The difference between these rates is largely at tributable to the price movements in the 3-month period from August through October. The C P I-U increased at an 8.9-percent rate during this 3-month period in 1990, prin cipally due to the acceleration in energy prices. In 1989, energy prices declined in the August-to-October period and the C P I-U advanced at a much lower rate—2 .9 percent. The food and beverage index rose 0.3 percent in October, the same as in September. Larger increases in the indexes for grocery store foods and food away from home were off set by a smaller rise in the index for alcoholic beverages. The grocery store food index advanced 0.5 percent in Oc tober. A 0 .1 -percent drop in fruit and vegetable prices was more than offset by larger increases in each o f the other grocery store food groups. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, which rose 0 .2 percent in September, advanced 0 .8 percent in October. Prices for pork and eggs increased 2 .0 and 5 .0 percent, respectively, in October after declin ing in September. This turnaround more than offset a decline in poultry prices and smaller increases in the indexes for beef and fish and seafood. The index for dairy products also advanced 0.8 percent in October, following a 0.2-percent rise in the preceding month. The other two components o f the food and beverages indexes—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages— increased 0.3 and 0.2 percent, respectively, in October. The housing component rose 0.3 percent in October after increasing 0 .4 percent in September. For the second con secutive month, shelter costs rose 0.1 percent. Within shelter, a 0.3-percent increase in renters’ cost more than offset declines The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.6 percent before seasonal adjustment in October to a level o f 133.5 (1 9 8 2 -8 4 = 1 0 0 ). For the 12-month period ended in October, the C P I-U increased 6.3 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (C P I-W ) increased 0.6 percent in October prior to seasonal adjustment. The October 1990 C P I-W level o f 131.9 was 6.2 percent higher than the index in October 1989. CPI for All Urban Consumers On a seasonally adjusted basis, the C P I-U rose 0 .6 per cent in October. This compares with increases o f 0.8 per cent in both August and September. For the third consecutive month, advances in petroleum-based energy prices accounted for about one-half of the rise in the overall CPI-U. The October increases in the indexes for fuel oil and motor fuel—up 12.8 and 7.7 percent, respectively—were slightly less than in each o f the preceding 2 months. The food index, which increased 0.2 percent in September, rose 0.4 percent in October. Ex cluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent, the same as in September. A decline in apparel prices coupled with small increases in entertainment and shelter costs offset larger gains in the indexes for other goods and services and medical care. During the first 10 months o f 1990, the C P I-U advanced at a 6.7-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate. This com pares with a 4.7-percent rate during the corresponding period Table A.

The index for household fuels and utilities registered its third consecutive large increase-—up 1.2 percent in October—largely as a result o f the continued rise in fuel oil prices. The index for fuel oil, which increased 12.8 percent in October, has risen 50.8 percent in the past 3 months. Among other fuels, charges for electricity increased 0.5 percent in October, while the index for natural gas declined 0.2 percent. The index for other utilities and public services rose 0.4 percent, largely as a result o f an increase in charges for local telephone ser vices. Cable television charges declined for the second con secutive month—down 0.5 percent in October—but have risen 12.1 percent in the past 12 months. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.4 percent in Oc tober, the same as in September. Transportation costs rose 2.1 percent in October with about four-fifths o f the increase due to the continued advance for motor fuels. The index for gasoline, which rose 7.7 percent in October, has increased 26.9 percent in the past 3 months and 36.9 percent in the first 10 months of this year. As o f October, the gasoline index was 4.3 percent above its previous peak level in March 1981. A lso contributing to the October transportation increase was a rise in automobile purchase costs. The new car index rose 0.5 percent in October, only its second increase in the past 9 months. (As o f October, the proportion o f prices for 1991 models in the index was about 37.1 percent o f the new car sample. They will con tinue 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 1991 cars, see Producer Price Indexes Data fo r O ctober 1990, p. 4.) Automobile finance charges jumped 1.8 percent in October, but are still 2.5 percent lower than August 0.8 .3 .6 -.2 1.9 .9 .3 .6 S eptem ber 0.8 .3 .5 .8 2.6 .5 .6 -.1 O ctober 0.7 .3 .4 -.5 2.2 .8 .2 .5 C om pound annual rate 3-months ended O ctober 1990 12-months ended O ctober 1990 9.7 3.7 6.2 .3 30.1 9.6 4.3 3.8 6.2 5.6 4.7 4.2 10.0 9.0 4.2 7.5 at the end o f 1989. Used car prices, however, continued their decline in October. Their 0.3-percent drop brought their index to a level that was 1.4 percent lower than in December 1989. The index for public transportation rose 1.8 percent in October, largely as a result o f a 2.7-percent increase in airline fares. The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.2 percent in October. The October decrease reflects seasonally adjusted declines in most apparel com m odities, other than m en’s ap parel. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, clothing prices rose 1.4 percent in October.) The medical care component advanced 0.8 percent in O c tober to 9.4 percent above a year ago. The index for medical care com m odities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 0 .6 percent. The index for medical services advanced 0 .9 percent, with the cost o f professional services and hospital and related services up 0.5 and 1.3 percent, respectively. Entertainment costs rose 0.1 percent in October, their smallest increase this year. Declines in fees for club member ships and charges for admissions to m ovies, theaters, con certs, and sporting events partially offset increases in other entertainment components. The other goods and services component rose 0 .6 percent in October, following a 0.2-percent decline in September. A turnaround in the index for personal and educational ser vices accounted for the advance. 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 0.7 percent in October. 2 Chart 1. c p i -U: All items, food and beverages, 1979-90 * Percent changes over 12-month spans are calculated from unadjusted data.

