Abstract: This paper seeks to clarify the empirical options for testing separability in nonparametric demand analysis. It is noted that the Afriat-Varian characterization of weak separability can be obtained only under the restrictive assumption of a concave utility function. An alternative nonparametric separability test is discussed under weaker assumptions.
