曼昆微观经济学第六版第八章答案
曼昆微观经济学第六版第八章答案1．当对一种物品征税时，消费者和生产者剩余会发生什么变动? 与税收收入相比较，消费者剩余和生产者剩余如何变动?解释原因。
答：当对一种物品征税时，消费者和生产者剩余都会减少。
消费者剩余和生产者剩余的减少大于税收收入的增加。
税收扭曲了消费者和生产者的激励，引起市场配置资源时的无效率。
2．画出有物品销售税的供求图。
在图上标注无谓损失，标明税收收入。
答：如P163图8－3所示，对一种物品征税减少了消费者剩余(面积B+C表示减少量)和生产者剩余(面积D+E表示减少量)。
生产者和消费者剩余的减少大于税收收入(用面积B+D表示)，税收引起了无谓损失(用面积C+E表示)。
3．供给与需求弹性如何影响税收的无谓损失?为什么有这种影响?答：供给与需求曲线的弹性越大，税收的无谓损失越大；供给与需求曲线的弹性越小，税收的无谓损失越小。
因为供给和需求弹性衡量买者和卖者对价格变动的反应程度，决定了税收扭曲会使市场结果有多大变动。
4．当税收增加时，无谓损失和税收收入有什么变动?答：当税收增加时，无谓损失增加，并且无谓损失的增加要快于税收规模的增加。
税收增加时，税收收入先增加，然后随着税收规模越来越大，市场收缩非常之大，以至于税收收入开始减少。
问题与应用1．比萨饼市场的特征是需求曲线向右下方倾斜，供给曲线向右上方倾斜。
A．画出竞争市场均衡图。
标出价格、数量、消费者剩余和生产者剩余。
存在无谓损失吗？解释原因。
答：没有无谓损失。
自由竞争市场使供给与需求达到均衡点，在均衡状态下，总剩余达到最大，如图8－2。
图8－2 比萨饼市场均衡图B．假设政府令每个比萨饼店每卖出一个比萨饼交纳1美元税。
说明这种比萨饼税的影响，确定并标出消费者剩余、生产者剩余、政府收入以及无谓损失。
每块面积与税前相比有何变动? 答：这种比萨饼税使卖者得到的价格降低，买者支付的价格增加，销售量从Q1减少到Q2 。
消费者剩余由税收前的面积A+B+E 减少为税收后的面积A；生产者剩余由税收前的面积C+D+F 减少为税收后的面积D。

一、概念题无谓损失（deadweight loss）（北京师范大学2006、2009研；深圳大学2008研）答：无谓损失指税收（或其他某种政策）扭曲了市场结果时所引起的总剩余的减少。
如图8-1所示，对一种物品征税减少了消费者剩余（用面积B C+代表）和生产者剩余（用面积D E+代表）。
由于生产者剩余和消费者剩余的减少量大于税收收入（面积B D+），所以，税收引起了无谓损失（面积C E+）。
图8-1 无谓损失二、复习题1．当对一种物品征税时，消费者剩余和生产者剩余会发生怎样的变动？与税收收入相比较，消费者剩余和生产者剩余如何变动？解释原因。
答：（1）当对一种物品征税时，消费者剩余和生产者剩余都会减少。
（2）与税收收入的比较具体如图8-1所示。
对一种物品征税减少了消费者剩余（用面积B C+代表）。
由于生产者和消费者剩余的减少大于税+代表）和生产者剩余（用面积D E收收入（面积B D+），所以，税收引起了无谓损失（面积C E+）。
（3）税收引起无谓损失的原因是收扭曲了消费者的支付意愿和生产者的生产成本，使资源配置无效率，进而使社会总剩余减少。
市场通常可以有效地配置稀缺资源。
这就是说，供求均衡使市场上买者和卖者的总剩余最大化。
但是，当税收提高了买者的价格而降低了卖者的价格时，它对买者的激励是比没有税收时少消费，而对卖者的激励是比没有税收时少生产。
当买者和卖者对这些激励做出反应时，市场规模缩小到其最优水平之下。

一、概念题1．劳动效率（efficiency of labor）答：劳动效率是指单位劳动时间的产出水平，反映了社会对生产方法的掌握和熟练程度。
当可获得的技术改进时，劳动效率会提高。
当劳动力的健康、教育或技能得到改善时，劳动效率也会提高。
在索洛模型中，劳动效率（E）是表示技术进步的变量，反映了索洛模型劳动扩张型技术进步的思想：技术进步提高了劳动效率，就像增加了参与生产的劳动力数量一样，所以在生产函数中的劳动力数量上乘以一个劳动效率变量，形成了有效工人概念，这使得索洛模型在稳态分析中纳入了外生的技术进步。
2．劳动改善型技术进步（labor-augmenting technological progress）答：劳动改善型技术进步是指技术进步提高了劳动效率，就像增加了参与生产的劳动力数量一样，所以在生产函数中的劳动力数量上乘以一个劳动效率变量，以反映外生技术进步对经济增长的影响。
劳动改善型技术进步实际上认为技术进步是通过提高劳动效率而影响经济增长的。
它的引入形成了有效工人的概念，从而使得索洛模型能够以单位有效工人的资本和产量来进行稳定状态研究。
3．内生增长理论（endogenous growth theory）答：内生增长理论是用规模收益递增和内生技术进步来说明一个国家长期经济增长和各国增长率差异的一种经济理论，其重要特征就是试图使增长率内生化。
根据其依赖的基本假定条件的差异，可以将内生增长理论分为完全竞争条件下的内生增长模型和垄断竞争条件下的内生增长模型。
曼昆经济学原理英文版文案加习题答案8章说课讲解
曼昆经济学原理英文版文案加习题答案8章WHAT’S NEW IN THE S EVENTH EDITION:A new In the News box on “The Tax Debate ” has been added.LEARNING OBJECTIVES:By the end of this chapter, students should understand:➢ how taxes reduce consumer and producer surplus.➢ the meaning and causes of the deadweight loss from a tax.➢ why some taxes have larger deadweight losses than others.➢ how tax revenue and deadweight loss vary with the size of a tax.CONTEXT AND PURPOSE:Chapter 8 is the second chapter in a three-chapter sequence dealing with welfare economics. In theprevious section on supply and demand, Chapter 6 introduced taxes and demonstrated how a tax affects the price and quantity sold in a market. Chapter 6 also described the factors that determine how the burden of the tax is divided between the buyers and sellers in a market. Chapter 7 developed welfare economics —the study of how the allocation of resources affects economic well-being. Chapter 8 combines the lessons learned in Chapters 6 and 7 and addresses the effects of taxation on welfare. Chapter 9 will address the effects of trade restrictions on welfare.The purpose of Chapter 8 is to apply the lessons learned about welfare economics in Chapter 7 to the issue of taxation that was addressed in Chapter 6. Students will learn that the cost of a tax to buyers and sellers in a market exceeds the revenue collected by the government. Students will also learn about the factors that determine the degree by which the cost of a tax exceeds the revenue collected by the government.APPLICATION: THE COSTS OF TAXATIONKEY POINTS:• A tax on a good reduces the welfare of buyers and sellers of the good, and the reduction in consumer and producer surplus usually exceeds the revenue raised by the government. The fall in total surplus—the sum of consumer surplus, producer surplus, and tax revenue—is called the deadweight loss of the tax.•Taxes have deadweight losses because they cause buyers to consume less and sellers to produce less, and these changes in behavior shrink the size of the market below the level that maximizes total surplus. Because the elasticities of supply and demand measure how much market participants respond to market conditions, larger elasticities imply larger deadweight losses.•As a tax grows larger, it distorts incentives more, and its deadweight loss grows larger.Because a tax reduces the size of a market, however, tax revenue does not continuallyincrease. It first rises with the size of a tax, but if the tax gets large enough, tax revenue starts to fall.CHAPTER OUTLINE:I. The Deadweight Loss of TaxationA. Remember that it does not matter who a tax is levied on; buyers and sellers will likely share inthe burden of the tax.B. If there is a tax on a product, the price that a buyer pays will be greater than the price the sellerreceives. Thus, there is a tax wedge between the two prices and the quantity sold will be smaller if there was no tax.Figure 1C. How a Tax Affects Market Participants1. We can measure the effects of a tax on consumers by examining the change in consumersurplus. Similarly, we can measure the effects of the tax on producers by looking at the change in producer surplus.2. However, there is a third party that is affected by the tax —the government, which gets total tax revenue of T × Q. If the tax revenue is used to provide goods and services to the public,then the benefit from the tax revenue must not be ignored.3. Welfare without a Taxa. Consumer surplus is equal to: A + B + C.b. Producer surplus is equal to: D + E + F.c. Total surplus is equal to: A + B + C + D + E + F.4. Welfare with a TaxFigure 2 If you spent enough time covering consumer and producer surplus in Chapter7, students should have an easy time with this concept.Figure 3a. Consumer surplus is equal to: A.b. Producer surplus is equal to: F.c. Tax revenue is equal to: B + D.d. Total surplus is equal to: A + B + D + F.5. Changes in Welfarea. Consumer surplus changes by: –(B + C).b. Producer surplus changes by: –(D + E).c. Tax revenue changes by: +(B + D).d. Total surplus changes by: –(C + E).6. Definition of deadweight loss: the fall in total surplus that results from a marketdistortion, such as a tax.D. Deadweight Losses and the Gains from Trade1. Taxes cause deadweight losses because they prevent buyers and sellers from benefiting fromtrade.2. This occurs because the quantity of output declines; trades that would be beneficial to boththe buyer and seller will not take place because of the tax.3. The deadweight loss is equal to areas C and E (the drop in total surplus).4. Note that output levels between the equilibrium quantity without the tax and the quantitywith the tax will not be produced, yet the value of these units to consumers (represented