This paper studied the United States import market for Chilean tablegrapes, with the objective of analyzing the competitiveness of Chile inthis market. Using the LA/AIDS model (Linear Approximation almost IdealDemand System), the import demand parameters were obtained for Chile,Mexico and the...

We develop a structural econometric model of import demand for Pakistan, with binding foreign exchange constraint. ARDL and DOLS techniques are used to estimate the log-run coefficients of price and income elasticities. The empirical results from ARDL bound testing approach and Johansen’s...

This study revisits the import demand function for Turkey using the newly defined national income data and examines the evolution of the income and price elasticities over time. In this respect, demand functions are estimated for the total imports and its subcomponents separately, and the...

In advanced economies, rising inequality has become a significant economic issue. Our paper examines one dimension of the impact of inequality. This study employs panel estimators that tackle heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence to estimate the impact of income inequality on import...

The notion of the determinants of import demand has become a major policy issue in most countries due to the persistent trade deficits being experienced and their effects on the economy. Against this backdrop, this study empirically examined the factors determining import demand in Zimbabwe...

Aggregate export supply function for US corn and bilateral import functions for US corn by Mexico, Japan, China, South Korea, and the EU are estimated using ARDL estimation techniques. The findings of the study show that export price, technology, and lagged exports impact positively on US corn...

Purpose - This study estimated total import demand elasticities concerning income, import prices and domestic prices. A high propensity to import constitutes a significant obstacle to economic growth in Mexico since the benefits of increased exports or any other aggregate demand expansion leak...
