Essay Questions

1. Why is it that if an industry were operating under conditions of domestic internal scale economies

(applies to firm in the country)—then the resultant equilibrium cannot be consistent with the pure competition model?

Answer: Because once one firm became bigger than another, or if one firm began the industry, then no other firm would be able to match its per unit cost, so that they would be driven out of

the industry.

2. Is it possible that if positive scale economies characterize an industry, that its equilibrium may be

consistent with purely competitive conditions? Explain how this could happen.

Answer: Yes. If the scale economies were external to the firm, then there is no reason why the firms may not be in perfect competition.

3. If a scale economy is the dominant technological factor defining or establishing comparative

advantage, then the underlying facts explaining why a particular country dominates world markets in some product may be pure chance, or historical accident. Explain, and compare this with the answer you would give for the Heckscher-Ohlin model of comparative advantage.

Answer: This statement is true, since the reason the seller is a monopolist may be that it happened to have been the first to produce this product in this country. It may have no connection to

any supply or demand related factors; nor to any natural or man-made availability. This is

all exactly the opposite of the Heckscher-Ohlin Neo-Classical model’s explanation of the

determinants of comparative advantage.

4. It is possible that trade based on external scale economies may leave a country worse off than it

would have been without trade. Explain how this could happen.

Answer: One answer is that the terms of trade effects may dominate any other factors.

5. If scale economies were not only external to firms, but were also external to individual countries.

That is, the larger the worldwide industry (regardless of where firms or plants are located), the

cheaper would be the per-unit cost of production. Describe what world trade would look like in this case.

Answer: Presumably each country would specialize in some component of the final product. This would result in much observed intra-industry trade.

6. Why are increasing returns to scale and fixed costs important in models of international trade and

monopolistic competition?

Answer: There are many answers. Three of these are

(a) Increasing returns to scale, and high fixed costs may be inconsistent with perfect

competition. In such a case, the initial autarkic state may be a suboptimal equilibrium.

For example, relative prices may not equal marginal rates of transformation. It follows

from this that a change in output compositions associated with trade may result in a

national welfare for one or both trading countries that is inferior to that associated

with the initial autarkic conditions. Hence no “gains from trade.”

(b) In a case of increasing scale economies at the firm or plant level, the determination of

which product will be exported by which country is ex-ante indeterminate. Therefore,

deriving clear implications concerning the effects of trade on income distributions

such as may be derived from the Samuelson-Stolper Theorem is no longer generally

possible.

(c) Market structures containing positive scale economies and imperfect competition may

allow for “two-way trade,” or intra-industry trade. As in b. above, the various

theorems derivable from the Heckscher-Ohlin model concerning directions of trade

and income distributions are no longer generally applicable.

7. Explain why it may be argued that the relative importance of the intra-industry component of world

trade is likely to lessen economic strife or confrontation (a la Stolper-Samuelson) associated with commercial policy within countries in which overall trade is expanding?

Answer: In the case of the Neo-Classical H-O model, the expansion of trade will tend to increase the incomes of those factors in which the exports are relatively intense. This may create

situations in which unskilled lab or’s already relatively low relative incomes would worsen

in a country such as the U.S., hence heating up “class warfare.” In the case of intra-

industry trade, the expanding exports will tend to be in relatively fragmented subsets of

products (“brands”). S uch export expansion will have no determinant or systematic

tendency to affect relative factor returns in any deterministic manner.

8. Explain why positive economies of scale in one (of two) sectors may establish a comparative

advantage for the large (as compared to the small) country in the production of the commodity

which exhibits positive scale economies.

Answer: In the case of the H-O model, the actual size of the country is irrelevant in the

determination of the direction of trade (though it may affect the equilibrium terms of

trade). When positive scale economies apply to the production of one product, the country

that can devote more resources (in absolute terms) will be able to sell that product cheaper,

and therefore will be more likely to gain a “revealed” comparative advantage in that

product. This will be the country with more factors (both labor and capital)—the larger

country.

