一、概念题 1．国内生产总值（gross domestic product，GDP）答：国内生产总值指一定时期（通常为一年）内，一个经济体生产的所有最终产品和服务的市场价值总和。

GDP一般通过支出法和收入法两种方法进行核算。

用支出法计算的国内生产总值等于消费、投资、政府购买和净出口之和；用收入法计算的国内生产总值等于工资、利息、租金、利润、间接税、企业转移支付和折旧之和。

GDP是一国范围内生产的最终产品的市场价值，因此是一个地域概念；而与此相联系的国民生产总值（GNP）则是一个国民概念，指某国国民所拥有的全部生产要素所生产的最终产品和劳务的市场价值总和。

2．国民收入核算（national income accounting）答：国民收入核算指用于衡量GDP和许多相关统计数字的核算体系，是以整个国民经济或社会再生产为对象的宏观核算。

它以一定的经济理论为指导，综合运用统计和会计的方法，对一个国家或地区在一定时期内国民经济运行过程进行系统科学的定量描述，为经济分析和国家实行宏观经济调控、制订经济政策或计划管理提供重要的客观依据。

国民经济核算一词最早出现于1941年。

荷兰经济学家范·克利夫在荷兰《经济学家》杂志1941年7月号和11月号上，先后发表两篇文章，首次使用了“国民经济核算”一词。

亚伯《中级宏观经济学》（第7版）课后习题详解-第3章生产率、产出和就业【圣才出品】第3章生产率、产出和就业一、复习题1．生产函数的定义是什么？引起一国生产函数随时间变化的因素有哪些？要了解一国所能实现的产出，除了生产函数，还需知道哪些因素？答：（1）生产函数描述了资本和劳动的使用效率，它表明了任意给定资本和劳动投入量与产出之间的关系，其一般形式为：()=，Y AF K N式中，Y为给定时期内的实际产出，A为衡量整体生产率的系数，K为资本存量，N 为给定时期内的工人数，F为产出Y与资本K和劳动N的函数关系。

（2）供给冲击或生产率冲击导致经济体生产函数的变化。

一个正向的或有利的供给冲击会增加既定资本和劳动条件下的产出。

一个负向的或不利的供给冲击会降低各资本与劳动组合下的产出。

在现实世界中，供给冲击包括天气变化、使效率提高的管理技术改善和创新、政府管制的变化。

此外，供给冲击还包括资本和劳动以外的其他投入要素的变化，这些变化同样会影响产出。

（3）除了生产函数，还需要知道经济体所拥有的资本和劳动的数量。

2．生产函数曲线是向上倾斜的，但其斜率随生产要素投入量的增加而降低。

对于生产函数的这些特性，请给出经济解释。

答：生产函数曲线向上倾向意味着任意额外投入的资本或劳动都会使得产出增加。

生产函数曲线的斜率随着生产要素投入量的增加而降低反映了要素的边际生产力递减规律，因为资本的边际产量等于生产函数曲线的斜率，资本的边际产量随着资本增加而下降，从而使得斜率随着资本投入增加而降低。

给定劳动投入数量，随着资本的增加，额外的资本增加所带来的产出增加越来越小。

3．资本的边际产量（MPK）的定义是什么？如何解释MPK曲线的形状？答：（1）资本的边际产量指每单位资本存量的增加引起的产出增加。

由于的资本K?增加引起了的产出增加，单位资本的产出增加为，因此资本的边际产量为Y?/Y K。

/Y K（2）MPK曲线可以利用生产函数曲线表示出来，给定劳动投入水平下，标出不同的资本投入带来的不同产出，就得到生产函数曲线，而MPK就是生产函数曲线的斜率。

曼昆中级宏观经济学课后答案【篇一：曼昆宏观经济学-课后答案第6、7版】txt>复习题1、由于整个经济的事件产生于许多家庭与许多企业的相互作用，所以微观经济学和宏观经济学必然是相互关联的。

