However, using Stone’s price index causes a simultaneity problem since the dependent
variable wi appears on the right-hand side of the LA/AIDS. To avoid the simultaneity problem,

the lagged share has been used for P*, as log P* = ∑ wi,t-1 log pi,t (Eales and Unnevehr).

Equation (6) implies that the budget shares of various commodities are linearly related to the
logarithm of the real total expenditure and relative prices.
The general demand restrictions of adding-up, homogeneity, and symmetry are satisfied
by the following parametric restrictions on the AIDS.

Homogeneity: |
n ∑γij = 0. |
Symmetry: γij = γji .
A test procedure developed by Alston and Chalfant (1993) is used to choose between the
AIDS and the Rotterdam model. The right-hand side of a first-differentiated version of the
LA/AIDS is virtually identical to that of the Rotterdam model, even though the dependent
variables differ. In several studies, the LA/AIDS has been estimated in the first-differentiated
form (e.g., Deaton and Muellbauer, Eales and Unnevehr, Moschini and Meilke, Alston and
Chalfant). In the first-differentiated form, the LA/AIDS becomes
