Some Mathematical Issues on Linear Joint Production Models

Abstract

We give a survey of some mathematical issues concerning linear joint production models, usually described by a pair of nonnegative matrices (A,B), not necessarily square. The celebrated von Neumann growth model is not included in the present paper. In the last section we review some approaches to the generalization of the Perron-Frobenius problem for a pair (A,B), i. e. the problem Ax = λBx.
