Hello! My name is Matt and I am a professional data scientist. I started out as an econ professor (see my first couple hundred videos) before I successfully transitioned in to data science in 2022. I started my channel to help with the econ classes, but now I'll try make data science videos and document my career journey instead. And maybe still do some econ. And maybe some critical thinking. Aaaand maybe some more personal ones. Who knows?
P.S.
I have a wife and 5 kids. I am a cat person. I enjoy playing piano, wood working, and working out (not that you could tell by looking at me).

Short and good thx
@@asdcsd2682 my pleasure! Glad you liked it!
You are overcomplicating it. My x* values are the solutions and do not have any unsolved or endogenous variables in them. They tell you x1 and x2 as functions of model parameters. This means a simple comparative static of model parameters works. If p1 changes, then the optimal x1 changes by a corresponding amount. Hope that helps.
This is incorrect. If the price(s) or income changes, the consumer's optimal demand changes through changes in all first order conditions. You need to differentiate each of the three first order conditions, then set up these equations in matrix form and finally apply Cramer's rule to solve for income or price effects.
Great Explanation, very helpfull for my course of Environmental Economics and Governance. Greetings from Cologne, Germany.
thanks a million,
@@christineadhiambo2896 my pleasure!
Obrigado pelo vídeo!
De nada!
Sweet spot = g sp*t 😂
he deserves 1M subscribers
Haha, I wish! But thanks!
Thank you so much, for the explanation! coherent and articulate
Glad it helped! Good luck!!
Thank you so much
You're welcome! Good luck with micro!
Really nice
Thanks! Good luck!
Hmmm, I thought that in this case there is no best response for firm 1 because it can get infinitesimally closer but under MC2 = 20 such that the infinite limit of p1 converges to 20.
Yeah in pure Bertrand the gap in the best response is infinitely small. I find people are more likely to understand it if you describe it as barely undercutting the other price. Semantics about the magnitude of the gap aside, that is still a best response function. My response is to beat your price by the smallest possible gap, conditioned on my price being greater than or equal to my MC.
Absolutely great! Thank you for sharing it with us, sir
My pleasure! Happy econ-ing!
Thanks Brother ❤❤
My pleasure!
Hey, do you have a GitHub account? I am trying to do this with a dataset consisting of 100,000 people segmented into three groups. Wanna join?
Thankuuuuu
You're welcome!!
Fantastic! Thanks a tonne!
Heck yes! I still use this instead of the fancy stuff!
watching from india love u sir we respect u
Well Amber, this comment made me smile! Thanks for the kind words, and I am glad you liked the video!
@MattBirch you are a great teacher we need more teachers like you, you are very kind and very informative and u sound very sweet i love u soo much. 💯💯❤️❤️ I am turning 16 this year but never met a teacher like u
Thank you soooo much , really appreciate it❤😊🎉Your teaching really helps me . Solve the problem I used a lot of time to think of .Don’t want to make comparison,but your explanation in video ways is clearer than my tutor write a paragraph explaining.😢Finally,I know how to do these questions.
Yay! That is awesome! Glad it helped!
amazing serie of videos for learning! :)
That is great to hear!! I find that just getting started in a new language is often the hardest part, so I am glad you found these useful!
very helpful, thanks
What does it mean if mb is bigger than mc is it good or bad for economy or it shows free riding problem
really helpful
Good! And good luck!
Thanks more
You're welcome! Good luck!
@@MattBirch tanks for talking me have a nice time
this is an amazing video, awesome explanation!
Glad it helps! Happy econ-ing!
This question had been hurting my head for 1 hour plz help i legit dont know what i mdoing wrong Consider a Bertrand duopoly where market demand is P(Q)=2-3Q. Each firm faces a marginal cost $4 and a fixed cost of $6. what is one market price that can occur in a Nash equilibrium? This is the hint that is given:In a Bertrand with fixed cost, NE is when only one firm operates in the market and the other produces zero. The one that is operating produces at the monopoly price. What I did was since it says we will charge monopolist price i set MC of 4 equal to MR which is 2-6q and got -3 as Q. HELP PLZ EDIT: UPDATE A LOT OF OTHER STUDENTS IN THE CLASS ARE SAYING THIS QUESTION AS A MISTAKE OR TYPO IN IT!!!!
If there are fixed costs, both charging P=MC will mean they both lose money. Not an equilibrium. You have the right idea. If one firm is gone, the other can do monopoly pricing. You are also right that this setup leads to a negative quantity. If you think about it, the mC is higher than the highest part of the demand curve. Neither firm is capable of turning a profit, even if the other is gone. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much for this video! you just saved me on one of my assignments.
My pleasure!
I LOVE YOU
Awwe that's sweet! Glad you liked it!
@@MattBirch just a quick question for type of duopoly we dont consider marginal revenue right?
