Problem 10E
As the Leontief production equation is , which is also written as
Now if has all entries positive , then since d is the final demand vector so it has positive entries. So by matrix multiplication increase if d any entry in d is increased, that is increases.
Hence if the demand in any sector increases, then the production in every sector will also increase.
