Please use AA and DD schedules to describe “The adjustment to a permanent increase in the money supply. ” The original point is at full employment.The vertical axis is exchange rate, the horizontal axis is output.3. If an economy does not start out at full employment,is it still true that a permanent change in fiscal policy has no current effect on output? Please use AA and DD schedules to describe it.Quiz for Chapter 17Ⅰ. Fill the following blanks with the proper word or expression1.

Is this empirically verified?What are the logical underpinnings of this argument?Answer: Yes. They do not have sufficient resources to satisfy consumption needs; and also do not have a sufficiently large market to enable their industries to avail themselves of scale economy possibilities.Another answer would rely on a location argument. Assume that the "natural" market for any givenplant is a circle with a radius of n miles with the plant at its center. Assuming that the production plantsare located randomly throughout the country, then the probability that the typical circular market willencompass some foreign country is greater the smaller is the country.Question Status: Previous Edition9)It is argued that if a rich high wage country such as the United States were to expand trade with a relatively poorand low wage country such as Mexico, then U.S. industry would migrate south, and U.S. wages would fall to the level of Mexico's.

It is also an area for whichdata was relatively widely available very early on. Why do you suppose this is the case?Answer: In ancient times, public finance was not well developed. Most of the population was not producing and consuming within well-developed market economies, so that income and sales taxes were not efficient. Oneof the most convenient ways for governments to obtain resources was to set up custom posts at borders andtax. Hence international trade was of great policy interest to princes and kings, as was precise data of theirmain tax base.Question Status: Previous Edition(SP-ICUA bsWine Million Liters17)The figure above is the Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) of Baccalia, where only two products are produced,clothing and wine. In fact Baccalia is producing on its PPF at point A. By and large the people of Baccalia are content, as both their external and internal needs for warmth are satisfied in the most economically efficient manner possible, given their available productive resources (and known technology). How much wine is being produced? How much cloth? If a person in this country wanted to purchase a liter of wine, what would be the price he or she would have to pay?Judging from what you learned in the previous paragraph, can you indicate at which point (if at all) the Community Indifference Curve is tangent to the Production Possibility Frontier? Explain your reasoning. Answer: 6 million liters of wine are being produced.3 million square yards of cloth are being produced.The price of 1 liter of wine is one half of a square yard of cloth.The tangency is at point A. We know this because otherwise the country would not be producing at thepoint of maximum economic efficiency.Question Status: Previous Edition18) One day, Baccalia joined the WTO and joined the Global Village. They discovered that in the LWE (London WineExchange), 1 liter of wine is worth 1 square yard of cloth. What is the logical production point they should strive for? (See figure.)Answer: 10 million liters of wine.Question Status: Previous Edition19) Baccalia wishes to enjoy to the fullest from the gains from trade, but is not willing to give up imbibing even one dropof wine from the 6 million liters they consumed in their original autarkic state. If their new consumption point is a point we shall designate as point b, describe where this point would be found. (See figure.)Answer: Vertically above point aQuestion Status: Previous Edition20) Where is the Community Indifference Curve family of curves tangent to their new Consumption Possibility Frontier?Answer: At point b.Question Status: Previous Edition21) How can you prove that Baccalia has in fact gained from the availability of trade, and that their new situation issuperior to the pre-trade situation (with which they were quite content)?Answer: The country was consuming at point a before trade. It is now consuming at point b with trade. Point brepresents a superior welfare combination of goods as compared to point a, since at b the country has moreof each of the goods.Question Status: Previous Edition6 10Wine Million Liters(SP 」EA 另UO=M)。

(a)Credit Debit An American buys a share of German stock(Financial account, U.S. asset import) -The American pays with a check on his Swiss bank account(Financial account, U.S. asset import) +(b) If the German stock seller deposits the U.S. check in its German bank,Credit Debit An American buys a share of German stock(Financial account, U.S. asset import) -The American pays with a check on his American bank account(Financial account, U.S. asset export) +(c)Credit Debit The sale of dollars by the Korean government(Financial account, U.S. asset export) -The Korean citizens who buy the dollars use them to buy American goods(Current account, U.S. goods export) +Credit Debit The sale of dollars by the Korean government(Financial account, U.S. asset export) -The Korean citizens who buy the dollars use them to buy American assets(Financial account, U.S. asset export) +(d) Suppose the company issuing the traveler’s check uses a checking account in France to make payments,Credit Debit The company issuing the traveler’s check pays the French restaurateur for the meal (Current account, U.S. service import) - Sale of claim on the company issuing the traveler’s check(Financial account, U.S. assets export) +(e)Credit Debit The California winemaker contributes a case of cabernet sauvignon abroad(Current account, U.S. unilateral current transfers) - Receivable of the California winemaker(Current account, U.S. goods export) +Credit Debit Receivable of the California winemaker(Current account, U.S. goods export) -The California winemaker contributes a case of cabernet sauvignon abroad(Current account, U.S. unilateral current transfers) +(f)Credit Debit The U.S. owned factory in Britain makes local earning(Current account, U.S. income receipts) +The U.S. owned factory in Britain deposits its local earning in a British bank(Financial account, U.S. asset import) -Credit Debit The U.S. owned factory in Britain uses its local earning to reinvest(Current account, U.S. income receipts) -The U.S. owned factory in Britain makes the payment for reinvestment(Financial account, U.S. asset import) +5.(a) Since Pecunia had a current account deficit of $1b and a nonreserve financial account surplus of $500m in 2002, the balance of Pecunia’s official reserve transaction should be +$500m as follow:Pecunia international transactionCredit Debit Current account -$1b Financial accountThe balance of Pecunia’s official reserve transaction +$500mThe balance of nonreserve assets +$500mThe balance of payment of Pecunia = the negative value of the balance of Pecunia’s official reserve transaction= -$500m.Pecunia had a financial account surplus of $1b in 2002; it implies Pecunia’s net foreign assets decreased by $1b in 2002.(b) Pecunian central bank had to sell $500m, so Pecunian central bank’s foreign reserves decreased by $500m:Pecunia international transactionCredit Debit Current account -$1b Financial accountPecunian official reserve assets +$500mForeign official reserve assets 0 0The balance of nonreserve assets +$500m(c) There was no need for Pecunian central bank to sell dollar, and Pecunian central bank’s foreign reserves increased by $100m as shown below:Pecunia international transactionCredit Debit Current account -$1b Financial accountPecunian official reserve assets -$100m Foreign official reserve assets + $600mThe balance of nonreserve assets +$500m(d)Pecunia international transactionCredit Debit Current account -$1b Financial accountPecunian official reserve assets -$100m Foreign official reserve assets + $600mThe balance of nonreserve assets +$500mThe following is for your reference:3.(a) The purchase of the German stock is a debit in the U.S. financial account. There is acorresponding credit in the U.S. financial account when the American pays witha check on his Swiss bank account because his claims on Switzerland fall by theamount of the check. This is a case in which an American trades one foreign assetfor another.(b) Again, there is a U.S. financial account debit as a result of the purchase of a Germanstock by an American. T he corresponding credit in this case occurs when theGerman seller deposits the U.S. check in its German bank and that bank lends themoney to a German importer (in which case the credit will be in the U.S. currentaccount) o r to an individual or corporation that purchases a U.S. asset (in whichcase the credit will be in the U.S. financial account). Ultimately, there will be someaction taken by the bank which results in a credit in the U.S. balance of payments.(c) The foreign exchange intervention by the French government involves the sale of aU.S. asset, the dollars it holds in the United States, and thus represents a debititem in the U.S. financial account. The French citizens who buy the dollars mayuse them to buy American goods, which would be an American current accountcredit,or an American asset, which would be an American financial accountcredit.(d) Suppose the company issuing the traveler’s check uses a checking account inFrance to make payments. When this company pays the French restaurateur for themeal, its payment represents a debit in the U.S. current account.The company issuing the traveler’s check must sell assets (deplete its checking account in France) to make this payment. This reduction in the French assetsowned by that company represents a credit in the American financial account.(e) There is no credit or debit in either the financial or the current account sincethere has been no market transaction.(f) There is no recording in the U.S. Balance of Payments of this offshore transaction.5.(a) Since non-central bank financial inflows fell short of the current-account deficit by$500 million, the balance of payments of Pecunia (official settlements balance) was–$500 million. The country as a whole somehow had to finance its $1 billioncurrent-account deficit, so Pecunia’s net foreign assets fell by $1 billion.(b) By dipping into its foreign reserves, the central bank of Pecunia financed theportion of the country’s current-account deficit not covered by private financialinflows. Only if foreign central banks had acquired Pecunian assets could thePecunian central bank have avoided using$500 million in reserves to complete the financing of the current account. Thus,Pecunia’s central bank lost $500 million in reserves, which would appear as anofficial financial inflow (of the same magnitude) in the country’s balance ofpayments accounts.(c) If foreign official capital inflows to Pecunia were $600 million, the Central Banknow increased its foreign assets by $100 million. Put another way, the countryneeded only $1 billion to cover its current-account deficit, but $1.1 billion flowed into the country (500 million private and600 million from foreign central banks). The Pecunian central bank must, therefore, have used the extra $100 million in foreign borrowing to increase its reserves. The balance of payments is still –500 million, but this is now comprised of 600 million in foreign Central Banks purchasing Pecunia assets and 100 million of Pecunia’s Central Bank purchasing foreign assets, as opposed to Pecunia selling 500 million in assets. Purchases of Pecunian assets by foreign central banks enter their countries’balance of payments accounts as outflows, which are debit items. The rationale is that the transactions result in foreign payments to the Pecunians who sell the assets.(d) Along with non-central bank transactions, the accounts would show an increase inforeign official reserve assets held in Pecunia of $600 million (a financial account credit, or inflow) and an increase Pecunian official reserve assets held abroad of $100 million (a financial account debit, or outflow). Of course, total net financial inflows of $1 billion just cover the current-account deficit.。

