How To Build An Economic Model from Scratch: 5 Steps

This video walks you through the process for building a microeconomic model from scratch. There are five main steps. Before you can do this, you need to know the basic parts of a microeconomic model. Links to videos on the parts of an economic model:

    Congratulations on your video, Ms. Hodgson! This is something that is rarely talked about, even in some economics textbooks. This content is really, really valuable. Thanks for posting it!

    You are way better style than alot of lecturers and profs of economics, they do very little explanation of this structure i don't know perhaps they don't understand enough or believe learning by doing is better, but this is excellent! I'm watching everyone of your videos Ashley :)

    Omg, after so many years of reading/using the terms 'endogenous' and 'exogenous' in a loose way, I finally now how they're technically defined!

    not just your accent is amazing, you explained something which blow my mind. ask me bootstraping your software company, ask me what tax reductions gets you most benefits and value. mecEngineer, two IT diploma, mba…i have built business from art gallery to high street restaurants.. but you opened my mind. by just simple explanation of generation of money/moment/emotion

    Thank you for simplifying this concept..... I lack words to express my gratitude... Definitely the academia these days doesn't use simple language to convey the concepts...this is how it must be taught

    This video is incredible! Thank you so much! I'm currently, for my own "fun", working on building an economic model of my home country. It's main exports are Oil and Gas, my objective is to see how price variations of these commodities influence variables such as state's budget, unemployment rates, GDP, change reserves and so on. I've been researching the subject, but I wonder, if you were to build such a model, how you would proceed?

    I'm so glad to hear it! Having an intuitive understanding of models is the most important part of understanding micro, and goofy examples like this help connect the intuition to every day life.

    When I teach microeconomic theory, I teach from Hal Varian's book (any edition), which is a classic. But this approach of teaching students the model-building framework from the beginning is more-or-less my own, and I teach it on top of the Varian content. It frames everything in Varian nicely, and is empowering to students.

    Thanks for the video, this is very clear. My question is your objective function is consist of three generic functions, how do you find the specific functional form of V(g), M(g), and H(g)?

  • @AshleyHodgson

    @AshleyHodgson

    That's a good question, and there are a few answers. One is that you could estimate those functions if you had data. Another answer is that you could leave these in generic form for your analysis, as long as you have some sense of the general shape (first derivative > 0, second derivative 0 for increasing marginal functions.
