PRODUCER PRICE INDEXES - DECEMBER 2019

The Producer Price Index for final demand edged up 0.1 percent in December, seasonally
adjusted, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Final demand prices were
unchanged in November and rose 0.4 percent in October. (See table A.) On an unadjusted basis,
the final demand index moved up 1.3 percent in 2019, after a 2.6-percent advance in 2018.

The December increase in the final demand index was the result of a 0.3-percent rise in prices for
final demand goods. The index for final demand services was unchanged.

Prices for final demand less foods, energy, and trade services inched up 0.1 percent in December
following no change in November. In 2019, the index for final demand less foods, energy, and
trade services climbed 1.5 percent after advancing 2.8 percent in 2018.

Final Demand

Final demand goods: The index for final demand goods rose 0.3 percent in December, the same as
in November. Most of the increase in December can be traced to a 1.5-percent advance in prices for
final demand energy. The index for final demand goods less foods and energy edged up 0.1 percent.
In contrast, prices for final demand foods moved down 0.2 percent.

Product detail: Over 60 percent of the December increase in the index for final demand goods can be
attributed to a 3.7-percent advance in gasoline prices. The indexes for diesel fuel, fresh fruits and
melons, carbon steel scrap, residential electric power, and pork also moved higher. Conversely,
prices for beef and veal fell 7.0 percent. The indexes for jet fuel and for plastic resins and materials
also declined. (See table 4.)

Final demand services: Prices for final demand services were unchanged in December following a
0.3-percent decrease in November. In December, a 2.7-percent advance in the index for final demand
transportation and warehousing services offset a 0.3-percent decline in margins for final demand
trade services and a 0.1-percent decrease in the index for final demand services less trade,
transportation, and warehousing. (Trade indexes measure changes in margins received by
wholesalers and retailers.)

Product detail: In December, prices for transportation of passengers (partial) jumped 8.5 percent.
The indexes for machinery and vehicle wholesaling; machinery and equipment parts and supplies
wholesaling; health, beauty, and optical goods retailing; and portfolio management also increased. In
contrast, margins for apparel, jewelry, footwear, and accessories retailing declined 3.7 percent. The
indexes for chemicals and allied products wholesaling, guestroom rental, fuels and lubricants
retailing, and professional and commercial equipment wholesaling also moved lower.

Intermediate Demand by Commodity Type

Within intermediate demand in December, prices for processed goods edged up 0.1 percent, the
index for unprocessed goods rose 1.8 percent, and prices for services advanced 0.4 percent. (See
tables B and C.)

Processed goods for intermediate demand: The index for processed goods for intermediate
demand moved up 0.1 percent in December, the third consecutive rise. Most of the increase in
December can be attributed to prices for processed energy goods, which rose 1.0 percent. The index
for processed foods and feeds edged up 0.1 percent. Conversely, prices for processed materials less
foods and energy declined 0.2 percent. In 2019, the index for processed goods for intermediate
demand fell 1.7 percent following a 2.8-percent advance in 2018.

Product detail: Leading the December increase in the index for processed goods for intermediate
demand, prices for diesel fuel jumped 6.4 percent. The indexes for gasoline, primary basic organic
chemicals, fabricated structural metal, and processed young chickens also moved up. In contrast,
prices for steel mill products declined 1.8 percent. The indexes for natural gas to electric utilities,
beef and veal, and lubricating oil base stocks also fell. (See table 5.)

Unprocessed goods for intermediate demand: The index for unprocessed goods for intermediate
demand increased 1.8 percent in December after jumping 3.9 percent in November. Over half of the
broad-based rise in December can be traced to prices for unprocessed foodstuffs and feedstuffs,
which advanced 2.3 percent. The indexes for unprocessed nonfood materials less energy and for
unprocessed energy materials climbed 3.0 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively. In 2019, prices for
unprocessed goods for intermediate demand dropped 7.3 percent after advancing 3.7 percent in 2018.

