Homothetic preferences revealed
Heufer, Jan; Hjertstrand, Per - 2017
We propose a method to recover homothetic preferences from choice data with minor optimization or measurement errors. Our method allows for a more detailed graphical analysis to reveal subjects' preferences and to choose appropriate functional forms for parametric analysis. It can also be used...

Revealed Preference and Nonparametric Analysis – Continuous Extensions and Recoverability
Heufer, Jan - 2012
This paper shows how revealed preference relations, observed under general budget sets, can be extended using closure operators which impose certain assumptions on preferences. Common extensions are based on the assumption that preferences are convex and/or monotonic, but we also consider...

Stochastic dominance and nonparametric comparative revealed risk aversion
Heufer, Jan - 2011
It is shown how to test revealed preference data on choices under uncertainty for consistency with first and second order stochastic dominance (FSD or SSD). The axiom derived for SSD is a necessary and sufficient condition for risk aversion. If an investor is risk averse, stochastic dominance...

Measuring tastes for equity and aggregate wealth behind the veil of ignorance
Heufer, Jan; Shachat, Jason M.; Xu, Yan - 2018
We propose an instrument to measure individuals' social preferences regarding equity and efficiency behind a veil of ignorance. We pair portfolio and wealth distribution choice problems which have a common budget set. For a given bundle, the distribution over an individual's wealth is the same...

Afriat's Theorem for General Budget Sets
Forges, Francoise - 2006
Afriat (1967) showed the equivalence of the strong axiom of revealed preference and the existence of a solution to a set of linear inequalities. From this solution he constructed a utility function rationalizing the choices of a competitive consumer. We extend Afriat's theorem to a class of...
