Hi all,
I am in urgent need to find the solution of a problem. It would be great if you guys could help


background of the problem:
I have dependent variable- number of children and independent variable- log of household income. I need to find out the income elasticity of number of children with cross sectional data.
Problem:
1. Can we take log of "number of children' to estimate the income elasticity.
2. If i regress lin-log regression model, Can I use the predicted values of slope to derive income elasticity by dividing it with avverage number o children?


I request everyone to please help?