by the demand curve) is larger than the cost of these units to producers (represented by thesupply curve).II. The Determinants of the Deadweight LossA. The price elasticities of supply and demand will determine the size of the deadweight loss that occurs from a tax.1. Given a stable demand curve, the deadweight loss is larger when supply is relatively elastic.2. Given a stable supply curve, the deadweight loss is larger when demand is relatively elastic.B. Case Study: The Deadweight Loss Debate1. Social Security tax and federal income tax are taxes on labor earnings. A labor tax places a tax wedge between the wage the firm pays and the wage that workers receive.2. There is considerable debate among economists concerning the size of the deadweight loss from this wage tax.Figure 53. The size of the deadweight loss depends on the elasticity of labor supply and demand, andthere is disagreement about the magnitude of the elasticity of supply.a. Economists who argue that labor taxes do not greatly distort market outcomes believethat labor supply is fairly inelastic.b. Economists who argue that labor taxes lead to large deadweight losses believe that laborsupply is more elastic.III. Deadweight Loss and Tax Revenue as Taxes VaryA. As taxes increase, the deadweight loss from the tax increases.B. In fact, as taxes increase, the deadweight loss rises more quickly than the size of the tax.1. The deadweight loss is the area of a triangle and the area of a triangle depends on the square of its size.2. If we double the size of a tax, the base and height of the triangle both double so the area of the triangle (the deadweight loss) rises by a factor of four.C. As the tax increases, the level of tax revenue will eventually fall.D. Case Study: The Laffer Curve and Supply-Side Economics1. The relationship between the size of a tax and the level of tax revenues is called a Laffercurve.2. Supply-side economists in the 1980s used the Laffer curve to support their belief that a dropin tax rates could lead to an increase in tax revenue for the government.3. Economists continue to debate Laffer’s argume nt.a. Many believe that the 1980s refuted Laffer’s theory.b. Others believe that the events of the 1980s tell a more favorable supply-side story.c. Some economists believe that, while an overall cut in taxes normally decreases revenue,some taxpayers may find themselves on the wrong side of the Laffer curve.E. In the News: The Tax Debate1. Recently, policymakers have debated the effects of increasing the tax rate, particularly onhigher-income taxpayers.ALTERNATIVE CLASSROOM EXAMPLE:Draw a graph showing the demand and supply of paper clips. (Draw each curve as a 45-degree line so that buyers and sellers will share any tax equally.) Mark theequilibrium price as $0.50 (per box) and the equilibrium quantity as 1,000 boxes. Show students the areas of producer and consumer surplus.Impose a $0.20 tax on each box. Assume that sellers are required to “pay” the tax to the government. Show students that:▪ the price buyers pay will rise to $0.60.▪ the price sellers receive will fall to $0.40.▪ the quantity of paper clips purchased will fall (assume to 800 units).