Abstract: This article develops a new method to evaluate revealed preference separability conditions. In contrast to previous studies, our results generally find weak separability, even when datasets have some measurement error. In addition, revealed preference and weak separability appear robust to measurement error, different price distributions, and alternative preference settings. Measurement error generally results in relatively few violations of revealed preference or weak separability.
