Description for The Generalized Fechner-thurstone Direct
Paperback. Series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems. BIC Classification: KCA. Dimension: 210 x 148. Weight in Grams: 295.
In this book the foundations and applicability of the Generalized Fechner-Thurstone Utility Function are laid out. It is shown how by removing the constraint of fixed preferences in the neoclassical consumer theory, utility theory can be used to develop non-parametric indices along with elasticities of the marginal rates of substitutions. It is also shown that whereas the existence of a fixed preference utility function is not always guaranteed for different demand functions, there will always exist at least one Generalized Fechner-Thurstone Direct Utility Function. Furthermore, analysis using the Fechner-Thurstone Direct Utility Function is clear and simple and does not rely ... Read more
