What kind of preference maximization does the weak axiom of revealed preference characterize?

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A (multivalued) choice is justified if no two chosen alternatives are preferred to each other, and if all chosen alternatives are preferred to all rejected alternatives. This concept permits a connection between the behavioral property expressed by WARP and a weak form of preference maximization.
