Interpreting the Lagrange Multipliers
Equation (6) can be written as
(q),fe
= 2; (b),
j3D1,..., m
(6)
qe
This tells us that the Lagrange multiplier ^; = 1; (b) for the jth constraint is the rate at
which the optimal value of the objective function changes w.r.t. changes in the constant bj.
Suppose, for instance, that f* (b) is the maximum profit that a firm can obtain from a
production process when b1, . .., bm are the available quantities of m different resources.
Then af*(b)/ab; is the marginal profit that the firm can earn per extra unit of resource j,
which is therefore the firm's marginal willingness to pay for this resource. Equațion (9)
tells us that this marginal willingness to pay is equal to the Lagrange multiplier 2; for the
corresponding resource constraint whose right-hand side in (1) is b¡. If the firm could buy
more of this resource at a price below 2¡ per unit, it could earn more profit by doing so; but
if the price exceeds Aj, the firm could increase its overall profit by selling a small enough
quantity of the resource at this price because the revenue from the sale would exceed the
profit from production that is sacrificed by giving up the resource.
In economics, the number ); (b) is referred to a shadow price (or demand price) of the
resource j. It is a shadow rather than an actual price because it need not correspond to a
market price. Indeed, the resource may be something unique like a particular entrepreneur's
time for which there is not even a market that could determine its actual price.
Note that the Lagrange multipliers for problem (1) may well be negative, so that an
increase in b; can lead to a decrease in the value function.
' If db1, ..., dbm are small in absolute value, then, according to the linear approximation
formula, f*(b+db)– f*(b) × (af*(b)/ab¡) dbi+…+(af*(b)/abm) dbm and, using (9),
