Abstract

In the mid-1960s Barten (1964) and Theil (1965) developed the first widely-recognized demand system, the so-called Rotterdam model, that was sufficiently general to permit the testing of homogeneity and symmetry. Later that decade, Theil (1969) introduced ‘The Multinomial Extension of the Linear Logit Model’ and manipulated it to show its connection with the Rotterdam model.
