abstract successful presence of indian and pakistani rice in iran’s market due to having similar quality with the domestic rice, extensive advertisement, and good packaging has faced rice production in iran with a big challenge. assuming that the attractions of iranian consumers toward these imported rice varieties are a signal of changes in the preferences of the domestic consumers in favor of...

stability and structural change of iranian consumers' preference for tea commodities during 1988-2005 is investigated throughout the coarse of this study. to this end, nonparametric test of revealed preference has been utilized. results of weak axiom of revealed preference (warp) show that in 1995 a contradiction has been in observed consumers' preference for tea with the null hypothe...

We provide a generalized revealed preference test for quasilinear preferences. The applies to nonlinear budget sets and non-convex preferences as those found in taxation pricing contexts. study the prevalence of laboratory real-effort task experiment with wages. demonstrates empirical relevance our test. find support either convex (non-separable) or but weak hypothesis both

We provide criteria for a set of observed choices to be generated by a quasi-linear preference relation. These criteria are valid if choice sets are compact and downward closed and do not require preferences to be convex. We show that under the added assumption that choice sets can be represented by linear budget sets, our condition also implies the existence of a quasi-linear utility represent...

This paper estimates workers’ preferences for firms by studying the structure of employer-toemployer transitions in U.S. administrative data. The paper uses a tool from numerical linear algebra to measure the central tendency of worker flows, which is closely related to the ranking of firms revealed by workers’ choices. There is evidence for compensating differential when workers systematically...
