[Steps Shown] Consider the following equation relates housing price (P) to the distance from a recently built garbage incinerator (D) : log (\tildeP)=9.40+0.3120log

Question: Consider the following equation relates housing price \((P)\) to the distance from a recently built garbage incinerator \((D)\) :

\[\log (\tilde{P})=9.40+0.3120\log (D)\]

where we have 135 data points and the coefficient of determination is 0.162.

  1. Interpret the coefficient on \(\log (D)\). Is the sign of this estimate what you expect it to be? Why or why not?
  2. Do you think simple regression provides an unbiased estimator of the ceteris paribus elasticity of price with respect to distance? (Note: Think about the city's decision on where to put the incinerator.)
  3. What other factors about a house effect its price? Might these be

correlated with distance from the incinerator?