《国际经济学》(双语)试卷1参考答案

《国际经济学》(双语)试卷1参考答案

《国际经济学》(双语)试卷1参考答案Ⅰ. Explain the following terms (30 points, 3 points/term)parative advantage:A country has a comparative advantage in producing a good if the opportunity cost of producing that good in terms of other goods is lower in that country than it is in other countries(3 points).2.Specific factors model: It assumes an economy that produces two goods and the labor is a mobile factor that can move between sectors, other factors are assumed to be specific, that is, they can be used only in the production of particular goods(3 points).3.Heckscher-Ohlin theory: it is also referred to as the factor-proportions theory, the theory emphasizes the interplay between the proportions in which different factors of production are available in different countries and the proportions in which they are used in producing different goods(3 points).4.Leontief paradox: the United States would be an exporter of capital-intensive goods and an importer of labor-intensive goods. Surprisingly, however, this was not the case, the economist Leontief found that U.S. exports were less capital-intensive than U.S. imports. This result is known as the Leontief paradox. It is the single biggest piece of evidence against the factor-proportions theory(3 points).5.Official international reserves: Official international reserves are foreign assets held by central banks as a cushion against national economic misfortune. At one time official reserves consisted largely of gold, but today central banks' reserves include substantial foreign financial assets, particularly U.S. dollar assets such as Treasury bills(3 points).6.The official settlements balance: the official settlements balance or the balance of payments. This balance is the sum of the current account balance, the capital account balance, the nonreserve portion of the financial account balance, and the statistical discrepancy, and it indicates the payments gap that official reserve transactions need to cover(3 points).7.Foreign exchange option: A foreign exchange option gives its owner the right to buy or sell a specified amount of foreign currency at a specified price at any time up to a specified expiration date. The other party to the deal, the option's seller, is required to sell or buy the foreign currency at the discretion of the option's owner, who is under no obligation to exercise his right(3 points).8.Interest parity condition: The condition that the expected returns on deposits of any twocurrencies are equal when measured in the same currency is called the interestparity condition. It implies that potential holders of foreign currency deposits view them all as equally desirable assets.9.Fisher effect: This long-run relationship between inflation and interest rates is called the Fisher effect. Fisher effect tells us that all else equal, a rise in a country's expected inflation rate will eventually cause an equal rise in the interest rate that deposits of its currency offer. Similarly, a fall in the expected inflation rate will eventually cause a fall in the interest rate(3 points).10.Long run analysis: The long run analysis of an economic event allows for the complete adjustment of the price level (which may take a long time) and for full employment of all factors of production(3 points).II. Single-Choice Questions(15 points, 1.5points/Question)1. b2. d3. c4. a5. b6. a7. d8. a9. c 10. aⅢ.Questions and problems(40 points, 8 points/Question)1.What are the three types of international transaction recorded in the balance of payments(8 points)?Answer: the three types of international transactions are current account, financial account and capital account(3 points). Transactions that involve the export or import of goods or services and therefore enter directly into the current account. Transactions that involve the purchase or sale of financial assets. An asset is any one of the forms in which wealth can be held, such as money, stocks, factories, or government debt. The financial account of the balance of payments records all international purchases or sales of financial assets. Certain other activities resulting in transfers of wealth between countries are recorded in the capital account(5 points).2. In the United States where land is cheap, the ratio of land to labor used in cattle rising is higher than that of land used in wheat growing. But in more crowded countries, where land is expensive and labor is cheap, it is common to raise cows by using less land and more labor than Americans use to grow wheat. Can we still say that raising cattle is land intensive compared with farming wheat? Why or why not(8 points)?Answer: The definition of cattle growing as land intensive depends on the ratio of land to labor used in production, not on the ratio of land or labor to output(3 points). 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 too if the ratio of land to labor in cattle production exceeds the ratio in wheat production in that country. The comparison between another country and the United States is less relevant for answering the question(5 points).3. Suppose the dollar interest rate and the pound sterling interest rate are the same, 5 percent per year. What is the relation between the current equilibrium $/£ exchange rate and its expected future level? Suppose the expected future $/£ exchange rate, $1.52 per pound, remains constant as Britain's interest rate rises to 10 percent per year. If the U.S. interest rate also remains constant, what is the new equilibrium$/£ exchange rate(8 points)?Answer: The current equilibrium exchange rate must equal its expected future level since, with equality of nominal interest rates, there can be no expected increase or decrease in the dollar/pound exchange rate in equilibrium(3 points). If the expected exchange rate remains at $1.52 per pound and the pound interest rate rises to 10 percent, then interest parity is satisfied only if the current exchange rate changes such that there is an expected appreciation of the dollar equal to 5 percent. This will occur when the exchange rate rises to $1.60 per pound (a depreciation of the dollar against the pound) (5 points).4. What are the real exchange rate and nominal exchange rate, and their differences(8 points)?Answer: the real exchange rate is the relative price of two output baskets, nominal exchange rate is the relative price of two currencies(3 points).The real exchange rate between two countries' currencies is a broad summary measure of the prices of one country's goods and services relative to the other's. the prediction of PPP is that real exchange rates never change, at least not permanently. Real exchange rates are defined, however, in terms of nominal exchange rates and price levels(5 points).5:Give a example to explain foreign exchange swap(8 points).Answer: foreign exchange swap is a spot sale of a currency combined with a forward repurchase of the currency(3 points). For example, a multinational company has just received $1 million from sales and knows it will have to pay those dollars to a California supplier in three months. The company's asset-management department would meanwhile like to invest the $1 million in Swiss francs. A three-month swap of dollars into Swiss francs may result in lower brokers' fees than the two separate transactions of selling dollars for spot Swiss francs and selling the Swiss francs for dollars on the forward market(5 points).Ⅳ.An economy can produce good 1 using labor and capital and good 2 using labor and land. The total supply of labor is 100 units.The marginal product of labor production are70 0.69 0.49 800.66 0.46 900.63 0.43 1000.60 0.40Questions: a. Suppose that the price of good 2 relative to that of good 1 is 2. Determine graphically the wage rate and the allocation of labor between the two sectors (5 points).b. Suppose that the relative price of good 2 falls to 1. Determine the wage rate and the allocation of labor between the two sectors (5 points).c. Calculate the effects of the price change on the income of the specific factors in sectors 1 and 2(5 points).Answer: a. With the assumption that labor is freely mobile between sectors, it will move from the low-wage sector to the high-wage sector until wages are equalized. So in equilibrium, the wage rate is equal to the value of labor ’s marginal product.2/122211=⨯=⨯P P P MPL P MPLThe abscissa of point of intersection illustrated above should be at L1=30. The labor allocation between the sectors is L1=30 and L2=70. The wage rate is 0.98(5 points). b. The relative decline in the price of good 2 caused labor to be reallocated: labor is drawn out of production of good 2 and enters production of good 1 (L1=60, L2=40). And the wage rate is equal to 0.74(5 points).c. With the relative price change from P2/P1=2 to P2/P1=1, the price of good 2 has fallen by 50 percent, while the price of good 1 has stayed the same. Wages have fallen too, but by less than the fall in P2 (wages fell approximately 25 percent). Thus, the real wage relative to P2 actually rises while real wage relative to P1 falls. Hence, to determine the welfare consequence for workers, the information about their consumption shares of good 1 and good 2 is needed(5 points).。

