consumer preference

consumer preference The way in which consumers in a free market choose to divide their total expenditure in purchasing goods and services. Using a limited number of assumptions, an individual’s preferences can be built up into a utility function (seeconsumer theory). Applying price theory to the utility functions of individuals enables a model to be constructed of the behaviour of markets in an economy.
