For the 12-month period ended in September, the CPI-U increased 3.0 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.2 percent in Septem ber prior to seasonal adjustment. The September 1992 CPI-W level of 139.1 was 2.9 percent higher than the index in September 1991. This compares with increases of 3.5 and 2.6 percent in the first and second quarters, respectively, and brings the year-to-date annual rate to 2.9 percent. Small increases in the food and energy components—each up at a 1.7-percent annual rate thus far in 1992—continued to be a moderating influence on the overall CPI. While nearly all of the major food groups have contributed to the moderation during the last 2 years, the most significant factor in the slowdown in food prices has been the decline in meat prices—down 2.1 percent in 1991 and at an annual rate o f-0.7 percent in 1992. The energy index, which declined 7.4 percent in 1991 after advancing sharply in 1990 following the invasion of Kuwait, has risen slowly in 1992. Petroleum-based energy costs have advanced at a 1.5-percent annual rate and energy services at a 1.8-percent rate in 1992. The change in the index for all items less food and energy has continued to slow since 1990. The 3.3-percent rate in the first 9 months of 1992, if maintained, would be the smallest increase in this component since 1972. While the moderation since 1990 has been broad-based, the decelera tion in shelter costs—up at a 2.7-percent annual rate in 1992—has been particularly notable. The food and beverage index increased 0.4 percent in September. Grocery store food prices rose 0.6 percent, fol lowing a 1.3-percent advance in August. For the second consecutive month, a sharp jump in fresh fruit and vegeta ble prices was largely responsible for the increase. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.2 per cent in September, following an increase of 0.3 percent in August. The food index, which turned up sharply in August after declining slightly during the first 7 months of the year, rose 0.4 percent in September. A 3.2-percent increase in the index for fresh fruits and vegetables accounted for about three-fifths of the September food advance. The energy index was unchanged in September as declines in petroleum-based energy costs were offset by a 0.5-percent increase in charges for energy services. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent, the same as in each of the preceding 4 months. Consumer prices rose at a 2.6-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) in the third quarter of 1992. Table A.

The increase in renters’ costs reflects a 2.7-percent seasonally adjusted increase in lodg ing while out of town. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, this component declined 4.8 percent.) Residential rents fell 0.1 percent. The index for fuel and other utilities increased 0.1 percent. Household fuel prices rose 0.4 percent as increases in charges for gas and electricity—up 1.5 and 0.2 percent, respectively—more than offset a 1.8-percent drop in fuel oil prices. The index for other utilities and public services declined 0.2 percent. Another small decline in charges for telephone services and a 1.7-percent drop in cable television charges more than offset increases in the indexes for water and sewerage maintenance and refuse collection. The index for household furnishings and opera tions was unchanged in September. The transportation component, which declined 0.1 per cent in August, was unchanged in September. Declines in the indexes for motor fuels, automobile finance charges, and public transportation offset increases in the indexes for new vehicles and used cars. The index for gasoline declined for the second consecutive month, down 0.7 per cent in September. As of last month, gasoline prices were 15.1 percent below their peak level of November 1990. New car purchase costs were essentially unchanged as a 2.2-percent drop in automobile finance charges offset a 0.4-percent increase in the new car index. Used car prices continued to advance sharply, increasing 1.1 percent in September. The index for public transportation declined for the second consecutive month, largely as a result of a 1.2-percent drop in airline fares. In September, the index for apparel and upkeep regis tered its first increase since May, advancing 0.2 percent. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, the index increased 2.4 per cent.) Price increases associated with the introduction of 3 months 6.3 12 months ended September 1992 April After declining 9.7 percent during the first 7 months of the year, fresh fruit and vegetable prices have increased 12.1 percent in the past 2 months. Rising meat prices have also contributed to the upturn in the food index. However, despite the increases of 0.5 and 0.4 percent in August and September, respectively, meat prices remain lower than at the end of last year, or even 1990. In September, each of the other three major grocery store food groups—cereal and bakery products, dairy products, and other food at home—decelerated. The 0.3-percent drop in the index for cereal and bakery products was its first decline in 1992 and brings the year-to-date annual rate to 4.7 percent, still the highest among the major grocery store food groups. The other two components of the food and beverage index— restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—increased 0.1 and 0.3 percent, respectively, in September. The housing index rose 0.1 percent in September, the same as in each of the 2 preceding months. Shelter costs were unchanged in September. Within shelter, increases in All Item s.............. Food and beverages Housing ................ Apparel and upkeep Transportation Medical c a r e .......... Entertainment........ Other goods and services ................ Compound annual rate 3 months ended September 1992 3.3 2 percent in August, increased 0.5 percent in September. Over three-fourths of the September rise was accounted for by a 1.7-percent increase in prices for tobacco and smoking products. Partially offsetting this advance were seasonally adjusted declines in education expenses. The indexes for tuition and other school fees and for school books and sup plies fell 1.1 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, tuition fees rose 3.7 percent and prices for school books, 1.7 percent.) the fall-winter lines were somewhat less than in recent years. During the 2-month period ended in September 1992, clothing prices have increased 3.4 percent as com pared with 5.3 percent in each of the 2 preceding years. The medical care component rose 0.5 percent in Septem ber to a level 7.0 percent above a year ago. The index for medical care commodities rose 0.2 percent in September. The index for medical care services advanced 0.6 percent. Within medical care services, the cost of professional ser vices increased 0.6 percent and the cost of hospital services, 0.7 percent. Entertainment costs rose 0.4 percent in September. A 1.6-percent advance in the index for admissions to movies, theaters, concerts, and sporting events accounted for over three-fifths of the increase in the entertainment index. The index for other goods and services, which rose 0.7 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 0.1 percent in September. 3 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 * Percent changes over 12-month spans are calculated from unadjusted data.

