For the 12-month period ended in September, the CPI-U increased 3.4 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (C PI-W ) also rose 0.4 percent in September prior to seasonal adjustment. The September 1991 C P l-w level of 135.2 was 3.1 percent higher than the index in September 1990. preceding months. Within this group, a larger increase in shelter costs was essentially offset by the downturn in the index for apparel and upkeep after seasonal adjustment. Consumer prices rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 3.3 percent in the third quarter of 19 91, following increases of 2 . 4 and 3 . 0 percent in the first and second quarters, respectively. This brought the year-todate annual rate to 2 . 9 percent; during the first 9 months of 1990, the CPI-U increased at a 6.6-percent annual rate. While all three groups—food, energy, and all items less food and energy—advanced at a slower pace in the first 9 months of 1991 than in 1990, the sharp drop in energy, particularly petroleum-based energy, has contributed the most to this moderation. Following an advance of 35.4 percent in 1990, petroleum-based energy prices have declined at a 21.8-percent rate in the first 9 months of 1991. The other part of the energy component—natural gas and electricity—rose at a 2.2-percent rate thus far in 1991 after increasing 1.5 percent in 1990. The index for food has slowed significantly in 1991, advancing at a 1.4-percent rate during the first 9 months. If maintained, this would be the smallest increase in this component since 1976. All major food groups show gener ally moderate movement this year. Prices for meat and dairy products are lower than at yearend 1990; the thirdquarter drop in fruit and vegetable prices has nearly offset their sharp increases during the first 6 months of the year. (C PI-U ) CPI for All Urban Consumers (cpi-u) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.4 per cent in September. This compares with increases of 0.2 percent in each of the 3 preceding months and was the largest monthly advance since a similar rise in January. The acceleration between August and September principally reflects advances in the indexes for food, energy, and shelter. The food index rose 0.1 percent in September, largely as a result of the turnaround in the in dex for fruits and vegetables. The 1.0-percent rise in the energy component, only the second advance this year, re flects an upturn in the indexes for gas and electricity coupled with a larger monthly increase in petroleumbased energy goods. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.4 percent in September, the same as in each of the 3 Table A.

Within this group, prices for fresh fruits rose 3.1 percent, while those for fresh vegetables fell 0.8 percent. A 0.5-percent drop in the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs helped to partially offset increases in other grocery store food components. Declines in prices for beef, poultry, and eggs more than offset increases in those for pork and fish and seafood. The index for dairy products registered its third consecutive monthly increase in September, advanc ing 0.6 percent. The other two major grocery store food groups—cereal and bakery products and other food at home—were unchanged and rose 0.1 percent, respectively. The indexes for restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages increased 0.1 and 0.4 percent, respectively. The housing component, which was unchanged in August, rose 0.5 percent in September. All three major housing groups contributed to the housing increase. Shelter costs advanced 0.5 percent in September, following a 0.1-percent increase in August. Within shelter, renters’ costs and homeowners’ costs each rose 0.5 percent, more than offsetting a 0.3-percent decline in maintenance and re pair costs. The index for household fuels and utilities turned up in September, increasing 0.6 percent. Fuel oil prices rose 1.7 percent, and charges for natural gas and electricity increased 1.4 and 0.7 percent, respectively. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.2 percent in September, following a decline of 0.1 percent in August. Transportation costs rose 0.2 percent in September, with about two-thirds of the advance attributable to a 0.9-percent increase in prices for motor fuels. Despite increases in each of the past 2 months, gasoline prices remain well below their peak level. As of September, they were 17.1 per The index for all items less food and energy has advanced at a 4.8-percent rate thus far in 1991, compared with a 5.2-percent increase last year. While the costs of shelter and medical care slowed noticeably, most other com ponents in this group showed little deceleration. The food and beverage index rose 0.1 percent in September. Grocery store food prices also rose 0.1 percent in September after registering declines in each of the 2 preceding months. The fresh fruit and vegetable price index which had been primarily responsible for the grocery ended in December A u g u s t 0 0 . 3 Percent changes, 12 months J u l y 12 m 2 cent lower than in November 1990. New car purchase costs showed a small increase in September; new car prices rose 0.3 percent, while automobile finance charges fell 0.5 per cent. The index for used cars declined 0.2 percent. Public transportation costs declined 0.7 percent in September as a 1.4-percent decrease in airline fares more than offset increases in other intercity and intracity public transportation. The index for apparel and upkeep fell 0.4 percent in September, following substantial increases in each of the 2 preceding months. The September clothing price increases were smaller than usual—up 3.1 percent before seasonal adjustment—as a result of the introduction of this year’s fall-winter wear in July and August. The medical care component rose 0.7 percent in September—to a level 8.4 percent above a year ago. The in dex for medical care commodities rose 0.6 percent, largely due to an increase of 0.9 percent in the index for prescrip tion drugs. The index for medical services advanced 0.7 percent, with the cost of professional services and hospital and related services up 0.7 and 0.3 percent, respectively. Entertainment costs rose 0.7 percent in September, following a 0.4-percent rise in August. Increases in the in dexes for sporting goods and equipment and fees for participant sports—up 1.9 and 2.4 percent, respectively— accounted for over one-half of the entertainment advance. The index for other goods and services rose 0.7 percent in September. Virtually all of the increase in this major group was accounted for by advances in the indexes for tuition and other school fees and tobacco and smoking products— up 1.2 and 1.3 percent, respectively. 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 0.4 percent in September. 3 Chart 1. cpi-U: All items, food and beverages, 1980-91 * P e r c e n t c h a n g e s o v e r 1 2 -m o n th s p a n s a r e c a lc u la te d fro m u n a d ju s te d d a t a .

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. Table 11.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. 1 Foods, fuels, and several other items priced every month in all areas; most other goods and services priced as indicated: M - Every month. 1 - January, March, May, July, September, and November. 2 - February, April, June, August, October, and December. 2 Regions are defined as the four Census regions. 3 Indexes on a December 1986=100 base. - 52 Table 18.

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 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 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 areas 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, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also published by size of city, by region of country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 29 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities, they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period. Calculating Index Changes Movements of the indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points, because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a 12-month period. Index Point Change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change 112.5 108.5 4.0 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change 96 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 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 B T U ’S (U.S. Department of Energy). 1 kwh = 3,412 B T 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 fo r 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. 97 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.) 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 b l s 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. 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 year— such as price movements resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data 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 -11-a r i m a Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent annual updates have replaced 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data from 1985 through 1989 were replaced at the end of 1989. The seasonal movement of all items and 45 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 55 selected com ponents. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 55 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years, 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 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 Journal o f Buisness and Economic Statistics, Vol. 6, No. 3, July 1988, pp. 359-71 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 Journal of 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 of Methods, chapter 19 (BLS Bulletin 2285). 98 but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period. Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced seasonal adjustment procedure called intervention analysis for some CPI series. Intervention analysis allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern are removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. 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 women’s apparel indexes and the girls’apparel index, the procedure was used to offset the effects of changes in pricing methodology; and for new cars and for new vehicles, this procedure was used to offset the effects of changes in marketing strategies and the introduction of new models. A description of interven tion analysis, as well as a list of events treated as interven tions and seasonal factors for these items may be obtained by writing the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Con sumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or by calling Claire McAnaw on (202)504-2051. 99 * U .S.