当我们研究整个经济时，我们必须考虑个别经济行为者的决策。

由于总量只是描述许多个别决策的变量的总和，所以宏观经济理论必然依靠微观经济基础。

2、经济学家是用模型来解释世界，但一个经济学家的模型往往是由符号和方程式构成。

经济学家建立模型有助于解释gdp、通货膨胀和失业这类经济变量。

这些模型之所以有用是因为它们有助于我们略去无关的细节而更加明确地集中于重要的联系上。

模型有两种变量：内生变量和外生变量，一个模型的目的是说明外生变量如何影响内生变量。

3、经济学家通常假设，一种物品或劳务的价格迅速变动使得供给量与需求量平衡，即市场走向供求均衡。

这种假设称为市场出清。

在回答大多数问题时，经济学家用市场出清模型。

持续市场出清的假设并不完全现实。

市场要持续出清，价格就必须对供求变动作出迅速调整。

但是，实际上许多工资和价格调整缓慢。

虽然市场出清模型假设所有工资和价格都是有伸缩性的，但在现实世界中一些工资和价格是粘性的。

明显的价格粘性并不一定使市场出清模型无用。

首先偷格并不总是呆滞的，最终价格要根据供求的变动而调整。

市场出清模型并不能描述每一种情况下的经济，但描述了经济缓慢地趋近了均衡。

价格的伸缩性对研究我们在几十年中所观察到的实际gdp增长这类长期问题是一个好的假设。

第二章宏观经济学数据复习题1、gdp既衡量经济中所有人的收入，又衡量对经济物品与劳务的总支出。

gdp能同时衡量这两件事，是因为这两个量实际上是相同的：对整个经济来说，收入必定等于支出。

这个事实又来自于一个更有基本的事实：由于每一次交易都有一个买者和一个卖者，所以，一个买者支出的每一美元必然成为一个卖者的一美元收入。

2、cpi衡量经济中物价总水平。

它表示相对于某个基年一篮子物品与劳务价格的同样一篮子物品与劳务的现期价格。

第一篇导言复习题第一章宏观经济学的科学1、解释宏观经济学和微观经济学之间的差距，这两个领域如何相互关联？【答案】微观经济学研究家庭和企业如何作出决策以及这些决策在市场上的相互作用。

