This paper utilizes the notion of `effective global regularity' and the intuition stemming from Cooper and McLaren (1996)'s General Exponential Form to develop a family of `composite' (product and ratio) direct, inverse and mixed demand systems. Apart from having larger regularity regions, the...

We introduce new definition and estimation procedures of trade benefit functions that allow researchers to generate estimable import share functions. The method is based on the work of Chau and Färe, while it is more general in permitting the estimation of Hicksian import share systems, which...