▪ tax revenue would be equal to $160 ($0.20 800).Have students calculate the area of deadweight loss. (You may have to remindstudents how to calculate the area of a triangle.)2. These two opinion pieces from The Wall Street Journal present both sides of the issue.SOLUTIONS TO TEXT PROBLEMS:Quick Quizzes1. Figure 1 shows the supply and demand curves for cookies, with equilibrium quantity Q 1 andequilibrium price P 1. When the government imposes a tax on cookies, the price to buyers rises to P B , the price received by sellers declines to P S , and the equilibrium quantity falls to Q 2. The deadweight loss is the triangular area below the demand curve and above the supply curve between quantities Q 1 and Q 2. The deadweight loss shows the fall in total surplus that results from the tax.Figure 12. The deadweight loss of a tax is greater the greater is the elasticity of demand. Therefore, a tax on beer would have a larger deadweight loss than a tax on milk because the demand forbeer is more elastic than the demand for milk.B.Rank these taxes from smallest deadweight loss to largest deadweight loss.Lowest deadweight loss —tax on children, very inelastic Then —tax on food. Demand is inelastic; supply is elastic.Third —tax on vacation homes Demand is elastic; short-run supply is inelastic. Most deadweight loss —tax on jewelryDemand is elastic; supply is elastic.C. Is deadweight loss the only thing to consider when designing a tax system? No. This can generate a lively discussion. There are a variety of equity or fairnessconcerns. The taxes on children and on food would be regressive. Each of the taxeswould tax certain households at much higher rates than other households with similarincomes.3. If the government doubles the tax on gasoline, the revenue from the gasoline tax could riseor fall depending on whether the size of the tax is on the upward or downward slopingportion of the Laffer curve. However, if the government doubles the tax on gasoline, you canbe sure that the deadweight loss of the tax rises because deadweight loss always rises as thetax rate rises.Questions for Review1. When the sale of a good is taxed, both consumer surplus and producer surplus decline. Thedecline in consumer surplus and producer surplus exceeds the amount of governmentrevenue that is raised, so society's total surplus declines. The tax distorts the incentives ofboth buyers and sellers, so resources are allocated inefficiently.2. Figure 2 illustrates the deadweight loss and tax revenue from a tax on the sale of a good.Without a tax, the equilibrium quantity would be Q1, the equilibrium price would be P1,consumer surplus would be A + B + C, and producer surplus would be D + E + F. Theimposition of a tax places a wedge between the price buyers pay, P B, and the price sellersreceive, P S, where P B = P S + tax. The quantity sold declines to Q2. Now consumer surplus isA, producer surplus is F, and government revenue is B + D. The deadweight loss of the tax isC+E, because that area is lost due to the decline in quantity from Q1 to Q2.Figure 23. The greater the elasticities of demand and supply, the greater the deadweight loss of a tax.Because elasticity measures the responsiveness of buyers and sellers to a change in price,higher elasticity means the tax induces a greater reduction in quantity, and therefore, agreater distortion to the market.4. Experts disagree about whether labor taxes have small or large deadweight losses becausethey have different views about the elasticity of labor supply. Some believe that labor supplyis inelastic, so a tax on labor has a small deadweight loss. But others think that workers canadjust their hours worked in various ways, so labor supply is elastic, and thus a tax on