Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent in September, following five consecutive monthly increases of 0.2 percent. A sharp increase in apparel prices and an upturn in the tobacco index were principally responsible for the larger advance in September. Consumer prices rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 2.8 percent in the third quarter. This followed increases in the first and second quarters at annual rates of 6.1 and 2.6 percent rates, respectively, and brings the yearto-date annual rate to 3.8 percent. This compares with an increase of 2.7 percent for all of 1999. Energy prices, which turned up sharply in 1999, have continued their advance, thus far in 2000. The energy index, which increased 13.4 percent in 1999, has risen at an 18.4-percent SAAR, thus far in 2000. In the first 9 months of 2000, petroleum-based energy costs increased at a 25.2-percent SAAR, and charges for energy services rose at an 11.7-percent annual rate. The food index has risen at a 2.7-percent SAAR, thus far in 2000, following a 1.9-percent increase for all of 1999. The index for food at home, which advanced 1.7 percent in 1999, has risen at a 2.8-percent rate, thus far in 2000. Among the major grocery store food groups, the index for meats, poultry, he Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.5 percent in September, before seasonal adjustment, to a level of 173.7 (1982-84=100). For the 12-month period ended in September, the CPI-U increased 3.5 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.6 percent in September, prior to seasonal adjustment. The September level of 170.4 was 3.5 percent higher than the index in September 1999. T CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.5 percent in September, following a 0.1 percent decline in August. The upturn reflects a sharp turnaround in the energy index, which increased 3.8 percent in September, after declining 2.9 percent in August. In September, the indexes for petroleum-based energy and for energy services increased 5.9 and 1.7 percent, respectively. The food index rose 0.2 percent. The index for food at home increased 0.1 percent, after advancing 0.3 percent in August. An increase in the index for fruits and vegetables more than offset declines in the indexes for cereal and bakery products, meats, poultry, Table A.

In particular, meat prices, which began to rise in mid-1999, have continued to increase throughout most of the first 9 months of 2000, advancing at a 7.1 -percent SAAR, after increasing 3.6 percent in all of 1999. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U advanced at a 2.7percent SAAR in the third quarter, following increases of 3.4 and 2.2 percent, respectively, in the first two quarters of 2000. The 2.8 percent SAAR in the first 9 months of 2000 compares with a 1.9-percent rise for all of 1999. Shelter costs, which have risen at a 3.6-percent SAAR thus far this year, after increasing 2.5 percent in all of 1999, and medical care costs have been largely responsible for the acceleration, thus far in 2000. The rates for selected groups for the last 5V a years are shown below. The food and beverages index increased 0.1 percent in September. The index for food at home, which rose 0.3 percent in August, increased 0.1 percent in September. The index for fruits and vegetables rose 0.8 percent in September, following increases of 1.0 and 1.2 percent in July and August, respectively. Over the past 12 months, however, fruit and vegetable prices have risen 1.0 percent. In September, within the fruits and vegetables group, the indexes for fresh fruits and for fresh vegetables rose 0.9 and 1.7 percent, respectively. The index for processed fruits and vegetables declined 0.7 percent. The indexes for cereals and bakery products, nonalcoholic beverages, and meats, poultry, fish, and eggs each declined in September. Meat prices turned down in September; the indexes for beef and for pork declined 0.4 and 0.8 percent, respectively. However, over the past 12 months, beef and pork prices are up 7.1 and 7.8 percent, respectively. Poultry prices declined for the second consecutive month—down 0.2 percent in September—but have risen 0.7 percent since September Table Q3.

