Price M ovem ents N ovem ber 1994 The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.1 percent before seasonal adjustment in November to a level of 149.7 (1982-84=100). For the 12month period ended in November, the CPI-U increased 2.7 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 0.2 percent in Novem ber, prior to seasonal adjustment. The November 1994 CPIW level of 147.3 was 2.7 percent higher than the index in November 1993. (See table A.) increased at a annual rate of 2.1 percent and energy costs at a 2.8-percent rate. The year-to-date annual rate for the in dex for all items less food and energy thus far in 1994 was 2.8 percent. This follows a 3.2-percent increase in all of 1993 and continues the moderating pattern evident in this component since 1990. The food and beverage index rose 0.2 percent in No vember. Grocery store food prices, which declined 0.1 per cent in October, increased 0.1 percent in November. The indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs and for other food at home, which fell in October, increased 0.1 and 0.3 per cent, respectively, in November and accounted for the up turn in the grocery store food index. Price declines for beef and poultry were more than offset by increases in the in dexes for pork, eggs, and fish and seafood. The indexes for dairy products and for fruits and vegetables also registered small increases in November, advancing 0.2 and 0.3 per cent, respectively. A substantial rise in fresh vegetable prices was largely offset by a decline in the indexes for processed fruits and vegetables. The index for fresh fruits was unchanged. The index for cereal and bakery products declined for the second consecutive month—down 0.2 per cent in November. The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic bever ages—rose 0.3 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.3 per cent in November, following an increase of 0.1 percent in October. The larger advance in November was primarily the result of an upturn in the energy index, which rose 0.7 percent after declining 0.7 percent in each of the preceding 2 months. The food index also contributed to the larger advance in the overall CPI-U, increasing 0.2 percent in November after registering no change in October. The CPI-U excluding food and energy increased 0.2 percent in November, the same as in each of the preceding 2 months. During the first 11 months of 1994, the CPI-U rose at a 2.7-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR), the same as the increase for all of 1993. The food index has Table A.

Shelter costs, which increased 0.2 percent in October, rose 0.3 percent in November. Within shelter, rent ers’ costs rose 0.3 percent; homeowners’ costs, 0.4 percent; and maintenance and repair costs, 0.3 percent. The index for fuel and other utilities turned up in November, advanc ing 0.5 percent after registering declines in each of the 2 preceding months. The index for household fuels rose 0.8 percent, reflecting increases in the indexes for each of the three major fuels. The index for fuel oil, which had de clined 3.3 percent during the preceding 2 months, increased 0.2 percent in November. The indexes for natural gas and electricity rose 0.8 and 0.9 percent, respectively. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, charges for electricity fell 1.7 percent, reflecting the change to off-season rates in some areas.) The index for other utilities and public services rose 0.1 percent in November, as increases in the indexes for water and sewerage maintenance, refuse collection, and cable television more than offset a 0.1-percent decline in the in dex for telephone services. The 0.4-percent increase in charges for cable television was its first advance in 8 months. During the 11-month period ended in November, these charges have fallen 3.0 percent. The index for house hold furnishings and operation fell 0.2 percent as a slight increase in the index for house furnishings was more than offset by price declines for most housekeeping supplies and services. The transportation index, which decreased slightly in October, increased 0.1 percent in November, largely as a result of an upturn in the index for motor fuels. The index for gasoline, which had declined in each of the preceding 2 months, rose 0.6 percent in November. Thus far in 1994, gasoline prices have increased 6.3 percent. Despite this ad vance, gasoline prices are 14.3 percent lower than their October Compound annual rate, 3 months ended November 1994 0 peak level in December 1990. Also contributing to the No vember transportation advance were increases in the in dexes for automobile finance charges, automoble insur ance, and used cars. Automobile finance charges continued to increase, advancing 1.5 percent in November and 18.5 percent thus far in 1994. Used car prices rose 1.4 percent in November, the same as in October, and have increased 6.7 percent in the past 11 months. The index for automobile insurance costs increased 0.7 percent in November. Par tially offsetting the above mentioned increases were de creases in the indexes for public transportation and new vehicles. The index for public transportation declined for the third consecutive month—down 2.1 percent in Novem ber—reflecting another drop in airline fares. The index for airline fares fell 4.2 percent in November and have de clined 7.7 percent since August. The index for new ve hicles, which was unchanged in October, declined 0.3 per cent in November. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, prices for new vehicles rose 0.7 percent in both October and Novem ber. As of November, the proportion of 1995 models in the index was about 55 percent of the new car sample.) The index for apparel and upkeep declined for the fifth consecutive month, down 0.2 percent in November. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, clothing prices fell 0.9 percent.) Medical care costs, which rose 0.6 percent in October, increased 0.3 percent in November and are 4.8 percent higher than a year earlier. The index for medical care com modities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 0.4 percent in November. The in dex for medical care services rose 0.3 percent, with charges for professional services and hospital and related services up 0.4 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively. The entertainment index advanced 0.7 percent in No vember, following increases of 0.1 percent in each of the preceding 2 months. Substantial increases were recorded in 2 the indexes for sporting goods and equipment and for fees for participant sports. The index for other goods and services rose 0.4 percent in November, the same as in October. The index for personal expenses—which includes charges for legal and financial services and funeral expenses—rose 0.5 per cent. The index for tobacco and smoking products in creased 0.1 percent 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 0.3 percent in November. 3 CPI-U 12-month changes, 1985 to present Percent Percent 4 Improvements to CPI Procedures Effective with the release of data for January 1995, on February 15, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will introduce several technical improvements in the calculation of the Consumer Price Index designed to make the index a more accurate measure of price change. These improvements, which stem from findings of research conducted by BLS staff, will affect the food-at-home, shelter, and prescription drug components of the CPI. The change to the food-at-home component improves the outlet sample rotation process. (Approximately 20 per cent of CPI outlet samples are updated annually.) Empiri cal evidence has established that current procedures for the routine introduction of new samples tend to overstate price change for the newly sampled items immediately follow ing their introduction. Because the food-at-home compo nent of the index is particularly sensitive to this effect, new measures designed to lessen its impact will be used in the calculation of the food-at-home component beginning with January 1995 data. In addition, two changes are being made in the way in which the shelter component of the CPI is calculated. First, the imputation formula for estimating owners’ equivalent rent, which relies upon a matching of a sample of residen tial rental units to a sample of homeowner units, will be improved. Second, additional BLS research has indicated that current procedures, both for residential rent and for owners’ implicit rent, tend to understate the short-term rent change. Beginning with data for January 1995, BLS will incorporate an improved estimate. Research on this issue will continue during the course of the upcoming CPI revi sion, and, if this research yields further improvements in the estimates of rent changes, they will be incorporated into the index as part of the revision effort. Finally, the procedure for handling the introduction into the index of generic versions of formerly patented drugs into the index will be changed. The current practice of di rectly comparing the prices of patented and generic drugs only when the patented drug is no longer available in the sampled outlet will be changed. A new procedure, which will reflect the rate at which consumers switch their pur chases from patented to generic versions of a drug, will be employed beginning with CPI data for January 1995. The basic research papers on these topics are available from the BLS by calling (202) 606-7000. These changes are explained more fully in the CPI Detailed Report for October 1994. 5 Table 1.