Product detail: A major factor in the December increase in prices for unprocessed goods for
intermediate demand was the index for raw milk, which rose 8.8 percent. Prices for crude petroleum,
slaughter poultry, carbon steel scrap, slaughter steers and heifers, and fresh fruits and melons also
moved higher. Conversely, the index for natural gas fell 4.6 percent. Prices for corn and wastepaper
also moved lower.

Services for intermediate demand: The index for services for intermediate demand increased 0.4 
percent in December after three consecutive declines. Over 40 percent of the broad-based advance 
can be traced to prices for transportation and warehousing services for intermediate demand, which 
climbed 1.2 percent. The indexes for services less trade, transportation, and warehousing for 
intermediate demand and for trade services for intermediate demand moved up 0.2 percent and 0.3 
percent, respectively. In 2019, prices for services for intermediate demand rose 1.8 percent following 
a 3.1-percent increase in 2018.

Product detail: In December, prices for arrangement of freight and cargo transportation climbed 4.0 
percent. The indexes for machinery and equipment parts and supplies wholesaling, transportation of 
passengers (partial), portfolio management, television advertising time sales, and staffing services 
also moved higher. In contrast, margins for chemicals and allied products wholesaling fell 4.2 
percent. Prices for deposit services (partial) and for tax preparation and planning also decreased.

Intermediate Demand by Production Flow

Stage 4 intermediate demand: Prices for stage 4 intermediate demand increased 0.3 percent in
December, the largest advance since rising 0.3 percent in July. In December, the indexes for both
total goods inputs and total services inputs to stage 4 intermediate demand moved up 0.4 percent,
while prices for total construction inputs were unchanged. (See table 3.) Increases in the indexes for
machinery and equipment parts and supplies wholesaling, diesel fuel, portfolio management,
transportation of passengers (partial), gross rents for retail properties, and fresh fruits and melons
outweighed declines in the indexes for chemicals and allied products wholesaling, beef and veal, and
deposit services (partial). (See table 6.) In 2019, prices for stage 4 intermediate demand advanced 1.4
percent after rising 3.1 percent in 2018.

Stage 3 intermediate demand: Prices for stage 3 intermediate demand rose 0.6 percent in December
following no change in November. In December, the index for total goods inputs to stage 3
intermediate demand jumped 1.1 percent, and prices for total services inputs moved up 0.2 percent.
Advances in the indexes for raw milk, slaughter poultry, gasoline, machinery and equipment parts
and supplies wholesaling, diesel fuel, and slaughter steers and heifers outweighed decreases in the
indexes for chemicals and allied products wholesaling, ungraded chicken eggs, and asphalt. In 2019,
prices for stage 3 intermediate demand increased 0.7 percent after climbing 2.0 percent in 2018.

Stage 2 intermediate demand: The index for stage 2 intermediate demand advanced 0.3 percent in
December following a 1.3-percent jump in November. In December, prices for total services inputs
to stage 2 intermediate demand moved up 0.7 percent. Conversely, the index for total goods inputs
fell 0.3 percent. Rising prices for transportation of passengers (partial), crude petroleum, cable
network advertising time sales, portfolio management, staffing services, and legal services
outweighed declines in the indexes for natural gas, steel mill products, and guestroom rental. In 2019,
prices for stage 2 intermediate demand decreased 3.1 percent after climbing 3.6 percent in 2018.

Stage 1 intermediate demand: Prices for stage 1 intermediate demand rose 0.7 percent in
December, the largest increase since advancing 0.9 percent in March. In December, the index for
total goods inputs to stage 1 intermediate demand jumped 1.1 percent, and prices for total services
inputs moved up 0.2 percent. Advances in the indexes for diesel fuel, carbon steel scrap,
transportation of passengers (partial), machinery and equipment parts and supplies wholesaling,
primary basic organic chemicals, and gasoline outweighed decreases in the indexes for chemicals and
allied products wholesaling, corn, and deposit services (partial). In 2019, prices for stage 1
intermediate demand fell 2.2 percent after rising 3.1 percent in 2018.

