In this article, we study the axiomatic foundations of revealed preference theory. Let P denote the strict and R the weak revealed preference, respectively. The purpose of the paper is to show that weak, strong, and Hansson's axioms of revealed preference can be given as identities using the...

We study the behavioral denition of complementary goods: if the price of one good increases, demand for a complementary good must decrease. We obtain its full implications for observable demand behavior (its testable implications), and for the consumer's underlying preferences. We characterize...

The Weak Weak Axiom (WWA) for the aggregate excess demand function ensures uniqueness of equilibrium in regular economies. Jerison (1999) shows that the WWA holds if the excess demand satisfies the hypothesis of Nondecreasing Dispersion of Excess Demand (NDED). This note offers a new hypothesis...
