The Consumer Price Index: Description and History

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a statistical measure of changes in the prices of

goods and services bought by urban wage earners and clerical workers. The index often

is called the "cost-of-living index,” but its official name is "Consumer Price Index for

Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers."

The Consumer Price Index was initiated during World War I when rapid changes in living

costs, particularly in shipbuilding centers, accentuated the need for such an index to

guide wage negotiations. It was first published in 1921 and since then has been revised

or adjusted several times but has maintained the same general form.

The following tabulation shows the expenditure bases for weights in the original

index and in each major revision:

Weights for the index discussed in this bulletin were derived from data collected

during the Survey of Consumer Expenditures in 1950. Current prices were obtained from

a representative sample of retail stores and service establishments in 46 urbanized

areas and smaller cities. The goods and services included were priced according to

detailed specifications which define a specified quality for each item. Sales and other

excise taxes paid by customers are included in the prices used to calculate the index.

More detailed discussions of the history, scope, and meaning of the Consumer Price

Index through 1963 were published in Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin 1256, "Consumer

Prices in the United States, 1953-58: Price Trends and Indexes," and 1517, "The Consumer Price Index: History and Techniques."

1/ In the 1940 revision, all-items indexes for the years 1925-29 were revised retroactively by reweighting group indexes with weights calculated as averages of group

expenditures derived from the surveys of 1917-19 and 1934-36; all-items indexes for 1930-

34 were revised retroactively by reweighting group indexes with weights derived from the

1934-36 survey; for 1935-39, indexes for all items and major groups were completely

recalculated using revised weights derived from the 1934-36 survey.

2J Weights based on the 1934-36 expenditure survey were used in the "old series" index

through June 1953.

3/ In the 1951 revision (interim adjustment), all-items and group indexes for January

to December 1950 were revised retroactively; indexes for rent and all items were corrected

for the new unit bias from 1940.

Changes in the Consumer Price Index, 1959-1963

During the 5 years from 1959 through 1963, few important changes were made in weights

or procedures for the index. It still was calculated, in the main, according to procedures

established at the time of the 1953 revision, which are described in Bulletin 1256. There

were, however, some adjustments in the list of items, the sample of reporters, and in

processing procedures.

Changes in the Sample of Priced Items

In the late 1950’s, as the comprehensive weight revision scheduled for completion in

1963 was getting underway, it became apparent that some changes in the sample of items

and weights needed to be incorporated into the index before the revision was completed. In

1960, the Bureau obtained funds to add about 25 items to the list of items priced. Many

of these were items new on the market, which had become important in family expenditures.

Others were added to give a better representation to the classes of items priced.

Eight items of food— macaroni, sirloin steak, pork loin roast, pineapple juice, tomato

juice, potato chips, frozen lemonade concentrate, and frozen french-fried potatoes were

added to the index in 1960 and two items— corn-on-the-cob and instant coffee— in 1961.

Weights for these items were subtracted from the weights of items to which they had been

allocated initially. Weights for seven items were developed on the basis of the expenditures survey of 1950; those for the two frozen food items and instant coffee, from second «

ary information. The total weight for coffee in each city was reallocated to canned,

bagged, and instant coffee on the basis of the volume of sales as reported to the Bureau

by chain and independent stores. All of these items, except corn and instant coffee which

were introduced in July 1961, were linked into the index in April 1961. 1/ Corn, a seasonal item, was scheduled for pricing only from April through September.

At the same time that most of the new food items were introduced (April 1960), prices

of liquid detergents were linked into the laundry soap and cleaning supplies subgroup to

supplement solid detergents and laundry soap which were already priced. Weights were

reallocated 12.6 percent to laundry soap, 69.2 percent to solid detergents, and 10.2 percent to liquid detergents on the basis of industry statistics.

In the 1953 revision, water heaters had been assigned the entire weight of heating

equipment. In December 1958, following experimental pricing of furnaces, the central

heating furnace was added to the index. The weight for water heaters was reallocated

equally between water heaters and forced air furnaces in southern cities, and 15 and 85

percent of the weight, respectively, were assigned to these items in northern cities.

In September 1961, women’s rayon skirts, priced year-round, were dropped from the

index because of their declining popularity, and two seasonal items were substituted. The

weight of the rayon skirt was divided equally between women’s wool skirts (priced

September to February) and women’s cotton skirts (priced March through August). Analysis

of market information indicated a relative importance for the two items of 52 and 48 percent, respectively.

In October 1960, compact cars were linked into the new car index. Prior to that time,

the new car component was represented by the price movements of standard size Chevrolet,

Ford, and Plymouth automobiles. Substantial increases in purchases of imported compact

cars between 1955 and 1959 spurred domestic manufacturers to expand competitive production

in late 1959 and early 1960.

1/ See Consumer Price Index, May 1960, Bureau of Labor Statistics release dated

June 24, 1960, for a more complete report on the introduction of the new items.