Data not available. R Revised. 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.

Data not available. R Revised. 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.

Northeast 95 Technical Notes B rie f E x p la n a tio n o f th e C P I 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 A ll 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 per cent of the total population. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as profes sional, 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, fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’ services, medicine, 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—department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, gasoline stations and other types of stores and services establishments. A ll taxes direct ly 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 telephone calls from 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 ap propriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also pub lished by size of city, by region of country, for cross-classifi cations 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. 96 The indexes measure price change from a designated ref erence date, usually 1982-84, which equals 100.0. An in crease 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. C a lc u la tin g In d e x C h a n g e s 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 per cent 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 in dicate 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 4.0 108.5 0.037 0.037 x 100 3.7 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 ser vices, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are the upper and lower limits of the bill sizes priced for the Con sumer 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 cal culated 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-condi tioning requirements vary by geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it cannot be inferred that these con sumption amounts represent those used by a typical residen E n e rg y P ric e s Prices are usually available for the U.S. city average, 15 large metropolitan areas, the four census regions, four size classifications, and 13 areas reflecting the four Census re gions cross-classified by the 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 desig nation NA appears. This designation also appears 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 w ill be published. A ll 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. C e n s u s R e g io n s 97 tial 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 electric ity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index. change in quality resulting from the effect of aging on rental housing. In January 1987, the Bureau announced its inten tion to begin making such adjustments, assuming that fur ther research substantiated the need to do so. The decision to implement the adjustment was based on extensive BLS re search, in which alternative adjustment methods were ex plored and tested. Evaluation of the research indicates that an aging effect exists, and that the chosen method is opera tionally 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. Ex isting 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 correct for de terioration in the condition of housing unit.2 The aging adjustment method was specifically designed to correct for quality changes associated with this deteriora tion. 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 statisti cal 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 oth er housing unit characteristics were held constant. The esti mated relationship was then used to construct the aging ad justment. Estimates w ill be recomputed annually by using the previous year’s BLS housing survey data and the most recently available Census data. 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. Approximate British Termal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: 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). F o o d P ric e s In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are cal culated each month at the national level and for the four Cen sus 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 w ill help satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted that the average prices for food in this report reflect variations in brand, qual ity, and size among geographic areas. Users of average food prices should be aware that these differences exist. Because a number of food commodities are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices w ill 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 appears. When a price is not available from an individual store in any month, as estimated price w ill be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. In cases where the pro portion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price is not published and NA appears 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. S e a s o n a lly A d ju s te d a n d U n a d ju s te d D a ta Because price data are used for different purposes by differ ent groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes season ally 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. 1A complete technical presentation of BLS researchonthis subject is available in William C. Randolph, “Housing Depreciation andAging Bias in the Consumer Price Index,” BLS Working Paper No. 166, April 1987, and Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, Vol. 6, No. 3, July 1988, pp. 359-71 andin William C.

A d ju s tm e n t o f S h e lte r In d e x e s fo r A g in g E ffe c ts Beginning with January 1988 CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjusts the monthly CPI shelter indexes for the 98 The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data also are used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consum er Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation. In most cases, seasonal factors used in computing the sea sonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X - ll- ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated seasonal data at theendof 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subse quent annual updates have replaced 5 years of seasonal data, for example, 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 combining the seasonal movement of 60 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statis tical criteria. Occasionally, a component changes its seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted. When this occurs, not seasonally adjusted data are used for the last 5 years, but before that period the seasonally adjusted indexes remain in calculations of higher-level sea sonally adjusted indexes. 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 -ll-A R IM A for some CPI series. In tervention 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 -ll-A R IM A . For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this procedure was used to offset the effects that extreme price volatility would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally ad justed data for those series. For some women’s apparel in dexes 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 -llARIMA procedure is the state space model-based seasonal adjustment method. This method adjusts simultaneously for interventions and seasonal effects, rather than sequentially as in the X -ll-A R IM A methodology, using structural statis tical models with explanatory variables. The state space structural model-based method of seasonal adjustment was introduced in 1992 for the adjustment of January 1991December 1991 indexes for three women’s apparel series: Dresses, separates and sportswear, and suits.
