For one, prices are not a linear function of demand like that, I've done regressions on price and always find an exponential relationship. Second,...
You are basically looking for a number that relates supply and demand. Why is price not what you are looking for? To the extent you want to...
Sorry, what is your formula, I don't see it anywhere. What is the denominator of the extant ratio? If it's demand, doesn't that just give you...
