The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. Indexes are available for the U.S. and various geographic areas. Average price data for select utility, automotive fuel, and food items are also available. Prices for the goods and services used to calculate the CPI are collected in 75 urban areas throughout the country and from about 23,000 retail and service establishments. Data on rents are collected from about 43,000 landlords or tenants. More information and details about the data provided can be found at http://www.bls.gov/cpi

This article describes the new RPIJ measure of Consumer Price Inflation. RPIJ is a Retail Prices Index (RPI) based measure that will use a geometric (Jevons) formula in place of one type of arithmetic formula (Carli). It is being launched in response to the National Statistician's conclusion that the RPI does not meet international standards due to the use of the Carli formula in its calculation. The accompanying Excel file includes a back series for RPIJ from 1997 to 2012.

The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) is the preferred measure of inflation used in the application of monetary policy by the Bank of England. Within the System of National Accounts, and subsequently the ESA, the preferred measure of inflation is the Implied Price Deflator (IPD). Historically, the indices have behaved broadly similar, however since around 2007 Q4 the divergence in the indices has increased and become more volatile. The plan for this article is to cover the conceptual and scope differences between the CPI and Household Final Consumption Expenditure Implied Price Deflator. There will be an empirical analysis on how and why the two indices differ over time.

Context

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics monitors and collects day-to-day information about the market price of raw inputs and finished goods, and publishes regularized statistical assays of this data. The Consumer Price Index and the Producer Price Index are its two most famous products. The former tracks the aggregate dollar price of consumer goods in the United States (things like onions, shovels, and smartphones); the latter (this dataset) tracks the cost of raw inputs to the industries producing those goods (things like raw steel, bulk leather, and processed chemicals).

The US federal government uses this dataset to track inflation. While in the short term the raw dollar value of producer inputs may be volatile, in the long term it will always go up due to inflation --- the slowly decreasing buying power of the US dollar.

Content

This dataset consists of a packet of files, each one tracking regularized cost of inputs for certain industries. The data is tracked-month to month with an index out of 100.
