A finance analyst fits a log-linear model to estimate the growth of a stock portfolio: ln⁡(Y)=β0+β1X+ϵ\ln(Y) = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X + \epsilonln(Y)=β0​+β1​X+ϵ, where YYY is the portfolio value (in thousands) and XXX is time (in years). The estimated slope is β^1=0.08\hat{\beta}_1 = 0.08β^​1​=0.08. By approximately what percentage does the portfolio value increase per year?
