Consumer Expenditure Survey Summary Tables

The Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) program consists of two surveys: the quarterly Interview survey and the annual Diary survey. Combined, these two surveys provide information on the buying habits of American consumers, including data on their expenditures, income, and consumer unit (families and single consumers) characteristics. The survey data are collected for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) by the U.S. Census Bureau. The CE collects all on all spending components including food, housing, apparel and services, transportation, entertainment, and out-of-pocket health care costs. The CE features several arts-related spending categories, including the following items: Spending on Admissions Plays, theater, opera, and concerts; Movies, parks, and museums; Spending on Reading Newspapers and magazines; Books; Digital book readers; Spending on Other Arts-Related Items Musical instruments; Photographic equipment; Audio-visual equipment; Toys, games, arts and crafts; The CE is important because it is the only Federal survey to provide information on the complete range of consumers' expenditures and incomes, as well as the characteristics of those consumers. It is used by economic policymakers examining the impact of policy changes on economic groups, by the Census Bureau as the source of thresholds for the Supplemental Poverty Measure, by businesses and academic researchers studying consumers' spending habits and trends, by other Federal agencies, and, perhaps most importantly, to regularly revise the Consumer Price Index market basket of goods and services and their relative importance. The most recent data tables are for 2018, and were made available on September 10, 2019. The unpublished integrated CE data tables produced by the BLS are available to download through NADAC (click on "Excel" in the Dataset(s) section). Also, see Featured CE Tables and Economic News Releases sections on the CE home page for current data tables and news release. The 2018 public-use microdata is the most recent and was released on September 10, 2019.消费者支出调查（Consumer Expenditure Survey）项目包含两项子调查：季度访谈调查与年度日记调查。两项调查协同开展，可提供美国消费者的消费习惯相关信息，涵盖其支出、收入及消费者单元（家庭与个体消费者）的特征数据。该调查数据由美国人口普查局（U.S. Census Bureau）为美国劳工统计局（U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics）采集。CE涵盖全品类消费支出，包括食品、住房、服装及服务、交通、娱乐与自付医疗费用。该项目设有多项与艺术相关的消费支出类别，具体包括以下品类：入场费支出：戏剧、话剧、歌剧与音乐会门票，电影、公园与博物馆门票；阅读相关支出：报纸与杂志、书籍、电子阅读器；其他艺术相关支出：乐器、摄影器材、视听设备、玩具、游戏与工艺美术用品。CE的重要性在于，它是唯一一项可全面覆盖消费者全品类支出与收入信息，以及消费者自身特征的联邦调查。经济政策制定者可借助该调查评估政策变动对不同经济群体的影响；美国人口普查局将其作为补充贫困衡量标准阈值的数据源；企业与学术研究者可依托其开展消费者消费习惯与趋势研究；其他联邦机构亦可使用该数据；而最为重要的是，该调查可用于定期修订消费者价格指数的商品与服务市场篮子及其相对权重。最新的公开数据表基于2018年数据，于2019年9月10日发布。美国劳工统计局编制的未公开整合式CE数据表可通过NADAC下载（请在数据集板块点击"Excel"选项）。此外，可前往CE官网的「特色CE数据表」与「经济新闻发布」板块获取最新数据表与新闻稿。最新的公开使用微观数据为2018年版，于2019年9月10日发布。