The Bureau gave very careful consideration to proper methods of introducing compact

cars, and the decision was made to introduce them by linking. 2/ Compact cars differed

significantly from standard cars in physical description, performance, and economy. Also,

their price movements were significantly different. The possibility of making a direct

comparison between these prices and those of earlier standard models was investigated, but

was discarded in favor of treating them as distinctly new items. This shift resulted

largely from lack of adequate data on which to base a quantitative evaluation of the many

differences in performance and physical characteristics between compact and standard-size

cars.

The compacts were linked into the index at the 1961 model introductory period in

October 1960. The total weight for new automobiles, about 3 percent of all items, was

kept unchanged but allocated between standard-size and compact cars having weights of 72

and 28 percent, respectively. Weight allocation was based upon the volume of sales in

the 3-month period immediately preceding the link date. Within the size categories,

weights were distributed among the priced makes according to the relative proportion of

sales in the third quarter of 1960. The four domestically produced compact cars

initially selected to represent the price movement of all compact cars were Rambler

Classics, Ford Falcons, Plymouth Valiants, and Chevrolet Corvairs.

In December 1958, surgical insurance was linked into the index as part of the health

insurance series because of the increasing number of workers obtaining insurance coverage

for major medical expenses, including surgery, much of which was through collective

bargaining agreements. About two-thirds of the health insurance weight was allocated to

hospitalization insurance, which had been priced for the index since 1950; the remainder

was assigned to surgical insurance. Blue Shield rates were obtained for surgical insurance for the predominant family contract in use in each city, just as Blue Cross premium

rates had been used for hospitalization insurance. Changes in rates were evaluated by

the local plans on the basis of changes in costs of covered services, changes in utilization (total claims paid), and changes in benefits. Changes in costs due both to

higher prices for services and to increased utilization were treated as price changes;

rate differences attributed to changes in coverage of benefits were treated as quality

changes and linked out of the index.

In March 1960, the sample of prescriptions was revised in consultation with the

American Pharmaceutical Association to represent new types of drugs. Items representing

seven prescription categories were linked into the index in place of the three prescriptions formerly priced— penicillin tablets, narcotic, and non-narcotic preparations. The

new prescription categories were anti-infectives, sedatives and hypnotics, ataractics,

antispasmodics, antiarthritics, cough preparations, and cardiovasculars and antihypertensives. Pricing of penicillin tablets, which had been priced as a separate item since

1951, was continued as a representative item under anti-infectives. Similarly, pricing

of elixir terpin-hydrate with codeine, also priced since 1951, was continued under cough

preparations. The overall weight for prescriptions was not changed but was reallocated

to the new items on the basis of data provided by industry sources.

In February 1959, the pricing of filter tip cigarettes by the package in drug stores

and tobacco shops,and by the carton in grocery stores, was initiated because of their

growing importance. Each of the former weights for cigarettes by the package and by the

carton were divided equally between filter and plain tips. A study of cigarette production during 1958 indicated that filter tip cigarettes equalled 45 to 50 percent of

total cigarette production.

in the Consumer Price Index," Monthly Labor Review, May, 1961, Reprint 2368.

A long-term comparison of price trends for filter and plain tip cigarettes showed that

price movements of the two types had been markedly dissimilar. Therefore, separate item

indexes were initiated for each kind, combining carton and package prices with equal

weights.

Revision of Reporter Samples

Medical Care: An expansion of the samples of physicians, dentists, and hospitals from

which medical care prices were obtained was inaugurated in 1958. Steadily increasing

medical care costs resulting from an increasing number of hospital employees per patient,

increased pay of hospital employees, more advanced techniques, higher standards of adequacy, and increasing use of medical care facilities focused attention to the need for

more accurate measurement of price changes. A comprehensive review of the samples of

physicians reporting medical and surgical fees demonstrated that: (1) the samples were

too heavily weighted by physicians in the older age groups; (2) price trends of office and

house visits were affected by the age of the physician; (3) the samples did not properly

represent fees of specialists; and (4) the samples were not adequately distributed by

geographic location within a city.

The sample of physicians reporting fees for office and house visits was tripled in the

"20 large cities for which indexes were published. New samples were selected in Washington

by probability sampling from the 1958 edition of the American Medical Directory and were

reviewed in the field with local medical associations. Before selection, universe listings

were stratified by age, type of physician, and geographic location within each city in

order to correct the maldistributions of the previous samples. As a result of the revision,

the age distribution was shifted downward significantly. The new sample excluded all

reporters over 80 years of age, and about 12-1/2 percent of reporters were in the 30-39 age

group, none of whom had been included in the old sample. The new sample of reporters was

distributed throughout the city, rather than clustered around the downtown area as in the

old sample. In addition, samples of physicians reporting fees for obstetrical cases, tonsillectomy, and appendectomy were greatly expanded and adjusted to provide a better representation of the type of physician, i.e., specialist vs. general practitioner, performing

the specified service. Pricing was initiated over a period of several months and the new

samples were introduced into the index as pricing was completed.

