On the Characterization of Efficient Production Vectors

Résumé

In this paper we study the efficient points of a closed production set with free disposal. We first provide a condition on the boundary of the production set, which is equivalent to the fact that all boundary points are efficient. When the production set is convex, we also give an alternative characterization of efficiency around a given production vector in terms of the profit maximization rule. In the non-convex case, this condition expressed with the marginal pricing rule is sufficient for efficiency. Then we study the Luenberger's shortage function. We first provide basic properties on it. Then, we prove that the above necessary condition at a production vector implies that the shortage function is locally Lipschitz continuous and the efficient points in a neighborhood are the zeros of it and conversely.
