Changes in the Sample for Producer Price Indexes

Changes in the commodity sample used to calculate producer price indexes were made in July 1979. Within the fixed weight concept, sample changes are designed to improve primary market coverage and to account for changes in production and marketing patterns.

In January 1980, there were no changes. Specifica­tions for new commodities are listed in table 1. The number of changes by major commodity group is shown in the following tabulation:

Eight products were added and ten products were dropped in the list of commodities used for calculating producer price indexes in July 1979. The sample now includes 2,763 items, compared with 2,765 in January 1979. The principal sample changes affected the stage- of-processing grouping for intermediate materials for nondurable manufacturing as a new subproduct class was introduced for rubber roll coverings, consisting of graphic arts, paper mill, steel mill, and industrial roll coverings.

Relative Importance of Components by Stage of Processing

The relative importance of a component of the Pro­ducer Price Index represents the value weight that is allocated to a particular stage-of-processing (SOP) category—finished goods, intermediate materials, or crude materials—expressed as a percentage of the total weight of the SOP category. Table 2 presents the relative importance of commodity groupings by SOP category in December 1979.

Commodities at the subproduct class (6-digit) level are assigned to SOP indexes according to the class of customer and the amount of processing, manufactur­

ing, or assembling to which those commodities are sub­jected before they enter the market. The weight-of each subproduct class is allocated among the various SOP in­dexes in accordance with the relative proportion of out­put accounted for at each level of processing.

For a more detailed explanation of SOP indexes, see “Brief Explanation of Producer Price Indexes,” on p. 118. For more information on relative importance data and an explanation of how to construct special SOP indexes, see Producer Prices and Price Indexes, Supplement 1979, Data for 1978, pp. 11-13.

Relative Importance of Commodities, All Levels

The relative importance of a commodity on a specific date represents the value of shipments of the commodi­ty, plus the value of unpriced commodities assumed to have price movements similar to those of the priced items, expressed as a percentage of the All Commodities Index. Table 3 shows the relative importance of items and groupings in December 1979.1

The basic value weights currently used to combine price changes of individual commodities in the sample are based on shipment values as reported in the 1972 in­dustrial censuses, adjusted for price change between the weight date (1972) and the specified date.

For a description of the procedures for calculating

relative importance data and a method for regrouping component indexes into weighted special indexes, see the previous supplement, Producer Prices and Price In­dexes, Supplement 1979, Data for 1978, pp. 10 and 11.

‘ Relative importance figures for earlier periods are published in an­nual bulletin, Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes, through 1963. A major weight revision in December 1966 and additions and deletions in December of each year are published in the final monthly report, Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes, for each subsequent January through 1971. Since 1971, data are published in annual supplements of this report.

Test Data for the Producer Price Index Revision

Table 13 shows test data for 1979 from the pilot survey for the Producer Price Index revision. The pilot survey was conducted to test methods and procedures for a comprehensive, industry-by-industry revision to improve the indexes. The revision is scheduled for com­pletion in 1985.

The four industries covered in the pilot survey are: Soybean oil mills (SIC 2075), newspaper printing and publishing (SIC 2711), concrete products other than block and brick (SIC 3272), and household laundry equipment (SIC 3633). These industries were selected because they offered a wide range of pricing problems on which to test the new techniques. Indexes covering some of these same industries will continue to be calculated under the old program.

These pilot survey indexes differ from indexes in the current Producer Price Index in a number of important respects:

(1) They are industry-based indexes. The entire output o f each industry is sampled,in­cluding secondary production and miscellaneous receipts. The current Producer Price Indexes are based on a sample of major products. Even the Industry-Sector Price Indexes (iSPi’s) are derived from these product in­dexes. The current isp i’s do not price miscellaneous receipts, and the prices for primary and secondary production are ob­tained from any producer of the product even if that producer does not belong to the industry. The newly published pilot survey indexes are derived from prices supplied strictly by producers within the industry. As a result, the pilot product indexes apply only to the production within the industry. After all mining and manufacturing industries are covered by the revision, product indexes will be constructed covering all production of the product.

(2) These new indexes are classified in accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system and incorporate most features of the Census of Manufactures product code extension of the SIC. The coding will make the data easier to use in conjunction with other industry-oriented economic data.