Quantitative/Graphing Problems

1. The figure above represents the demand and cost functions facing a Brazilian Steel producing

monopolist. If it were unable to export, and was constrained by its domestic market, what quantity would it sell at what price?

Answer: It would sell 5 (million tons) at a price of $8/ton.

2. Now the monopolist discovers that it can export as much as it likes of its steel at the world price of

$5/ton. It will therefore expand for-export production up to the point where its marginal cost equals $5. How much steel will the monopolist sell, and at what price?

Answer: It would sell 10 million tons at $5/ton.

3. Given the opportunity to sell at world prices, the marginal (opportunity) cost of selling a ton

domestically is what?

Answer: $5/ton.

4. While selling exports it would also maximize its domestic sales by equating its marginal

(opportunity) cost to its marginal revenue of $5. How much steel would the firm sell domestically, and at what price?

Answer: 4 million tons at $10/ton.

5. The Brazilian firm is charging its foreign (U.S.) customers one half the price it is charging its

domestic customers. Is this good or bad for the real income or economic welfare of the

United States? Is the Brazilian firm engaged in dumping? Is this predatory behavior on the part

of the Brazilian steel company?

Answer: Good. Yes, if you define dumping as selling abroad at a price lower than domestically. No, if by dumping you mean selling below marginal cost. No—this is not being done in order

to capture market shares, but rather is “mere” static profit maximization behavior, as is

expected of any self-respecting monopolist.

6. The following Table describes the labor-input coefficients needed to produce one Widget in England

and Portugal. Both countries are identical in size, tastes, technology. This technology is described in the table below:

To Produce This Many Widgets, Or This Many Apples Labor-Hour Requirements

1 3

2 5

3 6

4 7

5 8

6 9

7 10

Let us assume that each country has 10 labor-hours available. Further, consumers always consume an equal amount of apples and widgets.

(a) How of each product will be produced in England under autarky? 2 widgets and 2 apples.

(b) Judging from autarky conditions, which country has a comparative advantage in widgets?

(c) If England (completely) specialized in widgets, how many widgets would be produced, and how

many apples?

(d) If the world terms of trade were established at 3.5 widgets 3.5 Apples, which country would

enjoy gains from trade (as compared to The autarky solution?)

(e) If Portugal were to completely specialize in widgets, how would the answers to c and d change?

(f) What would the production possibility curve look like in each country?

Answers: (a) 2 widgets and 2 apples

(b) None

(c) 7 widgets in England and 7 apples in Portugal

(d) both would gain from trade. Instead of consuming 2 widgets and 2 apples, they would

each consume 3.5 widgets and 3.5 apples.

(e) Same numbers as c, except that the countries will each be assigned a different product.

Exactly the same answer for d.

(f) convex to the origin.

