1.Describe the log-linear regression model and how it is used to measure the elasticity of the dependent variable with respect to an explanatory variable.
2.Describe how to measure the growth rate of the dependent variable using the semi-log regression model.
3.Describe the linear trend regression model.
4.Describe the standardized regression model.
Log linear regression model:
Consider the following model,Yi=
Xi
e.The
above model is known as exponential regression model.Where
are regression coefficients,ui is error term,'e' is value of
exponential.e=2.718,Xi is a independent variable.Here the
regression model is linear in variable.S we have to transform the
model to make it a linear form.
lnYi=ln
logxi=ui
where ln is natural log,ie,log to the base e.If the assumption of
classical LRM are fulfilled the parameters above model are
explained by OLS method.
ln
.This model is linear in parameter and
,linear in logarithm of variables and can be explained by OLS
method.Because of this linearity,such models are called log-log or
double log or log linear model.
One attractive feature of this model is the slope coefficient of the elasticity of Y with respect to X.ie,percentage change in Y for a given percentage change in X.
In short,Equation of the model:
Slope:
(Y/X)
Elasticity:
