You are given the following regression results estimating thedemand for widgets based on time series data for the past 40months.Qt = 2.5
Consider the following estimated demand function for chicken for a household in Fullerton, California over a period of 25 months.
Qt = 56.09 - 0.19Pt + 0.03Ptp
SE = (29.18) (-0.07) (0.019)
R2 = 0.81 and R2adj = 0.805
Number of observations = 25
Here, Qt is the quantity demanded for chicken (in pounds), Pt is the price of beef (in $), Ptp is the price of pork (in $).
Interpret the values of R-square and R-square adjusted.
Calculate t statistics for all the estimated coefficients of this regression model.
Determine whether the estimated coefficients are statistically significant at the 1%, 5%, or 10% level of significance.
(b) Alternatively, suppose you estimate a double-log-demand function for widgets as follows:
Qd =1.2789-0.1647Pw (0.077) +0.5115i (0.415) +0.1483P-0.0089T (0.0026)-0.0961D(0.026);
where the standard errors are in parenthesis, Qd is for the quantity of widgets demanded, Pw is for the price of widgets, i is for disposable income, P is for the price of gadgets, T is for sales tax on widgets, and D is for household debt.
Assuming that there are 30 observations and that the R2 is 0.80, critically evaluate the regression model and results from a managerial point of view.
