The data are contained in teh file mg-data.zip, which contains five ASCII files in DOS format. g.dat contains the date and quarterly real GDP growth rates. Real growth rates are expressed in percent and are constructed from U.S. seasonally adjusted GDP and the GDP price index. Data range from 1947:2 -- 2003:3 (226 observations). The next 4 files contain data for the Phillips curve example. Quarterly inflation (infl) is the percent log-difference in the GDP price index. Each file has the date, dependent variable (future inflation), inflation at time t-1, real GDP growth at time t-1, and unemployment at time t-1. The following lists the data file and each column. phillips3m.dat (1948:2 -- 2003:3) 222 observations date t, infl at t, infl at t-1, gdp growth at t-1, unemployment at t-1 phillips6m.dat (1948:2 -- 2003:2) 221 observations date t, infl at t+1, infl at t-1, gdp growth at t-1, unemployment at t-1 phillips9m.dat (1948:2 -- 2003:1) 220 observations date t, infl at t+2, infl at t-1, gdp growth at t-1, unemployment at t-1 phillips12m.dat (1948:2 -- 2002:4) 219 observations date t, infl at t+3, infl at t-1, gdp growth at t-1, unemployment at t-1 All data were obtained from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis FRED database.
