Summary: |
The ongoing Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) provides a
continuous flow of information on the buying habits of American
consumers and also furnishes data to support periodic revisions of the
Consumer Price Index. The survey consists of two separate components:
(1) a quarterly Interview Survey in which each consumer unit in the
sample is interviewed every three months over a 15-month period, and
(2) a Diary Survey completed by the sample consumer units for two
consecutive one-week periods. The Interview Survey was designed to
collect data on major items of expense, household characteristics, and
income. The expenditures covered by the survey are those that
respondents can recall fairly accurately for three months or
longer. In general, these expenditures include relatively large
purchases, such as those for property, or expenditures that occur on a
fairly regular basis, such as rent, utilities, or insurance
premiums. Excluded are nonprescription drugs, household supplies, and
personal care items. Including global estimates on spending for food,
it is estimated that about 90 to 95 percent of expenditures are
covered in the Interview Survey. The Detailed Expenditure Files were
created from all the major expenditure sections of the Interview
Survey questionnaires and contain the most detailed expenditure data
from the Interview Survey. Parts 69-72 contain processing files used
by the program in Part 73. Part 73, Documentation File, includes a
sample program and lists of the data file variables by start
position. Parts 75 and 76 are SAS programs that generate means,
variances, standard errors, and coefficients of variation.