laborhas a large deadweight loss.5. The deadweight loss of a tax rises more than proportionally as the tax rises. Tax revenue,however, may increase initially as a tax rises, but as the tax rises further, revenue eventuallydeclines.Quick Check Multiple Choice1. a2. b3. c4. a5. b6. aProblems and Applications1. a. Figure 3 illustrates the market for pizza. The equilibrium price is P1, the equilibriumquantity is Q1, consumer surplus is area A + B + C, and producer surplus is area D + E +F. There is no deadweight loss, as all the potential gains from trade are realized; totalsurplus is the entire area between the demand and supply curves: A + B + C + D + E +F.Figure 3b. With a $1 tax on each pizza sold, the price paid by buyers, P B, is now higher than theprice received by sellers, P S, where P B = P S + $1. The quantity declines to Q2, consumersurplus is area A, producer surplus is area F, government revenue is area B + D, anddeadweight loss is area C + E. Consumer surplus declines by B + C, producer surplusdeclines by D + E, government revenue increases by B + D, and deadweight lossincreases by C + E.c. If the tax were removed and consumers and producers voluntarily transferred B + D tothe government to make up for the lost tax revenue, then everyone would be better offthan without the tax. The equilibrium quantity would be Q1, as in the case without thetax, and the equilibrium price would be P1. Consumer surplus would be A + C, becauseconsumers get surplus of A + B + C, then voluntarily transfer B to the government.Producer surplus would be E + F, because producers get surplus of D + E + F, thenvoluntarily transfer D to the government. Both consumers and producers are better offthan the case when the tax was imposed. If consumers and producers gave a little bitmore than B + D to the government, then all three parties, including the government,would be better off. This illustrates the inefficiency of taxation.2. a. The statement, "A tax that has no deadweight loss cannot raise any revenue for thegovernment," is incorrect. An example is the case of a tax when either supply or demand is perfectly inelastic. The tax has neither an effect on quantity nor any deadweight loss, but it does raise revenue.b. The statement, "A tax that raises no revenue for the government cannot have anydeadweight loss," is incorrect. An example is the case of a 100% tax imposed on sellers.With a 100% tax on their sales of the good, sellers will not supply any of the good, sothe tax will raise no revenue. Yet the tax has a large deadweight loss, because it reduces the quantity sold to zero.3. a. With very elastic supply and very inelastic demand, the burden of the tax on rubberbands will be borne largely by buyers. As Figure 4 shows, consumer surplus declinesconsiderably, by area A + B, but producer surplus decreases only by area C+D..Figure 4 Figure 5b.With very inelastic supply and very elastic demand, the burden of the tax onrubber bands will be borne largely by sellers. As Figure 5 shows, consumersurplus does not decline much, just by area A + B, while producer surplus fallssubstantially, by area C + D. Compared to part (a), producers bear much more of the burden of the tax, and consumers bear much less.4. a. The deadweight loss from a tax on heating oil is likely to be greater in the fifth year afterit is imposed rather than the first year. In the first year, the demand for heating oil isrelatively inelastic, as people who own