Two Variable Regression model

 Two Variable Regression model

Two variable regression model shows the relationship between one dependent and one independent variable  

Dependent variable depend on independent variable  

Independent variable predict the dependent variable 

Two variable Regression model shows how dependent variable change due to the change of independent variable.

Two Variable Regression model is also called simple linear regression model.

Mathematically , we can express as:

Y=β1+β2X+ε

Y=Dependent variable

β1=Intercept

β2=Slope

X=Independent variable 

ε=Error term

Econometrics And Steps Of Traditional Econometrics

 
     Econometrics And Steps Of Traditional Econometrics

Econometrics: Econometrics means economic measurement that uses different Statistical and mathematical tools to analyze economic phenomena, economic theory ,economic data or hypothesis.

In other words, econometrics is a branch of economics in which the tools of economic theory, mathematics and statistics are used to analyze economic phenomena.

                    8 steps of Traditional Econometrics:

1.Statement OF Theory: The first step is to give the economic theory of the subject we want to know about.  Assuming that we want to know the effect of income on consumer consumption... we can say that income and consumption are positively related.

2.Mathematical Model: In this step , economic theory is expressed as mathematically. 

                                Y=β1+β2X

mathematical model, shows the relationship between two variables. if this consumption function, Y = consumption , X =income, β1=intercept ,β2=slope coefficient or MRS(marginal rate of substitution).

3.Econometric Model: in  econometric model, error term is included.

Y=β1+β2X+μ

μ=Disturbance or error term.

(Represents all factors that affect  on the model.)

4.Data Collect:

Collect essential and reliable data .This data may be cross sectional data , time series data, pooled data or panel data .

5.Estimation of the Econometric Model: After collecting the data, the parameters have to be estimated.  If we are working on a consumption function then we need to estimate the parameter of the consumption function. Generally , regression analysis is used to estimate parameters.

6.Hypothesis Testing: After estimating the parameters, hypothesis testing should be done to see how much the parameter supports the economic theory and how much the estimated parameters are sufficient for the model.

7.Prediction:

Y=β1+β2X+μ

Y=predicted variable

X=predictor

If our considered model does not explain the hypothesis or theory then the predictor X has to predict the dependent variable or the predicted variable Y.

8.Policy implications: The estimated model may  be used for policy purposes. The government can manipulate the control variable with the help of monetary and fiscal policy to get predicted variables.

Variable Cost |Average Variable cost

 

Variable Cost And Average Variable cost

Variable costs are costs that depend on the company's production and sales.

That is, if the production and sales of a company decrease or increase, variable costs will also change as production and sales decrease and increase.

For Example

Raw Materials :If a company's sales increase, that company's production also increases.     Then production will require more raw materials than before and production costs will increase.

Utilities: Production requires gas and electricity.  As production increases, the demand for this fuel will increase.

 Labor: Labor related to production.  If production increases, the demand for labor will increase.  If production decreases, the demand for labor will decrease and labor has to pay wages. So, the cost of labor is variable cost.

Average Variable Cost

Average Variable Cost=Variable Cost/Output 

Average variable cost is the variable cost divided by the output of a production.

Asymmetric information

Asymmetric information refers to when two parties to a transaction do not have equal information. 

 Of the two parties, either party will have more information.  As a result, he will benefit more than the other party. Generally, when selling a product, the seller has more information than the buyer. 

As a result, the seller is more profitable than the buyer. Inversely, if the buyers have more information than sellers, buyers will be more profitable than sellers for asymmetric information

Qd=400-8P, Price increases from 10 to 15, Calculate price elasticity of demand.

Qd=400-8P ,Price increases from 10 to 15

Calculate price elasticity of demand.

Qd=400-8P

P1=10, Q1=400-8×10

                  =400-80

                   =320

P2=15, Q2=400-8×15

                  =400-120

                  =280

P1=10, Q1=320

P2=15, Q2=280

∈=∆Qd/Q/∆P/P

 = (∆Qd/Q)×(P/∆P)

  =(Q2−Q1)/Q×[P/(P2−P1)]

= (280−320)/320×[10/(15−10)]

=−40/320×10/5

=-0.125×2

= -0.25 

The elasticity of normal goods are always negative

The elasticity of demand 0.25

0.25<1 ; inelastic 

Market disequilibrium | Excess Supply | excess demand

Market disequilibrium | Excess Supply | Excess demand

Market is not in equilibrium, because there is either excess supply and excess demand in the market.

In the above curve shows the market Disequilibrium situation when excess supply exists in the market because of price increase.E is the equilibrium situation where quantity supply and demand are Equal.Equlibrium price Pe and equilibrium quantity Qe.When price increase from  Pe to P1 , quantity supplied also increases from Qe to Qs . Because, price and quantity supply are positively related.When price increase in the market,producer want to earn more profit by selling their products.In this time, create excess supply in the market.This is the surplus in the market.

In the above figure shows that excess demand in the market.This is the shortage in the market.We know that price and quantity demanded are negatively related.When price decrease quantity demanded also increases.In the above figure,when price decrease from Qe to Q1 , quantity demanded also increases from Qe to Qd.At this time create excess demand in the market.Because when price will decrease, consumer wants to purchase more products.

Reasons For Shifting In The Supply Curve

               Reasons For Shifting In The Supply Curve

There are many reasons for shifting in the supply curve. Now , we will know about some reasons for shifting in the supply curve.

Input price:

If the price of the inputs used in any production increases, then the producer will not get more profit by producing, this time the producer will reduce his production. When he reduces the production due to the increase in the input price, then his supply curve  will shift to the left. But when the input price decreases, he will increase production again, then his supply curve will shift to the right.

Technology:
If advanced technology is used, less labor is required during production, thereby reducing the producer's cost of production.   As a result, he will be able to produce more at lower cost.

Expectations:

If the producer expects that the price of what he is producing may increase in the future, then he will store it without supplying it.  The market supply will then decrease and the supply curve will shift to the left.  But if he expects that the price of his product may decrease in the future, then he will supply his product to the market now and the supply curve will shift to the right.

Number Of Sellers:
When the number of suppliers in the market increases, the supply curve will shift to the right and when the number of suppliers in the market decreases, the supply curve will shift to the left. Because if the number of suppliers increases, the supply will increase and if the number of suppliers decreases, the supply will decrease.
