eEconomic Model An economic model attempts to abstract from complex human behavior in a way that sheds some insight

into a particular aspect of that behavior. This process inherently ignores important aspects of real-world behavior, making the modeling process an art as well as a mathematical exercise. (Isang pangekonomiya modelo na isang pinasimple napaglalarawan ng katotohanan)

There are two broad classes of economic models-1. Theoretical models seek to derive verifiable implications about economic behavior under the assumption that agents maximize specific objectives subject to constraints that are well defined in the model (for example, an agents budget). They provide qualitative answers to specific questionssuch as the implications of asymmetric information (when one side to a transaction knows more than the other) or how best to handle market failures. 2. In contrast, empirical models aim to verify the qualitative predictions of theoretical models and convert these predictions to precise, numerical outcomes. For example, a theoretical model of an agents consumption behavior would generally suggest a positive relationship between expenditure and income. The empirical adaptation of the theoretical model would attempt to assign a numerical value to the average amount expenditure increases when income increases.
