Linear Relationship i. Estimate a linear relationship between the dependent variable and all the independent variables. ii. What are the tests that you would use to determine the 'goodness-of-fit' of the estimated demand function? Conduct the tests and explain the results. iii. Discuss the economic implications of the various coefficients. b. Non-linear relationship. (9) i. Estimate a logarithmic form of the demand function. ii. Is the estimated demand function 'good'?
