Relationships in Econometrics

A
  1. Causation

23
Q

This is also referred to as cause and effect

A

A

Linear Regression

25
It has a dependent variable that is a continuous variable, while the independent variables can take any form (continuous, discrete, or indicator variables).
Linear regression
26
The 2 classifications of Linear Regression
1. Simple linear regression 2. Multiple Linear Regression
27
is seen to slope higher because providers are prepared to create more when prices rise .
Supply
28
is thought to slope downward since customers tend to buy less when prices are greater.
Demand
29
It displays the amounts of a certain commodity or service that consumers will be able and willing to buy at each price throughout a given time frame.
Demand curve
30
It displays the volume of goods that merchants will put up for sale at each price during that time.
Supply Curve
31
outlines the quantity of goods a provider is prepared and ready to give the market at particular price points over a specific time frame.
Supply slope
32
shows exactly how many units of a good or service will be purchased at various price points.
Demand Slope
33
Is the quantity of a commodity that people are willing to buy at a particular price at a particular point of time.
Quantity Demanded
34
refers to a specific point on that curve, where a certain price is associated with a certain quantity.
Quantity demanded
35
defined as the total amount of a good or service that producers and suppliers are willing and able to sell at a given price in a given period of time.
Quantity Supplied
36
states that as prices rise, customers buy less.
Law of Demand
37
says that when prices rise, companies see more profit potential and increase the supply of goods and services.
Law of Supply
38
Occurs at the point where the aggregate demand meets the aggregate supply.
Equilibrium
39
is the total monetary or market value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country’s borders in a specific time period.
Gross Domestic Produce
40
As a broad measure of overall domestic production, it functions as a comprehensive scorecard of a given country’s economic health.
Gross Domestic Product
41
is an assessment of economic production in an economy that includes current prices in its calculation.
Nominal GDP
42
An inflation-adjusted measure that reflects the value of all goods and services produced by an economy in a given year.
Real GDP
