SHORT ANSWER
1. GDP is defined as the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period
of time. In spite of this definition, some production is left out of GDP. Explain why some final goods and services are not included.
ANS:
GDP excludes some products because they are so difficult to measure. These products include services performed by individuals for themselves and their families, and most goods that are produced and consumed at home and, therefore, never enter the marketplace. In addition, illegal products are not included in GDP even if they can be measured because, by society's definition, they are bads, not goods.

2. Explain why it is the case that the value of intermediate goods produced and sold during the year is not
included directly as part of GDP, but the value of intermediate goods produced and not sold is included
directly as part of GDP.
ANS:
Intermediate goods produced and sold during the year are not included separately as part of GDP because the value of those goods is included in the value of the final goods produced from them. If the intermediate good is produced but not sold during the year, its value is included as inventory investment for the year in which it was produced. If inventory investment was not included as part of GDP, true production would be underestimated for the year the intermediate good went into inventory, and overestimated for the year the intermediate good is used or sold.

3. Since it is counted as investment, why doesn't the purchase of earthmoving equipment from China by a U.S.
corporation increase U.S. GDP?
ANS:
The purchase of foreign equipment is counted as investment, but GDP measures only the value of production within the geographic borders of the United States. In order to avoid including the value of the imported equipment, imports are subtracted from GDP. Hence, the value of the equipment in investment is canceled by subtracting its value as an import.

5. Between 1929 and 1933, NNP measured in current prices fell from $96 billion to $48 billion. Over the same
period, the relevant price index fell from 100 to 75.
a.What was the percentage decline in nominal NNP from 1929 to1933?
b.What was the percentage decline in real NNP from 1929 to 1933? Show your work.
ANS:
a.NNP measured in current prices is nominal NNP. Nominal NNP fell from $96 billion to $48 billion, a
decline of 50 percent.
b.Real NNP is nominal NNP divided by the price index and multiplied by 100. Real NNP in 1929 was
($96 b/100) 100 = $96 b. Real NNP in 1933 was ($48 b/75) 100 = $64 b. Real NNP fell from

6. You find that your paycheck for the year is higher this year than last. Does that mean that your real income
has increased? Explain carefully.
ANS:
Real income is nominal income adjusted for general increase in prices. If my paycheck is higher this year than last, my nominal income has increased. Whether my real income has increased or not depends on what has happened since last year to the level of prices of things I buy with my income. If the percentage increase in prices is less than the percentage increase in my nominal income, then my real income has increased. Otherwise, my real income has not increased.

Chapter 23 /Measuring a Nation's Income 1565 7. U.S. real GDP is substantially higher today than it was 60 years ago. What does this tell us, and what does it
not tell us, about the well-being of U.S. residents?
ANS:
Since this is in real terms, it tells us that the U.S. is able to make a lot more stuff than in the past. Some of the increase in real GDP is probably due to an increase in population, so we could say more if we knew what had happened to real GDP per person. Supposing that there was also an increase in real GDP per person, we can say that the standard of living has risen. Material things are an important part of well-being. Having sufficient amounts of things such as food, shelter, and clothing are fundamental to well-being. Other things such as security, a safe environment, access to safe water, access to medical care, justice, and freedom also matter. However, many of these things are more easily obtained by being able to produce more using fewer resources. Countries with higher real GDP per person tend to have longer life spans, less discrimination towards women, less child labor, and a higher rate of literacy.

