Abstract

L'article rapporte la loi microéconomique de la demande aux thèses sur la confirmation empirique développées, respectivement, par Hempel et par Popper. Après avoir rappelé les bases hicksiennes de la théorie du consommateur et souligné que la loi n'y avait jamais fait l'objet d'un test rigoureux, il analyse la contribution novatrice d'Hildenbrand. Dans Market Demand (1994), celui-ci propose une dérivation logico-mathématique originale de la loi de la demande au marché, qui vise à rendre enfin possible un test de cette loi. L'article montre que la démarche d'Hildenbrand s'inscrit dans une perspective qui est néo-hempélienne, et non pas poppérienne, et il tire argument de cette étude même en faveur de la première contre la seconde.