What criteria would you apply to determine whether such a policy is or is not successful? Judging from yourown stated criteria, was Japan's exercise sucessful? Why or why not? Whatinformation would a government require in order to increase the probability thatits industrial policy would promote long term self-generated economic growth? Answer: It is argued that Japan's subsidies to its nascient microchip industry was an important factor in putting Japan on the world map in this area. However, a minimal criteria for a successful industrial policy would be that the infant industry mature, and that it prove to be a profitable area of the country's comparative advantage. In this case, one might argue that the latter part of the above statement was not fulfilled, since the microchip industry was adopted by so many countries, that it became a "commodity". That is, it became a product with a very low profit margin, which was not really a good use of Japan's resources, given their alternative uses.2.In recent cases, the U.S. placed quotas or protectionist tariffs on imported steeland imported microchips. In both cases the damage to "downstream" industrieswas obvious to all and relatively easy to quantify and demonstrate. Assuming that the U.S. lawmakers are not plain dumb, why did they enact these protectionistpolicies?Answer: The system by which these protectionist policies are set into law is biased in favor of the producers of import competitive goods. Other sectors of the economy that may be affected are not parties in the petitions made to the ITC seeking redress.3.The U.S. is probably the most open international market among the industrializedcountries. What then does the U.S. have to gain by joining the WTO? Answer: There are two answers. First, the U.S. exporters stand to gain profitable markets if foreign protectionism in areas of U.S. comparative advantage ( e.g. soy) is removed due to WTO efforts. The second is that the WTO offers the U.S. government administration a counterweight to regional and sectoral interests demanding protection. It is always politically easier to bring about more efficient resource allocations of the complaints of the losers may be deflected by the presence of a binding treaty with an international organization ("out hands are tied").4.It has been claimed that the Chinese burst of modernization which has beenpropelling its manufactured exports throughout the world at an unprecedented rate, is made possible by the use of slave (penal) labor. If this is true should Chinahave been accepted as a full fledged member of the WTO? Why (or why not)? Answer: If the answer to Essay Question #3 is correct, then it follows that the answer here is Yes.5.It is still the conventional wisdom in the U.S. that compliance with NAFTArequirements is having a deleterious effect on U.S. highway safety standards, onU.S. pollution and other environmental standards, and on U.S. jobs. What factswould proponents of an expansion of NAFTA (e.g. to include all of Central andSouth American countries) need to marshall in order to convince you? Answer: The answer is subjective. Presumably the answer should include reasonable and objective counter-factual scenarios (what would be the job or pollution situation with and without NAFTA).Graphic/Numerical Problems1.Suppose Airbus is set to produce the aircraft before Boeing. Which company willenter the market?Answer: Airbus will produce and Boeing will not.2.Suppose both governments offer their respective company a subsidy of$4(million).Answer: Only Airbus will produce since it knows that the subsidy would not be sufficiently large to entice Boeing to also enter the market.3.Suppose both governments offer their respective company a $10 million subsidy. Answer: Both companies would enter the market, since each knows that regardless of the other's decision, it will make some profit here.4.Suppose the U.S. government (but not Europe) offers a $10 million subsidy? Answer: In this case Airbus would decide not to enter the market since it knows Boeing will, and that therefore its own production will entail a loss of $5 million.5.How could the U.S. government justify its decision to offer a subsidy to aprofitable and successful business?Answer: It could point out that this $10 million pump-priming expenditure results in a profit of $110 million. If Boeing paid a marginal income tax of 20%, this would net the gaovernment $55 million, which is more than 5 times the original subsidy, so that thedecision may be justified not only in terms of benefit/cost considerations, but even in terms of pure budgetary terms.。

CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTIONChapter OrganizationWhat is International Economics About?The Gains from TradeThe Pattern of TradeProtectionismThe Balance of PaymentsExchange-Rate DeterminationInternational Policy CoordinationThe International Capital MarketInternational Economics: Trade and MoneyCHAPTER OVERVIEWThe intent of this chapter is to provide both an overview of the subject matter of international economics and to provide a guide to the organization of the text. It is relatively easy for an instructor to motivate the study of international trade and finance. The front pages of newspapers, the covers of magazines, and the lead reports of television news broadcasts herald the interdependence of the U.S. economy with the rest of the world. This interdependence may also be recognized by students through their purchases of imports of all sorts of goods, their personal observations of the effects of dislocations due to international competition, and their experience through travel abroad.The study of the theory of international economics generates an understanding of many key events that shape our domestic and international environment. In recent history, these events include the causes and consequences of the large current account deficits of the United States; the dramatic appreciation of the dollar during the first half of the 1980s followed by its rapid depreciation in the second half of the 1980s; the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s and the Mexico crisis in late 1994; and the increased pressures for industry protection against foreign competition broadly voiced in the late 1980s and more vocally espoused in the first half of the 1990s. Most recently, the financial crisis that began in East Asia in 1997 and spread to many countries around the globe and the Economic and Monetary Union in Europe have highlighted the way in which various national economies are linked and how important it is for us to understand these connections. At the same time, protests at global economic meetings have highlighted opposition to globalization. The text material will enable students to understand the economic context in which such events occur.Chapter 1 of the text presents data demonstrating the growth in trade and increasing importance of international economics. This chapter also highlights and briefly discusses seven themes which arise throughout the book. These themes include: 1) the gains from trade; 2) the pattern of trade; 3) protectionism; 4), the balance of payments; 5) exchange rate determination; 6) international policy coordination; and 7) the international capital market. Students will recognize that many of the central policy debates occurring today come under the rubric of one of these themes. Indeed, it is often a fruitful heuristic to use current events to illustrate the force of the key themes and arguments which are presented throughout the text.CHAPTER 2LABOR PRODUCTIVITY AND COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: THE RICARDIAN MODELChapter OrganizationThe Concept of Comparative AdvantageA One-Factor EconomyProduction PossibilitiesRelative Prices and SupplyTrade in a One-Factor WorldBox: Comparative Advantage in Practice: The Case of Babe RuthDetermining the Relative Price After TradeThe Gains from TradeA Numerical ExampleBox: The Losses from Non-TradeRelative WagesMisconceptions About Comparative AdvantageProductivity and CompetitivenessThe Pauper Labor ArgumentExploitationBox: Do Wages Reflect Productivity?Comparative Advantage with Many GoodsSetting Up the ModelRelative Wages and SpecializationDetermining the Relative Wage with a Multigood ModelAdding Transport Costs and Non-Traded GoodsEmpirical Evidence on the Ricardian ModelSummaryCHAPTER OVERVIEWThe Ricardian model provides an introduction to international trade theory. This most basic model of trade involves two countries, two goods, and one factor of production, labor. Differences in relative labor productivity across countries give rise to international trade. This Ricardian model, simple as it is, generates important insights concerning comparative advantage and the gains from trade. These insights are necessary foundations for the more complex models presented in later chapters.The text exposition begins with the examination of the production possibility frontier and the relative prices of goods for one country. The production possibility frontier is linear because of the assumption of constant returns to scale for labor, the sole factor of production. The opportunity cost of one good in terms of the other equals the price ratio since prices equal costs, costs equal unit labor requirements times wages, and wages are equal in each industry.After defining these concepts for a single country, a second country is introduced which has different relative unit labor requirements. General equilibrium relative supply and demand curves are developed. This analysis demonstrates that at least one country will specialize in production. The gains from trade are then demonstrated with a graph and a numerical example. The intuition of indirect production, that is "producing" a good by producing the good for which a country enjoys a comparative advantage and then trading for the other good, is an appealing concept to emphasize when presenting the gains from trade argument. Students are able to apply the Ricardian theory of comparative advantage to analyze three misconceptions about the advantages of free trade. Each of the three "myths" represents a common argument against free trade and the flaws of each can be demonstrated in the context of examples already developed in the chapter.While the initial intuitions are developed in the context of a two good model, it is straightforward to extend the model to describe trade patterns when there are N goods. This analysis can be used to explain why a small country specializes in the production of a few goods while a large country specializes in the production of many goods. The chapter ends by discussing the role that transport costs play in making some goods non-traded.The appendix presents a Ricardian model with a continuum of goods. The effect of productivity growth in a foreign country on home country welfare can be investigated with this model. The common argument that foreign productivity advances worsen the welfare of the domestic economy is shown to be fallacious in the context of this model.ANSWERS TO TEXTBOOK PROBLEMS1. a. The production possibility curve is a straight line that intercepts the apple axis at 400(1200/3) and the banana axis at 600 (1200/2).b. The opportunity cost of apples in terms of bananas is 3/2. It takes three units of labor toharvest an apple but only two units of labor to harvest a banana. If one foregoes harvesting an apple, this frees up three units of labor. These 3 units of labor could then be used toharvest 1.5 bananas.c. Labor mobility ensures a common wage in each sector and competition ensures the price ofgoods equals their cost of production. Thus, the relative price equals the relative costs, which equals the wage times the unit labor requirement for apples divided by the wage times the unit labor requirement for bananas. Since wages are equal across sectors, the price ratio equals the ratio of the unit labor requirement, which is 3 apples per 2 bananas.2. a. The production possibility curve is linear, with the intercept on the apple axis equal to 160(800/5) and the intercept on the banana axis equal to 800 (800/1).b. The world relative supply curve is constructed by determining the supply of apples relativeto the supply of bananas at each relative price. The lowest relative price at which apples are harvested is 3 apples per 2 bananas. The relative supply curve is flat at this price.The maximum number of apples supplied at the price of 3/2 is 400 supplied by Home while, at this price, Foreign harvests 800 bananas and no apples, giving a maximum relative supply at this price of 1/2. This relative supply holds for any price between 3/2 and5. At the price of 5, both countries would harvest apples. The relative supply curve isagain flat at 5. Thus, the relative supply curve is step shaped, flat at the price 3/2 from the relative supply of 0 to 1/2, vertical at the relative quantity 1/2 rising from 3/2 to 5, and then flat again from 1/2 to infinity.3. a. The relative demand curve includes the points (1/5, 5), (1/2, 2), (1,1), (2,1/2).b. The equilibrium relative price of apples is found at the intersection of the relative demandand relative supply curves. This is the point (1/2, 2), where the relative demand curve intersects the vertical section of the relative supply curve. Thus the equilibrium relative price is 2.c. Home produces only apples, Foreign produces only bananas, and each country trades someof its product for the product of the other country.d. In the absence of trade, Home could gain three bananas by foregoing two apples, andForeign could gain by one apple foregoing five bananas. Trade allows each country to trade two bananas for one apple. Home could then gain four bananas by foregoing two apples while Foreign could gain one apple by foregoing only two bananas. Each country is better off with trade.4. The increase in the number of workers at Home shifts out the relative supply schedule suchthat the corner points are at (1, 3/2) and (1, 5) instead of (1/2, 3/2) and (1/2, 5). The intersection of the relative demand and relative supply curves is now in the lower horizontal section, at the point (2/3, 3/2). In this case, Foreign still gains from trade but the opportunity cost of bananas in terms of apples for Home is the same whether or not there is trade, so Home neither gains nor loses from trade.5. This answer is identical to that in 3. The amount of "effective labor" has not changedsince the doubling of the labor force is accompanied by a halving of the productivity of labor.6. This statement is just an example of the pauper labor argument discussed in the chapter. Thepoint is that relative wage rates do not come out of thin air; they are determined by comparative productivity and the relative demand for goods. The box in the chapter provides data which shows the strong connection between wages and productivity. Korea's low wage presumably reflects the fact that Korea is less productive than the United States in most industries. As the test example illustrated, a highly productive country that trades witha less productive, low-wage country will raise, not lower, its standard of living.7. The problem with this argument is that it does not use all the information needed fordetermining comparative advantage in production: this calculation involves the four unit labor requirements (for both the industry and service sectors, not just the two for the servicesector). It is not enough to compare only service's unit labor requirements. If a ls < a ls*,Home labor is more efficient than foreign labor in services. While this demonstrates that the United States has an absolute advantage in services, this is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for determining comparative advantage. For this determination, the industry ratios are also required. The competitive advantage of any industry depends on both the relative productivities of the industries and the relative wages across industries.8. While Japanese workers may earn the equivalent wages of U.S. workers, the purchasingpower of their income is one-third less. This implies that although w=w*(more or less), p<p* (since 3p=p*). Since the United States is considerably more productive in services, service prices are relatively low. This benefits and enhances U.S. purchasing power.However, many of these services cannot be transported and hence, are not traded. This implies that the Japanese may not benefit from the lower U.S. services costs, and do not face an international price which is lower than their domestic price. Likewise, the price of services in United States does not increase with the opening of trade since these services are non-traded. Consequently, U.S. purchasing power is higher than that of Japan due to its lower prices on non-traded goods.9. Gains from trade still exist in the presence of nontraded goods. The gains from trade declineas the share of nontraded goods increases. In other words, the higher the portion of goods which do not enter international marketplace, the lower the potential gains from trade. If transport costs were high enough so that no goods were traded then, obviously, there would be no gains from trade.10. The world relative supply curve in this case consists of a step function, with as many"steps" (horizontal portions) as there are countries with different unit labor requirement ratios. Any countries to the left of the intersection of the relative demand and relative supply curves export the good in which they have a comparative advantage relative to any country to the right of the intersection. If the intersection occurs in a horizontal portion then the country with that price ratio produces both goods.FURTHER READINGDona ld Davis. “Intraindustry Trade: A Heckscher-Ohlin-Ricardo Approach” (working paper, Harvard University).Rudiger Dornbusch, Stanley Fischer, and Paul Samuelson.

