Bert M. Balk of the Rotterdam School of Management at Erasmus University reviews “The Index Number Problem: Construction Theorems”, by Sydney Afriat. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: “Presents a solution to the index number problem. Discusses the new formula; the power algorithm; combinatorics; consistency; and illustration. Includes a section on construction theorems that discusses the system of inequalities ars > xs − xr; the principles of choice and preference; utility construction revisited; the construction of separable utility functions from expenditure data; the connection between demand and utility; and revealed preference revealed.”

Separable Utility

In Christian Weber's opinion in the preceding article in this journal, although Vilfredo Pareto never wrote his utility function in the Cobb-Douglas form U = rβbrγc, he did present an early, if incomplete, discussion of a Cobb-Douglas utility function. Weber's sections II and III try to document his opinion.Weber's section II examines Pareto's “Considerazioni” (1892) on the assumption that the marginal utility πi, of good i depends only on the level ri, of consumption of that good. Section III examines Pareto's Manual (1909) on the assumption of “additive separable” utility functions.
