However, for the world as a whole the expansion of production of one product must involve a decrease in the availability of theother, so that it is not clear that trade is better for the world as a whole as compared to an initial situation of non-trade (but efficient production in each country). Are there in fact gains from trade for the world as a whole? Explain.Answe r: If we were to combine the production possibilityfrontiers of the two countries to create a single world production possibility frontier, then it is true thatany change in production points (from autarky to specialization with trade) would involve a tradeoff of one good for another from the world's perspective. In other words, the new solution cannot possibly involvethe production of more of both goods. However, since we know that each country is better off at the new solution, it must be true that the original points were not on the trade contract curve between the two countries, and it was in fact possible to make some people better off without making others worse off, so that the newsolution does indeed represent a welfare improvementfrom the world's perspective.QuestionStatus:Previous Edition24) It is generally claimed that a movement from autarky to freetrade consistent with Ricardian comparative advantageincreases the economic welfare of each of the trade partners.However, it may be demonstrated that under certaincircumstances, not everyone in each country is made betteroff. Illustrate such a case.Answe r: (a) If inter-generational, or economic growth considerations are taken into account, then a country may end up specializing in a good that has no or few growth linkages with the rest of the economy (e.g. an "enclave" sector).(b) If some of the residents of a country have tastes biased toward their exportable, then they may suffer due to the trade-affected increase in the market price of the exportable good.QuestionStatus:Previous Edition25) It is generally claimed that state trading, or centrallycontrolled trading will tend to reach a lower economicwelfare than would be reached by allowing market forces to determine trade flow directions and terms of trade.Illustrate a counter-example to this proposition.Answe r: In general, if we begin with any suboptimal distortion, the theory of the second best tells us that anadditional "distortion" may move a country in thecorrect direction of a welfare improvement. For example, If a country has an overvalued exchange rate (that is, its currency is overpriced in the foreign exchange markets), it is possible that it will find itself in an autarkic equilibrium (that is, it might "overpriceitself out of the international market"). In such a case it is easy to demonstrate that if the government exports the goods in which the country enjoys comparative advantage, and imports the other (bypassing market prices and mechanisms), the country's economic welfare will improve.Question Status:Previous Edition26) The Ricardian proposition that international trade willbenefit any country ("gains from trade") as long as theworld terms of trade do not equal its autarkic relativeprices is a straightforward and powerful concept.Nevertheless, it is impossible to demonstrate empirically.Why?Answe r: This is because there is no way of knowing exactly what are, or would have been, the autarky MRTs or MRSs. Thisis because there is no single example in the world of a country that is totally unengaged in international trade.QuestionStatus:Previous Edition27) Given the information in the table above. What is theopportunity cost of Cloth in terms of Widgets in Foreign?One half a widget.Answer:Previous EditionQuestionStatus:28) Given the information in the table above. If these twocountries trade these two goods in the context of theRicardian model of comparative advantage, then what is thelower limit of the world equilibrium price of widgets?Answe1/2 Cloths.r:Previous EditionQuestionStatus:29) Given the information in the table above.

克鲁格曼《国际经济学》(国际金融部分)课后习题答案(英文版)第一章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 domesticand 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 andspread 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 presentedthroughout the text.。

