I don't know anything about the literature here. But -dirifit- from
SSC is directed at modelling a set of variables, all proportions and
all adding to 1. You should be able to tell quickly if it is any use

I.e., could I get some shares to be zero or others to be one. I think your recommended articles may well solve this problem because it is essentially a corner solution problem and I guess in demand share estimation the corner solution expenditure share = 1 is never really a problem.
