Price Movements
September 1989
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
rose 0.3 percent before seasonal adjustment in September
to a level of 125.0 (1982-84=100). For the 12-month period
ended in September, the CPI-U increased 4.3 percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also increased 0.3 percent in
September prior to seasonal adjustment. The September 1989
c p i -w level of 123.6 was 4.3 percent higher than the index
in September 1988.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent
in September after recording no change in August. Apparel
prices, reflecting the introduction of fall and winter
merchandise, turned up sharply in September, following
declines in each of the preceding 3 months. Price movements
in most other major expenditure groups in September were
virtually the same as in August. In particular, food and shelter
costs rose slightly, while the cost of medical care increased
substantially. These advances were partially offset by declines
in the indexes for transportation and other goods and services.
Consumer prices rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate
(SAAR) of 1.6 percent in the third quarter of 1989 following
increases of 6.1 and 5.7 percent in the first and second
quarters, respectively. This brought the year-to-date annual
rate of increase in the CPI-U to 4.4 percent, the same rate
as 1988. Although the overall rates for the two periods were
the same, the composition of change was different. Energy

commodities, which declined in 1988, rose sharply in the
first two quarters of 1989 before declining in the third
quarter. Food prices surged upwards in the first half of 1989
before slowing in the third quarter, and have risen at about
the same rate as last year. Shelter costs in 1989 continued
to increase at about the same rate as in each of the 3 preceding
years.
The index for all items excluding food, shelter, and energy
increased at a 3.9-percent annual rate in the first 9 months
of 1989 following a 4.7-percent rise in 1988. Within this

group, price increases for commodities slowed, while those
for services advanced at about the same rate as last year.
Larger price increases for medical care commodities and
tobacco products were more than offset by declines or smaller
increases in most other commodity groups, particularly those
for housefumishings, apparel commodities, and automobile
purchases. The annual rate of change for selected groups
during the last several years and the first 9 months of 1989
are shown in the tabulation on page 1.
The food and beverage index rose 0.2 percent in
September. The 0.1-percent advance in grocery store food
prices continues the moderation that began in June. During
the first 5 months of this year, these prices rose at a 9.3percent annual rate while, in the last 4 months, they have
increased at a 1.7-percent rate. The index for fruits and
vegetables declined 1.1 percent in September, reflecting a
sharp drop in fresh vegetable prices. The index for meats,
poultry, fish, and eggs rose 0.2 percent, the same as in
August. Declines in poultry and pork prices were again more
than offset by price increases for beef, fish, and eggs. The
index for other food at home was unchanged in September,
reflecting a 2.7-percent decline in coffee prices. The 0.4percent rise in the index for cereal and bakery products was
its smallest increase this year. On the other hand, the index
for dairy products rose 1.4 percent, its largest advance since
May 1980. The other two components of the food and
beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—
rose 0.5 and 0.2 percent, respectively.
The housing index, which increased 0.2 percent in August,
rose 0.1 percent in September. All three major components—
shelter, fuels and other utilities, and household furnishings
and operations—registered very small increases. Shelter costs
rose 0.1 percent in September. Within shelter, renters’ costs
declined 0.8 percent; homeowners’ costs rose 0.5 percent
and maintenance and repair costs increased 0.1 percent. The
decrease in renters’ costs resulted from a 4.5-percent drop
in the index for lodging while out of town. Residential rents
increased 0.2 percent. The index for fuels and other utilities
rose 0.1 percent. Household fuel prices were unchanged on

average as small declines in fuel oil prices and natural gas
were offset by a ,0.3-percent increase in charges for
electricity. The index for other utilities and public services
rose 0.2 percent, reflecting increases in fees for cable TV
and garbage and trash collection. The index for household
furnishings and operations rose 0.2 percent in September.
The transportation component, which had advanced
sharply in the first 5 months of 1989, declined for the fourth
consecutive month. The drop in September—down 0.5
percent—was again largely due to a decrease in the index
for motor fuels. Gasoline prices—down 2.2 percent in
August—have declined 9.3 percent in the past 4 months after
increasing 21.2 percent in the first 5 months of 1989. Also
contributing to the September transportation decrease was
another decline in automobile purchase costs. The index for
new vehicles fell 0.3 percent and automobile finance charges
dropped 1.3 percent. Used car prices declined 0.7 percent.
The index for public transportation was unchanged in
September as a small increase in airline fares was offset by
a decline in the index for other intercity transportation costs.
The index for apparel and upkeep, reflecting the introduction
of fall and winter merchandise, rose 1.7 percent in September
after declining 1.5 percent in August. During the first 3
quarters of 1989, these prices have advanced at a 0.7-percent
annual rate. This compares with a 4.3-percent annual rate
in the first 9 months of 1988.
The medical care component advanced 0.8 percent in
September to a level of 8.0 percent above a year ago. The
index for medical care commodities—prescription drugs,
nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 1.0
percent in September. The index for medical care services
increased 0.7 percent, with the cost of professional services
and hospital and related services up 0.3 and 1.4 percent,
respectively.
Entertainment costs rose 0.4 percent in September,
following a 0.3-percent rise in August. An upturn in the index
for sporting goods and equipment was primarily responsible
for the increase.
The index for other goods and services decreased 0.3

percent in September, reflecting a seasonally adjusted decline
in the index for tuition and other school fees and a 0.4percent drop in prices for tobacco products. (Prior to seasonal
adjustment, the index for tuition rose 4.4 percent.)