国际经济学课后答案解析

第一章绪论 1、列举出体现当前国际经济学问题的一些重要事件,他们为什么重要?他们都是怎么影响中国与欧、美、日的经济和政治关系的?当前的国际金融危机最能体现国际经济学问题,其深刻地影响了世界各国的金融、实体经济、政治等领域,也影响了各国之间的关系因此显得尤为重要;其对中国与欧、美、日的政治和经济关系的影响为:减少中国对上述国家的出口,影响中国外汇储备,贸易摩擦加剧,经济联系加强,因而也会导致中国与上述国家在政治上的对话与合作。 2、我们如何评价一国与他国之间的相互依赖程度?我们可以通过一国的对外贸易依存度来评价该国与他国之间的相互依赖程度,也可以通过其他方式来评价比如一国政府政策的溢出效应和回震效应以及对外贸易对国民生活水平的影响。 3、国际贸易理论及国际贸易政策研究的内容是什么?为什么说他们是国际经济学的微观方面?国际贸易理论分析贸易的基础和所得,国际贸易政策考察贸易限制和新保护主义的原因和效果。国际贸易理论和政策是国际经济学的微观方面,因为他们把国家看作基本单位,并研究单个商品的(相对)价格。 4、什么是外汇交易市场及国际收支平衡表?调节国际收支平衡意味着什么?为什么说他们是国际经济学的宏观方面?什么是宏观开放经济学及国际金融?外汇交易市场描述一国货币与他国货币交换的框架,国际收支平衡表测度了一国与外部世界交易的总收入与总支出的情况。调节国际收支平衡意味着调节一国与外部世界交易出现的不均衡(赤字或盈余);由于国际收支平衡表涉及总收入和总支出,调节政策影响国家收入水平和价格总指数,因而他们是国际经济学的宏观方面;外汇交易及国际收支平衡调节涉及总收入和总支出,调整政策影响国家收入水平和价格总指数,这些内容被称为宏观开放经济学或国际金融。 5、浏览报刊并做下列题目:(1)找出5条有关国际经济学的新闻(2)每条新闻对中国经济的重要性或影响(3)每条新闻对你个人有何影响 A (1) 国际金融危机: 影响中国整体经济,降低出口、增加失业、经济减速等 (2) 美国大选:影响中美未来经济政治关系 (3) 石油价格持续下跌:影响中国的能源价格及相关产业 (4) 可口可乐收购汇源被商务部否决:《反垄断法》的第一次实施,加强经济法治 (5) 各国政府经济刺激方案:对中国经济产生外部性效应B 以上5条新闻对个人影响为:影响个人消费水平和就业前景 第二章比较优势理论 1、重商主义者的贸易观点如何?他们的国家财富概念与现在有何不同?重商主义者主张政府应当竭尽所能孤立出口,不主张甚至限制商品(尤其是奢侈类消费品)。重商主义者认为国家富强的方法是尽量使出口大于进口,而出超的结果是金银等贵重金属流入,而一个国家拥有越多的金银,就越富有越强大。现在认为一个国家生产力即生产商品的能力越高则一国越富强 2、亚当.斯密主张的贸易基础和贸易模式分别是什么?贸易所得是如何产生的?斯密倡导什么样的国际贸易基础?他认为政府在经济生活中的适当功能是什么?亚当.斯密主张的贸易基础是绝对优势;贸易模式为两国通过专门生产自己有绝对优势的产品并用其中一部分来交换器有绝对劣势的商品。通过生产绝对优势商品并交换,资源可以被最有效的使用,而且两种商品的产出会有很大的增长,通过交换就会消费比以前更多的商品从而产生了贸易所得;斯密倡导自由贸易,主张自由放任也就是政府尽可能少干涉经济

