Use Table 1 to calculate the simple growths of Canadian GDP in the unit of Nominal US$ and report the growths from 2013-2014, and from 2014-2015. Express your answer in percentage and round to 2 decimal places. Use Table 1 again to calculate the natural log growths of GDP in the unit of PPP constant 2017 international $ and report the growths from 2013-2014, and from 2014-2015. Express your answer in percentage and round to 2 decimal places. Calculate the correlation coefficient between Nominal US$ and PPP international $ (round your answer to 3 decimal places). Regress the GDP denoted in the Nominal US$ (denoted as Yt) on the GDP denoted in the PPP international $ (denoted as Xt). The regression model looks Yₓ=α+βₓ Report the value of β and α (round to 2 decimal places).
