1 Technical data sheet

Concept Description

Statistical operation

Consumer Price Index (CPI)

Name of the study

Linkage of Costa Rican consumer price indices to the June 2015 base

Purpose of the study

To provide information on the price variations of groups of goods and services. The note explains the process applied for the CPI series linkage to the June 2015 base.

Background In Costa Rica, the first CPI was calculated in 1936 by the National Bank of Costa Rica under the name of Cost of Living Index. In 1952, INEC, formerly called General Management of Statistics and Censuses, took on the preparation of this indicator. To this date, seven different series have been calculated :

1. Cost of Living Index Base 1936 = 100 2. Consumer Price Index for Middle Class and Working Class Citizens of San José

Base 1952 = 100 3. Consumer Price Index for Middle Income and Low Income Citizens in the

Metropolitan Area Base 1964 = 100 4. Consumer Price Index for Middle Income and Low Income Citizens in the

Metropolitan Area Base 1975 = 100 5. Consumer Price Index Base January 1995 = 100 6. Consumer Price Index Base July 2006 = 100 7. Consumer Price Index Base June 2015 = 100

Base changes in the price indices

Starting a new price index series entails a break in the continuity of the series due to the methodological changes between one base and another, for example: changes in the articles of the basket and their weights, the geographical coverage, the classification used, sample sizes, treatment of prices, among others. Neverthless, it is necessary to have continuous series, at least for the general index, that allow the user to conduct studies on the behavior of prices in long periods.

How is the

linkage to the

June 2015 base

made?

The linkage consists in calculating a linking coefficient that transforms the July 2006 base series and the previous bases to the June 2015 base terms. Linked indices preserve price variations observed prior to and after the transformation. Indices are linked by applying the following formula:

Concept Description

List of linked series

25 index series were linked to the June 2015 base: 1. Food and non-alcoholic beverages 2. Alcoholic beverages and tobacco 3. Clothing and footwear 4. Housing unit rental and services 5. Furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance 6. Health 7. Transport 8. Communication 9. Recreation and culture 10. Education 11. Meals outside the household and accommodation services 12. Miscellaneous goods and services 13. Services 14. Goods 15. Regulated goods and services1 16. Unregulated goods and services2 17. All items non-food non-energy 18. Energy 19. Services less housing 20. Housing 21. Actual rentals for housing 22. Maintenance and repairs of the dwellings3 23. Water supply and miscellaneous services relating to the dwelling 24. Electricity, gas and other fuels relating to the dwelling 25. Fuels and lubricants for personal transport equipment

The first 12 series correspond to the consumption groups of the CPI base June 2015. The remaining 13 series are special groupings of items with some characteristics in common.

Stages of the linking process

The linking process is made in three stages: 1. The classification of CPI base June 2015 is used to select the articles for the

January 1995 base and the July 2006 base.

2. The levels of the original price indices and the weights of the articles in each base of the CPI are used to calculate the series of 25 indices by applying the following formula:

1 Regulated goods and services are not calculated for the CPI base January 1995, so they are only available for the CPI base July 2006. 2 Unregulated goods and services are not calculated for the CPI base January 1995, so they are only available for the CPI base July 2006. 3 Items for maintenance and repair of houses are not included in the basket of CPI base January 1995. These items are only available for the CPI base July 2006.

Where:

period.

𝐼𝑖𝑡 = index level of item i during the month in question in relation to the base

period.

iw = weight of item i

jw = weight of series j

3. Once the 25 series of indices are calculated for both bases (CPI base January

1995 and CPI base July 2006), the formula defined to calculate the linking coefficients are applied to obtain the indices linked to the CPI base June 2015.

Aspects to consider of the process applied

The classification of the CPI base June 2015 is used to regroup the elements of the CPI base January 1995 and the CPI base July 2006.

Some linked series of the CPI base January 1995 and CPI base July 2006 correspond to goods and services agrupations calculated from June 2015.

The series of the CPI base January 1995 is calculated with a database with a number of decimal places lower than the one used originally. This results in the series of indices calculated for the linkage present differences in decimal precision with respect to those originally published.
