Question: The empirical demand function for good X is estimated in log-linear form as ln Q ^ = 16.56727 - 2.85ln P - 0.05152ln M +

The empirical demand function for good X is estimated in log-linear form as

ln Q^= 16.56727 - 2.85ln P - 0.05152ln M + 0.35ln PY, where Q^is the estimated number of units of good X demanded, P is the price of X, M is income, and PYis the price of related good Y. (All parameter estimates are statistically significantly different from zero at the 5 percent level.)

At P = $22.50, M = 43,499, and PZ= $12.50, the estimates for the income elasticity (EM^) is _____.