Technical Note

Brief Explanation of Producer Price Indexes

The Producer Price Index (PPI) of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is a family of
indexes that measures the average change over time in prices received (price changes) by
producers for domestically produced goods, services, and construction. 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.

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. Over time, new PPIs have been introduced for products of
industries in the services and construction sectors of the U.S. economy. As of January
2018, the PPI covered 71 percent of services as measured by 2012 Census revenue, and
31 percent of construction.

More than 100,000 price quotations per month are organized into three sets of PPIs:
(1) Final demand-Intermediate demand (FD-ID) indexes, (2) commodity indexes, and (3)
indexes for the net output of industries and their products. The FD-ID structure
organizes products by class of buyer and degree of fabrication as well as by stage of
production. The commodity structure organizes products by similarity of end use or
product type. The entire output of various industries is sampled to derive price indexes
for the net output of industries and their products.

Final Demand-Intermediate Demand Indexes

The PPI FD-ID structure measures price change for goods, services, and construction
sold to final demand and to intermediate demand. The FD-ID system replaced the PPI stage-
of-processing (SOP) system as PPI's primary aggregation model with the release of data
for January 2014. The FD-ID model expands coverage beyond that of the SOP system through
the addition of services, construction, exports, and government purchases.

Compared with finished goods under the SOP system, the PPI for final demand goods
includes nearly a 50 percent expansion of coverage. This increase can be traced to the
addition of government purchases and exports. For overall final demand, expansion to
include final demand services represents an even larger increase in coverage. In December
2017, final demand goods were about 33 percent of overall final demand, final demand
services were roughly 65.5 percent, and final demand construction was about 1.5 percent
of final demand. Within intermediate demand, coverage of services for intermediate demand
resulted in about a 45 percent increase in coverage of the intermediate demand portion of
the economy.

FD-ID indexes are constructed from commodity-based producer output price indexes.
Commodities are allocated to aggregate indexes primarily based on the type of buyer. The
main source of data used to determine the type of buyer is the "Use of commodities by
industries, before redefinition," table from the Benchmark Input-Output Accounts of the
U.S. In many cases, the same commodity is purchased by different types of buyers. As a
result, commodities are often included in several FD-ID indexes. For example, regular
gasoline is purchased for personal consumption, export, government use, and business use.
The PPI program publishes only one commodity index for regular gasoline (wpu057104),
reflecting sales to all types of buyers, and this index is used in all aggregations
regardless of whether the gasoline is sold for personal consumption, as an export, to
government, or to businesses. Proportions based on BEA "Use of Commodities" data are
used to allocate the correct portion of the total weight of gasoline to each use
category. In cases when buyer type is an important price determining characteristic,
indexes are created based on specific buyer type. For example, within the PPI category
for loan services, separate indexes for consumer loans and business loans were
constructed. For more information relating to the FD-ID structure, see "A new,
experimental system of indexes from the PPI program" in the February 2011 Monthly Labor
Review.

Final Demand: The final demand portion of the FD-ID structure measures price change for
commodities sold for personal consumption, capital investment, government, and export.
The system is composed of six main price indexes: final demand goods; final demand trade
services; final demand transportation and warehousing services; final demand services
less trade, transportation, and warehousing; final demand construction; and overall final
demand.

The final demand goods index measures price change for both unprocessed and processed
goods sold to final demand. Fresh fruits sold to consumers and computers sold for
capital investment are examples of transactions included in the final demand goods price
index. The final demand trade services index measures price change for the retailing and
wholesaling of merchandise sold to final demand, generally without transformation. (Trade
indexes measure changes in margins received by wholesalers and retailers.) The final
demand transportation and warehousing services index tracks price change for
transportation of passengers, as well as, transportation of cargo sold to final demand,
and also includes prices for warehousing and storage of goods sold to final demand. The
final demand services less trade, transportation, and warehousing index measures price
change for all services other than trade and transportation sold to final demand.
Publishing, banking, lodging, and health care are examples of these services. The final
demand construction index tracks price change for new construction, as well as
maintenance and repair construction sold to final demand. Construction of office
buildings is an example of a commodity that would be included in the final demand
construction index. Lastly, the overall final demand index tracks price change for all
types of commodities sold to final demand by combining the five final demand component
indexes described above.

