Introduction this paper considers the usual type of simultaneous equations model, but with panel data and with an unobservable individual effect in each structural equation. Unlike traditional statistics programs that support viewing only one estimation equation or graph at a time, eviews allows for simultaneous display of multiple objects, each in its own window. An equation formula in eviews is a mathematical expression involving regressors and coefficients. C and y appear on both sides of respective equations and are interdependent since. Consequently, we adopt equation 6 as a promising demand specification to carry into our simultaneousequation estimation attempts to be made below. As we get more pairs more data, were not tracing out supply or demand curveswere just getting a bunch of equilibrium points and arent certain whether its supply or demand or.
