A Comprehensive Approach to Revealed Preference Theory∗
We develop a version of Afriat’s Theorem that is applicable to a variety of choice environments, beyond the setting of classical consumer theory. This allows us to devise tests for rationalizability in the context of choice data on lotteries, contingent consumption, and intertemporal consumption. We also establish a version of Richter’s Theorem that characterizes the strict rationalizability of...
متن کاملFuzzy Choice Functions - A Revealed Preference Approach
As mentioned in the Introduction, it has the following goals: to develop the main topics of revealed preference theory (rationality, revealed preference, congruence, consistency) for a large class of fuzzy choice functions, to explore new topics (degree of dominance, similarity, indicators of rationality) specific to a fuzzy approach to choice functions and to show the manner in which some prob...
متن کاملHow Demanding Is the Revealed Preference Approach to Demand?
A well known problem with revealed preference methods is that when data are found to satisfy their restrictions it is hard to know whether this should be viewed as a triumph for economic theory, or a warning that these conditions are so undemanding that almost anything goes. This paper allows researchers to make this distinction. Our approach builds on theoretical support in the form of an axio...
متن کاملRisk Aversion and Stochastic Dominance: A Revealed Preference Approach
Theoretically, given a choice over two risky assets with equivalent expected returns, a risk averse expected utility maximizer should choose the second-order stochastically dominant asset. We develop a theoretical framework that allows for decision error, which should decrease in risk aversion. We conduct an experiment using a risk preference elicitation mechanism to identify risk averse indivi...
متن کاملHow costly is hospital quality? A revealed-preference approach.
We analyze the cost of quality improvement in hospitals, dealing with two challenges. Hospital quality is multidimensional and hard to measure, while unobserved productivity may influence quality supply. We infer the quality of hospitals in Los Angeles from patient choices. We then incorporate ‘revealed quality’ into a cost function, instrumenting with hospital demand. We find that revealed qua...