Medical care costs rose 0.4 percent in September to a level 4.3 percent higher than a year ago. In September, the index for medical care commodities—prescription and non prescription drugs and medical supplies—rose 0.2 percent. The index for medical care services rose 0.4 percent. Charges for professional services and for hospital and re lated services increased 0.3 and 0.6 percent, respectively. The index for recreation costs increased 0.1 percent in September, the same as in August. The index for education and communication declined 0.7 percent in September. Educational costs rose 0.4 per cent, partially offsetting a 1.7-percent decrease in the in dex for communication. The index for tuition, other school fees, and childcare increased 0.4 percent. (Prior to sea sonal adjustment, this index rose 1.7 percent.) Within the index for communication, the indexes for telephone ser vices and for personal computers and peripheral equipment fell 1.9 and 1.5 percent, respectively. The index for other goods and services increased 1.1 percent in September, following a 0.3-percent decrease in August. Cigarette prices, which declined 1.7 percent in August, increased 3.8 percent in September, accounting for about 85 percent of the overall September advance in this major group. percent in August and has advanced 35.1 percent over the past 9 months. The index for natural gas, which declined 0.7 percent in August, rose 5.1 percent in September and has risen 25.4 percent, thus far in 2000. The index for elec tricity, which was unchanged in August, increased 0.1 per cent in September and has risen 2.0 percent in the first 9 months of the year. Shelter costs increased 0.2 percent in September. Within shelter, the indexes for rent and for owners’ equivalent rent increased 0.4 percent and 0.3 per cent, respectively, while the index for lodging away from home fell 0.1 percent. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.2 percent in September. The transportation component, which declined in each of the preceding 2 months, turned back up in September, advancing 1.0 percent. Gasoline prices resumed their upward trend in September—increasing 5.4 percent—after registering declines in each of the preceding 2 months. G asoline prices have advanced 20.4 percent since December, after advancing 30.1 percent in all of 1999. The index for new vehicles declined 0.2 percent in September, the same as in August. Price declines on 2000 models more than offset price increases associated with the 2001 models. (About 10 percent of the new vehicle sample in September were represented by 2001 models.) The index for used cars and trucks increased 0.6 percent in September, following declines in each of the preceding 2 months. Public transportation costs decreased 1.3 percent, largely as a result of a 2.2-percent decline in airline fares. Despite the September drop, airline fares have risen 8.9 percent, thus far in 2000. The index for apparel rose 1.6 percent in September, after advancing 0.2 percent in August. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, apparel prices rose 4.1 percent, reflecting the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and C lerical Workers rose 0.6 percent in September. 3 CPI-U 12-month changes, 1990 to present Percent Percent 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 4 Extending the use of hedonic models to adjust prices for changes in quality The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is continuing to expand the use in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of quality adjustments derived from hedonic models. As first announced at the time of the July 2000 CPI release, effective with the CPI for October 2000, BLS will extend hedonic quality adjustment to washing machines and clothes dryers. These items are both part of the major appliances stratum. A hedonic model decomposes the price of a consumer product into implicit prices for each of its important features and components, thereby providing an estimate of the value of each feature and component. BLS plans to extend this method to additional items in the CPI. As BLS does so, it will give CPI users notice at least 3 months before the first use of hedonic quality adjustment for each additional item and will have detailed papers on the models to be employed available by the time of first use. The relative importance (share of weight), as of December 1999, of the major appliances stratum was 0.205 percent in the CPI for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and 0.236 percent in the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). Within major appliances, washing machines are estimated to represent 18 percent of the weight and clothes dryers about 13 percent. The hedonic models that BLS analysts developed for washing machines and clothes dryers use observations collected for the CPI, supplemented with additional observations that the BLS collected specifically for this purpose. Papers describing this work are in preparation and will be available before release of the October 2000 CPI. Additional work on hedonic quality adjustment is underway at BLS. For more information on these changes, write to Bureau of Labor Statistics Division of Consumer Prices and Price Indexes 2 Massachusetts Ave. NE, Room 3260 Washington, DC 20212 or contact Paul Liegey either by telephone at (202) 691-5394 