A remark on Clarke's normal cone and the marginal cost pricing rule

This paper constructs a closed set Y in Rl such that for all y in the boundary of Y, Clarke's normal cone to Y at y is equal to Rl+. If Y is the production set of a firm, then the marginal cost pricing rule imposes no restriction. The existence of Y is shown to be equivalent to the existence of a Lipschitzian function f from Rl−1 to R such that the generalized gradient of f is everywhere equal to the convex hull of 0 and the simplex of Rl−1.
