Econometrics I Summer 2011/2012 Course Guarantor: prof. Ing. Zlata Sojková, CSc., Lecturer: Ing. Martina Hanová, PhD. Econometricsdata transformation
Linearity: The true relationship between the mean of the response variable E(Y) and the explanatory variables X1, ... Xn is a straight line. Assumption of Ordinary Least Squares
Cobb–Douglas production function • Y = total production (the monetary value of all goods produced in a year) • L = labor input • K = capital input • A = total factor productivity • α and β – output elasticities Thelog-logtransformation
B1 and B2 - elasticities of labor and capital. These values are constants determined by available technology. • Elasticity - percentage change in Y for a given (small) percentage change in X ELASTICITY
