Abstract: | This paper shows that the conclusions of a paper published in the Journal of Consumer Affairs on consumer preferences among allocation schemes were not valid deductions. It is argued that an adaptation of index numbers of quantity can be used to deduce preferences and an illustrative case is presented for various plans to allocate gasoline. |
