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...

We develop a model of demand where consumers trade-off the utility of consumption against the disutility of expenditure. This model is appropriate whenever a consumer's demand over a strict subset of all available goods is being analyzed. Data sets consistent with this model are characterized by...

Measurement error causes a loss of distributional information, preventing the researcher from applying the deterministic revealed-preference tools at the individual level. This paper proposes a new statistical revealed-preference framework that is applicable to such cases. We use our framework...

Many theoretical models of stochastic choice are characterized by availability variation. Instead, most stochastic choice datasets have information on attribute values that vary across decision problems. This paper uses attribute variation to characterize a framework that encompasses existing...

This paper explorers rationalizability issues for finite sets of observations of stochastic choice in the framework introduced by Bandyopadhyay et al. (JET, 1999). Is is argued that a useful approach is to consider indirect preferences on budgets instead of direct preferences on commodity...
