人大经济学考研必备：曼昆《经济学原理》（第9章）第九章应用：国际贸易通过比较没有国际贸易时的国内价格和世界价格，可以确定自由贸易的影响。
国内价格低表明，该国在生产这种物品上有比较优势，而且将成为出口者。
国内价格高表明，世界其他国家在生产这种物品上有比较优势，而且该国将成为进口者。
当一国允许贸易并成为一种物品的出口者时，该物品的生产者状况变好，而该物品的消费者状况变坏。
当一国允许贸易并成为一种物品的进口者时，该物品的生产者状况变坏，而该物品的消费者状况变好。
但是这两种情况下，贸易的好处大于损失。
关税——进口的税——是市场接近于没有贸易时存在的均衡，因此，减少了贸易的好处。
虽然国内生产者的状况变好，而且政府增加了收入，但是消费者的损失大于这些好处。
d和f区域是关税带来的无谓损失。
进口配额的影响与关税类似。
但是，在进口配额时，进口许可证持有者得到了有关税时政府得到的收入(图中的蓝色区域)，但是消费者的损失大于这些好处。
有各种配额限制贸易论：保护工作岗位，保卫国家安全，有助于幼稚产业，防止不公平竞争以及对外国的贸易限制做出反应。
尽管这些观点在某些情况下有某些优点，但经济学家相信，自由贸易通常是一种更好的政策。
第十章外部性第一节外部性和市场无效率所谓使市场最适合量，是考虑到外部性的影响之后的。
我们说，市场达到了所谓的均衡点的时候，有的时候可能并没有把外部性的因素考虑进去，比如我们家的那个橡胶厂，肯定没有把污染的因素考虑进去。
它的所谓的均衡，是建立在我们环境的污染这个基础之上的。
它的外部性是负的。
比如技术溢出(发明创新)，它的外部性是正的。
外部性：一个人的行为对旁观者福利的影响。
正外部性;负外部性。
外部性的内在化：改变激励，以使人们考虑到自己行为的外部效应。
总之：政府可能对有负外部性的物品征税和对有正外部性的物品补助来把外部性内在化。
正外部性的例子：技术溢出。
对待技术溢出的方法：1. 政府旨在促进技术进步行业的经济干预——产业政策。

一、概念题1．奥肯定律（Okun ’s law ）答：奥肯定律是表示失业率与实际国民收入增长率之间关系的经验统计规律，由美国经济学家奥肯在20世纪60年代初提出。
其主要内容是：失业率每高于自然失业率1个百分点，实际GDP 将低于潜在GDP 2个百分点。
奥肯定律的一个重要结论是：实际GDP 必须保持与潜在GDP 同样快的增长，以防止失业率的上升。
如果政府想让失业率下降，那么，该经济社会的实际GDP 的增长必须快于潜在GDP 的增长。
根据奥肯的研究，在美国，失业率每下降1%，实际国民收入增长2%。
但应该指出的是：①奥肯定律表明了失业率与实际国民收入增长率之间是反方向变动的关系；②两者的数量关系1∶2是一个平均数，在不同的时期，这一比率并不完全相同；③这一规律适用于经济没有实现充分就业时的情况。
在经济实现了充分就业时，这一规律所表示的自然失业率与实际国民收入增长率之间的关系要弱得多，一般估算是1∶0.76。
2．领先指标（leading indicators ）答：领先指标是指一般先于整体经济变动的变量，可以帮助经济学家预测短期经济波动。
由于经济学家对前导指标可靠意见看法的不一致，导致经济学家给出不同的预测，其中就包括短期经济波动情况的预测。
领先指标的大幅度下降预示经济很可能会衰退，大幅度上升预示经济很可能会繁荣。
3．总需求（aggregate demand ）答：总需求是指整个经济社会在任何一个给定的价格水平下对产品和劳务的需求总量。

Describe the difference between average revenue and marginal reve-nue. Why are both of these revenue measures important to a prof-it-maximizing firm?ANS:Average revenue is total revenue divided by the quantity of output. Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue from the sale of each additional unit of output. Marginal revenue is used to determine the profit-maximizing level of production, and average revenue is used to help determine the level of profits. Note that for all firms, price equals average revenue because AR=(PxQ)/Q=P. But only for a firm operating in a perfectly competitive industry does price al-so equal marginal revenue.DIF: 2 REF: 14-1 NAT: Analytic LOC: Perfect competitionTOP: Price MSC: D efinitional2. List and describe the characteristics of a perfectly competitive market. ANS:There are many buyers and sellers in the market. The goods offered by the various sellers are largely the same. Firms can freely enter or exit the market. DIF: 2 REF: 14-1 NAT: Analytic LOC: Perfect competitionTOP: Competitive markets MSC: D efinitional3. Why would a firm in a perfectly competitive market always choose to set its price equal to the current market price? If a firm set its price below the current market price, what effect would this have on the market?ANS:The firm could not sell any more of its product at a lower price than it could sell at the market price. As a result, it would needlessly forgo revenue if it set a price below the market price. If the firm set a higher price, it would not sell anything at all because a competitive market has many sellers who would supply the product at the market price.DIF: 2 REF: 14-1 NAT: Analytic LOC: Perfect competitionTOP: Profit maximization MSC: A nalytical4. Use a graph to demonstrate the circumstances that would prevail in a competitive market where firms are earning economic profits. Can this sce-nario be maintained in the long run?

