Mathematical derivations of linearised nested demand functions<br />

Composite Input Nest<br />

This appendix is based on the mathematical techniques provided in Dixon et al., (1992).<br />

The top nest in the tree is by definition a single production process Leontief structure.<br />

Hence, assuming rationality on the part of producers, levels demands for composite inputs<br />

are restricted by a fixed share coefficient. Composite intermediate and primary factor<br />

demands are given in equation B1:<br />

where γ j,k are the fixed input-output coefficients. Linearised Leontief demands are given as:<br />
