Abstract
This paper is concerned with the problem of estimating demand and supply
schedules in disequilibrium markets. The results of Fair and Jaffee are
expanded in three ways. (1) Their directional method I is modified to
yield consistent estimates. (2) A maximum likelihood alternative to
their quantitative method is proposed. (3) The price equation is
generalized to be a multivariate, stochastic function, and a method is
proposed for estimating demand and supply schedules in this case.
Comments
This paper is an extension of my paper with D.M. Jaffee,
1972#1. It is one of many papers
that followed
from the Fair-Jaffee paper.
