Description
Book SynopsisThe theory of revealed preference has a long, distinguished tradition in economics but lacked a systematic presentation of the theory until now. This book deals with basic questions in economic theory and studies situations in which empirical observations are consistent or inconsistent with some of the best known economic theories.
Trade Review'The book is an extremely important contribution to the literature, and unlike most other texts which summarize the research in areas of mathematical economics, there is a serious effort to make the reader aware that contemporary RPT is a tool for applied economists that competes with the ever-expanding set of empirical tools now available.' D. Wade Hands, Oeconomia
