Standard utility functions represent ordinal preferences. The expected utility hypothesis imposes limitations on the utility function and makes utility cardinal...

In this sense, preference is not revealed at all in the sense of ordinal utility. The revealed preference theory assumes that the preference scale remains...

Further, efficiency dispenses with cardinal measures of utility, replacing it with ordinal utility, which merely ranks commodity bundles (with an indifference-curve...