微观经济学的中心原理是家庭和企业的最优化——他们在目的和所面临的约束条件下可以让自己的境况更好。

而相对的，宏观经济学研究经济的整体情况，它主要关心总产出、总就业、一般物价水平和国际贸易等问题，以及这些宏观指标的波动趋势与规律。

应该看到，宏观经济学研究的这些宏观经济变量是以经济体系中千千万万个体家庭和企业之间的相互作用所构成的。

因此，微观经济决策总是构成宏观经济模型的基础，宏观经济学必然依靠微观经济基础。

2、为什么经济学家建立模型？【答案】一般来说，模型是对某些具体事物的抽象，经济模型也是如此。

经济模型可以简洁、直接地描述所要研究的经济对象的各种关系。

这样，经济学家可以依赖模型对特定的经济问题进行研究；并且，由于经济实际不可控，而模型是可控的，经济学家可以根据研究需要，合理、科学的调整模型来研究各种经济情况。

另外，经济模型一般是数学模型，而数学是全世界通用的科学语言，使用规范、标准的经济模型也有利于经济学家正确表达自己的研究意图，便于学术交流。

3、什么是市场出清模型？什么时候市场出清的假设是适用的？【答案】市场出清模型就是供给与需求可以在价格机制调整下很快达到均衡的模型。

市场出清模型的前提条件是价格是具有伸缩性的（或弹性）。

但是，我们知道价格具有伸缩性是一个很强的假设，在很多实际情况下，这个假设都是不现实的。

比如：劳动合同会使劳动力价格在一段时期内具有刚性。

因此，我们必须考虑什么情况下价格具有伸缩性是合适的。

现在一般认为，在研究长期问题时，假设价格具有伸缩性是合理的；而在研究短期问题时，最好假设价格具有刚性。

因为，从长期看，价格机制终将发挥作用，使市场供需平衡，即市场出清，而在短期，价格机制因其他因素制约，难以很快使市场出清。

中级宏观经济学曼昆英文版第七版第三章习题答案重点11Chapter 3 National Income: Where It Comes From and Where It Goes 21 If consumption depends on the interest rate, then these conclusions about fiscal policy are modified somewhat. If consumption depends on the interest rate, then so does saving. The higher the interest rate, the greater the return to saving. Hence, it seems reasonable to think that an increase in the interest rate might increase saving and reduce consumption.Figure 3–6 shows saving as an increasing function of the interest rate. r S(r Figure 3–6 Real interest rate S Saving Consider what happens when government purchases increase. At any given level of the interest rate, national saving falls by the change in government purchases, as shown in Figure 3–7. The figure shows that if the saving function slopes upward, investment falls by less than the amount that government purchases rises by; this happens because consumption falls and saving increases in response to the higher interest rate. Hence, the more responsive consumption is to the interest rate, the less government purchases crowd out investment. r S2(r S1(r Figure 3–7 Real interest rate r1 r ?G I(r I1 II, S Investment, Saving 13. a. Figure 3–8 shows the case where the demand for loanable funds is stable but the supply of funds (the saving schedule fluctuates perhaps reflecting temporary shocks to income, changes in government spending, or changes in consumer confidence.

We would expect a negative correlation between investment and interest rates.22 Answers to Textbook Questions and Problems S1 (r r S2 (r Figure 3–8 Real interest rate I(r I, S Investment, Saving b. Figure 3-9 shows the case where the supply of loanable funds (saving does not respond to the interest rate. Also suppose that this curve is stable, whereas the demand for loanable funds varies, perhaps reflecting fluctuations in firms’ expectations about the marginal product of capital. We would now fin d a positive correlation between investment and the interest rate—when demand for funds rises, this pushes up the interest rate, so we see investment increase and the real interest rate increase at thesame time. r S(r Figure 3–9 Real interest rate I 2 (r I 1 (r I, S Investment, SavingChapter 3 National Income: Where It Comes From and Where It Goes 23 c. If both curves shift, we might generate a scatter plot as in Figure 3–10, where the economy fluctuates among points A, B, C, and D.

W hat is the consumer price index (CPI)? What are the three major items included in the CPI?RESPONSE:ANSWER: The CPI is a measure of the overall cost of the goods and services bought by a typical consumer. The three major items included in the CPI are shelter, transportation andfood.POINTS: -- / 12. H ow is the CPI computed?RESPONSE:ANSWER: First the basket of goods and services must be determined and also the relative importance of the various items to be included in the basket. Then the prices of thevarious items in the basket are determined. The cost of the basket is then determinedusing the data on prices and quantity. The base year is chosen, and the index for thebase year is computed using the quantities in the basket and the base year prices.The index is calculated by taking the price of the basket in the each year and dividingthis by the price of the basket in the base year. This ratio is then multiplied by 100. POINTS: -- / 13. D ifferentiate between the nominal rate of interest and the real rate of interest.RESPONSE:ANSWER: The nominal interest rate is the interest rate as usually reported without a correction for the effects of inflation. The real interest rate is the interest rate corrected for theeffects of inflation. The real interest rate = nominal interest rate minus the inflationrate.POINTS: -- / 14. W hat is meant by the inflation rate? If the CPI in 1996 was 107.6 and in 1995 was 105.9, calculatethe inflation rate for 1996.RESPONSE:ANSWER: The inflation rate is the percentage change in the price index from the preceding period. The inflation rate for 1996 would be:POINTS: -- / 15. W hat are the problems associated with using the consumer price index to measure the cost ofliving?RESPONSE:ANSWER: The problems are: (1) Prices do not change proportionately. Consumers respond by buying less of the goods whose prices have risen by large amounts and by buyingmore of the goods whose price have risen by less, or even fallen. The index iscomputed using a fixed basket of items, so theses changes in quantity would not bereflected in the basket. This is referred to as the substitution bias. (2) The CPI isdeveloped using a fixed basket of goods and services, when new products areintroduced during the time period that a particular fixed basket is being used, thesenew products will not be included in calculation of the index. (3) The CPI does notmeasure quality changes. If the quality of a good deteriorates from one year to thenext, the value of the dollar falls, even if the price of the good stays the same.Likewise, if the quality of the good increases from one year to the next, the value of adollar also rises. Statistics Canada will try to adjust the price of the good to account forthe quality change, but it is very difficult to measure quality.POINTS: -- / 1CHAPTER 25: PRODUCTION AND GROWTHTrue/FalseIndicate whether the statement is true or false.1.

