10.1 Market Completeness and Complex Security
Completeness: financial markets are said to be completeif, for each state of nature θ, there exists a θ, i.e., for aclaim promising delivery of one until of the consumptiongood (or, more generally, the numeraire) if state θ isrealized and nothing otherwise.Complex security: a complex security is one that pays offin more than one state of nature.

Proposition 10.1 If markets are complete, any complex securityor any cash flow stream can be replicated as aportfolio of Arrow-S
Proposition 10.2 If M=N and all the M complex securities arelinearly independent, then (i) it is possible to inferthe prices of the A-D state-contingent claims formthe complex securities’ prices and (ii) markets areeffectively complete
Linearly independent = no complex security can be replicatedas a portfolio of some of the other complex securities.

It is assumed that ST discriminates across all states ofnature so that Proposition 8.1 applies; without loss ofgenerality, we may assume that ST takes the following setof values:
S1 < S2 < ... < Sθ < ... < SN ,
where Sθ is the price of this complex security if state θ isrealized at date T. Assume also that call options are written onthis asset with all possible exercised prices, and that theseoptions are traded. Let us also assume that Sθ = Sθ−1 + δ forevery state θ.
