曼昆经济学原理答案30—34

第十二篇短期经济波动 第三十一章总需求与总供给 复习题 1.写出当经济进入衰退时下降的两个宏观经济变量的名字。写出当经济进入衰退时上升的一个宏观经济变量的名字。 答:当经济进入衰退时,实际GDP和投资支出下降,失业率上升。 2.画出一个有总需求、短期总供给和长期 总供给的曲线的图。仔细地标出正确的轴。 答: 图31—1 经济的长期均衡 3.列出并解释总需求曲线向右下方倾斜的 三个原因。 答:为了理解总需求曲线向右下 方倾斜的原因,我们必须考察物价水平如何影响消费、投资和净出口的物品与劳务需求量。 (1)庇古的财富效应

物价水平下降使消费者感到更富裕,这又鼓励他们更多地支出,消费支出增加意味着物品与劳务的需求量更大。 (2)凯恩斯的利率效应 较低的物价水平降低了利率,鼓励了家庭和企业更多地支出于投资物品,从而增加了物品与劳务的需求量。 (3)蒙代尔——弗莱明汇率效应 当美国物价水平下降引起美国利率下降时,实际汇率贬值,而且这种贬值刺激了美国的净出口,从而增加了国外对美国物品与劳务的需求量。 由于这三个原因,总需求曲线向右下方倾斜。 4.解释为什么长期总供给曲线是垂线。 答:在长期中,一个经济的物品与劳务的供给取决于它资本与劳动的供给,以及用来把资本与劳动变为物品与劳务的生产技术。由于物价水平并不影响这些实际GDP的长期决定因素,所以长期总供给曲线是一条垂线,即经济的资本、劳动和技术决定了物品与劳务供给量,而且,无论物价水平如何变动,供给量都是相同的。

5.列出并解释为什么短期总供给曲线向右上方倾斜的三种理论。 答:在短期中,总供给曲线向右上方倾斜,也就是说,在一个一两年的时期中,经济中物价总水平的上升增加了物品与劳务的供给量,而物价水平下降倾向于减少物品与劳务供给量。什么因素引起物价水平与产量之间的正相关关系呢?宏观经济学家提出了三种理论说明短期总供给曲线的向右上方倾斜。在每一种理论中,一种特殊的市场不完全性引起经济中供给一方的短期状况与长期不同。虽然每一种理论在细节上不同,但它们具有共同的内容:当物价水平背离了人们预期的物价水平时,供给量就背离了其长期水平或“自然水平”。当物价水平高于预期水平时,产量就高于其自然率。当物价水平低于预期水平时,产量就低于其自然率。 (1)新古典的错觉理论 根据这种理论,物价总水平的变动会暂时误导供给者对他们出售其产品的市场发生的变动的看法。由于这些短期的错觉,供给者对物价水平的变动作出了反应,而这种反应引起了向右上方倾斜的总供给曲线。假设物价总水平降到低于

经济学原理I (2010年秋季学期) 期中考试1(A 卷答案) (2010/11/3) 注意:请将所有题目的答案写在答题册上,写在本试题纸上一律无效。 一、判断题(判断并简要说明理由,必要时可以用图形。每题4分,共20分) 1. 假设你捡到了20美元,并选择用它购买一本小说。则你购买这本小说的机会成本是零。 错误。你购买小说的机会成本是用这20美元购买其他物品或服务带给你的好处(可能大于或等于20美元。(注:答20美元也算对) 2. 电脑行业的技术进步只能使得经济中的电脑产量增加,而经济中其它产品的数量不会增 加。 错误。电脑行业的技术进步使得整个社会的生产可能性边界外移(如图)。一般来说,这会使得社会可以生产的其他产品的数量也增加(如图中A 到A’点)。直观来说,由于技术进步,当社会在既定的生产要素配置下可以生产更多电脑和同样多的其他产品时(图中B 点),通过生产要素重新配置也可以同时生产更多的两种产品(图中B 到A’点)。 3. An increase in the demand for notebooks raises the quantity of notebooks demanded but not the quantity supplied. False. The increase in demand for notebooks results in an increased quantity supplied, in general. The reason is that demand increase will raise the price (to eliminate the shortage it causes), which in turn increases the quantity supplied. The only way the statement would be true is if the supply is perfectly inelastic. 4. If more Americans go on a low-carb diet, the demand for bread will fall. The decrease in the demand for bread will cause the price of bread to fall. The lower price, however, will then increase the demand. In the new equilibrium, Americans might end up consuming more bread than they did initially. (DO use a diagram to illustrate your explanations) False. When the demand falls, there will be a surplus of bread for a while (FE 1 in the graph), when the original equilibrium price P 1 has not fallen yet. As time goes on, price begins to fall, quantity 电脑 其他产品

