To explain personal consumption (CONS) measured in dollars, data is collected for
INC: personal income in dollars
CRDTLIM: $1 plus the credit limit in dollars available to the individual
APR: average annualized percentage interest rate for borrowing for the individual
ADVT: per person advertising expenditure in dollars by manufacturers in the city where the individual lives
SEX: gender of the individual; 1 if female, 0 if male
A regression analysis was performed with CONS as the dependent variable and ln(CRDTLIM) , ln(APR) , ln(ADVT) , and SEX as the independent variables. The estimated model was
Y^ = 2.28 - 0.29 ln(CRDTLIM) + 5.77 ln(APR) + 2.35 ln(ADVT) + 0.39 SEX
What is the correct interpretation for the estimated coefficient for SEX?
A) Holding everything else fixed, personal consumption for males is estimated to be 0.39% higher than females on the average.
B) Holding everything else fixed, personal consumption for females is estimated to be 0.39% higher than males on the average.
C) Holding everything else fixed, personal consumption for females is estimated to be $0.39 higher than males on the average.