or at Liegey_P@bb.gov by electronic mail. 5 Revisions in January to August 2000 CPI Data he Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is reissuing CPI data for the January to August 2000 period, to correct an error recently uncovered in the software used to calculate the Rent of Primary Residence and Owners’ Equivalent Rent of Primary Residence components of the index. Correcting this error increases previously published values for those components and for index series that in clude those components in selected local areas, as well as at the U.S. City Average level. The affected series include the U.S. City Average All Items CPIs for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and for Ur ban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The at tached tables Cl A-U to C2A-W show, at the U.S. city aver age level, the revised CPI-U and CPI-W monthly values for the first 8 months of 2000 for the All Items, All Items Less Food and Energy, and Housing series. Each of the recalcu lated All Items CPI-U and CPI-W values for the first 8 months of 2000 is higher than the value originally pub lished by 0.1 index point, except for the May and July CPIU values, which are now 0.2 index point higher. (Because published index values are rounded to one decimal place, the size of the difference between the previously published and the recalculated index values varies from month to month.) Between December 1999 and August 2000, the corrected CPI-U rose 2.7 percent, compared with an increase of 2.6 percent in the series as originally published. The error occurred with the introduction of the new housing sample and calculation procedures beginning in January 1999. The error was in the calculation of quality adjustments when housing units in the CPI Rent and Owners’ Equivalent Rent samples reported changes in air conditioning (AC) equipment. When a housing unit changed from having no AC (or a non-central type of AC) to having central AC, an adjustment was applied automatically. Specifically, the value of central AC was subtracted from the current period rental price, to make it consistent with the price in the previous period (a negative adjustment to the current period price). Conversely, when the AC equipment in a housing unit changed from central AC to no AC (or non-central AC), the value of central AC should have been added to the current period rental price (a positive adjustment to the current period price). The computer estimation system in use beginning in January 1999 applied a negative adjustment in both cases, leading to a small understatement of index growth. The error was first identified in June of this year, when a CPI housing analyst was reviewing the data over time for a particular housing unit. The analyst noted that the adjust ment to the rental price for the unit was negative when the AC equipment changed from non-central AC to central AC (which is correct), but also was negative when the AC equip ment subsequently changed back from central AC to non central AC (which is incorrect). Following the identifica tion of this error, time was required to determine its cause, to realize its significance, and to identify the correct solu tion. The process of calculating the correct index values going back to the first month in which the problem occurred consumed a substantial amount of time. Once the Bureau completed the index recalculations, the recalculated data were evaluated in the context of BLS guidelines for issuing corrections to previously published CPI data. An improbably large number of reported changes in the AC status of individual rental units substantially exacer bated the impact of the software error. In many cases, re ported changes in AC status were reversed in subsequent reporting periods. The high level of reported changes led us to conclude that this information was not being reported accurately. As a result, the recalculations to correct the error were carried out by eliminating all adjustments made for changes in AC status over the period. Although the error affected some index values in the January to December 1999 period, no revisions to data for this period will be published. Changes to the overall, or all items, index at the national average level during this period were not large enough to warrant re-publication under BLS policy, as in no month of 1999 did the overstatement in the overall index exceed 0.1 index point. There is, moreover, a presumption in BLS policy and practice against revisions to the CPI that extend back over lengthy periods. Unlike many statistical series, the CPI is in final form when first issued. This, however, does not mean that it is never revised. During the last 10 years, for example, the Bureau has made corrections 7 times, generally as a result of reporting errors. None of these corrections led to any revisions at the U.S. level. The last time the Bureau revised the U.S. City Average All Items CPI was in T 6 December 1974, when the values for the months of April through October were recalculated and released with issu ance of the November CPI. The revised CPI series are posted on the Internet on the CPI home page at http://stats.bls.gov/cpihome.htm.

R Revised. ‘ Data not available. NOTE: Local area 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: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date. 71 Table 11.

