摘要:
This paper extends the deterministic revealed preference theory of consumers' behavior to permit stochastic choices. In this extended framework, we introduce a restriction on stochastic choices that constitutes a stochastic counterpart of the weak axiom of revealed preference. This restriction allows us to derive stochastic versions of nonpositivity of the own substitution effect and the demand theorem. Journal of Economic Literature, Classification Number Number: D11.
