People often wonder why economists analyse models whose assumptions are known to be false, while economists feel that they learn a lot from such exercises.

متن کاملEuler diagrams as an introduction to set-theoretical models
Understanding the notion of a model is not always easy in logic courses. Hence, tools such as Euler diagrams are frequently applied as informal illustrations of set-theoretical models. We formally investigate Euler diagrams as an introduction to set-theoretical models. We show that the model-theoretic notions of validity and invalidity are characterized by Euler diagrams, and, in particular, th...
