Assignment 1 – Demand Estimation

Assignment 1 – Demand Estimation

For Option 1, the regression equation is:

QD = - 5200 - 42P + 20PX + 5.2I + .20A + .25M
(2.002) (17.5) (6.2) (2.5) (0.09) (0.21)
Quantity demanded, QD = -5200 – 42(500) +20(600) + 5.2(5500) + 0.20(10000) + 0.25(5000)

Elasticity for price, P = -42(500/17650) ≈ -1.19
Elasticity for price, PX = 20(600/17650) ≈ 0.68
Elasticity for per capita income, I = 5.2(5500/17650) ≈ 1.62
Elasticity for advertising expenditure, A = 0.20(10000/17650) ≈ 0.11
Elasticity for number of microwave ovens sold, M = 0.25(5000/17650) ≈ 0.07
2.
A price elasticity of -1.19 shows that a 1% increase in the price of the product will lead to a drop of 1.19% Continue reading...
