Revealed preference analysis of characteristics models
Characteristics models have been found to be useful in many areas of economics. However, their empirical implementation tends to rely heavily on functional form assumptions. In this paper we develop a revealed preference approach to characteristics models. We derive the necessary and su¢ cient empirical conditions under which data on the market behaviour of heterogeneous, price-taking consumers...

متن کاملKernel Methods for Revealed Preference Analysis
In classical revealed preference analysis we are given a sequence of linear prices (i.e., additive over goods) and an agent’s demand at each of the prices. The problem is to determine whether the observed demands are consistent with utility-maximizing behavior, and if so, recover a representation of the agent’s utility function. In this work, we consider a setting where an agent responds to non...
متن کاملSTRATEGIC COMPLEMENTARITY: a revealed preference analysis
Extended Abstract: The most familiar setting for revealed preference analysis is that of consumer demand. In that context, Afriat’s Theorem (1967) gives necessary and sufficient conditions on a collection of observations to be consistent with the maximization of a monotone utility function, where each observation consists of a price vector and a demand bundle. Afriat’s Theorem is the starting p...
متن کاملIs utility transferable? A revealed preference analysis
The transferable utility hypothesis underlies important theoretical results in household economics. We provide a revealed preference framework for bringing this (theoretically appealing) hypothesis to observational data. We establish revealed preference conditions that must be satisfied for observed household consumption behavior to be consistent with transferable utility. We also show that the...
