Demand-side analyses that assume a proximate-consumption structure lose descriptive accuracy where the computative primitive holds, because most transactions occur among agents; welfare analysis in those domains must therefore be conducted at the terminal rather than the proximate level.

The analytical consequence is that demand-side analyses that assume proximate-consumption structure lose descriptive accuracy in domains where the computative primitive holds. Welfare analysis in such domains must work at the terminal rather than proximate level.
