Now suppose you are told that the true demand function is l n Y t = 1 + 2 l n x 2 t +

Now suppose you are told that the true demand function is
lnYt=1+2lnx2t+3lnx3t+6lnx6t+ut
but you think differently and estimate the following demand function:
lnYt=1+2lnx2t+3lnx3t+ut
a) Carry out RESET and LM tests of specification errors, assuming the demand function (1)(Equation 1)
just given is the truth.
b) Suppose widehat(6) in Eq.(1) turns out to be statistically insignificant. Does that mean there is no specification
error if we fit Eq.(2) to the data?
c) If widehat(6) turns out to be insignificant, does that mean one should not introduce the price of a substitute
product(s) as an argument in the demand function?
