I have build a time series regression with the formula: $$\Delta\log A = \alpha+\beta\Delta\log B $$ I have found $\beta= -0.05$. I can't seem to figure out how to interpret this number. I know that in a log-log regression the coefficient denotes a procentual effect. But I can't figure out how to inpret it for a $\Delta\log-\Delta\log$ regression. Could someone help me out?

The value $\beta= -0.05$ represents the slope for the linear regression in the plane $\Delta\log-\Delta\log$ and $\alpha$ is the $y$ value assumed for $B=1$.
For the exponential representation we have
$$\Delta\log A = \alpha+\beta\Delta\log B \iff e^\frac A{A_0}=e^{\alpha}e^{\left(\frac B{B_0}\right)^{\beta}}$$

Yeah sure, but is there an interpretation like in the log-log plane? – Cardinal Nov 12 '18 at 15:48

@Cardinal Ah ok your doubt is about the not linear representation? – user Nov 12 '18 at 15:49
