The "Constant Difference Of Elasticities" (Cde) Functional Form: A Neglected Alternative

Author

Listed:
  • Surry, Yves

Abstract

Unlike those flexible functional forms which are local approximations, the "Constant Difference of Elasticities" (COE) function is globally well-behaved. Due to its theoretical properties and parsimony in the number of parameters, the COE functional form offers many potential applications in pro.duction, consumption and trade analysis.
