Q N c� 2 L- CL U) a 0 U E c� -4- Packet Pg. 623 C.13.b Technical Note Brief Explanation of the CPI The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in prices paid by consumers for goods and services. The CPI reflects spending patterns for each of two population groups: all urban consumers and urban wage earners and clerical workers. The all urban consumer group represents over 90 percent of the total U.S. population. It is based on the expenditures of almost all residents of urban or metropolitan 0 areas, including professionals, the self-employed, the poor, the unemployed, and retired people, as well as urban wage earners and clerical workers. Not included in the CPI are the spending patterns of people living in rural nonmetropolitan areas, farming families,people in the Armed Forces, and those in LO institutions, such as prisons and mental hospitals. Consumer inflation for all urban consumers is measured by two indexes, namely, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the U Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U). The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) is based on the expenditures of households included in the CPI-U definition that meet two requirements: more than one- half of the household's income must come from clerical or wage occupations, and at least one of the household's earners must have been employed for at least 37 weeks during the previous 12 months. The CPI-W population represents approximately 30 percent of the total U.S. population and is a subset of the 0 CPI-U population. L_ The CPIs are based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, fuels,transportation, doctors' and dentists' services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected each month in 75 urban areas across the country from about 6,000 housing units and approximately 22,000 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 75 locations. Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal visit,telephone call, or web collection by the Bureau's trained representatives. N In calculating the index,price changes for the various items in each location are aggregated using Q 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. For the CPI-U and CPI-W, separate indexes are CU also published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 23 selected 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 E period. For the C-CPI-U, data are issued only at the national level. The CPI-U and CPI-W are 0) considered final when released, but the C-CPI-U is issued in preliminary form and subject to three 0- subsequent quarterly revisions. The index measures price change from a designed reference date. For most of the CPI-U and the CPI-W, U) the reference base is 1982-84 equals 100. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999 equals 0 100. An increase of 7 percent from the reference base, for example, is shown as 107.000. Alternatively, 4, that relationship can also be expressed as the price of a base period market basket of goods and services rising from $100 to $107. - 5 - Packet Pg. 624 C.13.b Sampling Error in the CPI The CPI is a statistical estimate that is subject to sampling error because it is based upon a sample of retail prices and not the complete universe of all prices. BLS calculates and publishes estimates of the 1- month, 2-month, 6-month, and 12-month percent change standard errors annually for the CPI-U. These standard error estimates can be used to construct confidence intervals for hypothesis testing. For example, the estimated standard error of the 1-month percent change is 0.03 percent for the U.S. all items CPI. This means that if we repeatedly sample from the universe of all retail prices using the same 0 methodology, and estimate a percentage change for each sample, then 95 percent of these estimates will be within 0.06 percent of the 1-month percentage change based on all retail prices. For example, for a 1- month change of 0.2 percent in the all items CPI-U, we are 95 percent confident that the actual percent change based on all retail prices would fall between 0.14 and 0.26 percent. For the latest data, including information on how to use the estimates of standard error, see www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/variance- estimates/home.htm. Calculating Index Changes Movements of the indexes from 1 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 following table shows an example of using index values to calculate percent changes: 0 Item A Item B Item C CL Year I 112.500 225.000 110.000 Year II 121.500 243.000 128.000 Change in index points 9.000 18.000 18.000 0 Percent change 9.0/112.500 x 100 = 8.0 18.0/225.000 x 100 8.0 18.0/110.000 x 100 16.4 C M cN Use of Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data N c� The Consumer Price Index (CPI)program produces both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data. Seasonally adjusted data are computed using seasonal factors derived by the X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment method. These factors are updated each February, and the new factors are used to revise the previous 5 years of seasonally adjusted data. The factors are available at www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/seasonal-adjustment/seasonal-factors-2023.xlsx. For more information on data revision scheduling,please see the Factsheet on Seasonal Adjustment at www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonal- adjustment/questions-and-answers.htm and the Timeline of Seasonal Adjustment Methodological Changes at www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonal-adjusttuent/timeline-seasonal-adjustment-methodology- changes.htm. a How to Use Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data For analyzing short-term 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 weather events,production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. This allows data users to focus on changes that are not typical for the time of year. - 6- Packet Pg. 625 C.13.b 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 before adjustment for seasonal variation. BLS advises against the use of seasonally adjusted data in escalation agreements because seasonally adjusted series are revised annually. Intervention Analysis The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses intervention analysis seasonal adjustment(IASA) for some CPI 0 series. Sometimes extreme values or sharp movements can distort the underlying seasonal pattern of price change. Intervention analysis seasonal adjustment is a process by which the distortions caused by 0 such unusual events are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. The resulting seasonal factors, which more accurately represent the seasonal pattern, are then applied to U the unadjusted data. For example, this procedure was used for the motor fuel series to offset the effects of the 2009 return to normal pricing after the worldwide economic downturn in 2008. Retaining this outlier data during seasonal factor calculation would distort the computation of the seasonal portion of the time series data for motor fuel, so it was estimated and removed from the data prior to seasonal adjustment. Following that, seasonal factors were calculated based on this "prior adjusted" data. These seasonal factors represent a clearer picture of the seasonal pattern in the data. The last step is for motor fuel seasonal 0 factors to be applied to the unadjusted data. X For the seasonal factors introduced for January 2023, BLS adjusted 57 series using intervention analysis seasonal adjustment, including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels and vehicles. Revision o Seasonall Adjusted > f Y J -� Seasonally adjusted data, including the U.S. city average all items index levels, are subject to revision 0 for up to 5 years after their original release. Every year, economists in the CPI calculate new seasonal factors for seasonally adjusted series and apply them to the last 5 years of data. Seasonally adjusted 0 indexes beyond the last 5 years of data are considered to be final and not subject to revision. For January 2023, revised seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted indexes for 2018 to 2022 were calculated and published. For series which are directly adjusted using the Census X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal N adjustment software, the seasonal factors for 2022 will be applied to data for 2023 to produce the N seasonally adjusted 2023 indexes. Series which are indirectly seasonally adjusted by summing seasonally adjusted component series have seasonal factors which are derived and are therefore not CU available in advance. X a� Determining Seasonal Status Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. Using 2 these criteria, BLS economists determine whether a series should change its status from "not seasonally adjusted" to "seasonally adjusted", or vice versa. If any of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all items index change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years, 0 but the seasonally adjusted indexes before that period will not be changed. For 2023, 37 of the 81 U components of the U.S. city average all items index are not seasonally adjusted. c� - 7- Packet Pg. 626 C.13.b Contact Information For additional information about the CPI visit www.bls.gov/cpi or contact the CPI Information and Analysis Section at 202-691-7000 or cpi_info@bls.gov.