Intermediate Demand: The intermediate demand portion of the FD-ID system tracks price
change for goods, services, and construction products sold to businesses as inputs to
production, excluding capital investment. The system includes two parallel treatments of
intermediate demand. The first treatment organizes intermediate demand commodities by
type. The second organizes intermediate demand commodities into production stages, with
the explicit goal of developing a forward-flow model of production and price change.

The intermediate demand by commodity type portion of the system organizes commodities
by similarity of product. The system is composed of six main price indexes: unprocessed
goods for intermediate demand; processed goods for intermediate demand; intermediate
demand trade services; intermediate demand transportation and warehousing services;
intermediate demand services less trade, transportation, and warehousing; and
intermediate demand construction.

The unprocessed goods for intermediate demand price index measures price change for
goods sold to businesses as inputs to production that have undergone no fabrication.
Crude petroleum sold to refineries is an example of an unprocessed good sold to
intermediate demand. The processed goods for intermediate demand index tracks price
change for fabricated goods sold as business inputs. Examples include car parts sold to
car manufacturers and gasoline sold to trucking companies. The index for trade services
for intermediate demand measures price change for the services of retailing and
wholesaling goods purchased by businesses as inputs to production. The intermediate
demand transportation and warehousing services index measures price change for business
travel, as well as, transportation and warehousing of cargo sold to intermediate demand.
The intermediate demand services less trade, transportation, and warehousing index
measures price change for services other than trade, transportation, and warehousing sold
as inputs to production. Legal and accounting services purchased by businesses are
examples of intermediate demand services excluding trade, transportation, and
warehousing. Finally, the construction for intermediate demand index measures price
change for construction purchased by firms as inputs to production. The index for
construction for intermediate demand tracks price change for maintenance and repair
construction purchased by firms.

The production flow treatment of intermediate demand is a stage-based system of price
indexes. These indexes can be used to study price transmission across stages of
production and final demand. This system is constructed in a manner that maximizes
forward flow of production between stages, while minimizing back-flow of production. The
production flow treatment contains four main indexes: intermediate demand stage 1,
intermediate demand stage 2, intermediate demand stage 3, and intermediate demand stage
4.

Indexes for the four stages were developed by first assigning each industry in the
economy to one of four stages of production, where industries assigned to the fourth
stage primarily produce output consumed as final demand, industries in the third stage
primarily produce output consumed by stage 4 industries, industries assigned to the
second stage primarily produce output consumed by stage 3 industries, and industries
assigned to the first stage produce output primarily consumed by stage 2 industries. The
four indexes then track prices for the net inputs consumed by industries in each of the
four stages of production. The stage 4 intermediate demand index, for example, tracks
price change for inputs consumed, but not produced, by industries included in the fourth
stage of production. Hence, the index tracks price change in inputs to industries that
primarily produce final demand commodities (stage 4 producers primarily produce
commodities sold to final demand).

Examples of heavily weighted goods-producing industries in stage 4 include the
manufacture of light trucks and utility vehicles, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals.
Retail trade, food service and drinking places, and hospitals are examples of heavily
weighted service industries included in stage 4. Stage 4 also includes all new
construction industries. Examples of goods consumed by stage 4 industries include motor
vehicle parts, commercial electric power, plastic construction products, biological
products, and beef and veal. Engineering services, machinery and equipment wholesaling,
long distance motor carrying, and legal services constitute examples of services consumed
by stage 4 industries.

Examples of highly weighted goods-producing industries included in stage 3 are motor
vehicle parts manufacturing, animal (except poultry) slaughtering and processing, and
semiconductor manufacturing. Services industries classified in stage 3 include wholesale
trade; insurance carriers; architecture, engineering, and related services; and hotels
and motels. Examples of goods consumed by stage 3 industries include slaughter steers
and heifers, industrial electric power, and hot rolled steel bars, plates, and structural
shapes. Services commonly consumed by stage 3 industries include commissions from sales
of property and casualty insurance, business loans, temporary help services, and
administrative and general management consulting services.

