Arrow's Economic Innovations Transform Theory into Mathematical Science
Kenneth Arrow revolutionized economics by using math to make economic theories more precise. He created the Arrow Possibility Theorem, which led to social choice theory. Arrow also showed how Pareto efficiency connects to economic balance, even with complex situations. With Gerard Debreu, he developed a model for economic equilibrium, including how prices can clear markets. Arrow's work laid the foundation for modern finance theory, especially in dealing with uncertainty.
