This chapter presents a general model which admits previous models as special cases. This “standard trade model” is the workhorse of international trade theory and can be used to address a wide range of issues. Some of these issues, such as the welfare and distributional effects of economic growth, transfers between nations, and tariffs and subsidies on traded goods are considered in this chapter. The standard trade model is based upon four relationships. First, an economy will produce at the point where the production possibilities curve is tangent to the relative price line (called the isovalue line). Second, indifference curves describe the tastes of an economy, and the consumption point for that economy is found at the tangency of the budget line and the highest indifference curve. These two relationships yield the familiar general equilibrium trade diagram for a small economy (one which takes as given the terms of trade), where the consumption point and production point are the tangencies of the isovalue line with the highest indifference curve and the production possibilities frontier, respectively.You may want to work with this standard diagram to demonstrate a number of basic points. First, an autarkic economy must produce what it consumes, which determines the equilibrium price ratio; and second, opening an economy to trade shifts the price ratio line and unambiguously increases welfare. Third, an improvement in the terms of trade increases welfare in the economy. Fourth, it is straightforward to move from a small country analysis to a two country analysis by introducing a structure of world relative demand and supply curves which determine relative prices.These relationships can be used in conjunction with the Rybczynski and the Stolper-Samuelson Theorems from the previous chapter to address a range of issues. For example, you can consider whether the dramatic economic growth of countries like Japan and Korea has helped or hurt the United States as a whole, and also identify the classes of individuals within the United States who have been hurt by the particular growth biases of these countries. In teaching these points, it might be interesting and useful to relate them to current events. For example, you can lead a class discussion of the implications for the United States of the provision of forms of technical and economic assistance to the emerging economies around the world or the ways in which a world recession can lead to a fall in demand for U.S. export goods.The example provided in the text considers the popular arguments in the media that growth in Japan or Korea hurts the United States. The analysis presented in this chapter demonstrates that the bias of growth is important in determining welfare effects rather than the country in which growth occurs. The existence of biased growth, and the possibility of immiserizing growth is discussed. The Relative Supply (RS) and Relative Demand (RD) curves illustrate the effect of biased growth on the terms of trade. The new terms of trade line can be used with the general equilibrium analysis to find the welfare effects of growth. A general principle which emerges is that a country which experiences export-biased growth will have a deterioration in its terms of trade, while a country which experiences import-biased growth has an improvement in its terms of trade. A case study points out that growth in the rest of the world has made other countries more like the United States. This import-biased growth has worsened the terms of trade for the United States. The second issue addressed in the context of the standard trade model is the effect of international transfers. The salient point here is the direction, if any, in which the relative demand curve shifts in response to the redistribution of income from a transfer. A transfer worsens the donor’s ter ms of trade if it has a higher marginal propensity to consume its export good than the recipient. The presence of non-traded goods tends to reinforce the deterioration of terms of trade for the donor country. The case study attendant to this issue involves the deterioration of many Asian countries’ terms of trade due to the large capital withdrawals at the end of the 1990s.18 Krugman/Obstfeld •International Economics: Theory and Policy, Eighth EditionThe third area to which the standard trade model is applied are the effects of tariffs and export subsidies on welfare and terms of trade. The analysis proceeds by recognizing that tariffs or subsidies shift both the relative supply and relative demand curves. A tariff on imports improves the terms of trade, expressed in external prices, while a subsidy on exports worsens terms of trade. The size of the effect depends upon the size of the country in the world. Tariffs and subsidies also impose distortionary costs upon the economy. Thus, if a country is large enough, there may be an optimum, non-zero tariff. Export subsidies, however, only impose costs upon an economy. Intranationally, tariffs aid import-competing sectors and hurt export sectors while subsidies have the opposite effect. An appendix presents offer curve diagrams and explains this mode of analysis.Answers to Textbook Problems1.Note how welfare in both countries increases as the two countries move from productionpatterns governed by domestic prices (dashed line) to production patterns governed by worldprices (straight line).2.3. An increase in the terms of trade increases welfare when the PPF is right-angled. The production pointis the corner of the PPF. The consumption point is the tangency of the relative price line and the highest indifference curve. An improvement in the terms of trade rotates the relative price line about its intercept with the PPF rectangle (since there is no substitution of immobile factors, the production point stays fixed). The economy can then reach a higher indifference curve. Intuitively, although there is no supply response, the economy receives more for the exports it supplies and pays less for the imports it purchases.Chapter 5 The Standard Trade Model 19 4. The difference from the standard diagram is that the indifference curves are right angles rather