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)。

国际经济学题库英文版
国际经济学题库(英文版)Part Ⅰ. Fill in the blank with suitable content.1.Seven themes recur throughout the study of international economics. These are the gains from trade , the pattern of trade , protectionism the balance of payments, exchange rate determination, international policy coordination, international capital market.2. Countries engage in international trade for two basic reasons : comparative advantage and economics of scale .3. 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.4. Labor is the only one factor of production. LC a 、LW a and *LC a 、*LW a are the unit labor requirement in cheese and wine at Home and Foreign, respectively. If aLC/aLW<aLC*/aLW* , Home has a comparative advantage in cheese. C p /W p is the relative price of cheese, whenaLC/aLW< Pc/Pw<aLC*/aLW* Home and Foreign specialize in producing cheese and wine , respectively.5. Labor is the only one factor of production. LC a 、LW a and *LC a 、*LW a are the unit labor requirement in cheese and wine at Home and Foreign, respectively. L and L*are Home’s and Foreign’s laborforce. If LC a /LW a <C p /W p <*LC a /*LW a , the world relative supply of cheese equals (L/aLC )/(L*/aLW*) . Home’s gains from indirectly producing wine can be shown as (1/aLC)(Pc/Pw)-1/aLW6. In specific factors model(Q M =Q M (K, L M ); Q F =Q F (T, L F ); L=L M +L F ), if Home produces and trades manufactured goods for food , the overall comparison of the five change rate of goods price andfactor price MP ˆ、F P ˆ、K r ˆ、T r ˆ、W ˆinside Home is T F M K r P W P r ∧∧∧∧∧〉〉〉〉 . That is, the real income of capitalists increase, it can be shown as ↑M K P r ↑↑M K P r .7. There are two main reasons why international trade has strong effects on the distribution ofincome. First, resources can ’t move immediately or costlessly form one industry to another Second Industries differ in the factors of production they demand.8. In the Heckscher-Ohlin model,Comparative advantage is influenced by the interaction between relative abundance and relative intensity9.According to stolper-sammelson effect if the relative price of a good rises, the real income of the factor which intensively used in that good will rise, while the real income of the other factor will fall.10.According to 罗布津斯基效应 Rybczynski effect , at unchanged relative goods price, if the supply of a factor of production increases, the output of the good that are intensive in that factor will rise, while the output of the other good will fall.11.According to H-O 模型H-O proposition , owners of a country’s abundant factors gain from trade, but owners of a country’s scare factors lose.12.According to 要素价格均等化命题 Factor price equalization proposition , international trade produces a convergence (收敛) of relative goods prices. This convergence, in turns, causes the convergence of the relative factor prices. Trade leads to complete equalization of factor prices.(完整的要素价格均等化)13. Three assumptions (假设) crucial to the prediction of factor price equalization are in reality untrue. These assumptions are (1) 两个国家都生产两种产品 both countries produce both goods (2) 两国技术相同 technologies are the same (3) 存在贸易壁垒:天然壁垒和人为壁垒There are barriers to trade: natural barriers and artificial barriers .14.“U.S. exports w ere less capital-intensive than U.S. imports” is known as 里昂惕夫悖论 Leontief paradox .15.The Ricardian Model , the Specific Factor model and the H-O model may be viewed as special cases (特殊情况) of 标准贸易模型 standard trade models16.The standard trade model derives (派生 推导) a world relative supply curve (曲线) fromproduction possibilities and a world relative demand curve from preferences . 17.To export-biased growth, if the decline (下降) of the welfare caused by the deterioration (恶化) of the terms of trade swap over (交换) the rise of the welfare caused by growth, the growth is immiserizing growth (贫困化增长).18. Some economists argued that export-biased growth by poor nations would worsen their term of trade so much that they would be worse off than if they had not grown at all. This situation is known as immiserizing growth (贫困化增长).19.Immiserizing growth demands strict conditions, these conditions are economic growth is strongly export-biased , the growing country is large enough to affect the world price , RS and RD must be very steep .20.According to “ 梅茨勒悖论Metzle paradox ”, t ariffs and export subsidies (补贴) might have perverse (有害的) effects on internal price. 21.In the model of “Monopolistic (垄断) Competition and Trade”, firms of an individual nation face the trade-off between economies of scale and variety of products .22. Marshall argued that there were three main reasons why a cluster of firms (企业集群)may be more efficient than an individual firm in isolation: specialized supplies , labor market pooling ,knowledge spillovers (知识溢出)23.The pattern of intraindustry (产业内) trade itself is unpredicted, history and accident determine the details of the trade pattern.39. When there is external economies (外部经济), the pattern of international trade is determined by economics of scale interact with comparative advantage .24. The indexes (指标)of intrainindustry trade of a industry can be calculated by the standard formula:25. Interindustry trade and intrainindustry (产业内) trade are the sources of gains from trade . When countries are similar in their relative factor supplies 、scale economies and product differentiations are important , intrainindustry trade is the dominant source (主要来源) of gains from trade, everyone gains from trade. 26.The argument of temporary (暂时的) protection of industries to enable them to gain experience is known as 幼稚产业论the infant industry argument27. If we add together the gains and losses from a tariff, We find the net effect on national welfarecan be separated into two parts: terms of trade gain and efficiency loss 28.Why do countries adopt trade policies such as tariff or import quota, which produce more costs than benefits?—— trade politics29.In the political economy of trade policy (贸易政策的政治经济学) , government are assumed to (被假定为)maximize 政治成功political success rather than 国家福利 national welfare . 30.Deviations from free trade can sometimes increase national welfare. These arguments include the term of trade argument for a tariff and the domestic market failure argument31.According to “Specific rule (对症规则)”, domestic market failure should be corrected by domestic policies aimed directly at the problem’s sources.32. Although market failures are probably common, the domestic market failure argument against free trade should not be applied too freely.First domestic market failure should be corrected bydomestic policies aimed directly at the problems ’ sources ;Second economists cannot diagnose market failure well enough to prescribe policy .33. International trade often produces losers as well as winners. In the actual politics of trade policy,exp 1exp orts importsI orts imports -=-+income distribution is of crucial importance. 