The Expected Utility Hypothesis and Demand-Supply Restrictions

Rulon D. Pope

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1978, vol. 60, issue 4, 619-627

Abstract: The implications of expected utility theory are examined in order to determine restrictions relevant to reduced form econometric models. In general, Hicksian certainty restrictions do not hold under risk aversion. However, under output price uncertainty, the qualitative nature of the Hicksian restrictions are generally preserved for a commonly used class of polynomial utility functions. These and additional restrictions are considered in the context of a linear model amenable to econometric analysis.
