Rhoades then identifies and classifies all the critical variables on both the demand and supply side of the market. These are then combined in a series of to which 1987 data is fitted. Rhoades performs both bivariate and multivariate analysis and then draws conclusions about the statistical significance of the variables.Although the basis for the analysis is theoretical and statistical, the complexities are minimized and the slim volume is very readable.