国际经济学 名词: 1、国际经济学:是经济的一般理论在国际经济范围中的延伸和应用,是以经济学的一般理论为基础来研究国际经济活动与国际经济关系的经济学分支学科,是整个经济学体系的有机组成部分。主要研究对象有国际贸易理论与政策、国际收支、外汇理论、生产要素的国际流动、跨国公司、经济发展、经济一体化、开放经济的宏观调节、经济全球化与国际经济秩序研究等。 2、绝对利益:在某一种商品上,一个经济在劳动生产率上占有绝对优势,或其生产所耗费的劳动成本绝对低于另一经济,若各个经济都从事自己占有绝对优势商品的生产,继而进行交换,那么双方都可以通过交换得到绝对的利益,从而整个世界也可以获得分工的好处。 3、比较利益:甲国在生产任何产品时成本均低于乙国,劳动生产率均高于乙国,处于绝对优势,两个国家间进行贸易的可能性依然存在,因为两国劳动生产率之间的差距,并不是在任何产品上都一样。这样,处于绝对优势的国家集中生产本国国内具有最大优势的产品,处于绝对劣势的国家停止生产在本国国内处于最大劣势的产品,通过自由交换,双方都可节约社会劳动,增加产品的消费。世界也因而增加产量,提高劳动生产率。 4、国际分工:即各国之间的劳动分工,生产的国际专业化。它是国际贸易的基础,是社会分工从国内向国外延伸的结果。各国对于分工方式的选择以及分工的变化,反映了彼此之间经济发展水平的差异及各国经济联系的程度。主要有产业间、产业内、垂直、水平以及不同要素密集度之间的分工等类型。 5、贸易乘数:在开放的条件下,对外贸易的增长可以使国民经济成倍增加,对外贸易乘数研究一国对外贸易与国民收入、就业之间的互相影响,描述了在开放经济体系内部出口促进经济增长的动态过程。公式为: dY=[l/(dM/dY)] dX。(2003) 6、一价定律:在完全竞争的市场上,相同的交易产品或金融资产经过汇率调整后,在世界范围内其交易成本一定是相等的。这个定律在经济中是通过诸如购买力平价、利息平价、远期汇率等经济关系表现出来的。 7、贸易创造与贸易转移:关税同盟成员国产品从生产成本较高的国内生产转向成本较低的关税同盟中贸易对象国生产,本国从贸易对象国进口的一种过程和现象。的部分进口产品从过去进口自较低生产成本国(非成员国)转向从较高生产成本国(成员国)进口的过程和现象。 8、流动借贷:国际金融中决定汇率的理论——国际借贷说中的重要概念,指国际借贷中形成了借贷关系并且进入了实际支付的那种债权、债务关系,它对国际收支的平衡从而对汇率的走向有着重要的决定性影响。 9、固定借贷:国际金融中决定汇率的理论——国际借贷说中的重要概念,指国际借贷中形成了借贷关系但尚未进入实际支付的那种债权债务关系。它对国际收支从而对汇率的走向无实质决定性作用,有时甚至会产生相反的现象,即债务存在时汇率反而走高。 10、边际进口倾向:国际贸易理论中的一个重要概念,指每一单位增量国民收入中,用于进行进口的比重。通常在公式中用m来表示。边际进口倾向大,则每一单位增量国民收入中用于进口的比重大,乘数效应对于经济的刺激作用就会较小,反之则较大。 11、外汇倾销:利用本国货币对外贬值的机会,向外倾销商品和争夺市场的行为称外汇倾销。这是因为本国货币贬值后,出口商品用外国货币表示价格降低,提高了该国商品在国际市场上的竞争力,有利于扩大出口;而因本国货币贬值,进口商品的价格上涨,削弱了进口商品的竞争力,限制了进口。外汇倾销需要一定的条件,主要是本国货币对外贬值速度要快于对内贬值以及对方不进行报复等。 12、幼稚产业:具有比较利益的产业处于幼稚状态,经过保护使之发展,具有现实的比较利益。(1)穆勒标准:某种产业由于技术不足、生产率低下,成本高于国际市场,无法竞争,在保护下,能够在自由贸易下获利,自我投资发展,即为幼稚产业。(2)巴斯塔布尔标准:保护、扶植幼稚产业所需的社会成本不能超过该产业将来利润的现值总和,符合条件即为幼稚产业。(3)肯普标准:除了穆—巴标准的内容外,应考虑产业在被保护时期内的外部效应,如某种技术可为其他产业所获得,因而使得本产业利润无法增加,将来利润无法补偿投资成本,国家应该予以保护。 13、外汇:是货币行政当局以银行存款、财政部库券、长短期政府证券等形式保有的在国际收支逆差时可以用作支付使用的国际支付手段或债权。 14、汇率:是本国货币与其他货币之间的比价关系,是外汇在市场中的价格。从不同角度出发,汇率有多种表

