Your formulas to calculate elasticities seem to be wrong (you should
substract 1 when calculating own price elasticities) Check the
following reference for the correct expressions.

http://agecon2.tamu.edu/people/faculty/capps-oral/agec%20635/Readings/Elasticities%20in%20AIDS%20Models.pdf


Also, it would be easy to estimate the full AIDS with the nlsur
command instead of the LA-AIDS

If you use R, you could also use Arne Henningsen's micEcon package