政治学原理 一、简述题（每题10分，共50分） 1.说明政治哲学和政治科学的主要区别 答：1）政治哲学研究主要运用先验的哲学思辩的方法，论证某些政治价值是值得追求的，并以这些价值为标准，对显示政治作出评价，并试图探求理想的政治生活方案。它以人类追求的政治价值为研究对象，以揭示政治的价值基础和根本原则。 2）政治科学研究主要运用经验的，科学的和实证的方法，对政治生活进行量化分析。 2.什么是政治参与？列举现代政治参与的主要方式 答：政治参与是普通公民通过各种合法方式参加政治生活，并影响政治体系的构成、运行方式、运行规则和政策过程的行为。 政治参与常见的方式有：1、政治投票。2、政治选举。3、政治结社。4、政治表达。5、政治接触之。6、政治冷漠。 3.说明理想主义与现实主义政治观的差异 答：理想主义与现实主义是两种不同的政治思维模式。 1、对人性的看法 理想主义：人性本善，至少可以通过修养达到善 现实主义：人性本恶，人有权欲，本性难改 2、对国家关系的看法 理想主义：国家间的利益能够调和，主张在道义和民主基础上建立公正的国际关系 现实主义：强调世界的竞争性，各国利益不可调和，国际关系只能以权力与利益为轴心 3、对国际法和国际组织的作用的看法 理想主义：极为看重国际法和国际组织，视之为维护国际秩序的唯一有效工具 现实主义：离开权力均势，国际组织就名存实亡 4、对社会和世界的看法 理想主义：强调研究社会和世界“应该如何”，对世界报以盲目乐观态度 现实主义：信奉实证原则，强调人类应当面对争斗的现实，不可陷入和谐的空想 5、对未来的看法 理想主义：认为未来的目标是实现普遍裁军和建立民主的世界政府 现实主义：未来受到人的利己主义的支配，实现世界和平的目标路途坎坷 理想主义重要特点之一是从道德和价值判断的角度看待一切。反映在世界政治中，理想主义从道德价值和合法规则的角度出发，探讨国际政治的行为标准，在对世界事务做出道德评价的基础上，致力研究国际政治体系中各国应当如何行动的问题。它以人类必将走向大同，世界必将走向和平的信念为前提，强调全球利益和国际合作。由于它对世界政治的看法并非建立在现实经验的分析之上，所以，也将被现实主义视为空想主义理论。 现实主义是最古老的国际政治理论，强调全力政治和国家利益。它将其全部理论建立在这样的假设之上：国家是国际和世界舞台上的主角，是一个拥有主权的自治实体。而且，民族主义的兴起和现代国家的产生，更使国家变成了一个统一的政治共同体，享有至高无上的权威。 4.简要概括政治社会化的含义 政治社会化就是社会成员在政治实践活动中逐步获取政治知识和能力，形成整治意识和立场的过程。它是社会成员与政治体系之间相互联系、相互影响的互动过程，是社会意识继承与创新的统一，是一个持续不断的过程。 5.概括说明政党的主要功能 答： 1、凝聚阶级的利益要求和政治意识。2、集合和发展阶级政治力量。3、影响和领导社会政治生活。4、培养本阶级的政治骨干分子。 5、影响国际政治和国际事务。 6.什么是联邦制？说明联邦制的主要特点 答：联邦制国家又称为联盟国家，一般由两个以上的政治实体结合组成。联邦制国家的特点在于： （1）国家具有最高立法、行政和司法机关，行使国家最高政治权力。 （2）国家有统一的宪法和基本法律，但是，在国家统一宪法和基本法律范围内，各联邦组成单位又有自己的宪法和法律； （3）国民既有联邦国籍，又有组成联邦单位的国籍； （4）在对外关系方面，联邦是国际政治中的主权国家，中央政府拥有外交权。 7.简要说明政治文化对于政治体系的作用 答：政治文化对既有政治体系起着维护和延续的作用,同时,政治文化的变化最终又可能带来现实政治制度和政治生活的变迁。政治文化作为政治体系的“软件”部分，一般与政治制度性结构安排相匹配。跨国性比较研究和现代化研究显示，传统社会与现代社会的差异不仅体现在制度安排方面，而且也体现在政治文化方面；民主政治制度的良好运转，需要以民主的政治文化为条件。 8.什么是政党制度？举例说明目前世界上存在的主要政党制度类型 答：政党制度是指由国家法律规定或在实际政治生活中形成的关于政党的社会政治地位、作用，执掌政权或参与政治的方式、方法、程序的制度性规定。 类型：1、资本主义国家政党制度：（1）两党制。（2）多党制（3）一党制。 2、社会主义国家政党制度：（1）无产阶级政党领导制。（2）无产阶级政党领导的多党合作制。
. . . . 《管理学原理》总复习与综合复习 一、基本概念 1、管理 是在特定的环境下，对组织所拥有的资源进行有效的计划、组织、领导和控制，以便 达到既定的组织目标的过程。 2、决策 是管理的基本要素。计划、组织、领导和控制都是管理的职能，而每项职能都要求做 出迅速且明确的决定，这些都是决策问题。 广义定义：人们为了实现目标，根据客观条件，通过调查和研究，在掌握大 量有关信息和经验的基础上，借助一定的方法和手段，从众多方案中选择一个最满意或合 理的方案并付诸实施的过程。 狭义的决策：为达到某个目标，从众多方案中选定一个满意方案的行为，也就是通常 所说的“决定” 、“拍板”、或“决断”。 3、保健因素 是指工作环境或条件相关的因素，由于这类因素带有预防性，只起保持人的积极性、 维持工作现状的作用。 4、控制 对组织各方面的活动给以监控，使组织实际运行状况与组织计划要求保持动 态适应的工作过程。这项工作由管理人员来做，并作为一项管理职能开展，通常称之为“管理控制” 。 5、反馈控制 把组织系统运行的结果返送到组织系统的输入端，与组织预定的计划标准进行比较，然 后找出实际与计划之间的差异，并采取措施纠正这种差异的一种控制方法。 6、管理幅度 管理幅度也称为管理宽度，指一个管理者直接管理下级人员的数目。 二、基本原理 1、决策的程序 要使决策有效就要遵循科学的决策程序，一般来说，决策的程序可以分为一下几个步 骤： （1）识别机会或诊断问题：问题是决策的起点，任何管理组织的进步、发展都是从发现 问题开始，然后做出变革而实现的。这里的问题是指应有的状况和实际之间的差距。 （2）确定决策目标：决策要求有明确而具体的决策目标。 （3）拟定备选方案：决策的基本含义是抉择，这就要求至少有两个以上的可行方案。可行性方案要具备 3 个条件，能够保证决策目标的实现，组织外部环境和内部条件都有可行性，具有排他性。 （4）分析评选备选方案：鉴定所有方案执行后可能产生的后果。要明智地评价备选方案，必须设法预测该方案执行后可能产生的后果，应尽量把所有可能都估计到。 专注专业
