2. Show that Σ ⊆ Prop(A) is consistent and complete iff there is exactly one truth assignment that satisfifies Σ.

Expert Solution

we say that Σ denotes a set of propositions, that is, Σ ⊆ Prop(A)

If Σ is consistent and Σ ` p, then Σ ∪ {p} is consistent

Proof. Assume the second form of Completeness holds, and that Σ |= p. We want to show that then Σ ` p. From Σ |= p it follows that Σ ∪ {¬p} has no model. Hence by the second form of Completeness, the set Σ ∪ {¬p} is inconsistent.

We say that Σ is complete if Σ is consistent, and for each p either Σ ` p or Σ ` ¬p. Completeness as a property of a set of propositions should not be confused with the completeness of our proof system as expressed by the Completeness Theorem. (It is just a historical accident that we use the same word.) Below we use Zorn’s Lemma to show that any consistent set of propositions can be extended to a complete set of propositions.

=Suppose Σ is consistent. Then Σ ⊆ Σ' for some complete Σ' ⊆ Prop(A)

Show a complete graph for both of these shocks. You will need two graphs only, one for each shock. The graphs have to show: -The new short run equilibrium immediately after the shock occurs. -The new long run equilibrium. -The transition to the long run equilibrium. Properly label your axes and the curves in your graphs, and use arrows to show shifts of curves and the change in the price level and output. The two shocks are: The stock market...