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. 0 0 t3 CL c5 0) U) 0 0 L_ CL CL c14 c14 c5 CIL c5 E U) a 0 U E c5 Packet Pg. 638 C.13.b Table 5.

Since the expenditure data required for the calculation of the C-CPI-U are available only with a time lag, the C-CPI-U is issued first in preliminary form using the latest available expenditure data at that time and is subject to four revisions. Indexes are issued as initial estimates. Indexes are revised each quarter with the publication of January,April, July, and October data as updated expenditure estimates become available. The C-CPI-U indexes are updated quarterly until they become final.

For example, if the Food index had an effect of U 0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40/1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase. Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that month the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8 CL percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher(or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 /0.5, or minus 20 percent). 2 A statistic's margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 0.6 percent, and its standard error was 0.15 percent, the margin of error on this item's 1-month percent change would be 0.6 percent, plus or minus 0.3 0 percent. U 3 If the current seasonally adjusted 1-month percent change is greater than the previous published 1-month percent change, then this column identifies the closest prior month with a 1-month percent change as(L)arge as or(L)arger than the current 1-month change. If the current 1-month percent change is smaller than the previous published 1-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or(S)maller than the current month change is identified. If the current and previous published 1-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparisons are used. For example, 0.8%is greater than 0.6%, -0.4%is less than -0.2%, and-0.2%is less than 0.0%. Note that a cs (L)arger change can be a smaller decline, for example, a-0.2%change is larger than a-0.4%change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6%change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a-0.2%change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0%change. 4 Not seasonally adjusted. 6 Indexes on a December 1997=100 base.

For example, if the Food index had an effect of 0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40/1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase. CN Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that year the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8 Q percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items cN index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher(or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 /0.5, or minus 20 percent). 2 A statistic's margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 2.6 percent, and its standard error was 0.25 percent, the margin of error on this item's 12-month percent change would be 2.6 percent, plus or minus 0.5 percent. 'If the current 12-month percent change is greater than the previous published 12-month percent change, then this column identifies the closest prior month with a 12-month percent change as (L)arge as or(L)arger than the current 12-month change. If the current 12-month percent change is smaller than the previous published 12-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or(S)maller than the current month change is identified. If the current and previous published 12-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparison is used. For example, 2.0%is greater than 0.6%, -4.4% is less than -2.0%, and-2.0%is less than 0.0%. Note that a(L)arger change can be a CL smaller decline, for example, a-0.2%change is larger than a-0.4%change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6%change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a -0.2%change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0%change. 4 Indexes on a December 1997=100 base. 5 Special indexes based on a substantially smaller sample.
