Consumer Theory
Consumer theory is concerned with how a rational consumer would make consumption decisions. What makes this problem worthy of separate study, apart from the general problem of choice theory, is its particular structure that allows us to derive economically meaningful results. The structure arises because the consumer’s choice sets sets are assumed to be defined by certain prices and the consume...

متن کاملConsumer choice and revealed bounded rationality
We study two boundedly rational procedures in consumer behavior. We show that these procedures can be detected by conditions on observable demand data of the same type as standard revealed preference axioms. This provides the basis for a non-parametric analysis of boundedly rational consumer behavior mirroring the classical one for utility maximization.
متن کاملCumulative Utility Consumer Theory
This paper makes some preliminary steps towards a dynamic theory of consumer choices, restricted to the case of repeated small decisions. We assume that the consumer chooses among products, rather than among bundles, and that she bases her decision on a cumulative satisfaction index. Such a consumer is not necessarily "optimizing" and may be "satisficing" in the sense of Simon (1957). The aggre...
متن کاملRevealed (P)Reference Theory
This paper develops axiomatically a revealed preference theory of reference-dependent choice behavior. Instead of taking the reference for an agent as exogenously given in the description of a choice problem, we suitably relax the Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference to obtain, endogenously, the existence of reference alternatives as well as the structure of choice behavior conditional on those al...
