Adding lagged price effects

Next, you will check if the effects of temporary price changes on sales extend into the next period.

Like before, you shift the PRICE predictor back by using the function lag(). The result is assigned to a new variable Price.lag. The Price.lag variable is added to the log(SALES) ~ PRICE relationship. This simple lag-model can also be estimated by using the function lm().

Create a lagged variable for PRICE named Price.lag.
Estimate a lagged response model explaining log(SALES) by PRICE and Price.lag. Use the function lm() and assign the result again to an object called lag.model.
Obtain the coefficients of the lag.model by using the function coef().
