For the 12-month period ended in October, the CPI-U increased 4.5 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also increased 0.5 percent in October prior to seasonal adjustment. The October 1989 CPI-W level of 124.2 was 4.5 percent higher than the index in October 1988. CPI for All Urban Consumers September, advanced 0.5 percent in October, their largest increase since May of this year. The index for fruits and vegetables rose 1.2 percent in October after declining 1.1 percent in September. Sharp increases in prices for fresh fruits, especially apples and bananas, offset a decline in prices for fresh vegetables. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs declined 0.2 percent in October after moderate increases in the past 2 months. Increases in prices for pork were more than offset by price decreases for poultry, fish and seafood, and eggs. The index for cereal and bakery products rose 0.3 percent in October following a 0.4-percent increase in September and sharp advances in the first 8 months of the year. The index for dairy products rose sharply for the second consecutive month—up 1.8 percent in October, its largest advance since May 1980. The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—rose 0.2 and 0.3 percent, respectively. The housing component rose 0.4 percent in October following a 0.1-percent increase in September. The increase was mainly attributable to the 0.5-percent increase in shelter costs in October. Within shelter, renters’ costs increased 0.6 percent, and homeowners costs, 0.4 percent, while main tenance repair costs were unchanged. The index for house hold fuels and other utilities rose 0.1 percent in October, the same as in September. Charges for electricity fell 0.3 percent, while prices for fuel oil and natural gas rose 3.5 and 1.6 percent, respectively. The index for other utilities and public services dropped 0.4 percent, reflecting a decline of 0.8 percent in telephone services. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.3 percent in October. (cpi-u) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the c p i -u rose 0.5 percent in October, the largest monthly increase since May. Advances in the housing and transportation components accounted for more than half of the October increase in the overall index. The transportation index turned up in October, largely as a result of price increases for gasoline, new vehicles, and automobile finance charges. The index for food and beverages rose 0.4 percent in October, reflecting a sharp turnaround in fruit and vegetable prices. Apparel prices rose sharply for the second consecutive Month—up 1.0 percent in October—but by less than in September. The medical care component continued to register large monthly advances. During the first 10 months of 1989 the CPI-U advanced at a 4.6-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate. This compares with a 4.4-percent increase for the 12-month period ended in December 1988. The food and beverage index rose 0.4 percent in October. Grocery store food prices, which increased 0.1 percent in Table A.

The increase was largely due to a 0.9-percent increase in gasoline prices. These prices had declined 9.3 percent in the preceding 4 months after increasing 21.2 percent in the first 5 months of 1989. Also contributing to the October transportation increase was a rise in automobile purchase costs. The new car index increased 0.6 percent in October after registering 5 consecutive monthly declines. (The 1990 models were included in the CPI for the first time in October and represented a little over one quarter of the new car sample. They will continue to be phased in over the next several months as new models replace the old at dealerships. For a report on quality changes for the 1990 cars, see Producer Price Indexes Data for October 1989, page 4.) Automobile finance charges jumped 1.3 percent after registering declines in each of the 4 preceding months. Used car prices, however, continued their decline in October. The index for public transportation increased 0.4 percent in October as a 0.8-percent rise in airline fares more than offset a decline in the index for other intercity transportation costs. The index for apparel and upkeep—up 1.0 percent in October—increased 2.8 percent in the past 2 months following the introduction of higher priced fall and winter merchandise. Charges for apparel declined 0.3 percent in October.

The index for medical care services advanced 0.7 percent, with the cost of professional services and hospital and related services up 0.5 and 0.9 percent, respectively. Entertainment costs rose 0.5 percent in October following an increases of 0.4 percent in September. The index for entertainment commodities rose 0.6 percent primarily as a result of a 1.3-percent increase in the index for sporting goods and equipment. Within entertainment services, fees for club memberships rose in October after declining in September, while charges for admissions (to movies, theaters, concerts, operas, and other musical events, and sporting events) were unchanged after sharp increases during the summer months. The index for other goods and services increased 0.5 percent in October after recording a 0.3-percent decline in September.

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. 50 Table 12.

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. 76 Table 19.

