdown in shelter costs—up 0.2 percent in November after CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.2 per cent in November, following an increase of 0.4 percent in October. Although each of the seven major expenditure groups contributed to the moderation, the shelter compo nent accounted for over half of the deceleration in the over all CPI-U. Partially offsetting this slowdown within the housing group was a larger increase in the index for house hold fuels—up 1.0 percent. This advance, coupled with the 0.6-percent increase in motor fuels, resulted in a 0.8-percent rise in the November energy index. Food prices, reflecting declines in most grocery store food groups were, on average, unchanged for the second consecutive month. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent in November after advancing 0.5 percent in October; the Table A.

Within shel ter, renters’ costs were unchanged, as a 0.4-percent increase in residential rent was offset by a decrease in the index for lodging while out of town. Homeowners’ costs and maintenance and repair costs rose 0.2 and 0.1 percent, respectively. The index for household fuels rose 1.0 per cent, largely as a result of a 3.4-percent rise in charges for natural gas. Following seasonal adjustment, the index for electricity rose 0.3 percent, while fuel oil prices declined 0.2 percent. The index for household furnishings and operation rose 0.1 percent, the same as in October. The transportation index rose 0.5 percent in November after advancing 0.6 percent in October. Over half of the November advance was due to an increase in public trans portation costs. Airline fares, which rose a record 7.9 per cent in October, increased 4.4 percent in November. Pri vate transportation costs rose 0.2 percent, largely as a result of a 0.7-percent increase in gasoline prices. Gasoline prices have increased 3.0 percent in the first 11 months of 1992, but remain 14.0 percent lower than their peak level of November 1990. New vehicle purchase costs declined slightly in November for the second consecutive month. The new vehicle index was unchanged and automobile finance charges fell 0.9 percent. (As of November, the pro portion of 1993 models was slightly over 50 percent of the new car sample.) The index for apparel and upkeep rose 0.1 percent in October Compound annual rate 3 months ended November 1992 November. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, the index declined 0.4 percent.) Price discounting for clothing in November was about the same as seasonally anticipated. Charges for apparel services rose 0.3 percent, the same as the average monthly rate for this component during the first 11 months of 1992. The medical care component rose 0.4 percent in November to a level 6.9 percent above a year ago. The index for medical care commodities rose 0.3 percent in November. The index for medical care services advanced 0.4 percent, with the cost of professional services and hospi tal and related services up 0.3 and 0.5 percent, respectively. Entertainment costs, which rose 0.2 percent in October, increased 0.1 percent in November. A 1.0-percent decline in admissions to movies, theaters, concerts, and sporting events was largely responsible for the further moderation. The index for other goods and services rose 0.3 percent in November, its smallest increase since June. The index for tobacco and smoking products, which had increased sharply in both September and October, declined 0.3 per cent in November. 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 0.2 percent in November. 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 * Percent changes over 12-month spans are calculated from unadjusted data.

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.

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 BLSHandbook o f 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 C PI’s 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 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 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 différence Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change 95 4.0 108.5 0.037 0.037x 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 diffferent 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 P I) 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 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 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 chosen method is operationally feasible.1 The 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 -llARIM 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 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-11-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-11-ARIMA. For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this proce 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. 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, new trucks, and new vehicles, this procedure was used to offset the effects of changes in marketing strate gies and the introduction of new models. For the tobacco and smoking products index, this procedure was used to offset the effects of increases in excise taxes and wholesale tobacco prices. For some alcoholic beverage series, intervention was used to offset the effects of excise tax increases. An alternative to the intervention-adjusted X -llARIM A procedure is the state space model-based seasonal adjustment method. This method adjusts simul taneously for interventions and seasonal effects, rather than sequentially as in the X-11-ARIMA methodology, using structural statistical models with explanatory variables. The state space structural model-based method of seasonal adjustment was introduced in 1992 for the adjustment of January 1991-December 1991 indexes for three women’s apparel series: Dresses, Separates and sportswear, and Suits. A description of intervention analysis, as well as a list of events treated as interventions and seasonal factors for Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Because price data are used for different purposes by different 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 also are used extensively for escalation 1A complete technical presentation of BLS research on this subject is available in William C.

CPI on electronic bulletin board BAUD RATE: 300-2400 bps DATA BITS: 8 STOP BITS: 1 PARITY: NONE FULL DUPLEX TERM INAL TYPE: ANSI, VT100, or ANSI-BBS A limited amount of CPI information is currently avail able via the Department of Labor’s electronic bulletin board system (BBS). The data is accessable for download ing free of charge at virtually anytime to any person who has a personal computer with a modem and communica tions software. The phone number for the BBS is (202) 219-4784. Included on the “Labor News” BBS are all items indexes for the CPI-U and CPI-W for both the U.S. city average and the Washington, D.C. area from 1980 to the present. Also included on the BBS are average prices for the U.S. from 1990 to the present for natural gas, electric ity, fuel oil, and gasoline ( all types, unleaded regular, and unleaded premium). More indexes or average prices may be added in the future. The BBS is set to use the most common personal com puter parameters. Users should set their communication software to the following: The “Labor News" BBS is divided into different sec tions, or “Libraries,” with the one containing CPI infor mation being CPIIN FO . “Labor News” is a menu-driven BBS.
