what is the issue with drawign supply and demand curves
We only iobserve the price and quantity pairs
We don’t observe the supply and demand curves directly
If we estimate the demand curve by OLS, what would be the result?
Regression with ln(P) as the outcome and ln(Q) as the regressor results in a single regression line
Why doesn’t the OLS regression of
ln(Pi) = a_s + B_s + n_si
work
They are simultaneous equations, as P and Q are simulataneously determined by each other
Two parameters that explain the rs between P and Q
What is a structural equation
They show the structure (theory) of the system
