Note: aFor the CLIDS, the estimated
standard error must be interpreted with care since the standard asymptotic
theory is inapplicable when parameters are subject to inequality constraints.
bThe constraints g4 ³ 0 and g5 ³ 0 were binding, and hence
no estimated standard errors are reported.

Note: ,
and si are the point estimates of
the elasticity equations ,
and Si respectively.
Let the set of indices of the
quantities x be I = {1, 2,……, N}, and order these quantities in M separable groups
defined by the mutually exclusive and exhaustive partition I0 = {I1,…,
Im, …, IM} (M £ N)
of the set I. Then preferences are
said to be implicitly separable in the partition I0 if the distance function has the structure:
D(x, u) =
D0[u, D1(x1, u),…, Dm(xm,
u),…, DM(xM, u)],
where xm is a vector of quantities in the partition I0,
and the Dm are quasi-distance functions depending only on group
quantities xm and utility level u.
Let
denote the compensated cross quantity elasticities between two goods in different
groups. It is shown that the compensated elasticity equations corresponding to are given by:
= =
= =
which suggests that the signs and
size of should be the same for all .