thansmooth curves. Here, a terms of trade increase enables an economy to move to a higher indifference curve. The income expansion path for this economy is a ray from the origin. A terms of tradeimprovement moves the consumption point further out along the ray.5. The terms of trade of Japan, a manufactures (M) exporter and a raw materials (R) importer, is the worldrelative price of manufactures in terms of raw materials (p M/p R). The terms of trade change can be determined by the shifts in the world relative supply and demand (manufactures relative to raw materials) curves. Note that in the following answers, world relative supply (RS) and relative demand (RD) are always M relative to R. We consider all countries to be large, such that changes affect the world relative price.a. Oil supply disruption from the Middle East decreases the supply of raw materials, which increasesthe world relative supply. The world relative supply curve shifts out, decreasing the world relative price of manufactured goods and deteriorating Japan’s terms of t rade.b. Korea’s increased automobile production increases the supply of manufactures, which increasesthe world RS. The world relative supply curve shifts out, decreasing the world relative price ofmanufactured goods and deteriorating Japan’s terms of tr ade.c. U.S. development of a substitute for fossil fuel decreases the demand for raw materials. Thisincreases world RD, and the world relative demand curve shifts out, increasing the world relative price of manufactured goods and improving Japan’s terms of trade. This occurs even if no fusion reactors are installed in Japan since world demand for raw materials falls.d. A harvest failure in Russia decreases the supply of raw materials, which increases the world RS.The world relative supply curve shifts o ut. Also, Russia’s demand for manufactures decreases,which reduces world demand so that the world relative demand curve shifts in. These forcesdecrease the world relative price of manufactured goods and deteriorate Japan’s terms of trade.e. A reduction in Japan’s tariff on raw materials will raise its internal relative price of manufactures.This price change will increase Japan’s RS and decrease Japan’s RD, which increases the worldRS and decreases the world RD (i.e., world RS shifts out and world RD shifts in). The worldrelative price of manufactures declines and Japan’s terms of trade deteriorate.6. The declining price of services relative to manufactured goods shifts the isovalue line clockwise sothat relatively fewer services and more manufactured goods are produced in the United States, thus reducing U.S. welfare.20 Krugman/Obstfeld •International Economics: Theory and Policy, Eighth Edition7. These results acknowledge the biased growth which occurs when there is an increase in one factor ofproduction. An increase in the capital stock of either country favors production of Good X, while an increase in the labor supply favors production of Good Y. Also, recognize the Heckscher-Ohlin result that an economy will export that good which uses intensively the factor which that economy has in relative abundance. Country A exports Good X to Country B and imports Good Y from Country B.The possibility of immiserizing growth makes the welfare effects of a terms of trade improvement due to export-biased growth ambiguous. Import-biased growth unambiguously improves welfare for the growing country.a. A’s terms of trade worsen, A’s welfare may increase or, less likely, decrease, and B’s welfareincreases.b. A’s terms of trade improve, A’s welfare increases and B’s welfare decreases.c. B’s terms of trade improve, B’s welfare increases and A’s welfare decreases.d. B’s terms of trade worsen, B’s welfare may increase or, less likely, decrease, and A’s welfareincreases.8. Immiserizing growth occurs when the welfare deteriorating effects of a worsening in an economy’sterms of trade swamp the welfare improving effects of growth. For this to occur, an economy must undergo very biased growth, and the economy must be a large enough actor in the world economy such that its actions spill over to adversely alter the terms of trade to a large degree. This combination of events is unlikely to occur in practice.9. India opening should be good for the U.S. if it reduces the relative price of goods that China sends tothe U.S. and hence increases the relative price of goods that the U.S. exports. Obviously, any sector in the U.S. hurt by trade with China would be hurt again by India, but on net, the U.S. wins. Note that here we are making different assumptions about what India produces and what is tradable than we are in Question #6. Here we are assuming India exports products the U.S. currently imports and China currently exports. China will lose by having the relative price of its export good driven down by the increased production in India.10. Aid which must be spent on exports increases the demand for those export goods and raises their pricerelative to other goods. There will be a terms of trade deterioration for the recipient country. This can be viewed as a polar case of the effect of a transfer on the terms of trade. Here, the marginal propensity to consume the export good by the recipient country is 1. The donor benefits from a terms of trade improvement. As with immiserizing growth, it is theoretically possible that a transfer actuallyworsens the welfare of the recipient.11. When a country subsidizes its exports, the world relative supply and relative demand schedules shiftsuch that the terms of trade for the country worsen. A countervailing import tariff in a second country exacerbates this effect, moving the terms of trade even further against the first country. The firstcountry is worse off both because of the deterioration of the terms of trade and the distortionsintroduced by the new internal relative prices. The second country definitely gains from the firstcountry’s export su bsidy, and may gain further from its own tariff. If the second country retaliated with an export subsidy, then this would offset the initial improvement in the terms of trade; the“retaliatory” export subsidy definitely helps the first country and hurts th e second.。

