Revealed preference and revealed preference cycles: a survey
Afriat's Theorem (1967) states that a dataset can be thought of as being generated by a consumer maximizing a continuous and increasing utility function if and only if it is free of revealed preference cycles containing a strict relation. The latter property is often known by its acronym, GARP (for generalized axiom of revealed preference). This paper surveys extensions and applications of Afriat's seminal result. We focus on those results where the consistency of a dataset with the maximization of a utility function satisfying some property can be characterized by a suitably modified version of GARP.

Reconciling revealed and stated measures for willingness to pay in recreation by building a probability model
The consumers' willingness to pay plays an important role in economic theory and in setting policy. For a market, this function can often be estimated from observed behavior -- preferences are revealed. However, economis…
Revealed Price Preference: Theory and Empirical Analysis
To determine the welfare implications of price changes in demand data, we introduce a revealed preference relation over prices. We show that the absence of cycles in this relation characterizes a consumer who trades off …

We apply a pseudo panel analysis of survey data from the years 2010 and 2017 about Americans' self-reported marital preferences and perform some formal tests on the sign and magnitude of the change in educational homophi…

We propose and develop an algebraic approach to revealed preference. Our approach dispenses with non algebraic structure, such as topological assumptions. We provide algebraic axioms of revealed preference that subsume p…