Expansion of Pricing into Suburban Areas: Heavy population shifts to the suburbs and

the rapid growth of neighborhood and suburban shopping centers raised questions as to the

adequacy of the geographical coverage of stores sampled for the index. Expansion of outlet

samples for commodities and services other than food to the suburban areas of San Francisco

and Washington was undertaken to provide the information needed to determine whether stores

in suburban areas have patterns of price change different from those of downtown stores.

On the basis of data available on location of shopping areas, volume of sales by type of

store or by shopping area, and other information on retail distribution, samples of representative communities outside the city limits but within the metropolitan area of these

two cities were selected. Representative stores or service establishments in these

communities were selected and pricing was initiated for each commodity or service category. The new samples were introduced into the index by linking beginning early in 1960.

Changes in Estimating Procedures

Prior to March 1963, monthly price changes for cities surveyed quarterly were estimated

on the basis of changes in the five largest U.S. cities, which are priced monthly. This

procedure was discontinued for all goods and services except new cars. Instead, prices in

unpriced cities were held constant at their last reported levels. This change introduced

a slight lag but avoided the necessity of making corrections for overestimates or underestimates resulting from the use of the previous procedure.

Quality Adjustments

Between 1959 and 1963, two important advances were made in the Bureau's continuing

efforts to make appropriate adjustments in prices for differences in the quality of items

priced from one period to the next. These were the measurement of price changes for

houses and for new cars. Following extensive analysis of FHA sales transactions, a procedure was inaugurated in October 1962 to take account of the gradual aging of homes

within a calendar year. The assumption was made that the difference in price between

similar houses a year apart in age was a measure of the annual depreciation. Adjustment

for this factor was to be made in comparing prices of houses a year apart in age from

one month to the next, in a manner analogous to the procedure already in effect for used

cars. At the same time, 11 new classes of homes, by occupancy, age, and size in square

feet were established, and new class weights were determined on the basis of FHA transactions for 1958.

In the fall of 1959, when 1960 model automobiles were introduced, a major change was

made in the procedures for making adjustments for differences in quality between old and

new models. Until then, new car prices had been adjusted at retail only for changes in

optional features which were included in the basic car price for 1 year, but which were

extra cost equipment in another, or vice-versa. Beginning in 1960, the need for quality

adjustments was evaluated jointly for the WPI and the CPI on the basis of detailed data

provided by the manufacturers. Adjustments resulting from safety or other structural

engineering changes were handled similarly in both indexes. Where necessary, adjustments were estimated at the retail level in the same proportion as at the manufacturing

level.

New Standard Reference Base

In January 1962, following a recommendation by the Bureau of the Budget for all Federal

government general purpose index numbers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began to publish

the Consumer Price Index on the new standard reference base of 1957-59=100. The primary

purpose of rebasing from the former base of 1947-49=100 was to provide a more current

reference period for users. General plans call for rebasing at about 10-year intervals

in the future. Insofar as possible, all previous series were converted mathematically to

the new base.

Since the rebasing of the index was a simple mathematical operation and the relative

importance of components was not affected, it caused no discontinuity in the indexes.

Except for possible minor rounding differences, percent changes computed from period to

period will be the same regardless of the reference base used.

The conversion was accomplished by dividing the indexes published on the 1947-49 reference base by the arithmetic average of the 36 monthly indexes for the 1957-59=100 period,

and multiplying the result by 100. If a series did not have 36 monthly indexes, such as

for items and cities published on quarterly cycles, the three previously computed annual

average indexes for 1957, 1958 and 1959 were used to obtain the average for the reference

base period.

As a convenience to users, many of whom had irrevocable escalation contracts calling

for the use of indexes on the former base, the Bureau continued to publish the United

States and city all items and selected component indexes on the former base (1947-49=100)

through June 1964. After that date, only the all items indexes were continued on the

former base

Relative Importance of Components

Value weights are used to combine the individual price changes in the calculation of

the all items or other group indexes as explained in Bulletin 1256. The relative importance of an item is its expenditure or value weight expressed as a percent of all items.

Except for minor changes caused by the replacement of one item by another or the

introduction of a new item, the quantities and qualities of goods and services are kept

unchanged between weight revisions. Thus, any movement in the index from month to

month results only from changes in prices. At the time of a revision, such figures

show approximately the way urban consumers actually spend their money. Relative values

change as prices change and, after the passage of time, they become less representative

of actual expenditure patterns. Table D shows the relative importance of all items,

major groups, special groups, and individual items in the old series index in

December 1963. These value weights show how consumers would have allocated their

expenditures if they had continued to buy the same kinds and amounts of goods and services as they had at the time of the previous weight revision, which was completed in

December 1952. They do not show the distribution of expenditures as of December 1963.
