ABSTRACT
Advertising sales elasticity is often used to compare advertising effects (across years, campaigns, media, regions and brands). Broadbent describes why using ‘elasticity’ in the form of a coefficient in a logarithmic regression, is wrong; and why seeing ‘elasticity as the proportion of sales due to advertising is misleading. He recommends using the advertising coefficient in a linear regression for such comparisons.
