Revealed Preference Data

Revealed Preference Data refers to the information economists gather by observing people's actual choices and behaviors, rather than relying on what they say they will do. For example, by analyzing purchasing patterns or spending habits, economists can infer what preferences and values people have. This data helps understand consumer behavior, preferences, and priorities based on real-world actions rather than self-reported opinions, providing a more accurate picture of decision-making in everyday life.
