摘要：

An experimental test of the consistency of preferences for altruism was performed and reported. The axioms of revealed preference were applied to the altruistic actions of subjects. The adherence of the subjects to axioms like generalized axiom of revealed preferences (GARP) showed that a continuous, convex and monotonic utility function could generate their choices. An economic model was found to be sufficient to understand the data.