Explain how a firm in a competitive market identifies the prof-it-maximizing level of production. When should the firm raise production, and when should the firm lower production? ANS:The firm selects the level of output at which marginal revenue is equal tomarginal cost. If MR > MC, profit will increase if the firm increases Q.

一、概念题1．世界价格（world price）答：世界价格也称世界市场价格，指一种物品在世界市场上交易的价格。
世界价格是由商品的国际价值决定的。
国际价值是世界市场商品交换的惟一依据，各国商品的国别价值都必须还原为国际价值，以便在国际市场上交换。
而各国商品的国别价值在多大程度上表现为国际价值，是与各国的经济技术水平、劳动强度和劳动生产率密切相关的。
一般来说，一国的经济技术水平和劳动生产率越高，其商品价值就越低于国际商品价值，若按照国际商品价值出售，就能获得较好的经济效益；相反则会在竞争中处于不利的地位。
2．关税（tariff）答：关税是指对在国外生产而在国内销售的物品征收的税。
与其他税收相比，关税有两个主要特点：第一，关税的征收对象是进出境的货物和物品；第二，关税具有涉外性，是对外贸易政策的重要手段。
征收关税的作用主要有两个方面：一是增加本国财政收入；二是保护本国的产业和国内市场。
其中以前者为目的而征收的关税称为财政关税，以后者为目的而征收的关税称为保护关税。
与任何一种物品销售税一样，关税会扭曲激励，使得稀缺资源的配置背离最优水平，使市场接近于没有贸易时的均衡，因此，减少了贸易的好处。
关税虽然使国内生产者的状况变好，而且政府增加了收入，但造成消费者的损失大于获得的这些好处。
关税造成的无谓损失具体表现为：第一，关税使国内生产者能收取的价格高于世界价格，结果，鼓励他们增加低效率地生产。
第一章经济学十大原理问题与应用2．你正想决定是否去度假。
度假的大部分成本(机票、旅馆、放弃的工资)都用美元来衡量，但度假的收益是心理的。
你将如何比较收益与成本呢??答：这种心理上的收益可以用是否达到既定目标来衡量。
对于这个行动前就会作出的既定目标，我们一定有一个为实现目标而愿意承担的成本范围。
在这个可以承受的成本范围内，度假如果满足了既定目标，如：放松身心、恢复体力等等，那么，就可以说这次度假的收益至少不小于它的成本。
3．你正计划用星期六去从事业余工作，但一个朋友请你去滑雪。
去滑雪的真实成本是什么？现在假设你已计划这天在图书馆学习，这种情况下去滑雪的成本是什么？请解释之。
答：去滑雪的真实成本是周六打工所能赚到的工资，我本可以利用这段时间去工作。
如果我本计划这天在图书馆学习，那么去滑雪的成本是在这段时间里我可以获得的知识。
4．你在篮球比赛的赌注中赢了100美元。
你可以选择现在花掉它或在利率为5%的银行中存一年。
现在花掉100美元的机会成本是什么呢?答：现在花掉100 美元的机会成本是在一年后得到105 美元的银行支付(利息+本金)。
6．你的室友做饭比你好，但你打扫房间比你的室友快。
如果你的室友承担全部做饭工作，你承担全部打扫工作，那么你所要花费的时间比你们平均分摊两种家务时花费的时间多了还是少了？试举一个类似的例子，说明专业化和贸易如何使两个国家的状况变得更好。
答：我们俩各自承担自己擅长的工作比我们平均分摊两种家务时，我要花费的时间少了，因为娴熟的技巧使工作效率提高。
举例：假设A 国比B 国擅长生产丝绸，而B 国生产皮毛制品的效率比A 国高，如果A 国专门生产丝绸，B国专门生产皮毛制品，由于它们各自在相关生产上的优势，会使两种商品的生产率提高，有更多的丝绸和皮毛制品在市场上供应。
这样，A、B 两国间的专业分工和相互贸易使两国消费者有更多的丝绸和皮毛制品可供消费，两国的生活水平都提高了。