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. 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 B LS Handbook o f Methods, BLS Bulletin 2414, September 1992 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 approxi mately 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 self-employed, 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 day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from about 57,000 housing units and approximately 19,000 retail establishments—depart ment stores, supermarkets, hospitals, gasoline 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 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 com bined 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 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). Price are usually available for the U.S. city average, 28 large urban areas, and 16 areas reflecting the four Census region 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 price are available, the desig nation 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 pub lished city or region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be published. All prices arer collected monthly by BLS representa tives in the urban area 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. Food Prices In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are calculated 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 commodities 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, as 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. N e u ra l 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 consumpation amount, but may also be calculated from different types of residential rate schedules. The average price per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally suitable for use in place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table PI) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Since heating and air-conditioning requirements vary by geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it cannot be in ferred 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 1989, most Consumer Price Indexes have shifted to a new reference base year. All indexes previously expressed on a based 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 CPI data occurred in February Fuel oil Only # 2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than one gallon. These prices are converted to a gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity and/or quick payment. Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, mini-service, and self-serve gas stations. Approximate British Termal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: 97 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 con venience 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 oflfical 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 statis tical functions that relate the price of a good to its attributes or characteristics. For example, a hedonic regression re lates 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 betweeen a housing unit’s rent and age while other housing unit characteristics were held con stant. The estimated relationship was then used to con struct 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 different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes elbh month. For analyzing general price trends in the economy, Beginning with the January 1988 CPI, the Bureau of Labor seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since Statistics adjusted the monthly CPI shelter indexes for the they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur change in quality resulting from the effect of aging on at the same time and in about the same magnitude every rental housing.

Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern are removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors in X-11-ARIMA. For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this proce dure was used to offset the effects that extreme price volatil ity 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, new trucks, and new vehicles, this procedure was used to offset the effects of changes in marketing strate gies and the introduction of new models. For the tobacco and smoking products index, this procedure was used to offset the effects of increases in excise taxes and wholesale tobacco prices. For some alcoholic beverage series, inter vention was used to offset the effects of excise tax increases. An alternative to the intervention-adjusted X-llARIMA procedure is the state space model-based seasonal adjustment method. This method adjusts simul taneously for interventions and seasonal effects, rather than sequentially as in the X-11-ARIMA methodology, using structural statistical models with explanatory variables. The state space structural model-based method of seasonal adjustment was introduced in 1992 for the adjustment of January 1991-December 1991 indexes for three women’s apparel series: Dresses, Separates and sportswear, and Suits.
