Abstract

This paper proposes a rigorous framework for the incorporation of char acteristics in estimating U.S. import-demand functions by regions of origin. Assuming a CES aggregator function, the authors derive an imp ort-share equation that is identical for all regions. The results ind icate that the U.S. import share of a foreign region is positively re lated to that region's economic size, labor intensity, labor efficien cy, and proximity to the United States.
