Nonparametric Test of the Expected Utility Hypothesis [PDF]

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1992
AbstractA nonparametric test of the expected utility hypothesis is developed in this paper. The expected utility hypothesis is shown to hold if there exists a feasible solution to a particular system of linear inequalities. Furthermore, when a feasible solution exists, boundaries on the coefficient of absolute risk aversion can be calculated explicitly.