Petroleum refineries; electricity generation, transmission, and distribution; natural
gas distribution; cattle ranching and farming; and plastic materials and resin
manufacturing are among the goods-based industries assigned to stage 2. Services
industries that are heavily weighted in stage 2 include management of companies and
enterprises; non-depository credit intermediation; insurance agencies and brokerages; and
services to buildings and dwellings. Goods commonly purchased by stage 2 industries
include crude oil, natural gas, formula feeds, and primary basic organic chemicals.
Services that are heavily weighted in the intermediate demand stage 2 index are legal
services, business loans, and cellular phone and other wireless telecommunication.

Goods producing industries in stage 1 include oil and gas extraction, paper mills, and
grain farming. Real estate, legal services, and advertising services are examples of
highly weighted services industries included in stage 1. Examples of goods consumed by
stage 1 industries are commercial and industrial electric power and gasoline. Services
commonly consumed by stage 1 industries include solid waste collection, chemicals and
allied products wholesaling, and guestroom or unit rental. It should be noted that all
inputs purchased by stage 1 industries are by definition produced either within stage 1
or by latter stages of processing, leaving stage 1 less useful for price transmission
analysis. For additional information on industry stage assignments, see
https://www.bls.gov/ppi/industryflowstage.htm.

Comparing the PPI with CPI

Although some data users utilize the PPI as a potential indicator of the Consumer
Price Index (CPI), there are many reasons why the PPI and the CPI may diverge. The scope
of the personal consumption portion of the PPI includes all marketable output sold by
domestic producers for households. The scope of the CPI includes goods and services
provided by business or government, where explicit user charges are paid by consumers.
For example, the most heavily weighted item in the CPI, owners' equivalent rent, is
excluded from the PPI. The scope of the CPI includes imports. The PPI excludes imports.
The CPI only includes components of personal consumption directly paid for by the
consumers, while the PPI includes components of personal consumption that may not be paid
for by consumers. For example, the PPI includes medical services paid for by third
parties. In contrast to CPI, PPI does not completely cover services. PPIs exclude taxes,
since they do not represent producer revenue. Conversely, sales and other taxes paid by
consumers are part of household expenditure and are included in the CPI. Additional
technical differences between PPI and CPI also exist. For more information see "Comparing
new final demand producer price indexes with other Government price indexes," Monthly
Labor Review, January 2014, at https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/.

Commodity Indexes

The commodity classification of the PPI organizes goods, services, and construction by
similarity of product or end use, disregarding industry of origin. With the release of
data for July 2009, PPI expanded its commodity structure to include indexes for services
and construction products. Prior to this date, the PPI commodity structure only included
products from goods producing sectors. Table 9 of the PPI Detailed Report includes data
for commodity indexes, organized in a hierarchal structure, including major groupings,
subgroups, product classes, sub-product classes, and individual items.

Industry Net-Output Price Indexes

PPIs for the net output of industries and their products are grouped according to the
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Prior to the release of January
2004, industry-based PPIs were published according to the Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) system. Industry price indexes are compatible with other economic
time series organized by industry, such as data on employment, wages, and productivity.
Table 11 of the PPI Detailed Report includes data for NAICS industries and industry
groups (3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-digit codes), Census product classes (7- and 8-digit codes),
products (9-digit codes), more detailed sub-products (11-digit codes), and, for some
industries, indexes for other sources of revenue.

Indexes may represent one of three kinds of product categories. Every industry has
primary product indexes that show changes in prices received by establishments classified
in the industry for products made primarily, but not necessarily exclusively, by that
industry. The industry classification of an establishment is determined by which products
make up a plurality of its total shipment value. In addition, most industries have
secondary product indexes that show changes in prices received by establishments for
products chiefly made in some other industry. Some industries have miscellaneous receipts
indexes that track price changes for other sources of revenue received by establishments
within the industry that are not derived from sales of their products; for example,
resales of purchased materials, or revenues from parking lots owned by a manufacturing
plant.