The reason for this is that the debates concerning free trade focus on its distributional rather than its efficiency effects. A formal examination of these effects requires a model which has factors of production linked to producing certain goods. Two models of this nature are presented in this chapter.The first model includes factors of production which are inexorably tied to producing one and only one good. The particular example presented in the text involves winemakers and cheesemakers. The immobility of labor prevents equalization of wages. The production possibility frontier of this economy is a rectangle and the relative supply curve is a vertical line. Anequilibrium relative price can be determined when the relative demand curve is specified.Consider the effect of introducing another country which can produce the same bundle of goods. The second economy shares the same production technology, but has different relative amounts of each type of labor. Trade between these two economies benefits each in the aggregate since the possible consumption set of each country expands. However, distributional issues arise when trade is permitted since workers in particular sectors may not gain from trade. There will be no gain for the labor in each economy which was relatively scarce prior to trade as compared to after trade. The type of labor relatively abundant in a country will gain from trade. The source of this effect is the movement in relative prices which favors the good which was relatively abundant in each country before trade. The general outcome is that trade benefits workers in the export sector of each country and hurts workers in the import-competing sector.Next, a more general model is presented to investigate the distributional effects of trade. This specific factors model allows an examination of the distributional effects of trade on factors inexorably tied to the production of a specific good as well as on a factor that can be used to produce either good. The three factors in this model include two specific factors, land and capital, as well as one inter-sectorally mobile factor, labor. The fixed amount of each specific factor results in diminishing returns to labor. The mobility of labor ensures an equal wage in the production of either good, and perfect competition ensures that the wage equals the value marginal product of labor in the production of each good.A graphical analysis demonstrates the distribution of labor between sectors as well as the return to labor. International trade alters the relative prices of goods and thus the amount of labor used in each sector, the real wage to labor and the returns to capital and land. The results of this model are similar to that of the immobile factors model in that owners of factors specific to export sectors in from trade while owners of factors specific to import sectors lose from trade. This model also shows that trade has an ambiguous effect on mobile factors. To reinforce the importance of these concepts, the instructor may present data on who lobbies for protection and in which industries. Newspapers and magazines are often useful and timely sources of relevant information.The models presented in this chapter provide a framework for a preliminary discussion of the political economy of trade. The general support for free trade among economists despite its income distributional effects is justified. One reason for this support is that the benefits of free trade are widely dispersed while its costs are concentrated. Economists may better serve the country as advocates for the general welfare since there is no shortage of advocates for particular groups injured by trade. The issue of the political economy of trade reappears throughout the book. An appendix provides further details on the specific factors model.ANSWERS TO TEXTBOOK PROBLEMS1. Texas and Louisiana are states with large oil-producing sectors. The real wage ofoil-producing factors of production in terms of other goods falls when the price of oil fallsrelative to the price of other goods. This was the source of economic decline in these states in 1986.2. To analyze the economy's production possibility frontier, consider how the output mixchanges as labor is shifted between the two sectors.a. The production functions for goods 1 and 2 are standard plots with quantities on thevertical axis, labor on the horizontal axis, and Q1= Q1(K1,L1) with slope equal to the MPL1, and on another graph, Q2= Q2(K2,L2) with slope equal to the MPL2.Figure 3-1b. To graph the production possibilities frontier, combine the production functiondiagrams with the economy's allocation of labor in a four quadrant diagram.The economy's PPF is in the upper right hand corner, as is illustrated in the four quadrant diagram above. The PPF is curved due to declining marginal product of labor in each good.3. a. To solve this problem, one can graph the demand curve for labor in sector 1, representedby (w=MPL1=demand for L1) and the demand curve for labor in sector 2, represented by (w=MPL2=demand for L2) . Since the total supply of labor is given by the horizontal axis, the labor allocation between the sectors is approximately L1=27 and L2=73. The wage rate is approximately $0.98.L w27100L 1L 2Figure 3-2b. Use the same type of graph as in problem 2b to show that sectoral output is Q 1=44 andQ 2=90. (This involves combining the production function diagrams with the economy's allocation of labor in a four quadrant diagram. The economy's PPF is in the upper right hand corner, as illustrated in the text.)c. Use a graph of labor demands, as in part a, to show that the intersection of the demandcurves for labor occurs at a wage rate approximately equal to $0.74. The relative decline in the price of good 2 caused labor to be reallocated: labor is drawn out of production of good 2 and enters production of good 1 (L 1=62, L 2=38). This also leads to an output adjustment, whereby production of good 2 falls to 68 units and production of good 1 rises to 76 units. d. With the relative price change from p 2/p 1=2 to p 2/p 1=1, the price of good 2 has fallen by50 percent, while the price of good 1 has stayed the same. Wages have fallen, but by less than the fall in p 2 (wages fell approximately 25 percent). Thus, the real wage relative to p 2 actually rises while to real wage relative to p 1 falls. Hence, to determine the welfare consequences for workers, information is needed about their consumption shares of good 1 and good 2.4. The box diagram presented below is a useful tool for showing the effects of increasing thesupply of the mobile factor of production, labor.a. For an economy producing two goods, X and Y , with labor demands reflected by theirmarginal revenue product curves, there is an initial wage of w 1 and an initial labor allocation of L x =O x A and L y =O y A. When the supply of labor increases, the right boundary of this diagram is pushed out to O y '. The demand for labor in sector Y is pulled rightward with the boundary. The new intersection of the labor demand curves shows that labor expands in both sectors, and therefore output of both X and Y also expand. The relative expansion of output is ambiguous. Wages paid to workers fall.x A B w 1w 2y y’Figure 3-3b. From the shape of the MPL curves, it is clear that labor will continue to exhibitdiminishing returns. Using a four quadrant diagram, you can demonstrate that the new production possibility frontier is more concave and steeper (flatter) at the ends. Using the numerical example, L 1 increases to 90 from 62 and L 2 increases to 50 from 38. Wages decline from $0.74 to $0.60. This new allocation of labor yields a new output mix of approximately Q 1=85 and Q 2=77.FURTHER READINGAvinash Dixit and Victor Norman. Theory of International Trade.

