{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: Revealed desirability: a novel instrument for social welfare. {Author}: Barokas G; {Journal}: Theory Decis {Volume}: 0 {Issue}: 0 {Year}: Jan 2022 22 {Factor}: 0.802 {DOI}: 10.1007/s11238-021-09855-8 {Abstract}: The note puts forward the idea of revealed desirability, a novel instrument, which like revealed preference is observable from choice and important for individual and social welfare. We provide the axiomatic underlying individual's choice model, preliminary experimental results that support the idea, and an appealing allocation rule that uses the revealed desirability information along with the revealed-preference information.
