Our main result considers whether there are convex p references for which some candidate allocation is Pareto optimal. We show that this candidate allocation is possibly efficient if and only if it is efficient for the incomplete relation derived from the revealed preference relations and convexity. Similar ideas are used to address related questi ons: when the Kaldor criterion may be used to make welfare comparisons\, w hat prices can be Walrasian equilibrium prices\, and the possibility of a representative consumer when the income distribution is endogenous.\n\n \n DTSTART:20220422T193000Z DTEND:20220422T210000Z SUMMARY:Federico Echenique (CalTech)\, 'Empirical Welfare Economics' URL:/economics/channels/event/federico-echenique-calte ch-empirical-welfare-economics-337453 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
