3. Look for the official website of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) as it is the most reliable source. It should have "bea.gov" in the URL.
4. Click on the first search result that corresponds to the BEA website.
5. Once you are on the BEA website, search for the section or tab that contains the NIPA (National Income and Product Accounts) data.
6. Locate and select "Table 1.1.4" from the available options. This table typically contains the price index for GDP data.
7. Scroll down the table until you find the year 1983. It might be arranged in columns or rows, depending on the format of the table.
8. Identify the price index value specified for 1983. This index is typically expressed in percentage terms.
9. The price index value for 1983 represents the GDP deflator for that year. It measures the average price level of all final goods and services produced within an economy relative to a specific base year.
Note: The exact steps may vary slightly depending on any updates or changes to the BEA website. However, the general approach of locating the NIPA data and finding the relevant table and year remains the same.