oil heaters are not likely to get rid of them rightaway. But over time they may switch to other energy sources and people buying newheaters for their homes will more likely choose gas or electric, so the tax will have agreater impact on quantity. Thus, the deadweight loss of the tax will get larger over time.b. The tax revenue is likely to be higher in the first year after it is imposed than in the fifthyear. In the first year, demand is more inelastic, so the quantity does not decline asmuch and tax revenue is relatively high. As time passes and more people substitute away from oil, the quantity sold declines, as does tax revenue.5. Because the demand for food is inelastic, a tax on food is a good way to raise revenuebecause it leads to a small deadweight loss; thus taxing food is less inefficient than taxing other things. But it is not a good way to raise revenue from an equity point of view, because poorer people spend a higher proportion of their income on food. The tax would affect them more than it would affect wealthier people.6. a. This tax has such a high rate that it is not likely to raise much revenue. Because of thehigh tax rate, the equilibrium quantity in the market is likely to be at or near zero.b. Senator Moynihan's goal was probably to ban the use of hollow-tipped bullets. In thiscase, the tax could be as effective as an outright ban.7. a. Figure 6 illustrates the market for socks and the effects of the tax. Without a tax, theequilibrium quantity would be Q1, the equilibrium price would be P1, total spending byconsumers equals total revenue for producers, which is P1 x Q1, which equals area B + C + D + E + F, and government revenue is zero. The imposition of a tax places a wedgebetween the price buyers pay, P B, and the price sellers receive, P S, where P B = P S + tax.The quantity sold declines to Q2. Now total spending by consumers is P B x Q2, whichequals area A + B + C + D, total revenue for producers is P S x Q2, which is area C + D,and government tax revenue is Q2 x tax, which is area A + B.b. Unless supply is perfectly elastic or demand is perfectly inelastic, the price received byproducers falls because of the tax. Total receipts for producers fall, because producerslose revenue equal to area B + E + F.Figure 6c. The price paid by consumers rises, unless demand is perfectly elastic or supply isperfectly inelastic. Whether total spending by consumers rises or falls depends on theprice elasticity of demand. If demand is elastic, the percentage decline in quantityexceeds the percentage increase in price, so total spending declines. If demand isinelastic, the percentage decline in quantity is less than the percentage increase in price,so total spending rises. Whether total consumer spending falls or rises, consumer surplusdeclines because of the increase in price and reduction in quantity.8. Figure 7 illustrates the effects of the $2 subsidy on a good. Without the subsidy, theequilibrium price is P1 and the equilibrium quantity is Q1. With the subsidy, buyers pay priceP B, producers receive price P S (where P S = P B + $2), and the quantity sold is Q2. Thefollowing table illustrates the effect of the subsidy on consumer surplus, producer surplus,government revenue, and total surplus. Because total surplus declines by area D + H, thesubsidy leads to a deadweight loss in that amount.BeforeSubsidyAfter Subsidy ChangeConsumerSurplus A + B A + B + E + F + G +(E + F + G)ProducerSurplus