Explanation of Solution

The economy has many firms in it, which means that there will be different organizations that produce different types of goods and services that are necessary in the economy. The different sections of the society will have demand for a variety of goods, which is the reason behind the large number of producers and products in the economy. Not all the firms produce the final goods and services that can be consumed directly by the consumer. Some would be the raw materials and some would be the intermediate goods.

There are goods that are actually the output of an organization but still they will be treated as the input of other organization. This includes the organization that produces the spark plugs and electric components. The spark plugs and the electric components are the final output of the firm, whereas the automobile industry, the electronic appliances industry, and so on,  makes use of the spark plugs and the electric components for producing their output.

CEO Salary and Firm SalesWe can estimate a constant elasticity model relating CEO salary to firm sales. The data set is the same one used in Example 2.3, except we now relate salary to sales. Let sales be annual firm sales, measured in millions of dollars. A constant elasticity model is[2.45]ßßlog (salary) = ß0 + ß0log (sales) + u,where ß1 is the elasticity of salary with respect to sales. This model falls under the simple regression model by defining the dependent variable to be y = log(salary) and the independent variable to be x = log1sales2. Estimating this equation by OLS gives[2.46]log (salary)^=4.822 + 0.257 (sales)             n = 209, R2 = 0.211.The coefficient of log(sales) is the estimated elasticity of salary with respect to sales. It implies that a 1% increase in firm sales increases CEO salary by about 0.257%—the usual interpretation of an elasticity.
