Chapter Seven Revealed Preference
Revealed Preference Analysis u Suppose we observe the demands (consumption choices) that a consumer makes for different budgets. This reveals information about the consumer’s preferences. We can use this information to. . .
Revealed Preference Analysis – Test the behavioral hypothesis that a consumer chooses the most preferred bundle from those available. – Discover the consumer’s preference relation.
Assumptions on Preferences u Preferences – do not change while the choice data are gathered. – are strictly convex. – are monotonic. u Together, convexity and monotonicity imply that the most preferred affordable bundle is unique.
Assumptions on Preferences x 2 If preferences are convex and monotonic (i. e. well-behaved) then the most preferred affordable bundle is unique. x 2* x 1
Direct Preference Revelation u Suppose that the bundle x* is chosen when the bundle y is affordable. Then x* is revealed directly as preferred to y (otherwise y would have been chosen).
Direct Preference Revelation x 2 The chosen bundle x* is revealed directly as preferred to the bundles y and z. x* y z x 1
Direct Preference Revelation u That x is revealed directly as preferred to y will be written as p x D y.
Indirect Preference Revelation u Suppose x is revealed directly preferred to y, and y is revealed directly preferred to z. Then, by transitivity, x is revealed indirectly as preferred to z. Write this as x z p I p p D y and y D z x p so x I z.
Indirect Preference Revelation x 2 z is not affordable when x* is chosen. x* z x 1
Indirect Preference Revelation x 2 x* is not affordable when y* is chosen. x* y* z x 1
Indirect Preference Revelation x 2 z is not affordable when x* is chosen. x* is not affordable when y* is chosen. x* y* z x 1
Indirect Preference Revelation x 2 z is not affordable when x* is chosen. x* is not affordable when y* is chosen. So x* and z cannot be compared x* directly. y* z x 1
Indirect Preference Revelation z is not affordable when x* is chosen. x* is not affordable when y* is chosen. So x* and z cannot be compared x* directly. But x*x* y* y* D z p x 2 x 1
Indirect Preference Revelation z is not affordable when x* is chosen. x* is not affordable when y* is chosen. So x* and z cannot be compared x* directly. But x*x* y* y* D z and y* z p p x 2 D x 1
Indirect Preference Revelation z is not affordable when x* is chosen. x* is not affordable when y* is chosen. So x* and z cannot be compared x* directly. But x*x* y* y* D z and y* z p p D x 1 so x* p x 2 I z.
Two Axioms of Revealed Preference u To apply revealed preference analysis, choices must satisfy two criteria -- the Weak and the Strong Axioms of Revealed Preference.
The Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP) u If the bundle x is revealed directly as preferred to the bundle y then it is never the case that y is revealed directly as preferred to x; i. e. p D y not (y p x D x).
The Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP) u Choice data which violate the WARP are inconsistent with economic rationality. u The WARP is a necessary condition for applying economic rationality to explain observed choices.
The Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP) u What choice data violate the WARP?
x 2 The Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP) y x x 1
x is chosen when y is available so x y. p x 2 The Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP) D y x x 1
x is chosen when y is available so x y. p D y is chosen when x is available so y x. p x 2 The Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP) y D x x 1
x is chosen when y is available so x y. p D y is chosen when x is available so y x. D These statements are inconsistent with x each other. x 1 p x 2 The Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP) y
Checking if Data Violate the WARP u. A consumer makes the following choices: – At prices (p 1, p 2)=($2, $2) the choice was (x 1, x 2) = (10, 1). – At (p 1, p 2)=($2, $1) the choice was (x 1, x 2) = (5, 5). – At (p 1, p 2)=($1, $2) the choice was (x 1, x 2) = (5, 4). u Is the WARP violated by these data?
Checking if Data Violate the WARP
Checking if Data Violate the WARP Red numbers are costs of chosen bundles.
Checking if Data Violate the WARP Circles surround affordable bundles that were not chosen.
Checking if Data Violate the WARP Circles surround affordable bundles that were not chosen.
Checking if Data Violate the WARP Circles surround affordable bundles that were not chosen.
Checking if Data Violate the WARP
Checking if Data Violate the WARP
Checking if Data Violate the WARP (10, 1) is directly revealed preferred to (5, 4), but (5, 4) is directly revealed preferred to (10, 1), so the WARP is violated by the data.
Checking if Data Violate the WARP x 2 p D (10, 1) p (5, 4) D (5, 4) x 1
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference (SARP) u If the bundle x is revealed (directly or indirectly) as preferred to the bundle y and x ¹ y, then it is never the case that the y is revealed (directly or indirectly) as preferred to x; i. e. x y or x y p p D x or y p not ( y I I x ).
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference u What choice data would satisfy the WARP but violate the SARP?
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference u Consider the following data: A: (p 1, p 2, p 3) = (1, 3, 10) & (x 1, x 2, x 3) = (3, 1, 4) B: (p 1, p 2, p 3) = (4, 3, 6) & (x 1, x 2, x 3) = (2, 5, 3) C: (p 1, p 2, p 3) = (1, 1, 5) & (x 1, x 2, x 3) = (4, 4, 3)
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference A: ($1, $3, $10) (3, 1, 4). B: ($4, $3, $6) (2, 5, 3). C: ($1, $5) (4, 4, 3).
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference In situation A, bundle A is directly revealed preferred to bundle C; A C. p D
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference In situation B, bundle B is directly revealed preferred to bundle A; B A. p D
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference In situation C, bundle C is directly revealed preferred to bundle B; C B. p D
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference The data do not violate the WARP.
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference We have that D B p p p D C, B p A A. A and C D so, by transitivity, p I p A B, B I C and C I The data do not violate the WARP but. . .
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference We have that p p D C, B D p A A and C D B I so, by transitivity, p p I B, B I p A I C and C I A. I The data do not violate the WARP but. . .
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference p D A is inconsistent p B with A I B. I I I The data do not violate the WARP but. . .
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference p D C is inconsistent p A with C I A. I I I The data do not violate the WARP but. . .
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference p D B is inconsistent p C with B I C. I I I The data do not violate the WARP but. . .
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference The data do not violate the WARP but there are 3 violations of the SARP. I I I
The Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference u That the observed choice data satisfy the SARP is a condition necessary and sufficient for there to be a well-behaved preference relation that “rationalizes” the data. u So our 3 data cannot be rationalized by a well-behaved preference relation.
Recovering Indifference Curves u Suppose we have the choice data satisfy the SARP. u Then we can discover approximately where are the consumer’s indifference curves. u How?
Recovering Indifference Curves u Suppose we observe: A: (p 1, p 2) = ($1, $1) & (x 1, x 2) = (15, 15) B: (p 1, p 2) = ($2, $1) & (x 1, x 2) = (10, 20) C: (p 1, p 2) = ($1, $2) & (x 1, x 2) = (20, 10) D: (p 1, p 2) = ($2, $5) & (x 1, x 2) = (30, 12) E: (p 1, p 2) = ($5, $2) & (x 1, x 2) = (12, 30). u Where lies the indifference curve containing the bundle A = (15, 15)?
Recovering Indifference Curves u The table showing direct preference revelations is:
Recovering Indifference Curves Direct revelations only; the WARP is not violated by the data.
Recovering Indifference Curves u Indirect preference revelations add no extra information, so the table showing both direct and indirect preference revelations is the same as the table showing only the direct preference revelations:
Recovering Indifference Curves Both direct and indirect revelations; neither WARP nor SARP are violated by the data.
Recovering Indifference Curves u Since the choices satisfy the SARP, there is a well-behaved preference relation that “rationalizes” the choices.