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers also rose 0.2 permit in September.

Reconciling Two Measures
of Consumer Price Change:
Second Quarter 1989
This article continues the analysis of differences between
two price measures—the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U)
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the
Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption
Expenditures (PCE) published by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) of the Department of Commerce. More
information on the technique of reconciliation is available
in the September 1981 Monthly Labor Review.1
Prior to December 1985, when b e a rebased the PCE data
from a 1972 to a 1982 reference base,2 the residual housing
effect contributed a substantial portion of the cumulative
difference between the CPI and PCE.3 However, with the use
of a 1982 reference base, it is no longer a contributing factor,
because both the CPI and the PCE have used a rental
equivalence measure of homeowners’ costs since the
beginning of 1983.
Cumulative differences
The current-weight pc e remained higher than the CPI
through the second quarter of 1989 (see table C). Since 1982,
the PCE has risen 29.8 percent while the CPI has increased
28.3 percent. Two partially offsetting factors—weighting
differences and an aggregate of “ other” effects—are
responsible for the net difference in second quarter total effect
of 1.5 percentage points. Weighting differences reflect the
cumulative effect of the PCE using current, or moving,
weights rather than 1982 fixed weights. These differences
accounted for a second quarter 1989 fixed-weight index
which was 1.8 percentage points more than the currentweight p c e . The weighting effect, however, has been more
than offset by a 3.3-percentage-point difference in “ other”
effects as measured by a comparison of the two Laspeyresformula indexes, the CPI-U and the fixed-weight PCE.
Historically, “ other” effects have mainly resulted from
differences in seasonal adjustment methods, different market
baskets, and the use of the Consumer Expenditure Survey
data for determining the weight distribution in the CPI as
opposed to the GNP composition used by the PCE to determine

Labor Review, September 1981, pp. 3-15. Subsequent reconciliations
appeared in the January, May, July, and October 1982 Review, and in the
February 1983 Review.
2 The November 1985 CPI Detailed Report contains the final reconciliation
(running through the third quarter of 1985) of the CPI and PCE using 1972
weights.

Quarter 1984,” CPI Detailed Report, July 1984, pp. 4-6, for an explanation
of the residual housing effect. A subsequent reconciliation appeared in the

its weighting structure. The CPI did not begin using weights
derived from the 1982-84 Consumer Expenditure Survey
until January 1987, whereas the p c e had been using 1982
based weights since 1982. This gap in weighting between
1982 and 1987 further contributed to cumulative differences
reflected in “ other” effects which occurred during that time
period.
weight p c e uses the Laspeyres formula and gets its weights
from the first of the two periods being compared. The CPi-u
rose at an annual rate of 6.4 percent between the first and
second quarters of 1989, 0.6 percent more than the
5.8-percent rise in the chain-weight p c e . During the fourth
quarter, the CPI-U and the chain-weight p c e had increased
at rates of 5.4 percent and 4.7 percent, respectively. The
1982 fixed-weighted p c e rose at an annual rate of 6.3 percent
in the second quarter, which when compared with a 5.8percent rise in the chain-weight PCE, yielded a weighting
effect of 0.5 percent. The difference between the rates for
the CPi-u and the fixed-weight p c e represents the “ other”
effects factor, and revealed a 0.1-percent greater rise in the
CPi-u during the second quarter.
Period-to-period differences
To analyze differences in the annual and quarterly rates
of change in the CPI and PCE (see table D), the chain-weight
PCE is used in place of the current-weight PCE .4 The chain4 CPI Detailed Report, July 1984, p. 5.

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.

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.

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 o f 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.

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 n a wijl 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 b l s 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 n a 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 b l s 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 p e r therm and p e r kilowatt
hour are not , therefore , generally suitable fo r 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 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.
110
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
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 b l s
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 b l s
used hedonic regression methods to estimate the aging effect.
1 A complete technical presentation of 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 forthcoming Journal
of Business and Economic Statistics, 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 forthcoming, Journal of Urban
Economics. 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 b l s housing survey data and the most recently
available Census data.
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 - i i -a r im 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.
