“All along the curves”: Bridging the gap between comparative statics and simultaneous econometric models
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-31)A simultaneous econometric model of supply and demand provides estimates of own-price effects and the effect of exogenous variables on supply or demand. Most of the time economists use elasticities derived from econometric analysis in a ceteris paribus context, more seldom in a total elasticity setting (Buse in J Farm Econ 40:881–891, 1958). Perhaps even more seldom net effects of exogenous changes ... -

Self-monitoring is suggested as a possible moderator in the relationship ... -
