periods of time as opposed to one period of time when using cross-sectional data. II. What is the identification problem? What effect will this problem have on the regression estimates of a demand function? Explain. The identification problem occurs when there is an inability in the principle to identify the best estimate of values of one or more variables in regression. This problem effects regression estimates of a demand function because there is a simultaneous shifting of both the supply and
