Partial derivative of function w.r.t. the percent change of the variable
Hi,
It is common to consider taking a derivative of % change in function w.r.t the % change in the variable: ∂(%Δf(x,y))/∂(%Δx) = ∂logf(x,y)/∂log(x)= ∂f(x,y)/∂x*x/f(x,y). But how do you take the partial derivative of the (level of) function w.r.t the % change in the variable? I got to this much: ∂f(x,y)/∂(%Δx) = ∂f(x,y)/∂(d log(x) ). I found the % change in x can be written as the differential of log(x), but I don't know what to do the next. I want to write it in terms of f, ∂f/∂x, x. Thank you very much in advance. |
