Q. Table provided gives data on gross domestic product (GDP) for the United States for the years 1959–2005.
a. Plot the GDP data in current and constant (i.e., 2000) dollars against time.
b. Letting Y denote GDP and X time (measured chronologically starting with 1 for 1959, 2 for 1960, through 47 for 2005), see if the following model fits the GDP data:
Yt = β1 + β2 Xt + ut
Estimate this model for both current and constant-dollar GDP.
c. How would you interpret β2?
d. If there is a difference between β2 estimated for current-dollar GDP and that estimated for constant-dollar GDP, what explains the difference?
e. From your results what can you say about the nature of inflation in the United States over the sample period?

A major objective of the RRA was to promote electronic filing of tax returns. The data in the table that follows show the percentage of individual income tax returns filed electronically for filing years 2000–2008. Since the percentage P of returns filed electronically depends on the filing year y and each input corresponds to exactly one output, the percentage of returns filed electronically is a function of the filing year;so P(y) represents the percentage of returns filed electronically for filing year y. (a) Find the average rate of change of the percentage of e-filed returns from 2000 to 2002. (b) Find the average rate of change of the percentage of e-filed returns from 2004 to 2006.
