摘要
This paper investigates the testable implications of Pareto efficiency and individual rationality on finite data sets in exchange economies with finitely many commodities and agents. Efficiency alone provides no restrictions other than a trivial "no waste"-condition. Efficiency together with individual rationality implies robust restrictions.