Chapter 2 Chapter 12 1. 正如题目中所说的,GNP只包括最终产品和服务的价值的原因是为了避免重复计算。如果从GNP中减掉中间产品进口并加上中间产品出 口,那么就可以避免重复计算。以卖给丰田公司和通用汽车的美国钢铁为例,卖给通用汽车的钢铁由于其价值已经包含在美国生产的汽车 中,因此不应再计入美国GNP;由于丰田的产值计入日本GNP,卖给丰田的钢铁的价值不再以成品形态计入(日本)国民收入账户。日本 的GNP则应扣除这些钢铁的价值,因为这是美国生产要素的报酬。 2. 等式2可以写成CA = (S p - I) + (T - G),更高的进口壁垒对私人储蓄,投资及预算赤字几乎没有影响。若这些变量没有受影响,那么征收的关税或进口配额无助于改善经常项目账户收支状况(赤字)。但是贸易壁垒对经常账户的影响是柄双刃剑,例如,收关税保护的行 业的投资上升会恶化经常账户(有时关税确实被证明是正当的,因其为国内落后行业升级技术装备提供了机会)。另一方面,由于关税导 致的进口半产品成本上升,某些行业的投资可能下降。一般来说,永久性关税和临时性关税具有不同的效果。问题的关键在于,预测关税 以何种方式影响经常账户需要从一般均衡,也就是宏观经济角度分析。 3.(a)购买德国股票借记美国金融账户;由于开支票减少了他在瑞士银行的付款要求权,所以当他用瑞士银行的账户开出的支票支付时, 则贷记金融账户。在该案例中,美国人用持有的一种外国资产换取了另一种外国资产。 (b)购买股票借记美国金融账户,贷记则发生于德国售股者将美国支票存入德国银行而该银行又把钱借给德国进口商(贷记美国经常账 户)或购买美国资产的公司或个人(贷记美国金融账户)。德国银行的某些行为最终将贷记美国国际收支账户。 (c)法国政府通过出售美国资产,即它在美国银行的美元,干预外汇市场,因此借记美国金融账户。法国公民购买美元后,如购买美国 商品,则贷记美国经常账户;如购买美国资产,则贷记美国金融账户。 (d)假设发行旅行支票的公司使用它在法国的支票帐户进行支付。当它为这顿饭向法国饭店付款时,借记美国经常账户。旅行支票的发 行公司必须出售(美国的)资产(即减少在法国支票帐户上的存款),该公司在法国资产的减少意味着贷记美国金融账户。 (e)由于没有市场交易,经常账户和资本账户借贷双方都没有变化。 (f)离岸交易没有计入在美国国际收支。 4. 购买电话录音机分别借记纽约州,贷记新泽西州的经常账户;当新泽西公司把钱存到纽约银行时,分别贷记纽约州,借记新泽西州的 金融账户。如果交易使用的是现金,那么两州金融账户的变化仍与前述相同:新泽西州获得了美钞(从纽约进口资产,借记金融账户); 纽约州失去了美钞(出口钞票,贷记金融账户)。 5. (a)由于非央行渠道的资本流入只能以弥补经常账户5亿美元的赤字,因此Pecunia国际收支余额(官方结算余额)是-5亿美元。由 于国家要为10亿美元的经常账户赤字融资,因此Pecunia的海外净资产下降了10亿美元。 (b)对Pecunia国的外汇储备稍加研究,我们发现Pecunia的央行无法通过私人资本流入来为经常账户赤字融资。只有在外国中央银行 购进Pecunia资产的情况下Pecunia央行才可以避免动用5亿美元外汇储备来弥补经常账户赤字。Pecunia央行失去了5亿美元的外汇储 备,在国际收支账户中则体现为官方资本流入。 (c)如果外国官方资本流入是6亿美元,Pecunia就拥有1亿美元的国际收支顺差。换而言之,Pecunia只需要10亿美元弥补经常账户 赤字,但是却有10亿美元流入。因此Pecunia央行必须对外借出1亿美元以增加其储备。外国央行购买Pecunia资产的行为在其国际收 支账户中表现为资本流出,是借方项目。其中的基本原理是:这些交易导致了外国对Pecunia出售资产进行的支付。 (d)与央行间交易相伴的是,Pecunia金融账户显示外国在Pecunia持有的官方储备资产增加了6亿美元(贷记Pecunia金融账户,资本 流入),Pecunia在外国持有的官方储备资产(借记其金融账户,资本流出)增加了1亿美元。因此,10亿资本的净流入正好弥补了经常 账户赤字。 6. 从长期来看,经常账户盈余或赤字都是不能接受的。有些情况下,赤字是合理的,例如,为提高未来的国民收入而借款提高当前生产 能力。但是,对于任何时期的经常账户赤字,必然要有相应的时期支出少于收入以偿还外债。在没有特别的投资机会时,对于一个经济体 来说最好的情况莫过于长期的消费和支出相当。 一国央行持有的外汇储备会随着国际收支差额变动而变动。央行使用外汇储备来干预汇率,外汇储备不足会限制央行干预或固定汇率的能 力。对于一些国家而言(特别是发展中国家),当它们向国外贷款出现困难时,央行的储备就成了保持消费和投资的重要力量。高水平的 外汇储备还可使潜在的外国投资者确信该国是信誉卓著的。 7. 官方结算余额,也叫国际收支平衡,显示了像美联储和财政部这样的美国政府机构持有的外汇储备相对于外国政府机构持有的美元储 备的变动。该账户提供了美联储干预外汇市场程度的部分描述。例如,德国联邦银行购买美元并存在它在伦敦的欧洲美元账户中,虽然这 笔交易是外汇干预的一种形式,但它并没有体现在美国官方结算余额中。当伦敦银行将这笔存款贷记他在美国的账户时,这笔交易就体现 为私人资本流入。 8. 如果金融账户和资本账户的盈余超过经常账户赤字,那么一国可以既有经常项目赤字又有国际收支盈余。国际收支盈余=经常账户盈余 +资本账户盈余+金融账户盈余。例如,如果经常账户赤字为1亿美元,资本账户盈余为1.02亿美元,那么国际收支盈余为0.02亿美元。 本问题可以作为第十七章固定汇率和外汇干预的引言。在80年代的头几年美国政府没有直接干预外汇市场,课本上结果是国际收支差额 为0,而实际数字则显示在82年到85年有少量的国际收支盈余。这些年份有达尔的经常账户赤字,因此,在这些年里,美国的资本流入 超过了经常账户赤字。

克鲁格曼国际经济学第八版上册课后答案

Overview of Section II: International Trade Policy Section II of the text is comprised of four chapters: Chapter 8The Instruments of Trade Policy Chapter 9The Political Economy of Trade Policy Chapter 10Trade Policy in Developing Countries Chapter 11Controversies in Trade Policy n Section II Overview Trade policy issues figure prominently in current political debates and public policy discussions. The first two chapters of this section of the text are concerned with the instruments of trade policy and the arguments for free trade and managed trade. The second two chapters consider these concepts in the context of specific sets of countries that face common problems. Throughout, the use of case studies provides the student with real world examples that clearly illustrate the theoretical arguments. Chapter 8 discusses various instruments of trade policy including tariffs, quotas, voluntary export restraints, and local content requirements. The effects of these policies on prices and trade volumes are determined in the context of a partial equilibrium framework. The chapter reviews the analytical tools of consumer and producer surplus, and uses these tools to consider the welfare effects of various protectionist measures. The specific incidents of trade restrictions presented as case studies include import quotas on sugar entering United States markets, voluntary export restraints on Japanese autos, and oil import quotas. Chapter 9 presents the set of ideas known as the political economy of trade theory. These ideas enable you to understand why certain trade restrictions exist, despite the force of general economic arguments which suggest that they reduce aggregate welfare. Possible motivations for trade restrictions are identified as those which increase national welfare, such as the optimum tariff, and those which foster either income

克鲁格曼 国际经济学第9版教材答案

Chapter 1 Introduction ?Chapter Organization What Is International Economics About? The Gains from Trade The Pattern of Trade How Much Trade? Balance of Payments Exchange Rate Determination International Policy Coordination The International Capital Market International Economics: Trade and Money ?Chapter Overview The 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 on 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 Mexican 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. 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 highlighted the way in which various national economies are linked and how important it is for us to understand these connections. These global linkages have been highlighted yet again with the rapid spread of the financial crisis in the United States to the rest of the world. At the same time, protests at global economic meetings and a rising wave of protectionist rhetoric have highlighted opposition to globalization. The text material will enable students to understand the economic context in which such events occur. ? 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison-Wesley
