Abstract
The paper describes the essence of crisis state of the neoclassical theory of consumer demand and a way to overcome the crisis based on the concept of statistical «assembly» of consumers as an origin of the theory of aggregate market demand. Market demand is modeled via utility maximization problem elaborated in frame of the neoclassical paradigm for an individual consumer. The nonparametric demand analysis is used for testing the adequacy of such a model to the trade statistics. Analytical index numbers of consumers' demand and their variants, invariant and quasi-invariant indices, are presented. The use of nonparametric demand analysis is based on real trade statistics of food products in the Russian Federation, and the quasi-invariant indices are constructed.
