Testing for Intertemporal Nonseparability

This paper presents a nonparametric analysis of intertemporal models of consumer choice that relax consumption independence. We compare the revealed preference conditions for the intertemporally nonseparable models of rational habit formation and rational anticipation. We show that these models are nonparametrically equivalent in the usual empirical setting.