向不受限制。从机会成本的角度来考察生产过程时,厂商需要将生产要素投向收益最大的项目,而避免带来生产的浪费,达到资源配置的最优。机会成本的概念是以资源的稀缺性为前提提出的。从经济资源的稀缺性这一前提出发,当一个社会或一个企业用一定的经济资源生产一定数量的一种或者几种产品时,这些经济资源就不能同时被使用在其他的生产用途方面。这就是说,这个社会或这个企业所能获得的一定数量的产品收入,是以放弃用同样的经济资源来生产其他产品时所能获得的收入作为代价的。这也是机会成本产生的缘由。因此,社会生产某种产品的真正成本就是它不能生产另一些产品的代价。所以,机会成本的含义是:任何生产资源或生产要素一般都有多种不同的使用途径或机会,也就是说可以用于多种产品的生产。但是当一定量的某种资源用于生产甲种产品时,就不能同时用于生产乙种产品。因此生产甲种产品的真正成本就是不生产乙种产品的代价,或者是等于该种资源投放于乙种产品生产上可能获得的最大报酬。一种资源决定用于甲种产品,就牺牲了生产其他产品的机会;从事生产甲种产品的收入,是由于不从事或放弃其他产品生产的机会而产生的。 2.科斯定理:指一种产权理论。科斯本人并未将科斯定理写成文字,科斯定理的提出是由其好友斯蒂格勒首先根据科斯于20世纪60年代发表的《社会成本问题》这篇论文的内容概括出来的。其内容是:只要财产权是明确的,并且其交易成本为0或者很小,则无论在开始时财产权的配置是怎么样的,市场均衡的最终结果都是有效率的。科斯定理进一步扩大了“看不见的手”的作用。按照这个定理,只要那些假设条件成立,则外部影响就不可能导致资源配置不当。或者以另一角度来说,在所给条件下,市场力量足够强大,总能够使外部影响以最经济的办法来解决,从而仍然可以实现帕累托最优状态。西方学者认为,明确的财产权及其转让可以使得私人成本(或利益)与社会成本(或利益)趋于一致。以污染问题为例,科斯定理意味着,一旦所需条件均被满足,则污染者的私人边际成本曲线就会趋于上升,直到与边际社会成本曲线完全重合,从而污染者的利润最大化产量将下降至社会最优产量水平。 科斯定理解决外部影响问题在实际中并不—定真的有效。资产的财产权不一定总是能够明确地加以规定;已经明确的财产权不一定总是能够转让;分派产权会影响收入分配,而收入分配的变动可以造成社会不公平,引起社会动乱。在社会动乱的情况下,就谈不上解决外部效果的问题了。 3.搭便车:指不付成本或支付很低的成本而消费公共产品的行为。公共产品的特点决定了私人厂商不愿自动提供这种产品。这是因为在公用产品消费中存在“搭便车”问题,即每个人都想不付任何成本,或只支付很低的代价,来享受公共产品的服务。由于公共物品具有消费的非竞争性和受益的非排他性,人们可以在不付费的情况下享受公共物品所带来的效益。因此公共产品覆盖的消费者人数越多,搭便车问题就越严重,公共产品由私人厂商提供出来的可能性就越小。例如:1970年美国通用汽车公司研制出了一种汽车污染物排放控制装置,每个售价20美金,如果每个车尾都装上这一装置,可使汽车排放的污染下降30%至50%。然而,污染的降低是一种公共产品,每个人呼吸空气质量是否改善并不取决于自己的车上是否装上这个新发明,而是取决于该地区大多数车主的选择,于是大多数人都不想多花20美元而只是试图搭便车,结果,在私人市场上,这种公共产品的产量总难以达到最佳水平。私人不能提供公共产品,就只能由政府出面担当此项职能。事实上,私人经济中的政府,最初就是为了提供公共产品(法律、国防、公安等等)的目的由众多私人共同建立起来的。政府这一职能具体体现为:①尽可能正确地估价社会对公用产品的实际需求;②按照社会福利最大化的原则确定税收比率,并用税收收入购置公用产品,为公众提供服务。 4.囚徒困境:指两个被捕获的囚犯之间的一种特殊“博弈”,说明为什么甚至在合作对双方有利时,保持合作也是困难的。囚犯两难处境的故事包含着一个一般性的结论,这个结论适用于任何一个力图维持其成员合作的集团。这是博弈论中的一个经典例证,同一市场上的寡头在力图达到垄断结果时的博弈类似于两个处于两难处境的囚犯的博弈。具体情况如下:两囚徒被指控是一桩罪案的同案犯。他们被分关在不同的牢房且无法互通信息。各囚徒都被要求坦白罪行。如果两囚徒都坦白,各将被判入狱5年;如果两人都不坦白,则很难对他们提起刑事诉讼,因而两囚徒可以期望被从轻发落为入狱2年;另一方面,如果一个囚徒坦白而另一个囚徒不坦白,坦白的囚徒就只需入狱1年,而另一个将被判入狱10年。那么囚徒将会怎么选择呢?下表归纳了各种可能的结果。(其中“得益”是负的,表格右下角单元格意思是两个囚徒各2年徒刑)。该表说明,这两个囚徒面临着一种困境。如果他们都不坦白(以一种会遵守的方法),那么两人只需入狱仅仅2年。但他们不能相互讲话,如果囚徒A不坦白,他就冒着被B利用的危险。因为不管囚徒A怎么选择,囚徒B坦白总是最优方案。

