二、分析讨论1.如何理解西方经济学是一门考察稀缺的资源合理配置的科学。
答:西方经济学认为,人类的欲望和由此引起的对物品和劳务的需要是无限多样的,可是用来满足这些无限需要的手段即用来提供这些物品和劳务的生产资源是稀缺的。
这样,就产生了如何分配使用这些有限的资源来满足无限需要的问题,这就是“选择”,也就是“配置”资源的问题。
人类社会面临的经济问题就是如何把有限的资源合理地和有效率地分配使用于各种途径以满足人类无限多样的需要。
在市场经济中,资源的配置是通过市场价格机制来实现的。
生产什么、生产多少、如何生产、为谁生产,都是由市场价格决定的。
假若人类能无限量地生产出各种物品,或者人类的欲望能够完全得到满足,即在这样一个丰裕的伊甸园里,不存在稀缺物品,所有的物品都是免费的,像沙漠中的沙和海岸边的海水,价格和市场互不相关,那么经济学就无须存在了。
正是由于人类欲望的无限性和生产资源的有限性之间的矛盾才引起了人类的经济活动,西方经济学也就成为一门考察稀缺资源的配置的科学。

经济学原理课后习题及答案经济学原理课后习题及答案经济学原理课是大学经济学专业的基础课程之一,通过学习这门课程,学生可以了解经济学的基本原理和理论,培养经济分析和决策能力。
在课程学习过程中,老师通常会布置一些习题作为课后作业,以检验学生对课程内容的理解和掌握程度。
下面是一些经济学原理课后习题及答案的示例。
1. 供给和需求习题:假设某种商品的市场供给曲线为Qs = 100 + 2P,市场需求曲线为Qd = 200 - P,求市场均衡价格和数量。
答案:市场均衡价格和数量可以通过供给和需求曲线的交点来确定。
将供给和需求方程联立,得到100 + 2P = 200 - P,解得P = 33.33。
将P代入供给或需求方程中,得到Qs = 100 + 2 * 33.33 = 166.67,Qd = 200 - 33.33 = 166.67。
因此,市场均衡价格为33.33,市场均衡数量为166.67。
2. 边际效用习题:某人消费3个苹果的总效用为20,消费4个苹果的总效用为25,求第4个苹果的边际效用。
答案:边际效用是指消费一单位商品所带来的额外效用。
根据题意,当消费3个苹果时,总效用为20;当消费4个苹果时,总效用为25。
