This assignment requires you to obtain data from the FRED Database. Find data for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the US, Germany and Ecuador from 1990 to 2019.

Download the data at an annual frequency (as opposed to monthly or quarterly). You will end up with 30 observations (one per year). Ecuador's data is only available from 1997 to 2017, but that's OK. Open the data into Excel or Google Sheets, or any other spreadsheet.
