Abstract: We give an overview of the various characterizations of irreducibility, reducibility and primitivity for nonnegative square matrices. Some comments are made for the so-called "Gantmacher normal form" and for a turnpike theorem, due to Achmanov (1984). In addition, we discuss a proposal of Manara (1968) for the reducibility of a Sraffa model with joint production.
