Question:

Explain the benefits of using natural logarithms of variables, either of Y or of the X's, as opposed to other possible nonlinear functions, when scatter plots (or possibly economic considerations) indicate that nonlinearities should be taken into account. Explain exactly how you interpret regression coefficients if logs are taken only of Y, only of the X's, or of both Y and the X's?
