This paper presents a generalized fuel-choice model in which restrictive constraints on cross-price coefficients need not be imposed, but all demand elasticities are uniquely determined. The model is applied to estimating aggregate energy demand and fuel choices for the pulp and paper industry. The structural equations are estimated by a generalized least-squares procedure using state-level census data for 1971 and 1974. The econometric results support the argument that third-price coefficients should not be constrained in estimating relative market-share equations. 14 references, 5 tables.
