Abstract
The essentially nonnegative character of many economic variables combines with the traditional assumption of constant returns to give many of the models in economics the structure of a system of linear inequalities. The present chapter is devoted to some of the properties of such systems. For a sampling of the models the reader may turn to Chipman [1965–1966], Dorfman, Samuelson and Solow [1958], Gale [1960], Koopmans [1957], McKenzie [1960], Morishima [1964], and Nikaido [1968].