经济学原理I(05秋季期中1)

经济学原理(Ⅰ)期中考试一 注意:请全部用中文回答(留学生可用英文)。试卷的答案必须写在答题册上才有效,请记住在答题册上写下姓名和学号。 一、判断题(判断并必须说明理由,可以用文字或图形。每题5分,共40分) 1.某城市幼儿园的规定是每天下午4点钟家长必须将孩子接走,可是每周都有那么几个家长迟到(孩子在等待父母的过程中会较烦躁,幼儿园也不得不留下一个老师专门看护。)。因此,有人向校长建议对迟到的家长每次罚款10元。如果校长采用该建议,那么迟到的家长数肯定减少。 错误。在没有罚款之前,家长们迟到实际上是免费的,但是很多家长没有迟到,这说明迟到会引起一种心理成本(内疚感)。一旦有了罚款,家长们迟到的成本变为10元钱,但是心理成本消失,其净效果很可能是激励更多的家长迟到。 2.众所周知,汽车超速对于公路安全带来危害,并且超速越严重危害越大。某城市现行的法律是每超速10公里就增加罚款2千元。有代表指出这种交通立法对于超速行为过于宽松,建议只要发现超速行为,不管超速多少即罚款1万元。该代表的建议能够降低超速带来的危害性。 错误。理性的人考虑边际量。采用该建议后,驾驶者只要交足1万元就可以随意超速,即超速的边际成本等于0,面临这样的激励,超速的程度将很严重,危害也就越大。 3、出版社的张编辑是某著名经济学教科书的销售负责人,他认为,由于允许学生将旧的教科书再次出售,损害了出版社的利益。某著名化学家对此建议,出版社可以使用一种他本人发明的印刷墨水,当教科书使用半年后,这种墨水自动褪色,使得书页变成空白。如果张编辑接受这一建议,其结果是必然导致新书价格上升和出版社盈利增加。 错误。这里的分析虽然看到了旧教科书和新教科书为替代品,随着旧教科书的供给下降(甚至消失),旧教科书价格上升,引起新教科书需求上升,需求曲线右移,价格上升,这可以增加出版社盈利。但是,必须看到问题的另一方面。对于购买新教科书的需求者来说,他原来使用教科书实际支付的价格仅是新书和旧书的差价,而现在必须支付新书的全部价格,相当于新书的市场 ..价格而言,现在的需求曲线会左移(需求下降)。两方面的影响相反,抵消后的结果使得需求曲线变化方向不确定。加上新书的印刷使用该墨水还可能提高了生产成本,是否盈利更成为问题。 4.小明的预算是每月用在手机通讯上的部分为100元,该预算长期不变。通过这个信息我们可以认为小明手机通话需求的价格弹性是单位1. 正确。需求价格弹性与总收益或总支出的关系:如果是单位弹性,则价格的变动不会带来总收益或总支出的变化。反之命题也为真。 5、In a competitive market, an increase in the demand for notebooks raises the quantity of notebooks demanded, but not the quantity supplied. 错误。练习本的需求提高了练习本的均衡价格和均衡数量。均衡数量同时代表者需求和供给的数量,所以供给量也增加了。这一说法混淆了供给变动和供给量变动两个术语。实际上,随着需求增加,开始会出现短缺现象,推动价格上升,从而刺激供给量增加(和需求量下降),最终回到供求平衡。 6、“非典”期间,口罩的价格上升了,购买的人也大大增加了。这一现象违背了需求定律,因为价格上升导致需求上升而非下降。 错误。“非典”事件是除价格以外其他因素导致的需求变动,是需求曲线的移动而不是沿着需求曲线移动。因此,这一变化不能用需求定律(沿着需求曲线移动)来解释。实际上,需求曲线右移,均衡价格和数量上升,运用比较静态分析可以得出正确结论。