In Chapter 3, labor was no longer the only factor used in production. Specific though immobile factors of production were introduced and some distributional effects of alterations in sector specific factors and prices were discussed. In Chapter 4, this analysis goes a step further by introducing the Heckscher-Ohlin theory.In Chapter 4, 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 introduced in Chapter 2, 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 Theory demonstrate that owners of a country's abundant factors gain from trade but owners of 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.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 patterns of trade. 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 explored in 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 usedin production, not on the ratio of land or labor to output. The ratio of land to labor in cattle。

4.2 Tariffs
Conclusion when material inputs or intermediate products enter a country at a very low duty while the final imported commodity is protected by a high duty, the result tends to be a high protection rate for the domestic producers. The nominal tariff rate on finished goods thus understates the effective rate of protection. But should a tariff be imposed on imported inputs that exceeds that on the finished good, the nominal tariff rate on the finished product would tend to overstate its protective effect.
Infant Industry Argument
This argument contends that for free trade to be meaningful, trading countries should temporarily shield their newly developing industries from foreign competition.

第2章2、In case A, the United States has a comparative advantage in wheat and the United Kingdom in cloth.In case B, the United States has a comparative advantage in wheat and the United Kingdom in cloth.In case C, the United States has a comparative advantage in wheat and the United Kingdom in cloth.In case D, the United States and the United Kingdom have a comparative advantage in neither commodities.4. a) The United States gains 1C.b) The United Kingdom gains 4C.c) 3C < 4W < 8C.d) The United States would gain 3C while the United Kingdom would gain 2C.10.If D W(US+UK) intersected S W(US+UK) at P W/P C=2/3 and 120W in the leftpanel of Figure 2.3, this would mean that the United States would not be specializing completely in the production of wheat.The United Kingdom, on the other hand, would be specializing completely in the production of cloth and exchanging 20C for 30W with the United States. Since the United Kingdom trades at U.S. the pre-trade relative commodity price of P W/P C=2/3 in the United States, the United Kingdom receives all of the gains from trade.第三章3(1)a) See Figure 3b) Nation 1 has a comparative advantage in X and Nation 2 in Y.c) If the relative commodity price line has equal slope in both nations.4.a) See Figure 4.b)Nation 1 gains by the amount by which point E is to the right andabove point A andNation 2 by the excess of E' over A'. Nation 1 gains more from trade because the relative price of X with trade differs more from its pretrade price than for Nation 2.7.See Figure 6 .The small nation will move from A to B in production, exports X in exchange for Y so asto reach point E > A.第四章6、a) See Figure 5.b.)The quantity of imports demanded by Nation 1 at P F'exceeds thequantity of exports of Y supplied by Nation 2. Therefore, Px/Py declines (Py/Px rises) until the quantitydemanded of imports of Y by Nation 1 equals the quantity of exports of Y supplied by Nation 2 at P B=P B'.c.)The backward bending (i.e., negatively sloped) segment of Nation 1'soffer curve indicate that nation 1 is willing to give up less of X for larger amounts of Y.8. See Figure 7.From the left panel of Figure 4.4, we see that Nation 2 does not export any amount of commodity Y at Px/Py=4, or Py/Px=1/4. This gives point A on Nation 2's supply curve of the exports of commodity Y (S). From the left panel of Figure 4.4, we also see that at Px/Py=2 or Py/Px=1/2, Nation 2 exports 40Y. This gives point H on S. Other point on S couldsimilarly be derived. Note that S in Figure 7 is identical to S in Figure 4.6 in the text showing Nation 1's exports of commodity X.From the left panel of Figure 4.3, we see that Nation 1 demands 60Y of Nation 2's e exports at Px/Py=Py/Px=1. This gives point E on Nation 1's demand curve of Nation 2's exports of commodity Y (D). From the left panel of Figure 4.3, we can estimate that Nation 1 demands 40Y at Py/Px=3/2 (point H on D in Figure 7) and 120Y at Py/Px=2 (point H' on D).The equilibrium relative commodity price of commodity Y is Py/Px=1. This is determined at the intersection of D and S in Figure 7. At Py/Px=3/2, there is an excess supply of R'R=30Y and Py/Px falls to Py/Px=1. On the other hand, at Py/Px=1/2, there is an excess demand of HH'=80Y and Py/Px rises to Py/Px=1. Note also that Figure 7 is symmetrical with Figure 4.6 in the text.10. See Figure 8 on page 36.In Figure 8, Nation 2 is the small nation and we magnified the portion of the offer curveof Nation 1 (the large nation) near the origin (where Nation 1's offer curve coincides with P A=1/4, Nation 1's pretrade relative commodity price with trade). This means that Nation 2 can import a sufficiently small quantity of commodity X without perceptibly affecting Px/Py in Nation 1. Thus, Nation 2 is a price taker and captures all of the benefits from its trade with Nation 1. The same would be true even if Nation 2 were not a small nation, as long as Nation 1 faced constant opportunity costs and did not specialize completely in the production of commodity X with trade. 第五章4. See Figure 4 on page 46.7. See Figure 6.13. a) See Figure 7.b)Factor-intensity reversal could occur if the substitutability of Kfor L in the productionof X was much greater than for Y and r/w was lower in Nation 2 than in Nation 1.c)Minhas found factor-intensity reversal to be fairly frequent.However, by correcting animportant source of bias in the Minhas study, Leontief showed that factor-intensityreversal was much less frequent. Ball tested another aspect of Minhas' conclusion andconfirmed Leontief's results that factor-intensity reversal was rare in the real world.第6章1. See Figure 1.6. See Figure 4.The AC and the MC curves in Figure 4 are the same as in Figure 6-2. However, D and thecorresponding MR curve are higher on the assumption that other firms have not yet imitatedthis firm's product, reduced its market share, or competed this firm's profits away. In Figure4, MR=MC at point E, so that the best level of output of the firm is 5 units and price is$4.50. Since at Q=5, AC=$3.00, the firm earns a profit of AB=$2.00 per unit and $10.00in total.14.