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 measure price change from a designated reference date, 1982-84, which equals 100.0. An increase o f 7 percent, for example, is shown as 107.0. This change can also be expressed in dollars as follows: The price o f a base period “ market basket” o f goods and services in the CPI has risen from $100 in 1982-84 to $107. For further details, see BLS H andbook o f M ethods, BLS Bulletin 2285, April 1988, and The Consumer P rice Index: 198 7 R evision, BLS Report 736, January 1987. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure o f the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket o f goods and services. The Bureau o f Labor Statistics publishes C PI’ s for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent o f the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W ) which covers 32 percent o f 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 o f 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 5 7 ,000 housing units and approximately 19,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other types o f stores and services establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use o f items are included in the index. Prices o f food, fuel, and a few other items are obtained every month in all 85 locations. Prices o f most other commodities and services are collected every month in the five largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices o f most goods and services are obtained by personal visits o f 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 o f the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U .S . city average. Seperate indexes are also published by size o f city, by region o f country, for cross-classifications o f regions and population-size classes, and for 29 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level o f prices among cities, they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period. Calculating Index Changes Movements o f 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 o f the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box illustrates the computation o f 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 follow s, 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 o f 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 w iil 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 TU ’S (U .S. Department o f Energy). 1 kwh = 3,412 B TU ’S (Edison Electric Institute) 1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 B TU ’S (U .S. Department o f 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 o f 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 o f average food prices should be aware that these differences exist. Because a number o f food commoditites are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices w ill not appear in some months for som e 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 m issing item and used in computing the average price. In cases where the proportion o f estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price will not be published and n a will appear for that item in the table. Because o f 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 W ashington office upon request. N atural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported in therms, which are a measure o f 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 o f 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 o f residential rate schedules. The average prices p e r therm and p e r kilow att hour are n ot, therefore, generally suitable f o r use in p laceto-place p ric e com parisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms o f natural gas for 500 kilowatt hours o f electricity (table PI) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation o f 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 tim e for constant amounts o f consumption, and to provide continuity with prices o f natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index. Reference Base Change Beginning with the release o f 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 o f 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 O ffice o f Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, O ffice o f Management and Budget, and is in keeping with the G overnm ent’s longstanding policy to update index bases periodically. Selection o f 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 o f 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 o f full service, m ini-service, and self-serve gas stations. 107 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 o f Labor Statistics. For the convenience o f users, the b ls w ill continue to publish all items indexes for the U .S. city average, and for the individual local areas for which C PI’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 o f these factors w ill rebase the related index series from its current 1982-84 base to its previous reference base. (Users should note: Because o f rounding effects, there may be occasional minor differences between the final rebased index and the result obtained using the conversion factor.) The estimates were then used to correct the CPI rent and rental equivalence indexes. Hedonic regressions are statistical functions that relate the price o f a good to its attributes or characteristics. For exam ple, 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 o f 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. Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging Effects Beginning with the January 1988 CPI, the Bureau o f Labor Statistics adjusted the monthly CPI shelter indexes for the change in quality resulting from the effect o f 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 o f the research indicates that an aging effect exists, and that the chosen method is operationally feasib le.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 o f a housing unit decreases as the unit ages. Existing b ls methods are used to correct for relatively easily measured quality changes such as the addition o f an extra bedroom, but such methods are inadequate to correct for deterioration in the condition o f 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. Because price data are used for different purposes by dif ferent groups, the Bureau o f Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted as w ell as unadjusted changes each month. For analyzing general price trends in the econom y, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect o f 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 o f primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data are 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 - H - a r im a Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated seasonal data at the end o f 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent annual updates have replaced 5 years o f seasonal data, e .g ., data from 1985 through 1989 were replaced at the end o f 1989. The seasonal movement o f all items and 45 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal m ovement o f 55 selected com ponents. Each year the seasonal status o f every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any o f the 55 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data w ill be used for the last 5 years, 1 A complete technical presentation of BLS research on this subject is available in W illiam 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 o f Housing Depreciation: Short Term Quality Change and Long Term Vintage E ffects,” 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 o f Methods, chapter 19 (BLS Bulletin 2285). 108 but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period. Effective with the calculation o f the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau o f Labor Statistics has used an enhanced seasonal adjustment procedure called intervention analysis for some CPI series. Intervention analysis allows for better estimates o f seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern are removed from the data prior to calculation o f 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 adjusted data for those series. For some w om en’s apparel indexes and the girls’apparel index, the procedure was used to offset the effects o f changes in pricing methodology; and for new cars and for new' vehicles, this procedure was used to offset the effects o f changes in marketing strategies and the introduction o f new models. A description o f interven tion analysis, as well as a list o f events treated as interven tions and seasonal factors for these items may be obtained by writing the Bureau o f Labor Statistics, Division o f Con sumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or by calling Claire McAnaw on (202)504-2051. 109
