The demand function for good X is ln Qd = a + b ln P +c ln M +e, where Px x x is the price of good X and M is income. Least squares regression reveals thatâ = 7.42, bˆ = -2.18, and cˆ = 0.34.a. If M = 55,000 and Px = 4.39, compute the own price elasticity of demand based on these estimates. Determine whether demand is elastic or inelastic. b. If M = 55,000 and Px = 4.39, compute the income elasticity of demand based on these estimates. Determine whether X is a normal or inferior good.
