Package: micEconCES Version: 1.0-2 Date: 2022-12-23 Title: Analysis with the Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) Function Author: Arne Henningsen and Geraldine Henningsen Maintainer: Arne Henningsen Depends: R (>= 2.4.0), minpack.lm (>= 1.1-4), DEoptim (>= 2.0-4), car (>= 2.0-0) Suggests: maxLik (>= 0.8-0), xtable (>= 1.5-6), AER (>= 1.1-9) Imports: systemfit (>= 1.0-0), micEcon (>= 0.6-1), miscTools (>= 0.6-1) Description: Tools for econometric analysis and economic modelling with the traditional two-input Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) function and with nested CES functions with three and four inputs. The econometric estimation can be done by the Kmenta approximation, or non-linear least-squares using various gradient-based or global optimisation algorithms. Some of these algorithms can constrain the parameters to certain ranges, e.g. economically meaningful values. Furthermore, the non-linear least-squares estimation can be combined with a grid-search for the rho-parameter(s). The estimation methods are described in Henningsen et al. (2021) .
