The slope in an equation that transforms both x and y using logs is known as the elasticity of y with respect to x. True False
The slope in an equation that transforms both x and y using logs is known as the elasticity of y with respect to x. True False
The elasticity of y with respect to x describes… how small percentage changes in x are associated with small percentage changes in y. how small percentage changes in y are associated with small percentage changes in x. how changes in y effect changes in x. how changes in x effect changes in y.
