Question:
The market demand for potatoes is estimated as follows
Log Q = 1.5 - .33log P + 0.3log I + 200log P'
Q = pounds per year, P = price of potatoes in cents per pound, I = Average income of consumers, and P' = price of rice per pound. All the parameters are statistically significant at the 1 percent level.
Provide a complete interpretation of the estimation results. (Hint: Use the equation to provide as much information as possible about the demand for potatoes).