In Chapter 4, this analysis goes a step further by introducing the Heckscher-Ohlin theory.The Heckscher-Ohlin theory considers the pattern of production and trade which will arise when countries have different endowments of factors of production, such as labor, capital, and land. The basic point is that countries tend to export goods that are intensive in the factors with which they are abundantly supplied. Trade has strong effects on the relative earnings of resources, and tends to lead to equalization across countries of prices of the factors of production. These theoretical results and related empirical findings are presented in this chapter.The chapter begins by developing a general equilibrium model of an economy with two goods which are each produced using two factors according to fixed coefficient production functions. The assumption of fixed coefficient production functions provides an unambiguous ranking of goods in terms of factor intensities. (The appendix develops the model when the production functions have variable coefficients.) Two important results are derived using this model. The first is known as the Rybczynski effect. Increasing the relative supply of one factor, holding relative goods prices constant, leads to a biased expansion of production possibilities favoring the relative supply of the good which uses that factor intensively.The second key result is known as the Stolper-Samuelson effect. Increasing the relative price of a good, holding factor supplies constant, increases the return to the factor used intensively in the production of that good by more than the price increase, while lowering the return to the other factor. This result has important income distribution implications.It can be quite instructive to think of the effects of demographic/labor force changes on the supply of different products. For example, how might the pattern of production during the productive years of the “Baby Boom” generation differ from the pattern of production for post Baby Boom generations? What does this imply for returns to factors and relative price behavior?The central message concerning trade patterns of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory is that countries tend to export goods whose production is intensive in factors with which they are relatively abundantly endowed. This is demonstrated by showing that, using the relative supply and relative demand analysis, the country relatively abundantly endowed with a certain factor will produce that factor more cheaply than the other country. International trade leads to a convergence of goods prices. Thus, the results from the Stolper-Samuelson effect demonstrate that owners of a country’s abundant factors gain from trade, but ownersof a country’s scarce factors lose. The extension of this result is the important Factor Price Equalization Theorem, which states that trade in (and thus price equalization of) goods leads to an equalization in the rewards to factors across countries. The political implications of factor price equalization should be interesting to students.The chapter also introduces some political economy considerations. First, it briefly notes that many of the results regarding trade and income distribution assume full and swift adjustment in the economy. In the short run, though, labor and capital that are currently in a particular industry may have sector-specific skills or knowledge and are being forced to move to another sector, and this involves costs. Thus, even if a shift in relative prices were to improve the lot of labor, for those laborers who must change jobs, there is a short run cost.The core of the political economy discussion focuses on the fact that when opening to trade, some may benefit and some may lose, but the expansion of economic opportunity should allow society to redistribute some of the gains towards those who lose, making sure everyone benefits on net. In practice, though, those who lose are often more concentrated and hence have more incentive to try to affect policy. Thus, trade policy is not always welfare maximizing, but may simply reflect the preferences of the loudest and best organized in society.Empirical results concerning the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, beginning with the Leontief paradox and extending to current research, do not support its predictions concerning resource endowments explaining overall patterns of trade, though some patterns do match the broad outlines of its theory (e.g., theUnited States imports more low-skill products from Bangladesh and more high-skill products from Germany). This observation has motivated many economists to consider motives for trade between nations that are not exclusively based on differences across countries. These concepts will be exploredin later chapters. Despite these shortcomings, important and relevant results concerning income distribution are obtained from the Heckscher-Ohlin theory.Answers to Textbook Problems1. The definition of cattle growing as land intensive depends on the ratio of land to labor used inproduction, not on the ratio of land or labor to output. The ratio of land to labor in cattle exceeds the ratio in wheat in the United States, implying cattle is land intensive in the United States. Cattle is land intensive in other countries as well if the ratio of land to labor in cattle production exceeds the ratio in wheat production in that country. Comparisons between another country and the United States is less relevant for this purpose.2. a. The box diagram has 600 as the length of two sides (representing labor) and 60 as the lengthof the other two sides (representing land). There will be a ray from each of the two cornersrepresenting the origins. To find the slopes of these rays we use the information from the questionconcerning the ratios of the production coefficients. The question states that a LC/a TC= 20 anda LF/a TF= 5.Since a LC/a TC= (L C/Q C)/(T C/Q C) =L C/T C we have L C= 20T C. Using the same reasoning,a LF/a TF= (L F/Q F)/(T F/Q F) =L F/T F and since this ratio equals 5, we have L F= 5T F. We cansolve this algebraically since L=L C+ L F= 600 and T=T C+ T F= 60.The solution is L C= 400, T C= 20, L F= 200 and T F= 40.b. The dimensions of the box change with each increase in available labor, but the slopes of the raysfrom the origins remain the same. The solutions in the different cases are as follows.L= 800: T C= 33.33, L C= 666.67, T F= 26.67, L F= 133.33L= 1000: T C= 46.67, L C= 933.33, T F= 13.33, L F= 66.67L= 1200: T C= 60, L C= 1200, T F= 0, L F= 0. (complete specialization).c. At constant factor prices, some labor would be unused, so factor prices would have to change, orthere would be unemployment.3. This question is similar to an issue discussed in Chapter 3. What matters is not the absolute abundanceof factors, but their relative abundance. Poor countries have an abundance of labor relative to capital when compared to more developed countries.4. In the Ricardian model, labor gains from trade through an increase in its purchasing power. Thisresult does not support labor union demands for limits on imports from less affluent countries. The Heckscher-Ohlin model directly addresses distribution by considering the effects of trade on theowners of factors of production. In the context of this model, unskilled U.S. labor loses fromtrade since this group represents the relatively scarce factors in this country. The results from theHeckscher-Ohlin model support labor union demands for import limits. In the short run, certainunskilled unions may gain or lose from trade depending on in which sector they work, but in theory, in the longer run, the conclusions of the Heckscher-Ohlin model will dominate.5. Specific programmers may face wage cuts due to the competition from India, but this is not inconsistentwith skilled labor wages rising. By making programming more efficient in general, this development may have increased wages for others in the software industry or lowered the prices of the goodsoverall. In the short run, though, it has clearly hurt those with sector specific skills who will facetransition costs. There are many reasons to not block the imports of computer programming services (or outsourcing of these jobs). First, by allowing programming to be done more cheaply, it expands the production possibilities frontier of the U.S., making the entire country better off on average.Necessary redistribution can be done, but we should not stop trade which is making the nation as a whole better off. In addition, no one trade policy action exists in a vacuum, and if the U.S. blocked the programming imports, it could lead to broader trade restrictions in other countries.6. The factor proportions theory states that countries export those goods whose production is intensivein factors with which they are abundantly endowed. One would expect the United States, whichhas a high capital/labor ratio relative to the rest of the world, to export capital-intensive goods if the Heckscher-Ohlin theory holds. Leontief found that the United States exported labor-intensive goods.Bowen, Leamer and Sveikauskas found for the world as a whole the correlation between factorendowment and trade patterns to be tenuous. The data do not support the predictions of the theory that countries’ e xports and imports reflect the relative endowments of factors.7. If the efficiency of the factors of production differs internationally, the lessons of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory would be applied to “effective factors” which adjust for the differences in technology or worker skills or land quality (for example). The adjusted model has been found to be moresuccessful than the unadjusted model at explaining the pattern of trade between countries. Factor-price equalization concepts would apply to the effective factors. A worker with more skills or in a country with better technology could be considered to be equal to two workers in another country. Thus, the single person would be two effective units of labor. Thus, the one high-skilled workercould earn twice what lower-skilled workers do, and the price of one effective unit of labor would still be equalized.。

3、答:如图,以粮食和棉布为例,当生产可能性边界是直角时,贸易条件改善增进了本国福利。

生产点位于直角顶点,消费点是等价值线和无差异曲线的切点。

贸易条件的改善使得等价值线的截距增加,即等价值线直角顶点向外偏转(由于没有流动要素,生产点固定)。

经济体达鱼 车 鱼车瑞典 F C本国鱼 车 鱼车挪威 挪威挪威到获得了更高的无差异曲线,从直观上来看,产出并没有发生变化,经济体获益主要是通过相对于进口产品购买力的增加来实现的。

4、答:由于购买产品比例是固定的,所以无差异曲线是直角形状。

贸易条件的改善使该国达到了更高的无差异曲线。

无差异曲线沿着从原点出发的射线移动,其顶点始终在该射线上,射线的斜率为两种产品的比例,贸易条件的改善使无差异曲线远离原点。

5、答:日本贸易条件是制造品价格比去原材料价格的相对价格,贸易条件的变动由相对供给和相对需求的变动决定。

(a )中东石油供应的紧缺使得原材料的供给减少,这导致了制造品的相对供给增加,RS 曲线向右移动,制造品的相对价格下降,日本的贸易条件恶化。

(b )韩国扩展了汽车生产能力增加了世界汽车的总供给,使得世界汽车的相对供给增加了,RS 曲线向右移动,世界市场上汽车的相对价格下降了,日本的贸易条件恶化了。

(c )美国工程师以核反应堆代替石油燃料发电厂,减少了对石油,即原材料的需求,这导致了原材料相对价格的下降,RD 曲线向右移动,制造品的相对需求上升和相对价格上升,日本的贸易条件得以改善。

of its import, this should unequivocally improve its terms of tradeand its economic welfare、Discuss、Answer: Suppose Japan experiences economic growth biased in favor of its import substitutes、For example, assume that Japan imports components and exports final goods, but that it experiences a major growthin its components manufacture sector、Since Japan is internationally a large country in these markets,this would tend to hurt its component supplier's terms of trade (and help Japan's)、However, such abias in economic growth may tend to lessen the volume of international trade、At an extreme, Japanmay become an exporter of components and an importer of final goods、If the result is a lessening ofspecialization and of the volume of trade, then this effect will lower Japan's welfare associated withgains from trade、If an actual change in the pattern of comparative advantage occurs (a possibility)this may cause dynamic dislocations whose harm overpowers static gains for a relatively long periodof time、20) At the conclusion of World War I, Germany, as a punishment, was obliged to make a large transfer to Francein the form of reparations、Is it possible that the actual reparations may have improved Germany'seconomic welfare?Answer: Such a result is not likely、However, theoretically, if France's income elasticity of demand for Germany's exports was higher than Germany's income elasticity of demand for its own exportable,then the real income transfer associated with these reparations may have improved Germany's termsof trade, and improved its balance of payments, thus helping Germany in manner unanticipated in theTreaty of Verssaille、Explain、21) If the U.S. (a large country) imposes a tariff on its imported good, this will tend toA) have no effect on terms of trade、B) improve the terms of trade of all countries、C) improve the terms of trade of the United States、D) cause a deterioration of U.S. terms of trade、E) raise the world price of the good imported by the United States、Answer: C22) If Slovenia is a small country in world trade terms, then if it imposes a large series of tariffs on many of itsimports, this wouldA) have no effect on its terms of trade、B) improve its terms of trade、C) deteriorate its terms of trade、D) decrease its marginal propensity to consume、E) None of the above、Answer: A23) If Slovenia were a large country in world trade, then if it instituted a large set of subsidies for its exports, thismustA) have no effect on its terms of trade、B) improve its terms of trade、C) deteriorate its terms of trade、D) decrease its marginal propensity to consume、E) None of the above、Answer: C24) If Slovenia were a large country in world trade, then if it instituted a large set of subsidies for its exports, thismustA) cause retaliation on the part of its trade partners、B) harm Slovenia's real income、C) improve Slovenia's real income、D) improve the real income of its trade partners、E) None of the above、Answer: D25) An export subsidy has the opposite effect on terms of trade to the effect of an import tariff、Domestically atariff will raise the price of the import good, deteriorating the domestic terms of trade、A productionsubsidy for the export product will lower the local price of the export good, lowering the domestic terms of trade for the country、Hence the export subsidy and the import tariff have the same effect、This analysis seems to contradict the first sentence in this paragraph、Discuss this paradox、Answer: While this (Lerner) equivalence may well occur domestically, internationally the tariff will improve a country's terms of trade、An export subsidy on the other hand will in fact lower the internationalprice of the (now readily available) export good, hence hurting a country's terms of trade、26) Suppose, as a result of various dynamic factors associated with exposure to international competition,Albania's economy grew, and is now represented by the rightmost production possibility frontier in the figure above、If its point of production with trade was point c, would you consider this growth to beexport-biased or import biased? If Albania were a large country with respect to the world trade of A and B, how would this growth affect Albania's terms of trade? Its real income?Answer: If point c is the production point with trade, then Albania has a comparative advantage in good B、Therefore, from the shape of the new production possibility frontier (as compared to the original one),this is clearly an export-biased growth、This ceteris paribus would tend to worsen Albania's terms oftrade、The terms of trade effect would, again ceteris paribus, worsen its real income、However, thegrowth itself acts in the opposite direction、27) Suppose, as a result of various dynamic factors associated with exposure to international competition,Albania's economy grew, and is now represented by the rightmost production possibility frontier in the figure above、If its point of production with trade was point b, would you consider this growth to beexport-biased or import biased? If Albania were a large country with respect to the world trade of A and B, how would this growth affect Albania's terms of trade? Its real income? What if Albania were a small country?Answer: If the production with trade point was point b, then the observed growth is a case of import-biased growth, and would improve Albania's terms of trade、If Albania were a small country, the world'sterms of trade would not change at all、In such a case, economic growth (with no induced change inincome distributions) would always increase its real income、。

国际经济学课后习题答案

国际经济学课后习题答案

第二章 古典国际贸易理论1. 根据重商主义的观点,一国必须保持贸易顺差。

在两国模型中是否可能?为什么?思路:在两国模型中一国的贸易顺差等于另一国的贸易逆差,不可能出现两国都顺差的情况,重商主义贸易顺差的目标必有一国无法实现。

2. 在分析中国加入世界贸易组织(WTO )的利弊时,有人说“为了能够打开出口市场,我们不得不降低关税,进口一些外国产品。

这是我们不得不付出的代价”;请分析评论这种说法。

思路:这种说法实际是“重商主义”,认为出口有利,进口受损,实际上降低关税多进口本国不具有比较优势的产品,把资源用在更加有效率的产品生产中去再出口,能大大提高一国的福利水平,对一国来说反而是好事。

3. 在古典贸易模型中,假设A 国有120名劳动力,B 国有50名劳动力,如果生产棉花的话,A 国的人均产量是2吨,B 国也是2吨;要是生产大米的话,A 国的人均产量是10吨,B 国则是16吨。

画出两国的生产可能性曲线并分析两国中哪一国拥有生产大米的绝对优势?哪一国拥有生产大米的比较优势? 思路:B 国由于每人能生产16吨大米,而A 国每人仅生产10吨大米,所以B 国具有生产大米的绝对优势。

从两国生产可能性曲线看出A 国生产大米的机会成本为0.2,而B 国为0.125,所以B 国生产大米的机会成本或相对成本低于A 国,B 国生产大米具有比较优势。

4.得到好处,5. 假中国总劳动为各国生产计算机的机会成本。

(2) 哪个国家具有生产计算机的比较优势?哪个国家具有生产小麦的比较优势?(3) 如果给定世界价格是1单位计算机交换22单位的小麦,加拿大参与贸易可以从每单位的进口中节省多少劳动时间?中国可以从每单位进口中节省多少劳动时间?如果给定世界价格是1单位计算机交换24单位的小麦,加拿大和中国分别可以从进口每单位的货物中节省多少劳动时间?(4) 在自由贸易的情况下,各国应生产什么产品,数量是多少?整个世界的福利水平是提高还是降低了?试用图分析。

国际经济学(克鲁格曼)课后习题答案1-8章

第一章练习与答案1.为什么说在决定生产和消费时,相对价格比绝对价格更重要?答案提示:当生产处于生产边界线上,资源则得到了充分利用,这时,要想增加某一产品的生产,必须降低另一产品的生产,也就是说,增加某一产品的生产是有机会机本(或社会成本)的。

生产可能性边界上任何一点都表示生产效率和充分就业得以实现,但究竟选择哪一点,则还要看两个商品的相对价格,即它们在市场上的交换比率。

相对价格等于机会成本时,生产点在生产可能性边界上的位置也就确定了。

所以,在决定生产和消费时,相对价格比绝对价格更重要。

2.仿效图1—6和图1—7,试推导出Y商品的国民供给曲线和国民需求曲线。

答案提示:3.在只有两种商品的情况下,当一个商品达到均衡时,另外一个商品是否也同时达到均衡?试解释原因。

答案提示:4.如果生产可能性边界是一条直线,试确定过剩供给(或需求)曲线。

答案提示:5.如果改用Y商品的过剩供给曲线(B国)和过剩需求曲线(A 国)来确定国际均衡价格,那么所得出的结果与图1—13中的结果是否一致?答案提示:国际均衡价格将依旧处于贸易前两国相对价格的中间某点。

6.说明贸易条件变化如何影响国际贸易利益在两国间的分配。

答案提示:一国出口产品价格的相对上升意味着此国可以用较少的出口换得较多的进口产品,有利于此国贸易利益的获得,不过,出口价格上升将不利于出口数量的增加,有损于出口国的贸易利益;与此类似,出口商品价格的下降有利于出口商品数量的增加,但是这意味着此国用较多的出口换得较少的进口产品。

对于进口国来讲,贸易条件变化对国际贸易利益的影响是相反的。

7.如果国际贸易发生在一个大国和一个小国之间,那么贸易后,国际相对价格更接近于哪一个国家在封闭下的相对价格水平?答案提示:贸易后,国际相对价格将更接近于大国在封闭下的相对价格水平。

8.根据上一题的答案,你认为哪个国家在国际贸易中福利改善程度更为明显些?答案提示:小国。

9*.为什么说两个部门要素使用比例的不同会导致生产可能性边界曲线向外凸?答案提示:第二章答案1.根据下面两个表中的数据,确定(1)贸易前的相对价格;(2)比较优势型态。

国际经济学课后答案

国际经济学课后答案

第三章复习题(1),本国共有1200单位的劳动,能生产两种产品:苹果和香蕉。

苹果的单位产品劳动投入是3,香蕉的单位劳动产品投入时2。

a.画出本国的生产可能性边界。

b.用香蕉衡量的苹果的机会成本是多少?c.贸易前,苹果对香蕉的相对价格是多少?为什么?答:a.本国的生产可能性边界曲线是一条直线,在400(1200/3)处与苹果轴相截,在600(1200/2)处与香蕉轴相截,如图2-7所示。

b.用香蕉衡量苹果的机会成本是3/2。

生产1单位苹果需要3单位的劳动,生产1单位香蕉需要2单位的劳动。

如果放弃1单位苹果的生产,这将释放出3单位的劳动。

这2单位的劳动可以被用来图2-7 本国生产可能生产3/2单位的香蕉。

c.劳动的流动性可以使得各个部门的工资趋同,竞争可以使得商品的价格等于它们的生产成本。

这样,相对价格等于相对成本,而相对成本等于工资乘以苹果的单位劳动产品投入。

因为各个部门工资相等,所以价格比率等于单位产品劳动投入的比率,即生产苹果所需的3单位劳动与生产香蕉所需的2单位劳动比率。

(2)假设本国的情况和习题1相同。

外国拥有800单位的劳动,外国苹果的单位劳动投入是5,香蕉的单位产品劳动投入是1。

a.画出外国的生产可能性边界。

b.画出世界相对供给曲线。

答:a.外国的生产可能性边界曲线是一条直线,在160(800/5)处与苹果轴相截,在800(800/1)处与香蕉轴相截。

如图2-8所示。

b.世界相对供给曲线可以由苹果和香蕉的相对价格和相对供给量绘出。

如图2-9。

从图2-9可以看出,苹果对香蕉的最低相对价格是3/2,在这个价格上,苹果的世界相对供给曲线是水平的。

在3/2的相对价格上,本国对苹果的最大供给量是400,外国对香蕉的供给量是800,这时,相对供给量为1/2。

只要相对价格保持在3/2和5之间,相对供给量就不变。

如果相对价格成为5,两个国家都会生产苹果,香蕉的产量为零。

这时,相对供给曲线是水平的。

所以,从图2-9中可以看出,相对价格为3/2时,相对供给在0到1/2之间;相对价格在3/2和5之间时,相对供给保持1//2不变;当相对价格为5时,相对供给从1/2图2-9 世界相对供图2-8 外国生产可能曲到无穷大。

第1篇国际贸易理论第2章世界贸易概览一、概念题1>(发展中国家(developing countries)答:发展中国家是与发达国家相对的经济上比较落后的国家,又称“欠发达国家”或“落后国家”。

通常指第三世界国家,包括亚洲、非洲、拉丁美洲及其他地区的130多个国家。

衡量一国是否为发展中国家的具体标准有很多种,如经济学家刘易斯和世界银行均提出过界定发展中国家的标准。

一般而言,凡人均收入低于美国人均收入的五分之一的国家就被定义为发展中国家。

比较贫困和落后是发展中国家的共同特点。

2>(服务外包(service outsourcing)答:服务外包是指企业将其非核心的业务外包出去,利用外部最优秀的专业化团队来承接其业务,从而使其专注于核心业务,达到降低成本、提高效率、增强企业核心竞争力和对环境应变能力的一种管理模式。

20世纪90年代以来,随着信息技术的迅速发展,特别是互联网的普遍存在及广泛应用,服务外包得到蓬勃发展。

从美国到英国,从欧洲到亚洲,无论是中小企业还是跨国公司,都把自己有限的资源集中于公司的核心能力上而将其余业务交给外部专业公司,服务外包成为“发达经济中不断成长的现象”。

3>(引力模型(gravity model)答:丁伯根和波伊赫能的引力模型基本表达式为:其中,是国与国的贸易额,为常量,是国的国内生产总值,是国的国内生产总值,是两国的距离。

、、三个参数是用来拟合实际的经济数据。

引力模型方程式表明:其他条件不变的情况下,两国间的贸易规模与两国的GDP成正比,与两国间的距离成反比。

把整个世界贸易看成整体,可利用引力模型来预测任意两国之间的贸易规模。

另外,引力模型也可以用来明确国际贸易中的异常现象。

4>(第三世界(third world)答:第三世界这个名词原本是指法国大革命中的Third Estate(第三阶级)。

克鲁格曼《国际经济学》第8版笔记和课后习题详解第5章标准贸易模型5.1复习笔记1.开放经济的标准模型标准贸易模型建立在四个重要关系的基础之上:生产可能性边界和相对供给曲线之间的关系;相对价格和相对需求之间的关系;贸易条件(一个国家出口产品的价格除以进口产品的价格)对国家福利的影响;确定世界均衡的世界相对供给与相对需求之间的关系。

以下将逐一进行介绍。

(1)生产可能性边界和相对供给如图5-1所示,曲线TT 为一国的生产可能性边界。

点Q 是生产点,位于生产可能性边界所能接触到的最高的一条等价值线上。

图5-1产品相对价格确定社会产出可以在图5-1上用一系列等价值线来表示市场的产出价值,离原点越远的等价值线对应的产出价值就越高。

假定/C F P P 上升,则等价值线会变陡。

如图5-2所示,当棉布的相对价格从()1/C F P P 上升到()2/C F P P (从1VV 移动到2VV )时,等价值线变陡。

这时,社会将生产更多的棉布和更少的粮食,均衡产出点将从点1Q 移动到点2Q 。

图5-2棉布相对价格的上升如何影响相对供给(2)相对价格和相对需求如图5-3所示,点Q 是生产点,点D 是消费点。

该国生产的棉布比消费的棉布多,因而出口棉布;相应的,消费的粮食比生产的粮食多,因而进口粮食。

图5-3标准模型中的生产、消费和贸易图5-4说明了相对价格/C F P P 上升所产生的影响。

当相对价格/C F P P 上升时,所有的等价值曲线变得更陡,最大价值线会从1VV 移到2VV ;生产点会从点1Q 移动到点2Q ;消费点会从点1D 移动到点2D 。

图5-4棉布相对价格上升产生的影响从点1D 到点2D 的移动反映了/C F P P 上升所产生的两个影响:①消费移动到了一条更高的无差异曲线上,社会福利改善了——收入效应。

②相对价格的变动会使得消费点随无差异曲线向靠近粮食、背离棉布的方向移动——替代效应。

(3)贸易条件改变对福利的影响贸易条件对国家福利的影响可以在图5-4中得到说明。

国际经济学课后习题及答案(2)

第一章国际贸易理论的微观基础1.为什么说在决定生产和消费时,相对价格比绝对价格更重要?答案提示:当生产处于生产边界线上,资源则得到了充分利用,这时,要想增加某一产品的生产,必须降低另一产品的生产,也就是说,增加某一产品的生产是有机会机本(或社会成本)的。

生产可能性边界上任何一点都表示生产效率和充分就业得以实现,但究竟选择哪一点,则还要看两个商品的相对价格,即它们在市场上的交换比率。

相对价格等于机会成本时,生产点在生产可能性边界上的位置也就确定了。

所以,在决定生产和消费时,相对价格比绝对价格更重要。

2.仿效图1—6和图1—7,试推导出Y商品的国民供给曲线和国民需求曲线。

答案提示:参照教材中第一章第二节(第26页)的内容,将图1-6(a)中,以横坐标表示Y商品的供给,以纵坐标表示X商品供给,得出相应的生产可能性曲线;然后将图1-6(b)中,以横坐标表示Y商品的供给,以纵坐标表示Y的相对价格P Y/P X,通过类似推导可得出国民供给曲线,国民需求曲线做类似推导即可求出。

3.在只有两种商品的情况下,当一个商品达到均衡时,另外一个商品是否也同时达到均衡?试解释原因。

答案提示:两种商品同时达到均衡。

当一种商品达到均衡时,该商品的相对价格、均衡供给与需求、均衡状态下对生产要素的需求与供给都得以确定,则可得到另一种商品的相对价格、生产要素需求,从而确定该商品的均衡状态下供给和需求。

4.如果生产可能性边界是一条直线,试确定过剩供给(或需求)曲线。

答案提示:参照教材图1-12、图1-13国民供给曲线与国民需求曲线的推导;过剩供给(或需求)曲线的形状,参见教材第30页。

5.如果改用Y商品的过剩供给曲线(B国)和过剩需求曲线(A国)来确定国际均衡价格,那么所得出的结果与图1—13中的结果是否一致?答案提示:相一致。

国际均衡价格将依旧处于贸易前两国相对价格的中间某点。

6.说明贸易条件变化如何影响国际贸易利益在两国间的分配。

国际经济学第五章___标准贸易模型

国际经济学第五章___标准贸易模型

第五章标准贸易模型第一节开放经济的标准模型一、对以前模型的概述前面已经分析介绍了三个不同的模型。

每一个模型对生产可能性的决定因素都作了不同的假设。

为了突出重点,每一个模型都略去了其他模型强调的现实中的一些方面。

这些模型有:1.李嘉图模型。

生产可能性由单一要素(劳动)在两个部门的分配情况所决定。

该模型阐述的实质观点是比较优势,但无法让我们对收入的分配进行讨论。

2.特定要素模型。

当劳动可以在不同的部门之间自由流动时,其他的要素对于具体的产业而言都是特定的。

对于理解收入分配来说,这是个理想的模型,但难以用来讨论贸易模式。

3.赫克歇尔—俄林模型。

生产中的多种要素可以在部门之间自由移动。

该模型比前两个模型都难以掌握,但对于资源是如何决定贸易模式有一个更深的理解。

在分析实际问题时,我们要将结论建立在所有模型综合的基础上。

例如;20世纪80年代国际贸易的主要变动是日本,韩国和台湾的出口迅猛增长。

这些国家或地区都经历了劳动生产率的迅速发展。

要讨论劳动生产率增长所产生的影响,我们可以应用第2章的李嘉图模型。

贸易模式的变动对美国的不同集团有不同的影响。

要理解环太平洋贸易的增长对美国收入分配的影响,我们需要应用第3章的特定要素模型。

最后,经过一段时期的发展,新兴工业化国家的资源结构已经发生了变化。

由于它们积聚资本,提高劳动力的受教育水平,从而使非技术工人变成了稀缺要素。

为了理解这一变动产生的影响,我们要转向赫克歇尔一俄林模型。

尽管这些模型有许多具体区别,但都有着以下几个共同特点:l.社会的生产能力可以用生产可能性边界来表示,生产可能性边界的不同导致了贸易的产生。

2.生产可能性边界确定了一个国家或地区的相对供给曲线。

3.世界相对需求曲线和位于各国相对供给曲线之间的世界相对供给曲线确定了世界均衡点。

由于这些共同特点,我们可以将已经研究过的模型看成是一个更具一般性的世界贸易模型的特例。

这个一般性模型可用于分析国际经济学中的一些重要课题。

第5章标准贸易模型一、概念题1.偏向型增长(biased growth)答:偏向型增长是指生产可能性边界在一个方向上扩张的幅度大于在另一方向上扩张的幅度的一种经济增长方式。

经济发生偏向型增长的原因有:某个生产部门技术的进步;某种生产要素供给的增加或国家利用资源效率的提高等等。

在其他条件不变时,偏向型增长的直接影响是导致偏向扩张的产品的世界相对供给增加。

例如,图5-1(a)说明了偏向于X产品的经济增长,图5-1(b)说明了偏向于Y产品的经济增长。

图5-1 偏向型增长2.内部价格(internal price)答:内部价格是“外部价格”的对称,是指在国际贸易中相对于国际市场价格的产品的国内市场价格。

在各国的贸易活动中,政府经常借助于各种关税或补贴等政策措施来实现有利于本国经济的目标。

这些贸易政策会导致同种产品在国内市场和国际市场上具有不同的价格,其中产品在国内市场上的价格称为“内部价格”,而相对于国内市场价格的国际市场价格称为“外部价格”。

3.出口偏向型增长(export-biased growth)答:出口偏向型增长是指一国的经济增长主要源于出口产品生产能力提高的增长方式,表现在生产可能性边界上就是使生产可能性边界扩张偏向于出口产品。

一国的经济增长意味着该国生产能力的提高,从而使该国能够生产更多的产品。

对于不同产品而言,其生产能力的提高幅度可能是不相同的。

如果一国出口产品生产能力的提高幅度超过了其他类产品,那么这种经济增长方式就是出口偏向型增长。

4.等价值线(iso value lines)答:等价值线是描述市场产出价值的曲线,同一条等价值线的产出价值相等且不变。

例如,如图5-2所示,有两种产品A和B,价格分别是A P和B P,产量是A Q和B Q,那么等价值线是由等式A A B B+=所确定的。

V越大,等价值线的位置离原点越远,对应的产P Q P Q V出价值就越高。

图5-2 等价值线5.出口补贴(export subsidy)答:出口补贴是指国家为了降低出口商品的价格,提高其在国际市场上的竞争能力,对出口商品给予的现金补贴或财政上的优惠待遇。

国际经济学部分答案(详细解答过程)

国际经济学部分答案(详细解答过程)

国际经济学习题答案第一章1.为什么说在决定生产和消费时,相对价格比绝对价格更重要?答案提示:当生产处于生产边界线上,资源则得到了充分利用,这时,要想增加某一产品的生产,必须降低另一产品的生产,也就是说,增加某一产品的生产是有机会机本(或社会成本)的。

生产可能性边界上任何一点都表示生产效率和充分就业得以实现,但究竟选择哪一点,则还要看两个商品的相对价格,即它们在市场上的交换比率。

相对价格等于机会成本时,生产点在生产可能性边界上的位置也就确定了。

所以,在决定生产和消费时,相对价格比绝对价格更重要2.仿效图1—6和图1—7,试推导出Y商品的国民供给曲线和国民需求曲线。

答:参见教材第一章第二节内容,将图1-6a中,以横坐标表示y商品的供给,以纵坐标表示x商品供给,得出相应生产可能性边界线,然后将图1-6b中,以横坐标表示y商品供给,以纵坐标表示y的相对价格,通过类似推导可得出国民供给曲线,国民需求曲线作类似推导可得。

3.在只有两种商品的情况下,当一个商品达到均衡时,另外一个商品是否也同时达到均衡?答:两种商品同时达到均衡。

一种商品均衡时,由其相对价格,机会成本,需求可知另一种商品得相对价格,机会成本和需求。

4.如果生产可能性边界是一条直线,试确定过剩供给(或需求)曲线。

答案提示:略,参见书上5.如果改用Y商品的过剩供给曲线(B国)和过剩需求曲线(A国)来确定国际均衡价格,那么所得出的结果与图1—13中的结果是否一致?答案提示:国际均衡价格将依旧处于贸易前两国相对价格的中间某点。