(3) Net output values o f shipments are used as weights in preparing the index. Net output values refer to the value of shipments leav­ing the industry. In contrast, the weights us­ed in the current ppi’s and ispi’s are gross shipment values, which include shipments within an industry. The resulting multiple counting o f price changes is one of the ma­jor defects of the current indexes. The cur­rent stage-of-processm g indexes partially correct this defect, but the new indexes con­sistently correct it at all levels.

(4) Increased emphasis is being given to obtaining actual transaction prices at the time o f ship­ment. Although it has been a general objec­tive of the current program to obtain trans­action prices, they have not been obtained for significant portions of the index. In ad­dition, some products in the current ppi in­tentionally have been priced at order prices rather than shipment prices.

(5) Probability sampling was used to select the firms to be asked to report prices. As a result, firms of all sizes are included in the sample. In addition, within the firm, the individual items to be priced and the terms of the trans­action were chosen using prob ab ility techniques. In the current ppi, major com­panies selected on a judgment basis are ask­ed to report prices for volume-selling items under “ typical” transaction terms.

Since this is a pilot survey, a number of changes will be introduced as the full-scale survey is put in place. These changes include the following:

(1) Greater product detail will generally be available because of larger sample sizes and increased capabilities to combine product areas that are not publishable by themselves. The 5-digit product class indexes, which cannot npw be calculated, will be produced.

(2) Ultimately, the survey will cover all shipments by all 493 industries in mining and manufac­turing. The present ppi’s cover only about 50 percent o f this value; the pilot survey covers about 2 percent of it.

(3) Improved calculation techniques will be in­troduced, including the use of Census of Manufactures shipment data to weight the 7-digit product indexes to higher levels. The pilot indexes rely on the estimated relative importance of products based on shipment data derived from the survey itself.

(4) Estimates of sampling error will be published.For further information on the underlying concepts

and methodology of the Producer Price Index revision, see “ Improving the Measurement of Producer Price Change,” by John F. Early, in the April 1978 issue of the Monthly Labor Review . Reprints are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics upon request.

Price Indexes for Railroad Freight

Price indexes for railroad freight are based on a prob­ability sample of actual shipments. The prices are derived from tariffs in effect on the 15th of the month as published by various bureaus, agents, and railroads. The indexes are calculated from a Laspeyres fixed- weighted index formula. Data are available back to January 1969. For a more detailed description, see “ In­troducing Indexes for Railroad Freight” , Monthly Labor Review, June 1975, and “ New Sample for the Railroad Freight Index,” Producer Prices and Price In­dexes, June 1979.

Table 14 shows 1979 data for total railroad freight and selected groups. Month-to-month percent changes are shown in table 15, and standard deviations for these changes are presented in table 16. Standard deviations for the indexes themselves are not currently available; however, a methodology is under development.

The indexes and percent changes published in tables 14 and 15 are estimates based on a sample of freight transactions. If a different sample had been selected, a different set of estimates would have been derived. The

standard deviation attempts to measure the dispersion of the estimates associated with the various possible samples. A large standard deviation means that there is a high probability that a different sample would pro­duce a very different result; a small standard deviation indicates a low probability that a different sample would produce a very different result. It is customary to create a 95-percent confidence interval for each estimate by adding twice the standard deviation to the estimate (the upper limit) and by subtracting twice the standard deviation from the estimate (the lower limit). For exam­ple, in table 15 the estimated percent changes for the total railroad freight index for December 1979 was 0.2 percent; the corresponding estimated standard deviation from table 16 equalled 0.07. Therefore, the 95-percent confidence interval for the December 1979 percent change for total railroad freight equalled 0.2 plus or minus 0.14; i.e., between 0.06 and 0.34. Under ap­propriate assumptions, estimates from 95 percent of the possible samples will be between the upper and the lower limit.

Brief Explanation of Producer Indexes Price

Producer price indexes measure average changes in prices received in primary markets of the United States by producers of commodities in all stages of processing. These data were previously presented as the Wholesale Price Index. The name “ Producer Price Indexes” is now being used to reflect more accurately the coverage of the data. The sample used for calculating these in­dexes continues to contain nearly 2,800 commodities and about 10,000 quotations selected to represent the movement of prices o f all commodities produced in the manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, gas and electricity, and public utilities sectors. The universe includes all commodities produced or imported for sale in commercial transactions in primary markets in the United States.

