The Viner-Wong Envelope Theorem.
Silberberg, Eugene
Journal of Economic Education, v30 n1 p75-79 Win 1999
Observes that the envelope theorem, a fundamental tool in duality analysis, is still a puzzle to many people. Argues that the essence of a solution proposed by Paul Samuelson (1947) is also unclear to many people, but can be communicated with a simple cost diagram. Presents and explains the proposed diagram.
