Abstract: Using time-series data we estimate a linear logit model of cost shares of fiber use in U.S. textile production, which incorporates the impact of technical change and partial adjustment on the derived demand for cotton, wool and manmade fibers. Technical change has decreased cotton use in U.S. textile mills.