一、概念题1．世界价格（world price）答：世界价格也称世界市场价格，指一种物品在世界市场上交易的价格。
世界价格是由商品的国际价值决定的。
国际价值是世界市场商品交换的惟一依据，各国商品的国别价值都必须还原为国际价值，以便在国际市场上交换。
而各国商品的国别价值在多大程度上表现为国际价值，是与各国的经济技术水平、劳动强度和劳动生产率密切相关的。
一般来说，一国的经济技术水平和劳动生产率越高，其商品价值就越低于国际商品价值，若按照国际商品价值出售，就能获得较好的经济效益；相反则会在竞争中处于不利的地位。
2．关税（tariff）答：关税是指对在国外生产而在国内销售的物品征收的税。
与其他税收相比，关税有两个主要特点：第一，关税的征收对象是进出境的货物和物品；第二，关税具有涉外性，是对外贸易政策的重要手段。
征收关税的作用主要有两个方面：一是增加本国财政收入；二是保护本国的产业和国内市场。
其中以前者为目的而征收的关税称为财政关税，以后者为目的而征收的关税称为保护关税。
与任何一种物品销售税一样，关税会扭曲激励，使得稀缺资源的配置背离最优水平，使市场接近于没有贸易时的均衡，因此，减少了贸易的好处。
关税虽然使国内生产者的状况变好，而且政府增加了收入，但造成消费者的损失大于获得的这些好处。
关税造成的无谓损失具体表现为：第一，关税使国内生产者能收取的价格高于世界价格，结果，鼓励他们增加低效率地生产。
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。
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。
9．什么是通货膨胀，什么引起了通货膨胀?答：通货膨胀是流通中货币量的增加而造成的货币贬值，由此产生经济生活中价格总水平上升。
货币量增长引起了通货膨胀。
10．短期中通货膨胀与失业如何相关?答：短期中通货膨胀与失业之间存在着权衡取舍，这是由于某些价格调整缓慢造成的。
政府为了抑制通货膨胀会减少流通中的货币量，人们可用于支出的货币数量减少了，但是商品价格在短期内是粘性的，仍居高不下，于是社会消费的商品和劳务量减少，消费量减少又引起企业解雇工人。
在短期内，对通货膨胀的抑制增加了失业量。
问题与应用3．你正计划用星期六去从事业余工作，但一个朋友请你去滑雪。
去滑雪的真实成本是什么?现在假设你已计划这天在图书馆学习，这种情况下去滑雪的成本是什么?并解释之。
答：去滑雪的真实成本是周六打工所能赚到的工资，我本可以利用这段时间去工作。
如果我本计划这天在图书馆学习，那么去滑雪的成本是在这段时间里我可以获得的知识。
5．你管理的公司在开发一种新产品过程中已经投资500万美元，但开发工作还远远没有完成。
在最近的一次会议上，你的销售人员报告说，竞争性产品的进入使你们新产品的预期销售额减少为300万美元。

一、名词解释（每个子话题5分，共50分）1.机会成本:指人们利用一定资源获得某种收入时所放弃的在其他可能的用途中所能够获取的最大收入。
生产一单位的某种商品的机会成本是指生产者所放弃的使用相同的生产要素在其他生产用途中所能得到的最高收入。
机会成本的存在需要三个前提条件。
第一，资源是稀缺的；第二，资源具有多种生产用途；第三，资源的投无限制访问。
在从机会成本的角度审视生产过程时，制造商需要将生产要素投入到效益最大的项目中，以避免生产浪费，实现资源的最优配置。
机会成本的概念是基于资源的稀缺性。
在经济资源稀缺的前提下，当一个社会或企业利用一定的经济资源生产一定数量的一种或几种产品时，这些经济资源不能同时用于其他生产用途。
也就是说，这个社会或这个企业能够获得的一定数量的产品收入，是以放弃利用同样的经济资源生产其他产品所能获得的收入为代价的。
这也是机会成本的原因。
因此，一个社会生产一种产品的实际成本是它不能生产其他产品的成本。
因此，机会成本的含义是，任何生产资源或生产要素一般都有各种不同的方式或机会，也就是说，它可以用于生产各种产品。
然而，当一定数量的特定资源用于生产a类产品时，它们不能同时用于生产B类产品。
因此，生产一种产品的实际成本是不生产B产品的成本，或者等于这种资源生产B产品可能获得的最大回报。
如果一种资源决定用于一种产品，就牺牲了生产其他产品的机会；生产a级产品的收入来源于不从事或放弃生产其他产品的机会。

