State the law of supply and explain it

What will be an ideal response?


The law of supply indicates the direct or positive relationship between price and quantity supplied. This law states that when the price of a good increases, sellers will make more of that good available for a specified period of time, other things being equal. Other things being equal, a higher price gives producers more incentive to produce and sell more of that product. Conversely, when the price of a good decreases, sellers will make less of that good available for a specified time period.

C. ?the LPM assumes constant marginal effects for the dependent variable, while the logit and probit models imply diminishing magnitudes of the partial effects.