See Figure2.8.When Nation 1 (assumed to be a small nation) imposes an importtariff on commodity Y, the real income of labor falls and that of capital rises.第九章2. The partial equilibrium effects of the import quota are:P x=$1.50; consumption is 45X, of which 15X are produced domestically;b y auctioning off import licenses, the revenue effect would be $15.3. The partial equilibrium effects of the import quota are:P x=$2.50; consumption is 40X, of which 10X are produced domestically;t he revenue effect is $45.11. a) The monopolist should charge P1=$4 in the domestic market and P2=$3 in Figure 9-5 in Appendix A9.2.b) This represents the best, or optimal distribution of sales betweenthe two markets because any other distribution of sales in the two markets gives less revenue.第十章1. If Nation A imposes a 100 percent ad valorem tariff on imports of commodity X fromNation B and Nation C, Nation A will produce commodity X domestically because thedomestic price of commodity X is $10 as compared with the tariff-inclusive price of$16 if Nation A imported commodity X from Nation B and $12 if Nation A importedcommodity X from nation C.2. a) If Nation A forms a customs union with Nation B, Nation A will import commodityX from Nation B at the price of $8 instead of producing it itself at $10 or importing itfrom Nation C at the tariff-inclusive price of $12.b) When Nation A forms a customs union with Nation B this would be a trade-creatingcustoms union because it replaces domestic production of commodity X at Px=$10with tariff-free imports of commodity X from Nation B at Px=$8.3. If Nation A imposes a 50 percent ad valorem tariff on imports of commodity X fromNation B and Nation C, Nation A will import commodity X from nation C at the tariff-inclusive price of $9 instead of producing commodity X itself or importing it fromNation B at the tariff-inclusive price of $12.第十一章(略)第十二章(略)第十三章1. a. The U.S. debits its current account by $500 (for themerchandise imports) and credits capital by the same amount (for the increase in foreign assets in the U.S.).The U.S. credits capital by $500 (the drawing down of its bank balances in London, a capital inflow) and debits capital by an equal amount (to balance the capital credit that the U.S. importer received when the U.K. exporter accepted to be paid in three months).The U.S. is left with a $500 debit in its current account and a net credit balance of $500 in its capital account.6. The U.S. credits its capital account by $400 (for the purchase of the U.S. treasury bills by the foreign resident) and debits its capital account (for the drawing down of the foreign resident's bank balances in the United States) for the by the same amount.7. The U.S. debits its current account by $40 for the interest paid, debits its capital account by $400 (for the capital outflow for the repayment of the repayment of the principal to the foreign investors by the U.S. borrower), and then credits its capital account by $440 (the increase in foreign holdings of U.S. assets, a credit).第十四章5. a. The pound is at a three-month forward premium of 1c or 0.5% (or 2%/year) withrespect to the dollar.b. The pound is at a three-month forward discount of 4c or 2% (or 8%/year) withrespect to the dollar.9. The speculator can speculate in the forward exchange market by purchasing pounds forward for delivery in three months at FR=$2/£1.If the speculator is correct, he will earn 5c per pound purchased.11. The interest arbitrageur will earn 2% per year from the purchase of foreign three- month treasury bills if he covers the foreign exchange risk.第十五章7. Md=100/4=25 falls short of Ms=30 and there will be an outflow of international reserves(a deficit in the nation's balance of payments).9.(a) The condition for uncovered interest parity is given by i-i*=EA, where EA is theexpected appreciation of the pound. That is, since the spot rate of SR=$2.02/£1 inthree months is 1% (4% on an annual basis) higher than SR=$2.00/£1 today, thecondition for UIA is satisfied because 6%-10% = 4% (with all percentage ratesexpressed on an annual basis).(b) If the spot rate is expected to be SR=$2.04/£1 in three months, the pound wouldbe expected to appreciate by 2% for the three months (8% on an annual basis). I nvestors would now earn more by investing in London than by investing in New York and the condition for UIA would no longer be satisfied. As more dollars are exchanged for pounds to increase investments in London, the actual spot rate will increase from SR=$2.00/£1 to SR=$2.02/£1. This will leave only an expected appreciation of the pound of about 4% per year (the same as before the change in expectations). This is obtained by comparing the new higher spot rate of SR=$2.02/£1 today with the new expected spot rate of SR=$2.04/£1 in three months, so as to return to UIA parity.12. According to the portfolio balance approach, an increase in the expected rate ofinflation in the nation would lead to the expectation that the domestic currency w ill depreciate and the foreign currency will appreciate under flexible exchange rates. In terms of the extended portfolio balance model, this means that the expected appreciation of the foreign currency (EA) increases. The rise in EA will lead to a reduction in the demand for money balances (M) and the domestic bond (D) and an increase in the demand for the foreign bond (F) by domestic residents (see Equations 15-10 to 15-12). This leads to a depreciation of the domestic currency as domestic residents exchange the domestic for the foreign currency in order to purchase the foreign bond and to other changes in all other variables of the model until equlibrium is reestablisehd in all the markets simultaneously.第十六章1. The nation's demand curve for imports is derived by the horizontal distance of the nation's supply curve from the nation's demand curve of the tradable commodity at each price below theequilibrium level of the tradable commodity. See Figure 1.2. The nation's supply curve for exports is derived by the horizontal distance of the nation's demand curve from the nation's supply curve of the tradable commodity at each price above the equilibrium level of the tradable commodity. See Figure 2.7. S M is infinitely elastic for a small nation because a small nation can demand any quantity of imports without affecting its price; similarly, D X is infinitely elastic because a small nation can sell any amount of its export good without having to reduce its price.第十七章5. a.

Starting from point E in Figure 18-8 in the text, the nation could use the fiscal policy that shifts the IS curve to IS' (see Figure 5 on the next page), intersecting the LM curve at point Z. Since point Z is now to the left of the BP curve, the nation will have a surplus in its balance of payments. With flexible exchange rates, the nation's currency appreciates and so the BP curve shifts to the left. This induces a leftward shift in the IS curve to IS" and a rightward shift in the LM curve to LM', such that curve IS" and LM' intersect on the BP curve at point E'.Since at point E' the nation still faces unemployment, the nation would need to a pply additional doses of expansionary fiscal policy until all three markets are in equilibrium at the full-employment level of national income of YF = 1500.12.