经济学原理（曼昆）第七版--第9章应用：国际贸易多选题答案（★）第一篇：经济学原理(曼昆)第七版--第9章应用：国际贸易多选题答案第9章应用：国际贸易快速多选：1.如果一个不允许钢铁进行国际贸易的国家的国内价格低于世界价格，那么：A．该国在生产钢铁中有比较优势，如果开放贸易会成为钢铁出口国。
B．该国在生产钢铁中有比较优势，如果开放贸易会成为钢铁进口国。
C．该国在生产钢铁中没有比较优势，如果开放贸易会成为钢铁出口国。
D．该国在生产钢铁中没有比较优势，如果开放贸易会成为钢铁进口国。
【答案】A 【解析】由于该国的国内钢铁价格低于世界价格，说明该国在生产钢铁上具有比较优势，因此该国将成为出口国。
2.当Ectenia国在咖啡豆方面对世界开放贸易时，国内咖啡豆价格下降。
以下哪一个选项说明了这种情况？A．国内咖啡产量增加，而且Ectenia变成了咖啡进口国。
B．国内咖啡产量增加，而且Ectenia变成了咖啡出口国。
C．国内咖啡产量减少，而且Ectenia变成了咖啡进口国。
D．国内咖啡产量减少，而且Ectenia变成了咖啡出口国。
【答案】C 【解析】首先，由国内咖啡豆价格下降知，贸易使得Ectenia过总供给增加（国内市场上，总供给>总需求），则该国为咖啡豆的进口国。
由一国允许贸易并成为一种物品的进口者时，该物品消费者的状况变好了知，该国是咖啡的进口国。
并且，大量进口导致国内咖啡产业受冲击，国内该物品的生产者状况变坏了。
此题也可以用排除法。
3.当一国开放一种产品的贸易并成为一个进口国时，将带来哪种结果？A.生产者剩余减少，但消费者剩余和总剩余增加。
B.生产者剩余减少，消费者剩余增加，而进口对总剩余的影响不确定。
C.生产者剩余和总剩余都增加，但消费者剩余减少。
D.生产者剩余、消费者剩余和总剩余都增加。
【答案】A 【解析】由书上结果知，当一国开放一种产品的贸易并成为一个进口国时，消费者剩余增加，生产者剩余减少，总剩余增加。
二十三章1下列每种交易会影响CDP的哪一部分(如果有影响的话)?并解释之。
A．家庭购买了一台新冰箱。
答：家庭购买了一台新冰箱会增加GDP 中的消费(C)部分，因为家庭用于家用电器的支出计算在消费的耐用品类中。
B．杰妮姑妈买了一所新房子。
答：杰妮姑妈买了一所新房子会增加GDP 中的投资(1)部分，因为家庭住宅能长期供人居住，提供服务。
它比一般耐用消费品的使用寿命更长，因此把住宅房屋的投资计算在投资中。
C.福特汽车公司由其存货中出售了一部雷鸟牌汽车。
答：福利汽车公司由其存货中出售了一部雷鸟牌汽车会减少现期GDP 中的投资，因为销售中间物品存货时，企业的存货投资是负的，因而减少了当期的GDP。
C．你买了一个比萨饼。
答：我买了一个比萨饼会增加GDP 中的消费(C)，因为我用于购买食品的支出计算在消费的非耐用品类中。
D．加利福尼亚重新铺设了101 号高速公路。
答：加利福尼亚重新铺设了101 号高速公路增加了GDP中的政府购买(G)，因为修建高速公路是政府的行为。
E．你的父母购买了一瓶法国红酒。
答：我的父母购买了一瓶法国红酒会减少GDP中的净出口(NX)，因为法国红酒是进口食品，它的购买增加了美国的进口。
F．本田公司扩大其在俄亥俄州马利斯维尔的工厂。
答：本田公司扩大其在俄亥俄州马利斯维尔的工厂增加了GDP中的净出口(NX)，因为本田公司是一家日本企业，它在美国的投资减少了美国对日本本田汽车的进口，使NX 增加2．GDP组成部分中的“政府购买”并不包括用于社会保障这类转移支付的支出。
想想GDP 的定义，解释为什么转移支付不包括在政府购买内?答：因为转移支付并不是要交换现在生产的物品或劳务，从宏观经济的角度看，转移支付就像税收和回扣一样。
转移支付和税收一样改变了家庭收入，但并没有反映经济的生产。
由于GDP 是要衡量在某一既定时期一个国家从物品与劳务的生产中得到的收入，所以，不把转移支付包括在政府购买内。
6．考虑以下美国GDP的数据：A．1996 年到1997 年间名义收入增长率是多少?(注意：增长率是一个时期到下一个时期百分比的变动。
