When using OLS on $\ln(y) = \beta_1 \ln(x) + \epsilon$, is $\beta_1$ the elasticity of $E[y\vert x]$, or the $y$ in the data (or both)?
Specifically, suppose we are estimating
$$
\ln(y)=\beta_1\ln(x) + \epsilon
$$
I understand that $\beta_1 = \frac{\partial \ln(y)}{\partial \ln(x)}$ which is the elasticity of $y$ with respect to $x$
