Energy demand models based on the translog and CES functions

David B. Reister and James A. Edmonds

Energy, 1981, vol. 6, issue 9, 917-926

Abstract: The translog function is a flexible form but does not have good global properties. The CES function has good global properties but is not a flexible form. For energy demand models that should be valid in a large domain, global properties are important.
