Some empirical extrapolations are performed which indicate that if the process of disaggregation were to be carried sufficiently far (to approximately the 17th to 23rd SITC level), virtually all intra-industry trade could be expected to disappear from international trade statistics. It is also...

An n-commodity, n-factor, K-country log-linear model is developed, with identical Cobb-Douglas production coefficients and identical consumer expenditure shares across countries, in which factor endowments are such as to permit positive production of all commodities in all countries, hence...

This paper considers explicit representations for very general (discrete and continuous-time) intertemporal consumption-maximization models which allow the instantaneous preferences of the consumer and the time-preference factors to vary over time and for the non-existence of utility functions,...

This paper estimates trade-demand functions for Germany from monthly data covering the period 1959-1988. It is assumed that these trade-demand functions have the form of the Linear Expenditure System, generated by a shifted Cobb-Douglas trade-utility function in which the shift parameter is...

From the point of view of consumer demand theory the linear expenditure system (LES) provides a convenient model for representing consumer response to price and income and its linearity is one of its most attractive features. But when estimation problems are discussed, the descriptive adjective...

This paper derives closed-form solutions for the total consumption-expenditure function (i.e. aggregate consumption function), the savings function and the demand functions from a nonstationary intertemporal utility-maximization problem under uncertainty for a class of demand systems, including...