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,企业的存货投资就是负的,因而减少了当期的GDP。

C．您买了一个比萨饼。

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),因为修建高速公路就是政府的行为。

E．您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),因为法国红酒就是进口食品,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),因为本田公司就是一家日本企业,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:因为转移支付并不就是要交换现在生产的物品或劳务,从宏观经济的角度瞧,转移支付就像税收与回扣一样。

转移支付与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就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。

一、概念题1．生产要素（factors of production）答：生产要素指为进行生产和服务活动而投入的各种经济资源。

要进行生产活动，就要投入各种经济资源。

通常将生产要素分为两大类：中间生产要素（或者称之为中间产品）和原始生产要素。

原始生产要素的所有者是消费者，消费者提供要素的目的是为了实现效用最大化。

在经济学中，原始生产要素包括以下四种：（1）劳动：人类在生产活动中所付出的体力和智力的活动，是所有生产要素中最能动的因素，劳动者是劳动这一生产要素的基本所有者。

（2）资本：人类生产出来又用于生产中的经济货物，包括机器、厂房、工具等生产资料。

从企业的角度看，既包括有形的资产，也包括无形资产，如商标、信誉和专利权等。

通常货币资本并不计入生产要素中。

（3）土地：包括土地、河流、森林、矿藏、野生生物等一切的自然资源，它们来自于大自然的恩赐，是最稀缺的经济资源。

（4）企业家才能：综合运用其他生产要素进行生产、革新、从事企业组织和经营管理的能力，以及创新和冒险精神。

中间生产要素指厂商生产出来又投入到生产过程中去的产品，这类要素的所有者是厂商，厂商提供中间生产要素的目的是实现利润最大化。

某一产品对某一个企业来说是中间产品，对另一个企业来讲可能就是产品。

比如，钢铁对于汽车厂来讲是中间产品，但它对于钢铁厂来讲就是产品。

2．生产函数（production function）答：生产函数是指在一定时期内，在技术水平不变的条件下，生产中所使用的各种生产要素的数量与所能生产的最大产量之间的关系。

一、概念题1．宏观经济学（macroeconomics）答：宏观经济学与微观经济学相对，是一种现代的经济分析方法。

它以国民经济总体作为考察对象，研究经济生活中有关总量的决定与变动，解释失业、通货膨胀、经济增长与波动、国际收支及汇率的决定与变动等经济中的宏观整体问题，所以又称之为总量经济学。

宏观经济学的中心和基础是总需求—总供给模型。

具体来说，宏观经济学主要包括总需求理论、总供给理论、失业与通货膨胀理论、经济增长与经济周期理论、开放经济理论、宏观经济政策等内容。

对宏观经济问题进行分析与研究的历史十分悠久，但现代意义上的宏观经济学直到20世纪30年代才得以形成和发展起来。

现代宏观经济学诞生的标志是凯恩斯于1936年出版的《就业、利息和货币通论》。

宏观经济学在20世纪30年代奠定基础，二战后逐步走向成熟并得到广泛应用，20世纪60年代后的“滞胀”问题使凯恩斯主义的统治地位受到严重挑战并形成了货币主义、供给学派、理性预期等学派对立争论的局面，20世纪90年代新凯恩斯主义的形成又使国家干预思想占据主流。

宏观经济学是当代发展最为迅猛，应用最为广泛，因而也是最为重要的经济学学科。

2．实际gdp（real gdp）答：实际gdp指用以前某一年的价格作为基期的价格计算出来的当年全部最终产品的市场价值。

它衡量在两个不同时期经济中的产品产量变化，以相同的价格或不变金额来计算两个时期所生产的所有产品的价值。
