I n his 1952 A Geometry of International Trade, Nobel Laureate James Meade presented the definitive modern version of the celebrated reciprocaldemand, or offer-curve, diagram of the trade theorist. The diagram features curves depicting alternative quantities of exports and imports countries are willing to trade at all possible prices (see Figure 1). Let two countries, home and foreign, trade tw...

The objective of this article is to estimate the derived demand for imported cheese products into Japan when cheese import data are disaggregated by specific cheese group and by source country of production+We provide empirical measures of the sensitivity of demand to changes in total imports, own-price, and cross-prices among exporting countries for four market segments of the cheese category+...

Assuming preferences to be generated by an aggregate utility function, an aggregate demand function for imports and exports is defined as a function of import and export prices and the deficit in the balance of payments on current account, in a model with nontradable as well as traded goods. It is shown that this function is integrable, hence can be generated by maximizing a utility function (w...

The objective of this study has been to develop a typical specification of the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) for Iran’s composition of imports including capital, intermediate and consumer goods. Accordingly, we first test the hypotheses that import demand is homothetic, homogeneous, symmetric, and depends on domestic prices. Then, we estimate the long-run elasticities of the composition o...
