Producer Price Indexes -- June 2002 

The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods edged up 0.1 percent in June, seasonally adjusted, the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. This slight increase followed 

decreases of 0.4 percent in May and 0.2 percent in April. At the earlier stages of processing, the intermediate 

goods index moved up 0.2 percent, following a 0.5-percent decline in May. Prices for crude goods turned down 

3.6 percent in June, after increasing 1.7 percent in the previous month. (See table A.)

 Among finished goods, prices for finished goods other than foods and energy rose 0.2 percent in June, 

after showing no change in the prior month. The finished consumer foods index increased 0.1 percent, 

following a 0.2-percent decline in May. The index for finished energy goods showed no change, compared with 

a 2.3-percent decline in the previous month. 

 

 During the first 6 months of 2002, the finished goods price index advanced at a 1.5-percent seasonally 

adjusted annual rate (SAAR), after falling at a 5.4-percent rate in the latter half of 2001. In the first half of this 

year, finished energy goods prices increased at a 12.1-percent SAAR, compared with a 31.2-percent rate of 

decline for the last 6 months of 2001. By contrast, the finished consumer foods index decreased at a 1.8-percent 

SAAR from December 2001 to June 2002, following a 1.3-percent rate of decrease during the previous 6 

months. Prices for finished goods other than foods and energy rose at a 0.3-percent SAAR for the first 6 

months of this year, the same rate of increase as in the second half of 2001. At the earlier stages of processing, 

the intermediate goods index increased at a 2.7-percent SAAR from December 2001 to June 2002, after falling 

at a 7.6-percent rate during the prior 6 months. Crude goods prices advanced at a 22.3-percent SAAR during 

the first half of 2002, following a 36.2-percent rate of decrease in the final 6 months of 2001. (See summary

 Before seasonal adjustment, the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods rose 0.3 percent in June to 

stand at 139.2 (1982=100). From June 2001 to June 2002, prices for finished goods decreased 2.1 percent. 

During the same period, the index for finished energy goods dropped 12.4 percent and prices for finished 

consumer foods fell 1.7 percent. On the other hand, the index for finished goods other than foods and energy 

increased 0.3 percent. Prices received by producers of intermediate goods moved down 2.7 percent for the 12 

months ended in June 2002, and the index for crude goods declined 11.8 percent during the same period. 

 

Finished goods

Technical Note 

Brief Explanation of Producer Price Indexes 

 The term Producer Price Index (PPI) refers to a family of indexes that measure the average change over time in the selling prices 

received by domestic producers of goods and services. PPIs measure price change from the perspective of the seller. This contrasts 

with other measures, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI); CPIs measure price change from the purchaser's perspective. Sellers' 

and purchasers' prices may differ due to government subsidies, sales and excise taxes, and distribution costs. 

 More than 10,000 PPIs for individual products and groups of products are released each month. PPIs are available for the products 

of virtually every industry in the mining and manufacturing sectors of the U.S. economy. New PPIs are gradually being introduced for 

the products of industries in the transportation, utilities, trade, finance, and services sectors of the economy. 

 More than 100,000 price quotations per month are organized into three sets of producer price indexes: (1) stage-of-processing 

indexes; (2) commodity indexes; and (3) indexes for the net output of industries and their products. The stage-of-processing structure 

(tables 1, 2, and 5) organizes products by class of buyer and degree of fabrication. The commodity structure (tables 2 and 3) organizes 

products by similarity of end-use or material composition. The entire output of various industries is sampled to derive price indexes 

for the net output of industries and their products (table 4). 

 Within the stage-of-processing system, finished goods are commodities that will not undergo further processing and are ready for 

sale to the final demand user, either an individual consumer or business firm. Consumer foods include unprocessed foods such as 

eggs and fresh vegetables, as well as processed foods such as bakery products and meats. Other finished consumer goods include

durable goods such as automobiles, household furniture, and appliances; and nondurable goods such as apparel and home heating oil. 

Capital equipment includes producer durable goods such as heavy motor trucks, tractors, and machine tools. 

 The stage-of-processing category for intermediate materials, supplies, and components consists partly of commodities that have 

been processed but require further processing. Examples of such semifinished goods include flour, cotton yarn, steel mill products, 

and lumber. The intermediate goods category also encompasses nondurable physically complete items purchased by business firms as 

inputs for their operations. Examples include diesel fuel, belts and belting, paper boxes, and fertilizers. 

 Crude materials for further processing are products entering the market for the first time that have not been manufactured or 

fabricated and that are not sold directly to consumers. Crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs include items such as grains and livestock. 

Examples of crude nonfood materials include raw cotton, crude petroleum, coal, hides and skins, and iron and steel scrap. 

 Producer price indexes for the net output of industries and their products are grouped according to the Standard Industrial 

Classification (SIC). Industry price indexes are compatible with other economic time series organized by SIC codes, such as data on 

employment, wages, and productivity. Table 4 lists indexes for the net output of major mining and manufacturing industry groups at 

the 2-digit level. 

