Inflation – Did You Know? Relative Inflation is a general increase in the relative price level between two time periods The price index chart to the right demonstrates one measure of this increase since 1980 Measures Relationship 2% increase in prices, year to year, is considered stable by the Fed The PCEPI is the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation There are different measures of price levels: Consumer Price Index (CPI) Producer Price Index (PPI) Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCEPI) Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis Reference: “Humphrey-Hawkins Report” (February 17, 2000), FOMC using “chain-type price index for personal consumption expenditures.” http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/hh/2000/February/FullReport.txt Since 1980 prices have been increasing. Compared to 1980, consumers in 2010 were paying 131% more on average, according to the PCEPI. DataPost www.frbsf.org/education/teacher-resources/datapost FRBSF Education & Outreach

Measures of Price Levels Consumer Price Index (CPI) Change in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative basket of goods and services Producer Price Index (PPI) Average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output GDP Price Index Measure of the level of prices of all new, domestically produced, final goods and services in the economy Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCEPI) Measures the prices paid for goods and services purchased by U.S. residents References: For information on CPI, see: http://www.bls.gov/cpi For information on PPI, see: http://www.bls.gov/ppi For information on GDP Price Index, see http://www.bea.gov/glossary/glossary_g.htm For information on PCEPI, see: http://www.bea.gov/national/pdf/nipaguid.pdf (page 17) Fed’s Preferred Measure Sources: Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Economic Analysis Note: See PowerPoint file for references DataPost www.frbsf.org/education/teacher-resources/datapost FRBSF Education & Outreach

Using the PCEPI (Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index) What is the percentage change in prices for all domestic personal consumption? (Current Price – Past Price) x 100 Past Price (112.7 – 97.1) x 100 97.1 = 16.0% This means that consumers were paying, on average, 16.0% more in 2017 for the same items as in 2007.

Annotated Chart Notes Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Inflation 12-month Percent Change, Seasonally Adjusted through December 2017 TOTAL – Includes all expenditures (a.k.a. “Headline Inflation”) TOTAL CORE CORE – excludes food and energy prices, which are typically more volatile Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis & FRBSF Calculations DataPost www.frbsf.org/education/teacher-resources/datapost FRBSF Education & Outreach

What Do You Think? What is the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation in making monetary policy decisions? What was headline inflation in June 2009? Core inflation in October 2013? How would you describe the changes in headline inflation during the 2007-2009 Great Recession? What do you notice about the overall trend in “headline” inflation compared to “core”?