集体行动问题The problem of collective action can explain why policies that not only seem to produce more costs than benefits but that also seem to hurt far more voters them they can help can nonetheless be adopted.34.The WTO includes four aspects content: GATT 1994, GATS , TRIPS , TRIMS35.“Nondiscriminatory” principles (非歧视性原则)include most favored nation principle and national treatment principle 36.For preferential (优惠) trading agreements, such as customs union , countries must cede part of their sovereignty to supranational entity (必须放弃部分主权的超国家实体)37.Whether a customs union (关税同盟) is desirable (可取) or undesirable depends on whether it largely leads to trade creation or trade diversion .38.Trade policy in developing countries is concerned with two objectives (涉及两个目标): promoting industrialization and Coping with the problem of the dual economy . industrialization and coping with the problems of the dual economy. Correspondingly, there are two main arguments for developing countries to pursue policy of import-substituting industrialization. The two arguments are the infant industry argument t and market failure justification for infant industry protection .40. Sophisticated proponents of the infant industry argument have identified two market failures as reasons why infant industry protection may be a good idea: The imperfect capital markets justification and The appropriability argument .Part Ⅱ. True or False (true and false are denoted by “T” and “F”, respectively) 1. If a LW */a L C *<a LW /a L C , Home’s relative productivity in cheese is higher. (T )2. According to the Ricardian model, it is precisely because the relative wage is between the relative productivities that each country ends up with a cost advantage in one good.The good for which *Li a /Li a>w /*w will be produced in Foreign. ( F )3. It is precisely because the relative wage is between the relative productivities that each country ends up with a cost advantage in one good. ( T )4.Long-run convergence(长期收敛) in productivity (生产力)produces long-run convergence inwages. ( T )5. “Korean workers earn only $2.50 an hour; if we allow Korea to export as much as it likes to the United States, our workers will be f orced down to the same level. You can’t import a $5 shirt without importing the $2.50 wage that goes with it.” (F )6.The proposition that trade is beneficial is unqualified(不合格). That is, there is no requirement that a country be “competitive” or that the trade be “fair”. ( T)7. Free trade is beneficial only if your country is strong enough to stand up to foreign competition.( F )8. Foreign competition is unfair and hurts other countries when it is based on low wages. (F ) 9. Trade exploits a country and make it worse off if its workers receive much lower wage than workers in other nations. (F )10.The Ricardian Model predicts an extreme degree(预测一个极端的程度) of specialization(专业化). ( T )11.The Ricardian Model neglects(忽略) the effects on income distribution. (T )12. The basic prediction of the Ricardian model has been strongly confirmed by a number of studies over years. ( T )13. The Ricardian Model predicts that countries tend to export those goods in which their productivity is relative high. ( T )14. We can think of factor specificity as a matter of time. ( T )15.The opportunity cost of manufacture in terms of food is denoted by(表示) MPL M /MPL F . ( F ) 16.A equal proportional change in price have no real effects on the real wage, real income of capital owner and land owner. ( T )17. Trade benefits the factor that is specific to the import-competing sectors of each country buthurts the factor to the export sectors, with ambiguous effects on mobile factors. ( F )18.It is possible in principle for a country’s government to use taxes and subsidies(补贴) to redistribute(重新分配)income to give each individual more of both goods. ( T )19. Although international trade has strong effects on income distribution, there are still possible in principle to make each individual better off. ( T )20. Typically, those who gain from trade in any particular product are a much more concentrated, informed, and organized group than those who lose. ( F )21. Conflicts of interest(利益冲突) within nations are usually more important in determining trade policy than conflicts of interest between nations. ( T )22. Generally, economists do not regard the income distribution effects of trade as a good reason to limit trade. ( T )23.The formulation of trade policy(贸易政策的制定) is a kind of political process(政治进程). ( T )24. “The world’s poorest countries can’t find anything to export. There is no r esource that is abundant—certainly not capital or land, and in small poor nations not even labor is abundant.” ( F ) 25. Wage inequality in U.S. increased between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, economists attribute the change to the growing exports of manufactured goods from NIEs. ( T )26. If the factor-proportion theory was right, a country would always export factors for which the income share exceeded the factor share, import factors for which it was less. ( F )27.The H-O model can predict not only the direction but the volume of trade(贸易量). ( T )28.Factor trade in general turns out to be much smaller than the H-O model predicts. ( T )29. According to an influential recent paper, the H-O model can predict not only the direction but the volume of trade. Factor trade in general turn out to be t he same a s the H-O model predicts.( F )30. Only by dropping the Heckscher-Ohlin assumption that technologies are the same across the countries can the overall pattern of international trade be well predicted by the H-O model.( T )31.If a country want to maximize its national welfare, the consumption point is where the highest isovalue line is tangent to the highest reachable indifference curve. ( T )32.A rise in the terms of trade increases a country’s welfare, while a decline in the terms of trade reduces its welfare. ( T )33.Export-biased growth tends to improve the growing country’s terms of trade at the rest of the world’s expense.( F )34.If the two countries allocate(分配) their change in spending in the same proportions, there will not be a terms of trade effect. ( T )35. If the country receiving a transfer spends a higher proportion of an increase income on its export good than the giver, a transfer raises world relative demand for the recipient’s export good and thus improve its terms of trade.

