Interpreting parameters in the log-log model
Problem
In the model
\[\log{y_i} = β_1+β_2\log{x_{i,2}}+β_3 \log{x_{i,3}}+ε_i\]
\(b_3=2\) . Select the best option:
- E(y|x) increases by approximately 2 units when x3 increases by 1 unit
- E(y|x) increases by approximately 2% when x3 increases by 1 unit
- E(y|x) increases by approximately 2 units when x3 increases by 1%
- E(y|x) increases by approximately 2% when x3 increases by 1%
Solution
Answer: d
