An estimate of the demand function for household furniture produced the following results:
F=0.0036 Y1.35R0.19P(−0.37)F=0.0036 Y1.35R0.19P−0.37
r2=0.996r2=0.996
where
FF = furniture expenditures per household
YY = disposable personal income per household
RR = value of private residential construction per household
PP = ratio of the furniture price index to the consumer price index
The point price elasticity for household furniture is , and the income elasticity is .
According to the estimated model, a 10 percent increase in the value of private residential construction per household the quantity demanded by percent.