Data Collection

PPIs are constructed using 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 also are 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 submitted
by survey respondents are effective on the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th day
of the month. The survey is conducted online via the BLS Internet Data Collection
Facility (IDCF).

Price data are provided on a voluntary and confidential basis; only sworn BLS
employees are allowed access to individual company price reports. BLS publishes price
indexes instead of actual prices. All PPIs are subject to revision 4 months after
original publication to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by
respondents.

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.
Information on these resampling efforts are noted in the PPI News Release and PPI
Detailed Report in the months they occur.

As part of an ongoing effort to expand coverage to sectors of the economy other than
mining and manufacturing, an increasing number of service and construction sector
industries have been introduced into the PPI. The following list of industries
introduced since the mid-1990s includes the month and year in which an article describing
the industry's content appeared in the PPI Detailed Report.

Weights

Weights for most commodity groupings of the PPI, as well as, weights for
commodity-based aggregate indexes calculated from commodity groupings, such as FD-ID
indexes, currently reflect 2012 values of shipments as reported in the Census of
Manufactures and other sources. From January 2012 to December 2017, PPI weights were
derived from 2007 shipment values. Industry indexes now are calculated under the 2017
NAICS structure utilizing 2012 value of shipment weights and 2007 net output ratios.
The 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 within the industry to buyers
outside the industry. However, weights for commodity indexes are based on gross shipment
values, including values of shipments between establishments within the same industry. As
a result, broad commodity grouping indexes, such as the PPI for All Commodities (which is
composed of major commodity groupings 01 through 15), are affected by the multiple
counting of price change at successive stages of processing, which can lead to
exaggerated or misleading signals about inflation. The intermediate demand by commodity
type FD-ID indexes partially correct for this defect, but industry indexes, final demand
FD-ID indexes, and intermediate demand by production flow FD-ID indexes consistently
correct for this at all levels of aggregation. Therefore, industry and FD-ID indexes are
more appropriate than broad commodity groupings for analysis of general price trends.

Price Index Reference Base

Effective with publication of January 1988 data, many important PPI series (including
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 previously published percent changes for affected PPI series. (See "Calculating Index
Changes," below.) The 1982 reference base is not used for commodity indexes with a base
later than December 1981 or for industry net output indexes and their products. The FD-
ID indexes typically have a reference base of November 2009 = 100.

For further information on the underlying concepts and methodology of the Producer
Price Index, see chapter 14, "Producer Prices," in the BLS Handbook of Methods. This
chapter can be downloaded from the BLS Web site at https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch14.htm.

Calculating Index Changes

Each PPI measures price changes from a reference period that equals 100.0. An
increase of 5.5 percent from the reference period in the Final Demand Goods Price Index,
for example, is shown as 105.5. This change also can be expressed in dollars, as
follows: prices received by domestic producers of a sample of final demand goods have
risen from $100 in November 2009 to $105.50. Likewise, a current index of 90.0 would
indicate that prices received by producers of final demand goods are 10 percent lower
than they were in November 2009.

Movements of price indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent
changes, rather than as changes in index points. Index point changes are affected by the
level of the index in relation to its base period, whereas percent changes are not. The
following example shows the computation of index point and percent changes.

Index point change
Final Demand 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, BLS publishes
seasonally adjusted and unadjusted changes each month. Seasonally adjusted data are
preferred for analyzing general price trends in the economy because these data 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
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 when escalating long-term contracts such as purchasing agreements or real
estate leases. For more information, see Price Adjustment Guide for Contracting Parties,
on the Web at https://www.bls.gov/ppi/ppiescalation.htm.

Seasonal adjustment is accomplished using X-13 ARIMA, a software package published by
the U.S. Census Bureau. Each year, the seasonal status of most commodity indexes is
reevaluated to reflect more recent price behavior. Industry net output indexes are not
seasonally adjusted. For time series that exhibit seasonal pricing patterns, new
seasonal factors are estimated and applied to the unadjusted data from the prior 5 years.
Updated seasonally adjusted indexes replace the most recent 5 years of seasonal data.