曼昆经济学原理 课后答案

第一篇导言 第一章经济学十大原理 复习题 1.列举三个你在生活中面临的重要权衡取舍的例子。 答:①大学毕业后,面临着是否继续深造的选择,选择继续上学攻读研究生学位,就意味着在今后三年中放弃参加工作、赚工资和积累社会经验的机会;②在学习内容上也面临着很重要的权衡取舍,如果学习《经济学》,就要减少学习英语或其他专业课的时间;③对于不多的生活费的分配同样面临权衡取舍,要多买书,就要减少在吃饭、买衣服等其他方面的开支。 2.看一场电影的机会成本是什么? 答:看一场电影的机会成本是在看电影的时间里做其他事情所能获得的最大收益,例如:看书、打零工。 3.水是生活必需的。一杯水的边际利益是大还是小呢? 答:这要看这杯水是在什么样的情况下喝,如果这是一个人五分钟内喝下的第五杯水,那么他的边际利益很小,有可能为负;如果这是一个极度干渴的人喝下的第一杯水,那么他的边际利益将会极大。 4.为什么决策者应该考虑激励? 答:因为人们会对激励做出反应。如果政策改变了激励,它将使人们改变自己的行为,当决策者未能考虑到行为如何由于政策的原因而变化时,他们的政策往往会产生意想不到的效果。 5.为什么各国之间的贸易不像竞赛一样有赢家和输家呢? 答:因为贸易使各国可以专门从事自己最擅长的活动,并从中享有更多的各种各样的物品与劳务。通过贸易使每个国家可供消费的物质财富增加,经济状况变得更好。因此,各个贸易国之间既是竞争对手,又是经济合作伙伴。在公平的贸易中是“双赢”或者“多赢”的结果。 6.市场中的那只“看不见的手”在做什么呢? 答:市场中那只“看不见的手”就是商品价格,价格反映商品自身的价值和社会成本,市场中的企业和家庭在作出买卖决策时都要关注价格。因此,他们也会不自觉地考虑自己行为的(社会)收益和成本。从而,这只“看不见的手”指引着千百万个体决策者在大多数情况下使社会福利趋向最大化。 7.解释市场失灵的两个主要原因,并各举出一个例子。 答:市场失灵的主要原因是外部性和市场势力。 外部性是一个人的行为对旁观者福利的影响。当一个人不完全承担(或享受)他的行为所造成的成本(或收益)时,就会产生外部性。举例:如果一个人不承担他在公共场所吸烟的全部成本,他就会毫无顾忌地吸烟。在这种情况下,政府可以通过制定禁止在公共场所吸烟的规章制度来增加经济福利。 市场势力是指一个人(或一小群人)不适当地影响市场价格的能力。例如:某种商品的垄断生产者由于几乎不受市场竞争的影响,可以向消费者收取过高的垄断价格。在这种情况下,规定垄断者收取的价格有可能提高经济效率。 8.为什么生产率是重要的? 答:因为一国的生活水平取决于它生产物品与劳务的能力,而对这种能力的最重要的衡量度就是生产率。生产率越高,一国生产的物品与劳务量就越多。

