@techreport{oai:shiga-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00014353, author = {Sakai, Yasuhiro}, issue = {No. E-18}, month = {Oct}, note = {Technical Report, This chapter discusses consumer decision and revealed preference from many angles, thus carefully reexamining the foundations of economic analysis. It is Paul A. Samuelson's contribution who boldly introduced to microeconomic theory the brand-new concept of revealed preference against the then current doctrine of ordinal utility. The main result of this chapter is the strong axiom of revealed preference promoted by Houthakker after Samuelson holds if and only if the weak axiom of revealed preference first introduced by Samuelson and a certain "regularity condition" newly introduced here both hold. This equivalence results distinguishes itself from previous work in that no continuity assumptions are made on the demand function. It then explores the relationship the regularity condition employed here and several other conditions used by Uzawa and van Moeseke. Finally, in the light of uncertainty and behavioral economics in the preset times, the significance and limitations of Samuelson-type economics are also discussed., Discussion Paper, Series E, No. E-18, pp. 1-24}, title = {Consumer Decisions and Revealed Preference : Reevaluating the Foundations of Samuelson's Economic Analysis}, year = {2022} }
