In this paper, we derive an explicit formula for the Allen determinants of composite functions of the form:% \[ f\left( \mathbf{x}\right) =F\left( h_{1}\left( x_{1}\right) \times\cdots\times h_{n}\left( x_{n}\right) \right) . \] We completely classify the composite functions by using their Allen determinants. Some applications of Allen determinants to production models are also given.
