Abstract

The more for-less paradox of the distribution model is observed in general linear programming. The situation which exhibits the paradox is characterized. The relation of the solution which resolves the paradox to degeneracy is given. Relation of this analysis to the usual post optimality parametric analysis is given. Economic interpretation of the paradox in this case is illustrated.