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.。

(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.。

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 Figure 8.第七章(略)第8章4. g = 0.4 - (0.5)(0.4) = 0.4 - 0.2 = 0.2 = 40%1.0 - 0.5 0.5 0.5 7. 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. S(Y)+M(Y)=-100+0.2Y+150+0.2Y=50+0.4YI+X=100+350=45050+0.4Y=450; therefore, Y E=400/0.4=1000.b. See Figure 5.The equilibrium level of national income is Y E = 1,000 and is given by point E at whichthe positively-sloped S+M function crosses the horizontal I+X function.6. See Figure 6.The equilibrium level of national income is Y E = 1,000 and is given by point E at whichthe negatively-sloped X-M function crosses the positively-sloped S-I function.∆YE=(∆X)(k")=(200)(1.88)=376∆M=(∆YE)(MPM1)=(376)(0.20)=75.2∆S=(∆YE)(MPS1)=(376)(0.20)=75.2∆X=∆S+ ∆M=75.2+75.2=150.4 so that∆X-∆M=75.2=Nation 1's trade surplus.∆YE=(∆I)(k*)=(200)(3.13)=626∆M=(∆YE)(MPM1)=(626)(0.20)=125.2∆S=(∆YE)(MPS1)=(626)(0.20)=125.2200+∆X=125.2+125.2and ∆X=50.4 so that∆X-∆M=50.4-125.2=-74.8第十八章1. Point Change in D Change in RC1 increase devalueC4 increase revalueC7 decrease revalueC10 decrease devalue11. 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.

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。
