The demand for haddock has been estimated as log Q = a + b log P +

Question:

The demand for haddock has been estimated as

log Q = a + b log P + c log I + d log Pm


Where Q = quantity of haddock sold in New England

P = price per pound of haddock

I = a measure of personal income in the New England region

Pm = an index of the price of meat and poultry

If b = −2.174, c = 0.461, and d = 1.909,

a. Determine the price elasticity of demand.

b. Determine the income elasticity of demand.

c. Determine the cross price elasticity of demand.

d. How would you characterize the demand for haddock?
