Testing for the Significance of Violations of Afriat's Inequalities (2005, methodology): “Some proofs and extensions by Diewert (1973) and Varian (1982, 1983) led to the development of procedures to empirically evaluate neoclassical utility maximization.”
Opening the Black Box of Intrahousehold Decision Making: Theory and Nonparametric Empirical Tests of General Collective Consumption Models (2009, unknown): “Building further on seminal work of, among others, Afriat (1967), Varian (1982) conceived a necessary and su¢ cient condition for observed household consumption to be consistent with the unitary model, which is captured in the well-known Generalized Axiom of Revealed Preference (GARP).”
Multivariate convex regression with adaptive partitioning (2011, background): “Economic theory dictates that demand (Varian 1982), production (Varian 1984, Allon et al. 2007) and consumer preference (Boyd & Vandenberghe 2004) functions are often concave.”
A New PC-Based Test for Varian's Weak Separability Conditions (2003, methodology): “In addition, the results show that the revealed preference test of Varian (1982) is relatively robust to a measurement error of 1 or 5%.”
Nonparametric Least Squares Estimation of a Multivariate Convex Regression Function (2010, background): “The interested reader can see Hildreth (1954), Varian (1982a) or Varian (1982b) for more information regarding the importance of concavity/convexity in economic theory.”
