1i) Demand function for air travel between the U.S. and Europe has been estimated to be: ln Q = 2.737 - 1.247 ln P +1.905 ln I where Q denotes number of passengers (in thousands) per year‚ P the (average) ticket price and I the U.S. national income. Determine the price elasticity and income elasticity of demand (8 points). From Lecture Module 3 Equation 4 we learned the alternative formulation of elasticity. Alternative formulation of elasticity EP = dQ/dP * P/Q = dlnQ/dlnP Natural log:
