Describe some of the trade-offs faced by each ofthe following:a. a family deciding whether to buy a new carb. a member of Congress deciding how muchto spend on national parksc. a company president deciding whether toopen a new factoryd. a professor deciding how much to preparefor classe. a recent college graduate deciding whetherto go to graduate school2. You are trying to decide whether to take avacation. Most of the costs of the vacation (airfare,hotel, and forgone wages) are measured indollars, but the benefits of the vacation are psychological. How can you compare the benefitsto the costs?3. You were planning to spend Saturday workingat your part-time job, but a friend asks you togo skiing. What is the true cost of going skiing?Now suppose you had been planning to spendthe day studying at the library. What is the costof going skiing in this case? Explain.4. You win $100 in a basketball pool. You havea choice between spending the money now orputting it away for a year in a bank accountthat pays 5 percent interest. What is the opportunitycost of spending the $100 now?5. The company that you manage has invested$5 million in developing a new product, but thedevelopment is not quite finished. At a recentmeeting, your salespeople report that the introductionof competing products has reducedthe expected sales of your new product to$3 million. If it would cost $1 million to finish development and make the product, shouldyou go ahead and do so? What is the most thatyou should pay to complete development?6. The Social Security system provides income forpeople over age 65. If a recipient of SocialSecurity decides to work and earn someincome, the amount he or she receives in SocialSecurity benefits is typically reduced.a.

In what ways is your standard of living different from that of your parents or grandparentswhen they were your age? Why have thesechanges occurred?12. Suppose Americans decide to save more oftheir incomes. If banks lend this extra saving to businesses, which use the funds to build new factories, how might this lead to faster growthin productivity? Who do you suppose benefitsfrom the higher productivity? Is society gettinga free lunch?13. In 2010, President Barack Obama and Congress enacted a healthcare reform bill in the United States. Two goals of the bill were to providemore Americans with health insurance (via subsidies for lower-income households financedby taxes on higher-income households) andto reduce the cost of healthcare (via variousreforms in how healthcare is provided).a. How do these goals relate to equality and efficiency?b. How might healthcare reform increase productivity in the United States?c. How might healthcare reform decrease productivity in the United States?14. During the Revolutionary War, the American colonies could not raise enough tax revenueto fully fund the war effort; to make up this difference, the colonies decided to print more money. Printing money to cover expendituresis sometimes referred to as an “inflation tax.”Who do you think is being “taxed” when moremoney is printed? Why?15. Imagine that you are a policymaker trying to decide whether to reduce the rate of inflation.To make an intelligent decision, what wouldyou need to know about inflation, unemployment,and the trade-off between them?16.

曼昆《经济学原理(微观经济学分册)》课后习题详解(第7篇)【圣才出品】

曼昆《经济学原理(微观经济学分册)》课后习题详解(第7篇)【圣才出品】第7篇深⼊研究的论题第21章消费者选择理论⼀、概念题1.预算约束线(budget constraint )答:预算约束线⼜称消费可能线和价格线,指对消费者可以承受(在消费者收⼊和消费者希望购买的物品价格既定时)的消费组合的限制。

预算约束线表⽰消费者⽀付得起的消费组合。

假定以I 表⽰消费者的既定收⼊,以P 1和P 2分别表⽰商品1和商品2的价格,以X 1和X 2分别表⽰商品1和商品2的数量,那么,相应的预算等式为:P 1X 1+P 2X 2=I 。

上式表⽰:消费者的全部收⼊等于他购买商品1和商品2的总⽀出。

⽽且,可以⽤1I P 和2I P 来分别表⽰全部收⼊仅购买商品1或商品2的数量,它们分别表⽰预算约束线的横截距和纵截距。

此外,上式还可以改写成如下形式:12122P I X X P P =?+。

式中的预算约束线⽅程表明,预算约束线的斜率为12P P ?,纵截距为2I P 。

2.⽆差异曲线(indifference curve )答:⽆差异曲线指带给消费者相同满⾜程度的消费组合的⼀条曲线。

它表⽰消费者在⼀定偏好、⼀定技术条件和⼀定资源条件下选择商品时,对不同组合商品的满⾜程度是没有区别的。

与⽆差异曲线相对应的效⽤函数为:U =f (X 1,X 2)。

其中,X 1、X 2分别为商品1和商品2的消费数量;U 是常数,表⽰某个效⽤⽔平。

由于⽆差异曲线表⽰的是序数效⽤,所以,这⾥的U 只需表⽰某⼀个效⽤⽔平,⽽不在乎其具体数值的⼤⼩。

有的西⽅经济学者称这种效⽤⽔平为效⽤指数。

⽆差异曲线可以表⽰为图21-1所⽰。

在⼀个坐标系内,⽆差异曲线有⽆数条,图21-2中显⽰的只是其中的三条。

图中的横轴表⽰商品1的数量X1,纵轴表⽰商品2的数量X2,I、I′、I″分别代表三条⽆差异曲线。

图中的每⼀条⽆差异曲线上的任何⼀点,如⽆差异曲线I″上的A、B、C、D、E 和F点所代表的商品组合给消费者带来的效⽤⽔平都是相等的。

曼昆《微观经济学原理》课后习题答案

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。

1章答案一、单项选择题1经济学最好的定义是对()的研究。

a.社会如何管理其稀缺资源b.如何以最盈利的方式经营企业c.如何预测通货膨胀、失业和股票价格d.政府如何可以制止不受约束的利己所带来的危害【答案】a【解析】社会拥有的资源是有限的,因此不能生产人们希望拥有的所有物品与服务。

由于资源是稀缺的,社会资源的管理就尤为重要。

经济学研究社会如何管理自己的稀缺资源,经济学家还研究人们如何相互影响,分析影响整个经济的力量和趋势。

2你去看一场电影的机会成本是()。

a.门票的价格b.门票的价格加上你在电影院购买汽水和爆米花的费用c.去看电影所需要的所有现金支出加上你的时间的价值d.零,只要你享受了电影并认为你为它付出的时间和金钱是值得的【答案】c【解析】机会成本是为了得到某种东西所必须放弃的东西。

看电影的机会成本包括:①去看电影所需要的所有现金支出,即门票的价格、购买汽水和爆米花的费用;②看电影的时间价值,即当把时间用于看电影时,就不能把这段时间用于工作,为此而不得不放弃的工作收入。

3边际变动()。

a.对公共政策并不重要b.是逐步地改变现有计划c.使结果无效率d.并不影响激励【答案】b【解析】经济学家用边际变动这个术语来描述对现有行动计划的微小增量改变。

边际指边缘,边际变动是围绕所做的事的边缘的调整,即逐步地改变现有行动计划。

理性人通常通过比较边际收益与边际成本来做决策。

4亚当·斯密的看不见的手是指()。

a.企业家以牺牲消费者为代价而获利的不易察觉而隐蔽的方法b.自由市场达到合意结果的能力(尽管市场参与者是利己的)c.政府通过管制使消费者获益的能力(即使消费者没有意识到这种管制)d.生产者或消费者在不受管制的市场上把成本加到无关旁观者身上的方法【答案】b【解析】经济学家亚当·斯密在其著作《国民财富的性质和原因的研究》中提出了全部经济学中最著名的观察结果:家庭和企业在市场上相互交易,他们仿佛被一只“看不见的手”所指引,并导致了合意的市场结果。

You are trying to decide whether to take a vacation. Most of the costs of the vacation (airfare, hotel, and forgone wages) are measured indollars, but the benefits of the vacation are psychological. How can you compare the benefits to the costs?3. You were planning to spend Saturday working at your part-time job, buta friend asks you to go skiing. What is the true cost of going skiing? Now suppose you had been planning to spend the day studying at the library. Whatis the cost of going skiing in this case? Explain.4. You win $100 in a basketball pool. You have a choice between spending the money now or putting it away for a year in a bank account that pays 5 percent interest. What is the opportunity cost of spending the $100 now?5. The company that you manage has invested $5 million in developing a new product, but the development is not quite finished. At a recent meeting, your salespeople report that the introduction of competing products has reduced the expected sales of your new product to $3 million. If it would cost $1 million to finish development and make the product, should you go ahead and do so? What is the most that you should pay to complete development?6. The Social Security system provides income for people over age 65. If a recipient of Social Security decides to work and earn some income, the amount he or she receives in Social Security benefits is typically reduced. a. How does the provision of Social Securityaffect people‘s incentive to save while working?b. How does the reduction in benefits associated with higher earnings affect people‘s incentive to work past age 65?7. A 1996 bill reforming the federal government‘s antipoverty programs limited many welfare recipients to only two years of benefits. a. How doesthis change affect the incentives for working?b. How might this change represent a trade-off between equality and efficiency?8. Your roommate is a better cook than you are, but you can clean more quickly than your roommate can.

In what ways is your standard of living differentfrom that of your parents or grandparents when they were your age? Why have these changes occurred?12. Suppose Americans decide to save more of their incomes. If banks lend this extra saving to businesses, which use the funds to build new factories, how might this lead to faster growth in productivity? Who do you suppose benefits from the higher productivity? Is society getting a free lunch?13. In 2021, President Barack Obama and Congress enacted a healthcare reform bill in the United States. Two goals of the bill were to provide more Americans with health insurance (via subsidies for lower-income households financed by taxes on higher-income households) and to reduce the cost of healthcare (via various reforms in how healthcare is provided). a. How do these goals relate to equality and efficiency?b. How might healthcare reform increase productivity in the United States?c. How might healthcare reform decrease productivity in the United States?14. During the Revolutionary War, the American colonies could not raise enough tax revenue to fully fund the war effort; to make up this difference, the colonies decided to print more money. Printing money to cover expenditures is sometimes referred to as an �Dinflation tax.‖ Who do you think is being �Dtaxed‖ when more money is printed? Why?15. Imagine that you are a policymaker trying to decide whether to reduce the rate of inflation. To make an intelligent decision, what would you need to know about inflation, unemployment, and the trade-off between them?16.

Imagine that the society has two political parties, called the Hawks (who want a strong military) and the Doves (who want a smaller military). Show a point on your production possibilities frontier that the Hawks might choose and a point the Doves might choose.d. Imagine that an aggressive neighboring country reduces the size of its military. As a result, both the Hawks and the Doves reduce their desired production of guns by the same amount. Which party would get the bigger�Dpeace dividend,‖ measured by the increase in butter production? Explain.3. The first principle of economics discussed in Chapter 1 is that people face trade-offs. Use a production possibilities frontier to illustratesociety‘s trade-off between two �Dgoods‖―a clean environment and the quantity of industrial output. What do you suppose determines the shape and position of the frontier? Show what happens to the frontier if engineersdevelop a new way of producing electricity that emits fewer pollutants.4.

曼昆《经济学原理微观经济学分册》课后习题详解第1篇

曼昆《经济学原理微观经济学分册》课后习题详解第1篇

曼昆《经济学原理(微观经济学分册)》课后习题详解(第1篇)第1篇导言第1章经济学十大原理一、看法题1.稀缺性(scarcity)答:经济学研究的问题和经济物件都是以稀缺性为前提的。

稀缺性指在给定的时间内,相对于人的需求而言,经济资源的供应老是不足的,也就是资源的实用性与有限性。

人类花费各样物件的欲念是无穷的,知足这类欲念的物件,有的能够不付出任何代价而任意获得,称之为自由物件,如阳光和空气;但绝大部分物件是不可以自由取用的,因为世界上的资源(包含物质资源和人力资源)是有限的,这类有限的、为获取它一定付出某种代价的物件,称为“经济物件”。

正因为稀缺性的客观存在,地球上就存在着资源的有限性和人类的欲念与需求的无穷性之间的矛盾。

经济学的一个重要研究任务就是:“研究人们怎样进行决断,以便使用稀缺的或有限的生产性资源(土地、劳动、资本品如机器、技术知识)来生产各样商品,并把它们分派给不一样的社会成员进行花费。

”也就是从经济学角度来研究使用有限的资源来生产什么、怎样生产和为谁生产的问题。

2.经济学(economics)答:经济学是研究怎样将稀缺的资源有效地配置给互相竞争的用途,以令人类的欲望获取最大限度知足的科学。

时下常常有诸国内报刊文件的“现代西方经济学”一词,大多也都在这个意义上使用。

自从凯恩斯的名著《就业、利息和钱币通论》于1936年发布以后,西方经济学界对经济学的研究便分为两个部分:微观经济学与宏观经济学。

微观经济学是以单个经济主体(作为花费者的单个家庭或个人,作为生产者的单个厂商或公司,以及单个产品或生产因素市场)为研究对象,研究单个经济主风光对既定的资源拘束时怎样进行选择的科学。

宏观经济学则以整个公民经济为研究对象,主要着眼于对经济总量的研究。

3.效率(efficiency)答:效率指人们在实践活动中的产出与投入之比值,或许是效益与成本之比值,假如比值大,效率就高;反之,比值小,效率就低。

效率与产出或许利润的大小成正比,而与成本或投入成反比,也就是说,假如想提升效率,一定降低成本或投入,提升利润或产出。

第三章6.下表描述了Baseballia 国两个城市的生产可能性:一个工人每小时生产的红补袜子量一个工人每小时生产的白袜子量A .没有贸易,波士顿一双白袜子价格(用红袜子表示)是多少?芝加哥11 双白袜子价格是多少? 答:没有贸易时,波士顿 1 双白袜子价格是 1 双红袜子,芝加哥 1 双白袜子价格是 2 双红袜子。

B.在每种颜色的袜子生产上,哪个城市有绝对优势?哪个城市有比较优势??答:波士顿在生产红、白袜子上都有绝对优势。

波士顿在生产白袜子上有比较优势,芝加哥在生产红袜子上有比较优势。

C.如果这两个城市相互交易,两个城市将分别出口哪种颜色的袜子?答:如果它们相互交易,波士顿将出口白袜子,而芝加哥出口红袜子。

D.可以进行交易的价格范围是多少?答:白袜子的最高价格是 2 双红袜子,最低价格是 1 双红袜子。

红袜子的最高价格是 1 双白袜子,最低价格是1/2 双白袜子。

7.假定一个美国工人每年能生产100 件衬衣或20 台电脑,而一个中国工人每年能生产100 件衬衣或10 台电脑。

A .画出这两个国家的生产可能性边界。

假定没有贸易,每个国家的工人各用一半的时间生产两种物品,在你的图上标出这一点。

答:两个国家的生产可能性边界如图 3 一4 所示。

如果没有贸易,一个美国工人把一半的时间用于生产每种物品,则能生产50 件衬衣、10 台电脑;同样,一个中国工人则能生产50 件衬衣、5 台电脑。

图3 一4 生产可能性边界B.如果这两个国家进行贸易,哪个国家将出口衬衣?举出一个具体的数字例子,并在你的图上标出。

哪一个国家将从贸易中获益?解释原因。

答:中国将出口衬衣。

对美国而言,生产一台电脑的机会成本是 5 件衬衣,而生产一件衬衣的机会成本为1/5 台电脑。

对中国而言,生产一台电脑的机会成本是10 件衬衣,而生产一件衬衣的机会成本为1/10 台电脑。

因此,美国在生产电脑上有比较优势,中国在生产衬衣上有比较优势,所以中国将出口衬衣。

换句话说,道德风险是在双⽅信息⾮对称的情况下,⼈们享有⾃⼰⾏为的收益,⽽将成本转嫁给别⼈,从⽽造成他⼈损失的可能性。

道德风险的存在不仅使得处于信息劣势的⼀⽅受到损失,⽽且会破坏原有的市场均衡,导致资源配置的低效率。

在信息不对称的情况下,当代理⼈为委托⼈⼯作⽽其⼯作成果同时取决于代理⼈所做的主观努⼒和不由主观意志决定的各种客观因素,并且主观原因对委托⼈来说难以区别时,就会产⽣代理⼈隐瞒⾏动⽽导致对委托⼈利益损害的“道德风险”。

道德风险发⽣的⼀个典型领域是保险市场。

解决道德风险的主要⽅法是风险分担。

2.代理⼈(agent)答:代理⼈指⼀个为委托⼈完成某种⾏为的⼈。

这⾥的“⼈”,可以是⾃然⼈或法⼈。

在现实经济⽣活中,代理⼈的种类很多,如销售代理商、企业代理商、专利代理⼈、⼴告代理⼈、保险代理⼈、税务代理⼈等。

在现代微观经济学中,企业的管理者可以被看成是所有者的代理⼈。

随着分⼯和专业化的发展,交易和契约活动中的委托—代理关系成为现代经济中的重要问题。

在公司制度中,由于所有权和控制权、经营权的分离,导致了所有者和管理者之间潜在的利益⽭盾。

特别是在⼀些⼤型股份公司⾥,如果股权极其分散,对管理者的控制和影响就更弱了。

管理者是为了⾃⼰的利益最⼤化⽽⼯作,⽽不是为了股东利益最⼤化。

⽽委托—代理问题的重要之处在于,由于代理⼈的某些信息或某些⾏动是不可观察的,或者虽然可观察但不可确证,委托⼈难以通过⼀个直接的强制性契约来实现⾃⼰的利益最⼤化,⽽只能通过⼀个间接的激励⽅案,使代理⼈在追求⾃我利益的最⼤化实现的同时,也使委托⼈的利益尽可能地得到实现。

3.委托⼈(principal)答:委托⼈指让代理⼈完成某种⾏为的⼈。

曼昆《经济学原理(微观经济学分册)》课后习题详解(第1篇)

曼昆《经济学原理(微观经济学分册)》课后习题详解(第1篇)第1篇导言第1章经济学十大原理一、概念题1.稀缺性(scarcity)答:经济学研究的问题和经济物品都是以稀缺性为前提的。

稀缺性指在给定的时间内,相对于人的需求而言,经济资源的供给总是不足的,也就是资源的有用性与有限性。

人类消费各种物品的欲望是无限的,满足这种欲望的物品,有的可以不付出任何代价而随意取得,称之为自由物品,如阳光和空气;但绝大多数物品是不能自由取用的,因为世界上的资源(包括物质资源和人力资源)是有限的,这种有限的、为获取它必须付出某种代价的物品,称为“经济物品”。

正因为稀缺性的客观存在,地球上就存在着资源的有限性和人类的欲望与需求的无限性之间的矛盾。

经济学的一个重要研究任务就是:“研究人们如何进行抉择,以便使用稀缺的或有限的生产性资源(土地、劳动、资本品如机器、技术知识)来生产各种商品,并把它们分配给不同的社会成员进行消费。

”也就是从经济学角度来研究使用有限的资源来生产什么、如何生产和为谁生产的问题。

2.经济学(economics)答:经济学是研究如何将稀缺的资源有效地配置给相互竞争的用途,以使人类的欲望得到最大限度满足的科学。

时下经常见诸国内报刊文献的“现代西方经济学”一词,大多也都在这个意义上使用。

自从凯恩斯的名著《就业、利息和货币通论》于1936年发表之后,西方经济学界对经济学的研究便分为两个部分:微观经济学与宏观经济学。

微观经济学是以单个经济主体(作为消费者的单个家庭或个人,作为生产者的单个厂商或企业,以及单个产品或生产要素市场)为研究对象,研究单个经济主体面对既定的资源约束时如何进行选择的科学。

宏观经济学则以整个国民经济为研究对象,主要着眼于对经济总量的研究。

3.效率(efficiency)答:效率指人们在实践活动中的产出与投入之比值,或者是效益与成本之比值,如果比值大,效率就高;反之,比值小,效率就低。

效率与产出或者收益的大小成正比,而与成本或投入成反比,也就是说,如果想提高效率,必须降低成本或投入,提高收益或产出。