Seasonal factors may be applied to series using either a direct or an aggregative
method. Generally, commodity indexes are seasonally adjusted using direct seasonal
adjustment, which produces a more complete elimination of seasonal movements than does
the aggregative method. However, the direct seasonal adjustment process may not yield
figures that possess additive consistency. Thus, a seasonally adjusted index for a broad
category that is directly adjusted may not be logically consistent with all seasonally
adjusted indexes for its components. Seasonal movements for FD-ID indexes are derived
indirectly through an aggregative method that combines movements of a wide variety of
subproduct class (six-digit) series.

Seasonally adjusted indexes can become problematic when previously stable and
predictable price patterns abruptly change. If the new pattern persists, the seasonal
adjustment method will eventually reflect it; if the pattern keeps shifting, however,
seasonally adjusted data will become chronically troublesome. This problem occurs
relatively infrequently for farm and food-related products, but has more often affected
manufactured products such as automobiles and steel.

Since January 1988, the PPI has used Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment methods
to enhance the calculation of seasonal factors. With this technique, outlier values that
may distort the seasonal pattern are removed from the data prior to applying the standard
seasonal factor estimation procedure. For example, a possible economic cause for large
price movements for petroleum-based products might have been the Persian Gulf War. In
this case, intervention techniques allowed for better estimates of seasonally adjusted
data. On the whole, very few series have required intervention. Out of almost 400
seasonally adjusted series, only 42 were subject to intervention in 2018.

For more information relating to seasonal adjustment methods, see "Summary of Changes
to the PPI's Seasonal Adjustment Methodology" in the January 1995 issue of Producer Price
Indexes, and "PPI and CPI Seasonal Adjustment: an Update" in the July 2010 Monthly Labor
Review.

Producer Price Index Data on the Internet

In 1995, the BLS began posting PPI series, news releases, and technical information to
both a World Wide Web (WWW) site and a file transfer protocol (FTP) site. During the
years following the introduction of PPI Internet services, use of these sites eclipsed
more traditional methods of data dissemination, such as subscriptions to the PPI Detailed
Report. There were more than 4 million instances of PPI data and tables being downloaded
from the BLS website during the 12 months ended December 31, 2017.

Retrieving PPI data from the PPI Web site

PPI data can be obtained from the WWW address (www.bls.gov/ppi). On this page, under
the tab labeled "Featured PPI databases" links provide the following methods of data
retrieval:

Top Picks is a form-based application for both Industry Data and Commodity Data that
allows the user to quickly obtain PPI time series data by selecting the high-level
aggregate and other commonly requested time series, including the All Commodities Index
and the FD-ID indexes (for example, Final Demand). Within each list, any one-or all-of
the time series shown can be selected. A user can modify the date range and output
options after executing the query, using the reformat button above the data output table.

One-Screen Data Search and Multi-Screen Data Search are form-based query applications
for both Industry Data and Commodity Data designed for users unfamiliar with the PPI
coding structure. These applications guide a user through the PPI classification by
listing index titles and do not require knowledge of commodity or industry codes. Data
retrieved are based on a query formulated by selecting data characteristics from lists
provided. Two options are available to create customized tables, depending on a user's
browser capability. The one-screen option is a JavaScript application that uses a single
screen to guide a user through the available time series data. The second option is a
multiple-screen, non-Java-based application. Both methods allow a user to browse the PPI
coding structure and select multiple series. Users can modify the date range and output
options after executing the query using the reformat button above the data output table.

Series Report is a form-based application that allows users to input multiple,
formatted PPI time series identifiers (commodity or industry codes) as inputs in
extracting data according to a specified set of date ranges and output options. This
application provides the most efficient path for users who are familiar with the format
of PPI time series identifiers. There are five alphabetic prefixes used to create unique
PPI time series identifiers: WP, WD, PC, PD, and ND. Each provides the user access to a
different PPI database. Adding either a "u" (not seasonally adjusted) or an "s"
(seasonally adjusted) to the end of these prefixes further specifies the type of data
needed. Examples are provided below.

