Quality Adjustment for Spatially-Delineated Public Goods: Theory and Application to Cost-of-Living Indices in Los Angeles
This paper illustrates how public goods may be incorporated into a cost-of-living index. When public goods are weak complements to a market good, quality-adjusted prices for the market good capture all the welfare information required. They are also consistent with a Laspeyres index that maintains the bound on a true cost-of-living index. The paper recovers this information from a discrete-choi...
متن کاملPower Indices for Revealed Preference Tests
Revealed preference tests are elegant nonparametric tools that ask whether individual or aggregate data conform to economic models of optimizing behavior. In designing a test using revealed preference, however, one faces a vexing tension between goodness-of- t and power. If the test nds violations, then one must ask if the test was too demanding is there an acceptable tolerance for goodness-o...

متن کاملDEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS WORKING PAPER SERIES Falsifying the “Goodness” of Nonmarket Goods with Revealed Preference
Some assert that it is impossible to test preference restrictions against revealed preference. The “goodness” preference restriction simply assumes that one value of a nonmarket good is preferred over another other with any fixed commodity consumption. This paper uses a preference-theoretic methodology to show how goodness can be falsified by revealed preference for compensation-based welfare a...
متن کاملRevealed 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...