6.说明贸易条件变化如何影响国际贸易利益在两国间的分配。

答案提示:一国出口产品价格的相对上升意味着此国可以用较少的出口换得较多的进口产品,有利于此国贸易利益的获得,不过,出口价格上升将不利于出口数量的增加,有损于出口国的贸易利益;与此类似,出口商品价格的下降有利于出口商品数量的增加,但是这意味着此国用较多的出口换得较少的进口产品。

第五章 标准贸易模型
1、
答:如图,贸易后,两国原先的无差异曲线都移动到了更高的无差异曲线上,两国人民都更幸福,社会福利增加。

2、
答:(a )如左图,假如过度捕鱼引起的鱼产量大幅度减少,则挪威的生产可能性边界发生变化,导致等价值线向下移动,相应的无差异曲线移动到了较低的水平上,导致福利下降。

(b )如右图,当过度捕鱼引起鱼的产量减少,在市场上鱼的供给减少,导致相对价格上升,上升到一定程度不仅可以弥补鱼的产量损失,甚至会带来福利的上升。

3、
答:如图,以粮食和棉布为例,当生产可能性边界是直角时,贸易条件改善增进了本国福利。

生产点位于直角顶点,消费点是等价值线和无差异曲线的切点。

贸易条件的改善使得等价值线的截距增加,即等价值线直角顶点向外偏转(由于没有流动要素,生产点固定)。

到获得了更高的无差异曲线,从直观上来看,产出并没有发生变化,经济体获益主要是通过相对于进口产品购买力的增加来实现的。

4、
答:由于购买产品比例是固定的,所以无差异曲线是直角形状。

贸易条件的改善使该国达到了更高的无差异曲线。

无差异曲线沿着从原点出发的射线移动,其顶点始终在该射线上,射线的斜率为两种产品的比例,贸易条件的改善使无差异曲线远离原点。

5、答:日本贸易条件是制造品价格比去原材料价格的相对价格,贸易条件的变动由相对供给和相对需求的变动决定。

(a )中东石油供应的紧缺使得原材料的供给减少,这导致了制造品的相对供给增加,RS 曲线向右移动,制造品的相对价格下降,日本的贸易条件恶化。

(b )韩国扩展了汽车生产能力增加了世界汽车的总供给,使得世界汽车的相对供给增加了,RS 曲线向右移动,世界市场上汽车的相对价格下降了,日本的贸易条件恶化了。

(c )美国工程师以核反应堆代替石油燃料发电厂,减少了对石油,即原材料的需求,这导致了原材料相对价格的下降,RD 曲线向右移动,制造品的相对需求上升和相对价格上升,日本的贸易条件得以改善。

由于原材料的需求下降了,即使核反应堆没有建在日本,这种情况仍会发生。

(d )俄罗斯农业歉收减少了世界原材料的总供给,使得世界制造品的相对供给增加,RS 曲线向外移动;与此同时,俄罗斯对制造品的需求减少了,使得世界相对需求减少了,RD 曲线向内移动。

日本的贸易条件恶化了。

(e )降低关税是国内制造品相对价格上升了,增加了国内制造品的相对供给,减少了相对需求;与此同时,增加了世界制造品的相对供给并减少了世界相对需求。

世界RS 曲线向外移动,RD 曲线向内移动,制造品的世界相对价格下降了,日本的贸易条恶化了。

6、
s M USA
F C
答:如图,可出口性服务的相对价格下降导致等价值线顺时针旋转,导致美国将生产更少的服务和更多的制造品,所以无差异曲线移动到了较低的程度上,降低了福利。

7、答:当一种生产要素增加时,会发生偏向型增长。

资本存量的增加使X产品的产出相对增加,而劳动力的增加使Y产品的产出相对增加。

在赫克歇尔—俄林模型中,各国倾向于出口密集使用本国相对充裕要素的产品。

出口偏向型增长所带来的贸易条件恶化是否会成为福利恶化型增长,没有明确的结论。

进口偏向型增长带来的贸易条件的改善的确实会使得异国福利增加。

(a)A国的贸易条恶化,福利仍会改善,但在极端条件下可能恶化;B国的贸易条件及福利都改善了。

(b)A国的贸易条件及福利都改善了;B国的贸易条件和福利都恶化了。

(c)B国的贸易条件及福利都改善了;A国的贸易条件及福利都恶化了。

(d)B国的贸易条恶化,福利仍会改善,但在极端条件下可能恶化;A国的贸易条件及福利都改善了
8、答:福利恶化型增长的条件非常极端:RS和RD曲线必须非常陡峭,经济增长对出口产品的偏向非常强,该经济体在世界经济中的比重必须大到足以令其出口偏向型增长使其贸易条件大幅度恶化,以至于贸易条件的恶化足以抵消生产能力的提高所带来正面效应。

因此这种增长在现实中是不太可能存在的。

9.答:印度的开放有利于美国,如果它降低了中国出口到美国商品的相对价格,因此就提高了美国出口商品的相对价格。

虽然美国本土被与中国的贸易损害的部门会同样被与印度的贸易损害,但总体上来说,美国是获利的。

印度与中国出口的商品具有一定相似性,其加入与美贸易,会使得对美出口商品的总供给量增加,从而压低中国对美出口的商品的相对价格,导致中国福利损失。

10、答:这种援助条件对于收入转移问题的分析没有太大影响,从援助国角度来看该条件有一定现实意义。

必须购买援助国出口品的援助增加了援助国出口品的相对需求,使其相对价格上升,在该种情况下,受援国的贸易条件恶化了。

受援国福利条件恶化是转移支付的一种极端的情况,和福利恶化型增长一样,转移支付恶化受援国福利只是一种理论上的可能。

11、答:假设有两个国家,A国和B国,如果A国对出口产品进行补贴,那么其出口的相对供给就会上升,而相对需求就会下降,贸易条件就会恶化,B国针锋相对的关税加剧了A贸易条件的恶化。

A国遭受了贸易条件恶化及国内市场价格扭曲的双重损失;B国既享受了A 国的贸易补贴,又获得了关税收益,使其贸易条件得到了双重改善。

如果B国也进行出口补贴,那么这将会抵消A国贸易补贴给B国带来的贸易条件的改善,从而在一定程度上改善了A国原本恶化的贸易条件,恶化了B国原本改善的贸易条件。
