✦ Synopsis

Demand functions with ''additive'' and ''multiplicative'' uncertainty can fail to satisfy the ''Slutsky symmetry'' conditions required for demand to be based on utility maximization. This makes welfare analysis infeasible, which is important in many applications. Additive uncertainty can also generate negative demand realizations, and this can create non-trivial analytical problems.
