Elasticity Beer Wine Spirits

Price Elasticity E_XP= -.23 E_YP= -.40 E_ZP= -.25

Income Elasticity E_XI= -.09 E_YI= 5.03 E_ZI= 1.21

Cross Elasticity E_XY= .31 E_YX= .16 E_ZX= .07

Cross Elasticity E_XZ= .15 E_YZ= .10 E_ZY= .09

Explanation:

1. Reading down the Beer column, these are elasticities based on an estimation of the demand for Beer with price of beer, income, price of wine, price of spirits as explanatory variables.
2. Reading down the Wine column, these are elasticities based on an estimation of the demand for Wine with price of wine, income, price of beer, price of spirits as explanatory variables.
3. Reading down the Spirits column, these are elasticities based on an estimation of the demand for Spirits with price of spirits, income, price of beer, price of wine as explanatory variables.
