This article aims to provide an introduction to empirical revealed preference (RP) and an
overview of the current state of the field. We hope to give a sense of how RP methods work …

Abstract Since Paul Samuelson introduced the theory of revealed preference, it has become
one of the most important concepts in economics. This chapter surveys some recent …

We present the revealed preference conditions that characterize the data sets that are
consistent with the maximization of a weakly separable utility function. We show that …

In this chapter, we discuss household decision-making processes and the extent to which
the standard (neoclassical) properties of demand hold up in more complex household …

We provide results on the computational complexity of goodness-of-fit measures (ie, Afriat's
efficiency index, Varian's efficiency vector-index, and the Houtman-Maks index) associated …

This paper focuses on revealed preference tests of the collective model of household
consumption. We start by showing that the decision problems corresponding to testing …

This manuscript is an exploration of the ubiquity of ambiguity in decision-making under
uncertainty. The text consists of two parts, Part I on Affective Moods and Part II on Affective …

Welfare economics relies on access to agents' utility functions: we revisit classical questions
in welfare economics, assuming access to data on agents' past choices instead of their …

This paper develops mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulations to compute
various revealed preference goodness-of-fit measures. We provide MILP formulations to …

The theory of revealed preferences offers an elegant way to test the neoclassical model of
utility maximization subject to a linear budget constraint. In many settings, however, the set …
