Hilarious.

Check out the supply/demand Figure 4-8 on page 80

Economists can't handle non-linear relationships.

Prosecution rests.

what is it trying to illustrate in the model?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've made my point.

The example text book you pulled of the shelf written by "proper economists" has the exact same linear S/D diagram I posted at the top of this thread.

so you can't figure out the point it's trying to illustrate by simplifying assumptions. tada!

let me give you some advice. read the text instead of just skimming for pretty pictures. maybe next time you won't fail your economics class

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

never once in my economics education did they [draw straight lines].

It seems you are the one who should have paid attention in class.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

considering i'm the one who has experience in econometrics and you're arguing ITS ALL STRAIGHT LINES because you never got past that part, yeah no.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You have no academic experience. You can't even quote properly.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

sure dude sure. keep making stuff up.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Making stuff up is literally what I just accused you of.

Only you have written "ITS ALL STRAIGHT LINES".

I'd accuse you of being an LLM but no-one would train something to score this many own goals.

You're so incredibly dumb, the flailing is hilarious. You wouldn't pass micro I, let alone macro.
