QUESTION 10
First, use real personal consumption expenditures Make sure you construct the graph in the order presented in this question below.
(PCE) of goods (DGDSRX1) from January 2002-present to plot the real PCE of goods as an index (use LINE 1 only). Second, use real personal consumption
(PCESC96) from January 2002-present to plot the real PCE of services as an index (use LINE 2 only). NOTE: Change the units of both consumption variables
2012 US dollars" to "Index (Scale value to 100 for chosen date)." Using indexes will make both lines directly comparable with base year 2002=100, properly re
growth over time.
Lastly, use the implicit price deflator for personal consumption expenditures (PCE) of goods (DGDSRD3Q086SBEA) and the implicit price deflator for personal
expenditures (PCE) of services (DSERRD3Q086SBEA) to construct the relative price (ratio) of goods versus the price of services (use LINE 3 only for the ratio)
ratio by 100. The base year for each deflator is 2012-100, so the base year for the ratio will be the same. Data for the price deflators starts in 1947, so change
graph to start in Jan 2002 (found above the graph in FRED next to the "Edit Graph" button, or using the slider at the bottom near the time periods).
