- Topics: Formal Proof of Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem.
- NOTE: This is for advanced students. Murphy will sketch out an actual proof (a clever and compact one devised by Amartya Sen) of Arrow’s Theorem, partly as an excellent illustration of formal economic models. (The proof won’t require any background knowledge but it does require the ability to follow a formal chain of symbolic reasoning.)
