Which of the statements best describes an exogenous variable in an economic model?
An exogenous variable is a variable whose value does not have a relationship with the other variables in the model.
An exogenous variable is a variable whose value is not included in the model
An exogenous variable whose value does not change as the state of the economy changes
An exogenous variable is a variable whose value does change as the stae of the economy changes
The demand and supply of pizza is defined by the following equations:
Qd = D(P, Y ) = 1 + Y − 2P
Qs = D(P, PM) = 2 P/PM
where, Qd is quantity demand, P is the price of each pizza sold, Y is the average income of consumers, Qs is the quantity supplied, and Pm is the price of inputs used in the production of pizza.
(a) List the endogenous and exogenous variables of this model
(b) Find the equilibrium price Pe and quantity Qe of pizza as a function of the exogenous variables.
(c) Use a simple demand and supply diagram to show what happens to the equilibrium price and quantity when there is an increase in one of the exogenous variables.

- Modern economic models sometimes require strong assumptions. What do you think are some of the trade-offs between a more rigorous, logically cohesive model with strong assumptions but clear inferences and a description of problems followed by a verbal discussion of possible implications?arrow_forwardWhich statement is not true about the use of models in economics? 1. They are based on simplifying assumptions. 2. They are used to forecast economic variaables such as GDP growth. 3. They must closely mirror real life in order to be informative. 4. There are often multiple models that seek to explain the same economic phenomena. 5. They are usually represented graphicallyarrow_forwardDifferentiate between an exogenous variable and an endogenous variable in an economic model?

Political economy explains the functioning of government. Behavioral economics ties psychology into human behavior. Economists assume that individuals make rational decisions. However real people are more complex. Based on what you have learned in your assigned reading, answer the following questions in your initial post: What are the human behaviors economists should observe when creating economic models? Example: people tend to find solutions that are good enough, but not the best solutions. In your responses, comment on at least two of your peers' posts and share example of how non-rational human behavior can change an economic outcome.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about economic models is correct? a) models are built to mirror exact reality b) models are useful, but they should not be used for the purpose of improving public policies c) models seldom incorporate equations or diagrams d) economic models omit many details, therefore they allow us to see what is truly importantarrow_forward
- Please indicate whether the statement is true, false, or uncertain for each of the following two statements, and explain why. If the statement has two parts, or partly true and partly wrong, explain both. The evaluation of your answer focuses on the quality of your explanation. Given the following information: A fundamental feature of a market economy is that no consumer is forced to buy a specific number of units of a product—each consumer is free to decide not to buy if the consumer thinks that the price is too high. Statement to evaluate: This fundamental feature substantially weakens the economic case for the government to regulate the price charged by a monopoly for its product. [In your answer, assume that there are no externalities from this product, and there is no asymmetric information.]arrow_forwardThe COVID pandemic has changed where many people are able to do their work at the city or metro-area level. Which of the following best describes the predictions from a Rosen-Roback style model on how separating work (in the model, wage) from location of residence might impact house prices across different areas. O. This should put upward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high-wage areas, and downward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high amenity areas. O. This should put downward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high-wage areas, and upward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high amenity areas. O. This should put upward pressure on house prices across all areas, regardless of the initial factors associated with that area. O. This should put downward pressure on house prices across all areas, regardless of the initial factors associated with that area.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not correct about most economic models?
