The purpose of this proposal is to develop methods that use                     observations about consumer demands to infer properties of consumer             preferences.  These new methods will require fewer restrictions on the          structure of consumer preferences and their utility representations             than previous studies have imposed.  This research is important because         the use of these new approaches will allow researchers to avoid                 assumptions beyond those directly implied by economic theory and,               consequently, to avoid errors that result when models entail possible           misspecifications.  The project will consider consumers' choices from           finite sets of alternatives.  For example, from observations on                 consumer's choices among various means of transportation, it will be            possible to study and infer the utility they attach to various                  attributes, such as time and cost, of alternative means of                      transportation.  In contrast to previous studies, the utility functions         and their distribution in the consumer population need to satisfy only          weak conditions.
