REVEALED PREFERENCE--A PROOF OF HOUTHAKKER'S THEOREM.

The article provides a proof of one version of Houthakker's classic theorem on revealed preference theory. The theorem asserts that if a consumer's demand functions satisfy the Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference and certain continuity conditions. It demonstrates two sequences of offer curves which...

      ab: The article provides a proof of one version of Houthakker's classic theorem on revealed preference theory. The theorem asserts that if a consumer's demand functions satisfy the Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference and certain continuity conditions. It demonstrates two sequences of offer curves which possess subsequences which converge to a function that satisfies the right differential equation. The preference theory is demonstrated by the selection of available commodity vectors as if he were maximizing a continuous, strictly quasi-concave utility function subject to a budget constraint.