For commodity and FD-ID indexes, series identifiers combine a "wpu" prefix (not
seasonally adjusted) or a "wps" prefix (seasonally adjusted) with a commodity code.

Commodity code Provides data for:
wps141101 Passenger cars, seasonally adjusted
wpu141101 Passenger cars, not seasonally adjusted
wpufd4 Final demand, not seasonally adjusted
wpsid63 Services for intermediate demand, seasonally adjusted

For discontinued commodity indexes, series identifiers combine a "wdu" prefix (not
seasonally adjusted) or a "wds" prefix (seasonally adjusted) with a commodity code.

Commodity code Provides data for:
wds019 Other farm products, seasonally adjusted
wdu0635 Preparations, ethical (prescription), not seasonally adjusted
wdusi138011 Stainless steel mill products, not seasonally adjusted

Current price indexes grouped by industry according to NAICS have series identifiers
that begin with the prefix "pcu." After the prefix, there are 12 digits (the 6-digit
industry code is listed twice) followed by up to 7 alphanumeric characters identifying
product detail. Dashes are used as placeholders for higher-level industry group codes.

Industry-product code,
current NAICS series Provides data for:
pcu325---325--- Chemical manufacturing
pcu336110336110 Automobile and light duty motor vehicle manufacturing
pcu621111621111411 Offices of physicians, one- and two-physician practices and
single-specialty group practices, general/family practice

Discontinued industry-product codes based on SIC combine a "pdu" prefix and "#"
between the fourth and fifth characters of the product code. Series identifiers for the
discontinued dataset use underscores as placeholders to complete a reference to an SIC
industry group code of fewer than four digits. (All PPI industry-based indexes organized
by SIC were discontinued with the introduction of NAICS in 2004.)

Industry-product code,
discontinued SIC series Provides data for:
pdu28_ _# Chemicals and allied products
pdu331_# Blast furnaces, steel works, and rolling and finishing mills
pdu3711#111 Passenger cars

Price indexes for discontinued series grouped by industry according to NAICS have
identifiers that begin with the prefix "ndu." After the prefix, there are 12 numeric
digits (the 6-digit industry code is listed twice), and up to 7 additional alphanumeric
characters that identify product detail. Dashes are used as placeholders for higher-
level group codes.

Industry-product code,
discontinued NAICS series Provides data for
ndu212231212231 Lead and zinc ore mining
ndu2122312122312 Lead, zinc concentrates
ndu212231212231214 Lead concentrates

Footnotes (1) Further information about the Final Demand-Intermediate Demand Aggregation system is available online at https://www.bls.gov/ppi/fdidaggregation.htm. (2) Comprehensive relative importance figures are initially computed after the publication of December indexes and are recalculated after final December indexes are available. Individual items and subtotals may not add exactly to totals because of rounding differences. (3) The indexes for August 2019 have been recalculated to incorporate late reports and corrections by respondents. All indexes are subject to revision 4 months after original publication. (4) PPI defines Total finished as including only the personal consumption and private capital investment portions of final demand. (5) Trade indexes measure changes in margins received by wholesalers and retailers. (6) The PPI definition of foods does not include food and beverages for immediate consumption. PPI defines food and beverages for immediate consumption as the service of preparing meals, snacks, and beverages to customer order for immediate on-premises and off-premises consumption. (7) Distributive services include transportation, warehousing, and trade of goods.

Footnotes (1) Further information about the Final Demand-Intermediate Demand Aggregation system is available online at https://www.bls.gov/ppi/fdidaggregation.htm (2) Comprehensive relative importance figures are initially computed after the publication of December indexes and are recalculated after final December indexes are available. Individual items and subtotals may not add exactly to totals because of rounding differences. (3) The indexes for August 2019 have been recalculated to incorporate late reports and corrections by respondents. All indexes are subject to revision 4 months after original publication.
