National Debt The size of the total debt owed by the UnitedStates federal government continues to grow. In fact,according to the Department of the Treasury, the debt perperson living in the United States is approximately $53,000(or over $140,000 per U.S. household). The following datarepresent the U.S. debt for the years 2001–2014. Since thedebt D depends on the year y, and each input correspondsto exactly one output, the debt is a function of the year. SoD1y2 represents the debt for each year y.

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?
