Revealed Preferences over Risk and Uncertainty (with John K.-H. Quah and Ludovic Renou), American Economic Review, 2020. Develops and implements a nonparametric method called Generalized Restriction of Infinite Domains (GRID), for testing the consistency of contingent consumption data with a broad class of models of choice under risk and under uncertainty (doi: 10.1257/aer.20180210). Working Papers: St Andrews 2019, QMUL 2017, IFS 2015, Oxford 2015, Leicester 2013. Slides: GRID Method.
A Lattice Test for Additive Separability, 2018. Establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite data set of price and demand observations to be consistent with an additively separable preference, with an empirical application to panel data on food purchases. Working Papers: IFS 2018, St Andrews 2018. Slides: Additive Separability.
