Our main result considers whether there are convex pref erences for which some candidate allocation is Pareto optimal. We show tha t this candidate allocation is possibly efficient if and only if it is eff icient for the incomplete relation derived from the revealed preference re lations and convexity. Similar ideas are used to address related questions : when the Kaldor criterion may be used to make welfare comparisons\, what prices can be Walrasian equilibrium prices\, and the possibility of a rep resentative consumer when the income distribution is endogenous.\n\n \n DTSTART:20220422T193000Z DTEND:20220422T210000Z SUMMARY:Federico Echenique (CalTech)\, 'Empirical Welfare Economics' URL:/economics/channels/event/federico-echenique-calte ch-empirical-welfare-economics-337453 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
