2026-05-25 — Weighting basis pivot — BEA PCE to BLS CEX + NIPA 7.8 augmentation

Version: v1.0.1 → v1.0.2

What changed. Weight source changed from BEA PCE 2000 to BLS CEX 2000 standard tables with NIPA Table 7.8 line 17 employer-paid private group health insurance augmentation ($329.199 billion in 2000, $3,010/CU for working-age archetypes, $0 for Retiree); basket extended to ten archetypes (five demographic + five income quintile); stratum count increased from 18 to 20 (alcohol, tobacco, other_lodging broken out).

Why. PCE is a national-accounts construct that includes OER, Medicare/Medicaid, imputed banking services, and nonprofit consumption — categories that do not represent cash leaving a household; CEX is what households self-report spending out of pocket; CEX 2000 tabulations are vintage-stable while PCE comprehensive revisions would force a vintage-policy stance.