E + I B + C + E + I +(B + C)Government Revenue 0 –(B + C + D + E + F + G +H)–(B + C + D + E + F + G +H)Total Surplus A + B + E + I A + B – D + E – H + I –(D + H)Figure 79. a. Figure 8 shows the effect of a $10 tax on hotel rooms. The tax revenue is represented byareas A + B, which are equal to ($10)(900) = $9,000. The deadweight loss from the tax is represented by areas C + D, which are equal to (0.5)($10)(100) = $500.Figure 8 Figure 9b. Figure 9 shows the effect of a $20 tax on hotel rooms. The tax revenue is represented byareas A + B, which are equal to ($20)(800) = $16,000. The deadweight loss from the tax is represented by areas C + D, which are equal to (0.5)($20)(200) = $2,000.When the tax is doubled, the tax revenue rises by less than double, while thedeadweight loss rises by more than double. The higher tax creates a greaterdistortion to the market.10. a. Setting quantity supplied equal to quantity demanded gives 2P = 300 –P. Adding P toboth sides of the equation gives 3P = 300. Dividing both sides by 3 gives P = 100.Substituting P = 100 back into either equation for quantity demanded or supplied gives Q = 200.b. Now P is the price received by sellers and P +T is the price paid by buyers. Equatingquantity demanded to quantity supplied gives 2P = 300 − (P+T). Adding P to both sides of the equation gives 3P = 300 –T. Dividing both sides by 3 gives P = 100 –T/3. This is the price received by sellers. The buyers pay a price equal to the price received by sellers plus the tax (P +T = 100 + 2T/3). The quantity sold is now Q = 2P = 200 – 2T/3.c. Because tax revenue is equal to T x Q and Q = 200 – 2T/3, tax revenue equals 200T−2T2/3. Figure 10 (on the next page) shows a graph of this relationship. Tax revenue iszero at T = 0 and at T = 300.Figure 10 Figure 11d. As Figure 11 shows, the area of the triangle (laid on its side) that represents thedeadweight loss is 1/2 × base × height, where the base is the change in the price, which is the size of the tax (T) and the height is the amount of the decline in quantity (2T/3).So the deadweight loss equals 1/2 ×T × 2T/3 = T2/3. This rises exponentially from 0 (when T = 0) to 30,000 when T = 300, as shown in Figure 12.Figure 12e. A tax of $200 per unit is a bad policy, because tax revenue is declining at that tax level.The government could reduce the tax to $150 per unit, get more tax revenue ($15,000 when the tax is $150 versus $13,333 when the tax is $200), and reduce the deadweight loss (7,500 when the tax is $150 compared to 13,333 when the tax is $200).。

一、概念题无谓损失（）（北京师范大学2006、2009研；深圳大学2008研）答：无谓损失指税收（或其他某种政策）扭曲了市场结果时所引起的总剩余的减少。
如图8-1所示，对一种物品征税减少了消费者剩余（用面积B C+代表）和生产者剩余（用面积D E+代表）。
由于生产者剩余和消费者剩余的减少量大于税收收入（面积+），所以，税收引起了无谓损失（面积C E+）。
B D图8-1 无谓损失二、复习题1．当对一种物品征税时，消费者剩余和生产者剩余会发生怎样的变动？与税收收入相比较，消费者剩余和生产者剩余如何变动？解释原因。
答：（1）当对一种物品征税时，消费者剩余和生产者剩余都会减少。
（2）与税收收入的比较具体如图8-1所示。
对一种物品征税减少了消费者剩余（用面积B C+代表）和生产者剩余（用面积D E+代表）。
由于生产者和消费者剩余的减少大于税收收入（面积B D+），所以，税收引起了无谓损失（面积C E+）。
（3）税收引起无谓损失的原因是收扭曲了消费者的支付意愿和生产者的生产成本，使资源配置无效率，进而使社会总剩余减少。
市场通常可以有效地配置稀缺资源。
这就是说，供求均衡使市场上买者和卖者的总剩余最大化。
但是，当税收提高了买者的价格而降低了卖者的价格时，它对买者的激励是比没有税收时少消费，而对卖者的激励是比没有税收时少生产。
当买者和卖者对这些激励做出反应时，市场规模缩小到其最优水平之下。

一、概念题无谓损失（deadweight loss）（北京师范大学2006、2009研；深圳大学2008研）答：无谓损失指税收（或其他某种政策）扭曲了市场结果时所引起的总剩余的减少。
如图8-1所示，对一种物品征税减少了消费者剩余（用面积B C+代表）和生产者剩余（用面积D E+代表）。
由于生产者剩余和消费者剩余的减少量大于税收收入（面积B D+），所以，税收引起了无谓损失（面积C E+）。
图8-1 无谓损失二、复习题1．当对一种物品征税时，消费者剩余和生产者剩余会发生怎样的变动？与税收收入相比较，消费者剩余和生产者剩余如何变动？解释原因。
答：（1）当对一种物品征税时，消费者剩余和生产者剩余都会减少。