@@solo4840 marginal revenue is always relevant to profit making decisions. It can look different though. For instance, with Bertrand it would actually be a function of p instead of q, so we often ignore it and just logic through the price vs cost comparison.
@@MattBirch alright thanks so much!
beast!
Haha, glad you approve!
You way too fast😢😢😢
Yeah it is a lot. But I suppose you can either fiddle around with playback speed or just pause a lot. 🤷 Good luck!
Soory, why borrowing money is negative net export? I'm borrow and get money, and I have good ans services which I can sell also🤯
Thank you this was incredible and informative
I am glad you liked it! Good luck!
good vid, used it to explain strawmanning to my lil bro.
Glad to hear it! Nice work!
Thank you Matt this was helpful
you sir... are a life saver thank you so much king!
Glad you liked it! 😁
If we have a percentuage subsidy, the exercise as it should be carried out?
Same idea. You could figure out the dollar value of the percentage subsidy and use these steps exactly, or you could get a little more creative and add a ratio into your setup. I'll leave that to you. Good luck!
Ok so for example if I have a subsidy for producer and consumer of 70% of the total expenditure of a certain product or market. How should I construct supply and demand functions?
@@sebastianodalsie7687 well the equilibrium price is constant right? So I would compare subsidy percentage to that . Hope that helps, but I also don't want to help too much with your work 😁
I’m watching this video as help for a problem I’m having when prepping for my micro exam, could you maybe help me out the problem is=TASK 2: Equilibrium. The demand for student apartments is given by Q=1000-P/2, while the supply is given by Q=P/2. a) Calculate the consumer surplus, the producer’s surplus, and the total surplus. b) Suppose that the rent price is set at 600 Euros by the local government. Calculate the consumer surplus, the producer’s surplus, and the deadweight loss. c) Suppose that the rent price is still set at 600 Euros by the local government, but at the same time the government pays a subsidy of 200 Euros to the owner of each house that is rented. Calculate the consumer surplus and the producer’s surplus.

How do you find optimal combination of goods using indifference curve approach?
Not sure exactly what you are looking for but I bet something here will help: Utility Maximization and Cost Minimization Videos: kzread.info/head/PLWd1brOYtkZWY-hCZ-7Sm3BQi-wqRw9Nu
hellos can I ask why do you double the slope?
Sure. It comes from the calculus if you have a linear demand curve. The derivative of q(a-bq) is a-2bq.
What happens if the firms chooses quantities instead of prices and can crammers rule be use to solve this?
I am afraid I don't even remember Crammers rule. In general, if they are choosing q, differentiate with respect to q instead of p. Depending on your setup, the steps should be somewhat similar.
May I ask, Why the q became q² in -200/q²?
Makes so much sense!!!
I was completely lost till i saw your video. How on earth more people didn't post a video about this. Thank you so much sir you explained the whole situation so well!
I am glad to hear it! Good luck!
This was excellent. Thank you sir
@MattBirch, love the video. Very useful for what I'm working on. Question though: since the R-Squared for the IV model is so low, are we still able to trust the slope coefficient and thus PED? How high of an R-Squared do we need to have a reliable demand curve?
Totally depends on context. The r squared can be higher than my little toy example of course! You can construct proper confidence intervals in an IV framework,and from there it just depends on what you need. But if you have confounding or endogeneity in your model and do normal OLS, it won't usually matter what the r squared or CI is. Because the model will give you an estimate that is biased, even with large data sets.
sir, csn i ask you a question?
Sure, but no promises. 🙂
@@MattBirch are phd in Eonomatric?
@@rijunath3036almost. PhD in economics, with a focus on econometrics.
@@MattBirch one of my friend did masters in Economics. NOW he wants to do phd in econometric.
i also want to be data scientist. can you give me your valuable suggestion, how to start learn and which topics i will cover for it. I am masters in Computer science and engineering. my future target is to do freeleansing as a data analyst.
Hi Matt, how do we get the first term 10/N in the total cost function Lt/2N + LM + NF = 10/N + 450 + NF? Shouldn't it be Lt/2N = 90 * 4 / 2N = 180 / N? Obviously, this gives us an incorrect outcome. However, I don't know how to get to the correct answer 10/N.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Now I finally understand how to draw ICs. No book, no video, no tutor made this as easy as you did.
Glad to help! Good luck!!
Great info- just enough to actually get up and running, and then figure all the hard stuff out later. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! This stuff can be nuts when you are first getting started!
very helpful!
Hello, I have ben watching your videos religiously, they are a gem. Is this whole playlist a standard IO course in order?
Glad you are liking them!! I wouldn't say it is a full IO course, but everything in the playlist should come up in an IO course. Probably in this order, but no guarantee.
Thank you very much for your quick response. @@MattBirch