2004北大经济学原理期中考试答案1

经济学原理I(2004年秋季学期) 期中考试1(B卷答案,A卷只有顺序不同) 一、判断题(判断并必须说明理由,可以用文字或图形。每题5分,共40分) 因为历史数据表明,基础教育的平均社会收益大于高等教育,所以在资金有限的情况下,应该优先增加对基础教育的投入。 错误。这里应该考虑的是给定的新增投入带来的收益的增加量,也即边际收益,而不是根据历史数据计算的平均收益。(原理3:理性人考虑边际量) 2、某大学决定将拥挤的学生澡堂扩建一倍。这一做法必定会使得澡堂的拥挤程度下降一半。错误。在学生的洗澡行为(特别是洗澡频率)不变时,澡堂扩建一倍会使得其拥挤程度下降一半。但学生会对澡堂拥挤下降的激励做出反应,增加洗澡频率,这样澡堂的拥挤程度会有所回升。(原理4:人们会对激励做出反应。) 3、Certain very talented people have a comparative advantage in everything they do. 错误。他可以在任何事情上都有绝对优势,但不会都有比较优势。 4、单个农民减少自己的产量并不能使自己受益,但农产品总量的减少可能使农民在总体上受益。 正确。在市场上,单个农民面对的是既定的市场价格,减少产量只能使自己的收益下降。但市场供给总体上的减少,由于市场需求是缺乏弹性的,可以使得价格上升,其幅度大于销售量下降的幅度。从而使得卖者的总收益上升,农民在总体上受益。 5、In a competitive market, an increase in the demand for notebooks raises the quantity of notebooks demanded, but not the quantity supplied. 错误。练习本的需求提高了练习本的均衡价格和均衡数量。均衡数量同时代表者需求和供给的数量,所以供给量也增加了。这一说法混淆了供给变动和供给量变动两个术语。实际上,随着需求增加,开始会出现短缺现象,推动价格上升,从而刺激供给量增加(和需求量下降),最终回到供求平衡。 6、“非典”期间,口罩的价格上升了,购买的人也大大增加了。这一现象违背了需求定律,因为价格上升导致需求上升而非下降。 错误。“非典”事件是除价格以外其他因素导致的需求变动,是需求曲线的移动而不是沿着需求曲线移动。因此,这一变化不能用需求定律(沿着需求曲线移动)来解释。实际上,需求曲线右移,均衡价格和数量上升,运用比较静态分析可以得出正确结论。 7、出版社的张编辑是某著名经济学教科书的销售负责人,他认为,由于允许学生将旧的教科书再次出售,损害了出版社的利益。某著名化学家对此建议,出版社可以使用一种他本人发明的印刷墨水,当教科书使用半年后,这种墨水自动褪色,使得书页变成空白。如果张编辑接受这一建议,其结果是必然导致新书价格上升和出版社盈利增加。 错误。这里的分析虽然看到了旧教科书和新教科书为替代品,随着旧教科书的供给下降(甚至消失),旧教科书价格上升,引起新教科书需求上升,需求曲线右移,价格上升,这可以增加出版社盈利。但是,必须看到问题的另一方面。对于购买新教科书的需求者来说,他原来使用教科书实际支付的价格仅是新书和旧书的差价,而现在必须支付新书的全部价格,相当于新书的市场价格而言,现在的需求曲线会左移(需求下降)。两方面的影响相反,抵消后的结果使得需求曲线变化方向不确定。加上新书的印刷使用该墨水还可能提高了生产成本,是否盈利更成为问题。 8、同需求价格弹性的情况一样,如果供给价格弹性大于1,价格上升则卖者总收益下降。 错误。供给弹性永远是大于零的,价格上升总会导致供给增加和总收益上升。
