where j,, is the quantity bought and sold of a commodity in year t and 1,21 is the price of that commodity in year t. Equation ( 1) represents the demand equation of the system (/31 0), wherein (, is some exogenous variable that influences the supply of the commodity, e.g., a cost variable. E1 and E2, are disturbances, each of which we assume to be serially uncorrelated and identically distributed with zero means. (, is assumed to be uncorrelated with the disturbances. The supply equation is not identified, implying that its parameters /32 and y cannot be estimated consistently. However, the demand equation is just-identified. The parameter /3, can be estimated consistently, e.g., by the method of two stage least squares (TSLS). Received for publication May 21, 1981. Revision accepted for publication March 23, 1982.
