Arrow-Debreu Equilibrium/Evidence
Method evidence record

Arrow-Debreu Equilibrium

The Arrow-Debreu model is a general equilibrium framework where prices adjust to clear all markets simultaneously, and consumers and firms optimize given those prices. Introduced by Kenneth Arrow and Gerard Debreu in 1954, the model extends Adam Smith's invisible hand concept into a rigorous mathematical framework. Arrow-Debreu equilibrium proves existence, uniqueness (under certain conditions), and Pareto efficiency of competitive equilibria.
