Good econometric modeling goes far beyond basic statistics. Hence the reason why applying supply and demand to macroeconomics doesn't not work (you are aware of course, of the failure of supply side economics?) because it's a two dimensional construct but the economy is multidimensional.

I did not have that hard a time getting statistics students to embrace the idea that economics is a little more complicated than "this therefore that". So, i'll assume you'll embrace it too.

Now, could you point me to a study that supports your hypothesis?