Technical Notes Brief Explanation of the CPI The indexes measures 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 of Methods, BLS Bulletin 2285, April 1988, and The Consumer Price Index: 1987 Revision, BLS Report 736, January 1987. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes CPI’s for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which covers 32 percent of the toal population. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the selfemploted, 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 ares 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, prices 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. Seperat eindexes are also published by size of city, by region of country, for cross calculations of regions and population-size classes, and for 27 local areas. Area indexes do not measure difference in the level of prices among cities, they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period. Calculating Index Changes Movements of the indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points, because index point changes are effected by the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box illustrates the computatin 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 106 4.0 108.5 0.037 0.037 x 100 3.7 Energy Prices Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: Price are usually available for the U.S. city average, 28 large urban areas, and 16 areas reflecting the four Census regions cross-classified by four population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for example, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South and West. Where no average prices are available, the designation 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 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 B T U ’S (U.S. Department of Energy). 1 kwh = 3,412 BT U ’S (Edison Electric Institute) 1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 B T U ’S (U.S. Department of Energy). Food Prices In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are cal culated each month at the national level and for the four Census geographic regions. As a result of changes in price collection methodology and sample sizes, average prices for individual cities cannot in general be produced. It is hoped, however, that regional average prices will help satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted that the average food prices in this report reflect variations in brand, quality, and size among geographic areas. Users of average food prices should be aware that these differences exist. Because a number of food commoditites are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will not appear in some months for some regions or for the U.S. city average. In other instances, sufficient prices may not be available due to temporary disruptions in supplies. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA will appear. When a price is not available from an individual store in any month, an estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. In cases where the proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price will not be published and NA will appear for that item in the table. Because of space limitations in the table, the description for each item is abbreviated. More detailed specifications are available from the BLS regional offices or from the Washington office upon request. Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported in therms, which are a measure of heating value. Electricity prices are given in kilowatt hours (kwh). For both utility services, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are the upper and lower limits of the bill sizes priced for the Consumer Price Index. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are calculated from bills priced within these ranges. It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI are not only for different consumption amounts, but may also be calculated from different types of residential rate schedules. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally suitable for use in placeto-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table PI) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Since heating and airconditioning requirements vary by geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it cannot be inferred that these consumption amounts represent those used by a typical residential consumer. These bills are used merely to track price changes over time for constant amounts of consumption, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index. Reference Base Change Beginning with the release of data for January 1988 in February 1988, most Consumer Price Indexes have shifted to a new reference base year. All indexes previously expressed on a base of 1967 = 100, or any other base through December 1981, have been rebased to 1982-84 = 100. Only indexes with a base later than December 1981 have maintained their bases. This base change was reviewed by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, Office of Management and Budget, and is in keeping with the Government’s longstanding policy to update index bases periodically. Selection of the 1982-84 period was made to coincide with the updated expenditure weights, which are based upon data tabulated from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys for 1982, 1983, and 1984. The last rebasing of CPI data occurred in Fuel oil. Only #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. 107 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. 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 BLS 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 rebase the related index series from its current 1982-84 base to its previous reference base. (Users should note: Because of rounding effects, there may be occasional minor differences between the final rebased index and the result obtained using the conversion factor.) Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging Effects 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 y e a rsuch as price movements resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data are also used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation. Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the x -11-a r i m a Seasonal Adjustment Method. Annual updates replace 5 years of seasonal data; e.g., data from 1983 through 1987 were replaced at the end of 1987. The seasonal movement of all-items index and 43 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 50 selected components. Each year, the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 50 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, unadjusted data adjusted will be used for the last 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period. 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 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 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 N o. 166, April 1987, and forthcoming Journal o f Business and Economic Statistics, and in W illiam C. Randolph, ’’Estimation o f Housing Depreciation: Short Term Quality Change and Long Term Vintage E ffects,” BLS Working Paper N o. 160, April 1986, and forthcoming, Journal o f Urban Economics. These papers are available from the BLS on request. 2 For details on existing quality adjustment methods, see, BLS Handbook o f Methods, chapter 19 (BLS Bulletin 2285). 108
