We believe that the notion of a model used here corresponds to the one in use among economists. Logicians however use the term in a somewhat different sense. See Suppes (1961).
However, it is also assumed that results from other disciplines are valid, particularly the rules of logical inference and the applied mathematical procedures. (See Tarski, p. 119).