For example, it is argued that for any specific tariff one canfind an equivalent ad valorum tariff; and that for any quota one can calculate a tariff equivalent. Discuss conditions or situations under which a specific and an ad valorum tariff are not equivalent. Discuss conditions or situationswhen a tariff and a quota are not equivalent.2.The Metzler Paradox is a special case of the optimum tariff concept. Discussthis assertion. Would the optimum tariff tend to be a high one or a low one in the case where this paradox exists? What conditions would be needed inthe international markets for a country's exports for this paradox to exist?Why do you suppose empirical support for the existence of this paradox hasnot been forthcoming to date?3.Some argue that tariffs always hurt the imposing country's economic welfare,and are typically designed to shift resources from one sector to another,protected or preferred one, within an economy. Find and discuss acounterexample to this argument.4.The effective rate of protection is a weighted average of nominal tariffs andtariffs on imported inputs. It has been noted that in most industrializedcountries, the nominal tariffs on raw materials or intermediate components orproducts are lower than on final-stage products meant for final markets.Why would countries design their tariff structures in this manner? Who tendsto be helped, and who is harmed by this cascading tariff structure?5.The two deadweight triangles are the Consumption distortion and Productiondistortion losses. It is easy to understand why the Consumption distortionconstitutes a loss for society. After all it raises the prices of goods toconsumers, and even causes some consumers to drop out of the marketaltogether. It seems paradoxical that the Production distortion is considered an equivalent burden on society. After all, in this case, profits increase, andadditional production (with its associated employment) comes on line. Thiswould seem to be an offset rather than an addition to the burden or loss borneby society. Explain why the Production distortion is indeed a loss to society, and what is wrong with the logic that leads to the apparent paradox.Quantitative/Graphing Problems1.In the Figure above, in the absence of Trade how many Widgets does thiscountry produce and consume?2.In the absence of trade what is the country's consumer plus producer surplus?3.With free trade and no tariffs, what is the quantity of Widgets imported?4.With a specific tariff of $3 per unit, what is the quantity of Widget imports?5.The loss of Consumer Surplus due to the tariff equals6.The lowest specific tariff which would be considered prohibitive is。

克鲁格曼《国际经济学:理论与政策》(第10版)学习辅导书-第1~8章【圣才出品】

第1章绪论说明:本章无课后习题。

第2章世界贸易概览一、概念题1.发展中国家答:发展中国家是指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”。

发展中国家的评价标准主要是这个国家的人均国内生产总值(人均GDP)相对比较低,通常是指第三世界国家,包括亚洲、非洲、拉丁美洲及其他地区的130多个国家,占世界陆地面积和总人口的70%以上。

发展中国家地域辽阔,人口众多,有广大的市场和丰富的自然资源。

还有许多战略要地,无论从经济、贸易上,还是从军事上,都占有举足轻重的战略地位。

2.引力模型答:引力模型是用来表示两个经济体之间的贸易量与两经济体的GDP和距离以及其他因素的关系。

丁伯根和波伊赫能的引力模型基本表达式为:T ij=A×Y i a×Y j b/D ij c其中,T ij是i国与j国的贸易额,A为常量,Y i是i国的国内生产总值,Y j是j国的国内生产总值,D ij是两国的距离。

a、b、c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。

3.国内生产总值答:国内生产总值是指一个国家(地区)领土范围内,本国(地区)居民和外国居民在一定时期内所生产和提供的最终使用的产品和劳务的价值,是用来度量一国境内的生产量的指标。

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、政府支出和净出口之和;用收入法计算的国内生产总值等于工资、利息、租金、利润、间接税以及企业转移支付和折旧之和。

与国民生产总值(GNP)的概念不同,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。

4.服务外包答: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。

Given a fixed exchange rate, when government demand increases, DD schedule will shift6. A reduction in money demand would shift AA ___________.7. __________ policy works through changes in government spending or taxes.8. If the economy starts at long-run equilibrium, a permanent change in fiscal policy has no net effect on .9. J-curve effects amplify the of exchange rates10. Because a permanent fiscal expansion changes exchange-rate expectations, the effect on output isif the economy stats in long-run equilibrium.Ⅱ. True or false1. If there is a decline in investment demand, the DD schedule will shift to the right. ( )2. The effect of real exchange rate increase on IM is ambiguous. ( )3. A temporary increase in the money supply, which does not alter the long-run expected exchange rate, causes a depreciation of the currency and a rise in output. Temporary fiscal expansion also has the same result. ( )4. Other things equal, a real depreciation of the home currency lowers aggregate demand for home output. ( )5. The DD Schedule shows all exchange rate and output levels at which the output market is in short-run equilibrium. DD Schedule slopes upward. ( )6. A permanent fiscal expansion does not changes exchange-rate expectations. ( )7. Since the effect is the same of that of an increase in G, an increase in T must cause the DD Schedule to shift rightward. ( )8. A rise in R* causes an upward shift of AA. ( )9. Either an increase in the money supply or temporary fiscal ease can be used to maintain full employment. The two polices have no different effects at all. ( )10.If exports and imports adjust gradually to real exchange rate changes, the current account may follow a J-curve pattern after a real currency appreciation, first worsening and then improving. ( )11. The greater the upward shift of the asset market equilibrium schedule, the greater the appreciation of the currency. ( )12. Monetary expansion causes the current account balance to decrease in the short run. ( )13. Expansionary fiscal policy reduces the current account balance. ( )Ⅲ. Answer the following questions:1. A new government is elected and announces that once it is inaugurated, it will increase the money supply. Use the DD-AA model to study the economy’s response to this announcement.2. Please use AA and DD sch edules to describe “The adjustment to a permanent increase in the money supply. ” The original point is at full employment.The vertical axis is exchange rate, the horizontal axis is output.3. If an economy does not start out at full employment, is it still true that a permanent change in fiscal policy has no current effect on output? Please use AA and DD schedules to describe it.Quiz for Chapter 17Ⅰ. Fill the following blanks with the proper word or expression1.

If central banks are not sterilizing and the home country has a balance of payments surplus, any increase in the home central bank’s foreign asse ts implies an decreased home money supply. ( )3. Under a fixed exchange rate, central bank monetary policy tools are powerful to affect the economy’s money supply. ( )4. The expectation of a future revaluation causes a rise in foreign reserves. ( )5 When domestic and foreign currency bonds are imperfect substitutes, equilibrium in the foreign market requires that the domestic interest rate equal the expected domestic currency return on foreign bonds subtract a risk premium. ( )6. Between the end of World War II and 1973, the exchange rate system was one in which exchange rate between any two currencies were floating. ( )7. Under the reserve currency standard, the center country has to intervene the exchange rate. ( )8. The central bank can negate the money supply effect of intervention through sterilization.( )9. A system of managed floating allows the central bank to retain some ability to control the domestic money supply, but at the cost of greater exchange rate instability.( )10.