Producer price indexes can be organized by stage of processing or by commodity. The stage-of-processing structure organizes products by degree of fabrication (i.e., finished goods, intermediate or semifinished goods, and crude materials). The commodity structure organizes products by similarity of end-use or material composition.

Finished goods are commodities that will not undergo further processing and are ready for sale to the ultimate user, either an individual consumer or a business firm. Capital equipment (formerly called producer finished goods) includes commodities such as motor trucks, farm equipment, and machine tools. Finished consumer goods include foods and other types of goods eventually purchased by retailers and used by consumers. 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 durables such as automobiles, household furniture, and jewelry, and nondurables such as apparel and gasoline.

Intermediate materials, supplies, and components are commodities that have been processed but require fur­ther processing before they become finished goods. Ex­amples of such semifinished goods include flour, cotton yarns, steel mill products, belts and belting, lumber, liq­uefied petroleum gas, paper boxes, and motor vehicle parts.

Crude materials fo r further processing include prod­ucts entering the market for the first time which have not been manufactured or fabricated but will be pro­cessed before becoming finished goods. Scrap materials are also included. Crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs in­clude items such as grains and livestock. Examples of crude nonfood materials include raw cotton, crude petroleum, natural gas, hides and skins, and iron and steel scrap.

For analysis of general price trends, stage-of- processing indexes are more useful than commodity grouping indexes. This is because commodity grouping indexes sometimes produce exaggerated or misleading signals o f price changes by reflecting the same price movement through various stages of processing. For ex­ample, suppose that a price rise for steel scrap results in an increase in the price of steel sheet and then an ad­vance in prices of automobiles produced from that steel. The All Commodities Price Index and the Industrial Commodities Price Index would reflect the same price movement three times—once for the steel scrap, once for the steel sheet, and once for the automobiles. This multiple counting occurs because the weighting struc­ture for the All Commodities Index uses the total ship­ment values for all commodities at all stages of process­ing. On the other hand, the Finished Goods Price Index would reflect the change in automobile prices, the In­termediate Materials Price Index would reflect the steel sheet price change, and the Crude Materials Price Index would reflect the rise in the price of steel scrap. (See il­lustration.)

To the extent possible, prices used in calculating pro­ducer price indexes apply to the first significant com­mercial transaction in the United States, from the pro­duction or central marketing point. Price data are generally collected monthly, primarily by mail question­naire. Respondents are asked to provide net prices or to provide all applicable discounts. BLS attempts to base producer price indexes on actual transaction prices; however, list or book prices are used if transaction prices are not available. Most prices are obtained direct­ly from producing companies on a voluntary and con­fidential basis, but some prices are taken from trade publications or from other Government agencies. Prices generally are reported for the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th day of the month.

Calculating Index ChangesMovements of price 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 box shows the computation of index point and percent changes.

Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates that 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.

Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data

Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publish­ed seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month.

For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted data usually are preferred because they eliminate the effect o f 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 this reason, seasonally ad­justed data more clearly reveal the underlying cyclical

In calculating producer price indexes, price changes for the various commodities are averaged together with weights representing their importance in the total net selling value of all commodities as o f 1972. The detailed data are aggregated to obtain indexes for stage-of- processing groupings, commodity groupings, durability o f product groupings, and a number of special com4 posite groupings. Each index measures price changes from a reference period which equals 100.0 (usually 1967,) as designated by the Office of Management and Budget. An increase o f 125 percent from the reference period in the Finished Goods Price Index, for example, is shown as 225.0. This change can also be expressed in dollars, as follows: “ The price of a representative sam­ple o f finished goods sold in primary markets in the United States has risen from $100 in 1967 to $225.”

trends. Seasonally adjusted data are subject to revision when seasonal factors are revised each year.

The unadjusted data are of primary interest to users who need information which can be related to the actual dollar values of transactions. Individuals requiring this

information include marketing specialists, purchasing agents, budget and cost analysts, contract specialists, and commodity traders. Unadjusted data generally are used in escalating contracts such as purchase agreements or real estate leases.