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.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics pub lishes CPIs for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Ur ban Consumers (CPI-U), which covers approximately 87 percent of the total population, and (2) a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which covers 32 per cent of the total population. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as profes sional, 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 physicians’ and dentists’ services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 87 urban areas across the country from about 50,000 housing units and approximately 23,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 87 locations. Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest metropolitan areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal visits or telephone calls of the Bureau’s trained representatives. In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights that rep resent 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 the country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 26 local ar eas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities; they measure only the average change in prices for each area since the base period. The index measures price change from a designed refer ence date— 1982-84, which equals 100.0. An increase of 16.5 percent, for example, is shown as 116.5. 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 $10 in 1982-84 to $11.65. For further details see BLS Handbook o f Methods, Chap ter 17, the Consumer Price Index, Bulletin 2490, April 1997. T 137 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, whereas percent changes are not. The example below illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are ex pressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates. These data in dicate 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 115.7 111.2 4.5 Percent change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by 100 Equals percent change 4.5 111.2 0.040 0.040x100 4.0 Energy Prices Prices are usually available for the U.S. city average, 13 large metropolitan areas, the 4 census regions, 3 size classifications, and 10 areas reflecting the 4 Census regions cross-classified by the 3 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 appears. This designation also appears 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 will 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. 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 CPI. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are cal culated 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 dif ferent types of residential rate schedules. The average prices 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, and for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (shown in table PI) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Because heating and air-conditioning requirements vary by geographic loca tion, 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 con sumption, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised CPI. , , Fuel oil Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. (See table PI.) Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than one gallon. These prices are converted to a gal lon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity or quick payment. Gasoline and automotive diesel fuel. Gasoline and diesel prices, shown in table P3, are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, mini-service, and self-service gas sta tions. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indi cated: 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 and Beverage Prices Actual weighted average prices for food and beverages are calculated each month at the national level and for the four Census geographic regions, as shown in table P4. 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 prices for food in this report reflect Census Regions seasonal adjustment procedure called Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Intervention Analy sis Seasonal Adjustment allows for better estimates of sea sonally adjusted data. Extreme values or sharp movements that might distort the seasonal pattern are estimated and re moved from the data before calculation of seasonal factors. Since the calculation of seasonal factors for 1996, X-12ARIMA software has been used for Intervention Analysis Sea sonal Adjustment. For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this proce dure is used to offset the effects that extreme price volatility would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally ad justed data for those series. For the breakfast cereal index, the procedure is used to offset the effects of price-cutting among cereal manufacturers. For the educational books and supplies index, the procedure is used to account for greaterthan-normal sale prices on educational reference books. For some alcoholic beverage series, Intervention Analysis Sea sonal Adjustment is used to offset the effects of increased brewer’s costs, along with increased demand for specialty beers. For the nonalcoholic beverages index, the procedure is used to offset the effects of a large increase in coffee prices due to adverse weather. For the fats and oils series, the pro cedure is used to account for lower domestic butter stocks, lower cold storage supplies, and anticipation of a bumper soybean crop. For the new trucks index, the procedure is applied to account for loyalty rebates offered to customers by American automakers. For the water and sewerage main tenance index, the procedure is used to account for a data collection anomaly. A description of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjust ment, as well as a list of unusual events modeled and sea sonal factors for these items, may be obtained by writing the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212, or by calling Claire McAnaw Gallagher on (202) 691-6968. Ms. Gallagher may also be reached at gallagher_c@bls.gov by e-mail. variations in brand, quality, and size among geographic ar eas. 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 appears. When a price is not available from an individual store in any month, an esti mated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. In cases where the propor tion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is con sidered too high, the average price is not published and NA appears 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 BLS regional offices or from the Washington office upon request. Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Because different groups use price data for different purposes, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted, as well as unadjusted, changes each month. For analyzing general price trends in the economy, sea sonally adjusted changes are usually preferred, because 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 also are 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-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjust ment 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 1995 through 1999 were replaced at the end of 1999. The seasonal movement of all items and 54 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 73 selected components. Each year, the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 73 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not sea sonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years; but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period. Seasonally adjusted data, including the all items index lev els, are subject to revision for up to 5 years after their origi nal release. For this reason, BLS advises against the use of these data in escalation agreements. Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced Metropolitan Areas BLS publishes price indexes for three major metropolitan areas monthly: Chicago-Gary-Kenosha, IL-IN-WI Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County, CA New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT-PA Data for additional 11 metropolitan areas are published every other month [on an odd (January, March, etc.) or even (Febru ary, April, etc.) month schedule] for the following areas: Atlanta, GA Boston-Brockton-Nashua, MA-NH-ME-CT Cleveland-Akron, OH Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint, MI Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, TX Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL 139 -even -odd -odd -odd -even -even -even Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City, PA-NJ-DE-MD San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton, WA Washington-Baltimore, DC-MD-VA-WV -even cpihome.htm provides other CPI information, as well as in dexes.
