This book is about the specification of linear econometric models, and for this reason some important related fields have been deliberately omitted. A realistic formulation of the problem should involve non linearities in an essential way, the models I consider (and most existing models) are linear.

This is a textbook devoted to mathematical programming algorithms and the mathematics needed to understand such algorithms. It is a textbook as well a~ in parts, a contribution to new knowledge. Part II is mainly devoted to linear programming. viii INTRODUCTION Parts III and IV are concerned with nonlinear programming.

Three different lines of approach have contributed to the theory of optimal planning. One approach considers the problem from the view-point of a national government and its adviser, the econometrician planning speci alist. A later, well-developed example of a model based on this approach is, for example, the Czech model by Cerny et al.