（2）与税收收入的比较具体如图8-1所示。
对一种物品征税减少了消费者剩余（用面积B C+代表）。
由于生产者和消费者剩余的减少大于税+代表）和生产者剩余（用面积D E收收入（面积B D+），所以，税收引起了无谓损失（面积C E+）。
（3）税收引起无谓损失的原因是收扭曲了消费者的支付意愿和生产者的生产成本，使资源配置无效率，进而使社会总剩余减少。
市场通常可以有效地配置稀缺资源。
这就是说，供求均衡使市场上买者和卖者的总剩余最大化。
但是，当税收提高了买者的价格而降低了卖者的价格时，它对买者的激励是比没有税收时少消费，而对卖者的激励是比没有税收时少生产。
当买者和卖者对这些激励做出反应时，市场规模缩小到其最优水平之下。
曼昆《经济学原理》答案解析(DOC)
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。

3．建立适当的制度
• 产权制度
•
•
政治制度
法律制度 ……
4．鼓励技术进步
• 知识产权保护
•
•
优惠的税收
对R&D的财政支持
四、超越索洛模型：内生增长理论
——索洛模型中，技术进步是外生给定
的，无法解释技术进步的机理。
——内生增长理论试图解释技术进步
以及对经济增长的作用。
1．基本模型
——生产函数 Y=AK 资本的边际产量不变，MPK=A 这是与索洛模型生产函数根本的不同 如果把知识也当做资本，其边际产出 是递增的，那么上述假设更加反映现实。
移，但总产出也不断增长。
•
两部门模型也与索洛模型类似 如果u 不变，E 的增长速度g(u)就不
变,模型与上一章加入技术进步的索洛模
型一致
• 两部门模型中，u 影响稳定状态的产出
增长率。u 和s 都影响收入水平。
3．关于R&D
• 企业的R&D行为 由于R&D具有公共产品的性质，有外 部溢出性，企业的R&D投入往往低于社会 最佳水平。 熊彼特：“经济进步是通过一个‘创 造性破坏’过程来实现的”。
引起经济的长期增长。新古典经济增长理论 的结论则是经济增长取决于外生的技术进步， 而储蓄只会导致经济的暂时增长，资本边际 收益递减最终使经济增长只取决于外生技术 进步的稳定状态。
本章小结（1）
• 索洛模型中，人均收入的增长率由外生的技
术进步率决定。模型本身不能说明技术进步 的变化。 • 通过把劳动改善性技术进步因素的加入基础 的索洛模型，说明了技术进步对经济增长的
率。这些模型力图解释那些决定通过R&D
进行知识创造的决策。
曼昆《经济学原理(微观经济学分册)》(第7版)课后习题详解-第8~9篇【圣才出品】
第8篇宏观经济学的数据第23章一国收入的衡量一、概念题1．微观经济学（microeconomics）答：微观经济学指研究家庭和企业如何做出决策，以及他们如何在市场上相互交易的经济学。
微观经济学以市场经济中的单个消费者（或称家户、家庭）和生产者（或称厂商、企业）为研究对象，通过分析他们的消费决策或生产决策，来说明消费品和生产要素的价格的决定及其变动，进而说明稀缺性的资源如何得到最有效的配置。
微观经济学的理论目的是为了论证亚当·斯密“看不见的手”原理，这只“看不见的手”就是价格机制。
因此，微观经济学又被称为价格理论。
微观经济学主要解决的问题可以概括为：生产什么、生产多少、如何生产、为谁生产。
其基本假设为：（1）经济行为个体是进行自由的、分散化决策的理性经济人，即消费者追求自身效用的最大化，生产者追求自身利润的最大化。
（2）完全竞争和完全信息。
微观经济学从这两个基本假定出发对上述问题的解决就构成了它的主要内容，具体地，它包括：①供求规律；②消费者行为理论，它构成消费品价格决定的需求方面；③生产者行为理论或厂商理论，它构成消费品价格决定的供给方面；④生产要素的价格决定理论或分配理论；⑤一般均衡理论；⑥福利经济学；⑦市场失灵和微观经济政策。
2．宏观经济学（macroeconomics）答：宏观经济学是与“微观经济学”相对而言的，指研究整体经济现象，包括通货膨胀、失业和经济增长的经济学。
宏观经济学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、国际收支与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供给—总需求模型。
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、经济周期与经济增长理论、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。

一、概念题1．劳动效率（efficiency of labor）答：劳动效率是指单位劳动时间的产出水平，反映了社会对生产方法的掌握和熟练程度。
当可获得的技术改进时，劳动效率会提高。
当劳动力的健康、教育或技能得到改善时，劳动效率也会提高。
在索洛模型中，劳动效率（E）是表示技术进步的变量，反映了索洛模型劳动扩张型技术进步的思想：技术进步提高了劳动效率，就像增加了参与生产的劳动力数量一样，所以在生产函数中的劳动力数量上乘以一个劳动效率变量，形成了有效工人概念，这使得索洛模型在稳态分析中纳入了外生的技术进步。
2．劳动改善型技术进步（labor-augmenting technological progress）答：劳动改善型技术进步是指技术进步提高了劳动效率，就像增加了参与生产的劳动力数量一样，所以在生产函数中的劳动力数量上乘以一个劳动效率变量，以反映外生技术进步对经济增长的影响。
劳动改善型技术进步实际上认为技术进步是通过提高劳动效率而影响经济增长的。
它的引入形成了有效工人的概念，从而使得索洛模型能够以单位有效工人的资本和产量来进行稳定状态研究。
3．内生增长理论（endogenous growth theory）答：内生增长理论是用规模收益递增和内生技术进步来说明一个国家长期经济增长和各国增长率差异的一种经济理论，其重要特征就是试图使增长率内生化。
根据其依赖的基本假定条件的差异，可以将内生增长理论分为完全竞争条件下的内生增长模型和垄断竞争条件下的内生增长模型。

根据其依赖的基本假定条件的差异，可以将内生增长理论分为完全竞争条件下的内生增长模型和垄断竞争条件下的内生增长模型。
按照完全竞争条件下的内生增长模型，使稳定增长率内生化的两条基本途径就是：①将技术进步率内生化；②如果可以被积累的生产要素有固定报酬，那么可以通过某种方式使稳态增长率受要素的积累影响。

无谓损失就是由于 税收阻止了这些互 利的贸易而引起的 剩余损失。
The area C+E shows the fall in total surplus and is the deadweight loss of the tax.
买者和卖者由税收受到的损失大于政府收入的增加。税收引起的总剩 余减少被称为无谓损失，面积C＋E衡量无谓损失的规模。
How a Tax Affects Welfare
the greater the deadweight loss of a tax.
对上述结论的一点解释：
从这个图中所得出的结论很容易解释。税收造成无 谓损失，是因为它使买者和卖者改变自己的行为。 税收提高了买者支付的价格，因此他们的消费少了。 同时，税收降低了卖者得到的价格，因此他们的生 产少了。由于行为的这些变动，市场规模缩小到最 优水平之下。供给和需求弹性衡量买者和卖者对价 格变动的反应程度，从而决定了税收扭曲会使市场 结果有多大变动。因此，供给和需求弹性越大，税 收的无谓损失也就越大。
8.1 税收的无谓损失 THE DEADWEIGHT LOSS OF TAXATION
How do taxes affect the economic well-being of market participants?
It does not matter whether a tax on a good is levied on buyers or sellers of the good…the price paid by buyers rises, and the price received by sellers falls.
