Critically discuss the below statement.

(a) In taking logarithms of output and consumption, a Federal Reserve economist Anne wrote: "For several reasons, taking logarithms of macroeconomic aggregates is a good idea. First, it makes the distributions much closer to the normal distribution, and hence t and Fstatistics are better applicable. Second, a loglog regression allows interpreting the regression coefficient as an elasticity, which is a very useful and intuitive concept in economics and allied disciplines. Even a regression where the dependent variable is in logarithms but the regressor is not provides interpretation in terms of growth rates. Third, and finally, first difference in logarithms is very close to growth rates, and this offers nice interpretation as well."
