    This paper extends the non-parametric approach to consumer demand analysis to the case of expected utility maximization. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a set of price-quantity pairs to be consistent with expected utility maximization, and investigate their relationship to revealed preference conditions. Extensions to incomplete markets and intertemporal resolution of uncertainty are also considered.
