marginal_effects {markets}

Marginal effects

Description

Returns the estimated effect of a variable. The effect accounts for both sides of the market. If the given variable belongs only to the demand side, the name of result is prefixed by "D_". If the given variable belongs only to the supply side, the name of result is prefixed by "S_". If the variable can be found both sides, the result name is prefixed by "B_".

Arguments

fit

A fitted market model.

variable

Variable name for which the effect is calculated.

model

A market model object.

parameters

A vector of parameters.

aggregate

Mode of aggregation. Valid options are "mean" (the default) and "at_the_mean".

Value

The estimated effect of the passed variable.

Functions

• shortage_marginal(): Marginal effect on market system

  Returns the estimated marginal effect of a variable on the market system. For a system variable x with demand coefficient \beta_{d, x} and supply coefficient \beta_{s, x}, the marginal effect on the market system is given by

  M_{x} = \frac{\beta_{d, x} - \beta_{s, x}}{\sqrt{\sigma_{d}^{2} + \sigma_{s}^{2} - 2 \rho_{ds} \sigma_{d} \sigma_{s}}}.

• shortage_probability_marginal(): Marginal effect on shortage probabilities

  Returns the estimated marginal effect of a variable on the probability of observing a shortage state. The mean marginal effect (aggregate = "mean") on the shortage probability is given by

  M_{x} \mathrm{E} \phi\left(\frac{D - S}{\sqrt{\sigma_{d}^2 + \sigma_{s}^2 - 2 rho \sigma_{d} \sigma_{s}}}\right)

  . and the marginal effect at the mean (aggregate = "at_the_mean") by

  M_{x} \phi\left(\mathrm{E}\frac{D - S}{\sqrt{\sigma_{d}^2 + \sigma_{s}^2 - 2 rho \sigma_{d} \sigma_{s}}}\right)

  where M_{x} is the marginal effect on the system, D is the demanded quantity, S the supplied quantity, and \phi is the standard normal density.