 Producer price indexes are based on selling prices reported by establishments of all sizes selected by probability sampling, with the 

probability of selection proportionate to size. Individual items and transaction terms from these firms are also chosen by probability 

proportionate to size. BLS strongly encourages cooperating companies to supply actual transaction prices at the time of shipment to 

minimize the use of list prices. Prices are normally reported by mail questionnaire for the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th. 

 

 Price data are provided on a voluntary and confidential basis; no one but sworn BLS employees are allowed access to individual 

company price reports. The Bureau publishes price indexes instead of unit dollar prices. All producer price indexes are routinely 

subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents. 

 The BLS periodically updates the PPI sample of survey respondents to better reflect current conditions when the structure, 

membership, technology, or product mix of an industry shifts significantly and to spread reporting burden among smaller firms. 

Results of these resampling efforts are incorporated into the PPI every January and July. 
 As part of an ongoing effort to expand coverage to sectors of the economy other than mining and manufacturing, an increasing 

number of service sector industries have been introduced into the PPI. The following list of recently introduced service industries 

includes the month in which an article describing the industry's content appeared in the PPI Detailed Report:

 Weights for most traditional commodity groupings of the PPI, as well as all indexes (such as stage-of-processing indexes) 

calculated from traditional commodity groupings, currently reflect 1992 values of shipments as reported in the Census of 

Manufactures and other sources. From January 1992 through December 1995, PPI weights were derived from 1987 shipment values. 

Industry indexes shown in table 4 are also now calculated with 1992 net output weights. This periodic update of the value weights 

used to calculate the PPI is done to more accurately reflect changes in production and marketing patterns in the economy. 

 Net output values of shipments are used as weights for industry indexes. Net output values refer to the value of shipments from 

establishments in one industry to establishments classified in another industry. However, weights for commodity price indexes are 

based on gross shipment values, including shipment values between establishments within the same industry. As a result, broad 

commodity grouping indexes such as the all commodities index are affected by the multiple counting of price change at successive 

stages of processing, which can lead to exaggerated or misleading signals about inflation. Stage-of-processing indexes partially 

correct this defect, but industry indexes consistently correct for this at all levels of aggregation. Therefore, industry and stage-ofprocessing indexes are more appropriate than broad commodity groupings for economic analysis of general price trends. 

 Effective with publication of January 1988 data, many important PPI series (including stage-of-processing groupings and most 

commodity groups and individual items) were placed on a new reference base, 1982=100. From 1971 through 1987, the standard 

reference base for most PPI series was 1967=100. Except for rounding differences, the shift to the new reference base did not alter any 

changes to previously published percent changes for affected PPI series. (See "Calculating Index Changes," below.) The new 

reference base is not used for indexes with a base later than December 1981, nor for indexes for the net output of industries and their 

products. 

 For further information on the underlying concepts and methodology of the Producer Price Index, see chapter 14, "Producer 

Prices," in BLS Handbook of Methods (April 1997), Bulletin 2490. Reprints are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 

request. 
Calculating Index Changes 

 Each index measures price changes from a reference period which equals 100.0 (1982 or some later month). An increase of 5.5 

percent from the reference period in the Finished Goods Price Index, for example, is shown as 105.5. This change can also be 

expressed in dollars as follows: "Prices received by domestic producers of a systematic sample of finished goods have risen from 

$100 in 1982 to $105.50 today." Likewise, a current index of 90.0 would indicate that prices received by producers of finished goods 

today are 10 percent lower than they were in 1982. 

 Movements of price indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than as 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 shows the computation of index point and percent changes. 

 Index point change 

 Finished Goods Price Index 107.5 

 Less previous index 104.0 

 Equals index point change 3.5 

 Index percent change 

 Index point change 3.5 

 Divided by the previous index 104.0 

 Equals 0.034 

 Result multiplied by 100 0.034 x 100 

 Equals percent change 3.4 

 

 

Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data 

 Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted 

and unadjusted changes each month. Seasonally adjusted data are preferred for analyzing general price trends in the economy because 

they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at about the same time and in about the same magnitude every year--such as 

price movements resulting from normal weather patterns, regular production and marketing cycles, model changeovers, seasonal 

discounts, and holidays. For these reasons, seasonally adjusted data more clearly reveal underlying cyclical trends. 

 Unadjusted data are of primary interest to users who need information that can be related to actual dollar values of transactions. 

Individuals requiring this information include marketing specialists, purchasing agents, budget and cost analysts, contract specialists, 

and commodity traders. It is the unadjusted data that are generally cited in escalating long-term contracts such as purchasing

agreements or real estate leases. (See Escalation and Producer Price Indexes: A Guide for Contracting Parties, BLS Report 807, 

September 1991, available on request from BLS.) 

 For more information, see (1) "Appendix A: Seasonal Adjustment Methodology at BLS," in the BLS Handbook of Methods (April 

1997), Bulletin 2490 and (2) "Summary of Changes to the PPI's Seasonal Adjustment Methodology" in the January 1995 issue of 

Producer Price Indexes.
