中文摘要

線性體系在各領域的應用十分廣泛,譬如說經濟學中比較靜態的探討可以轉述成一個線性體系求解的問題。為保證線性體系的解為非負,文獻上通常假設該體系的係數矩陣是梅滋勒矩陣,也就是說矩陣中非對角項的係數設定為非負值。本文放鬆這個假設求得非負解的充分條件,並應用至多產品獨占廠商利潤極大化定價的探討。

英文摘要

This paper considers a well-known linear system that is in widespread use. Any comparative statics exercise that is often employed in economics can be represented by a linear system. In order to guarantee that the solution to this linear system is nonnegative, previous research assumed that the coefficient matrix in this linear system was a Metzler matrix, i.e. each off-diagonal entry of this matrix was nonnegative. In this paper we relax this assumption, and apply this mathematical technique to study the profit-maximization pricing of a multi-product monopolist.
