This chapter presents a general model that admits previous models as special cases. This “standard trade model” is the workhorse of international trade theory and can be used to address a wide range of issues. Some of these issues, such as the welfare and distributional effects of economic growth, transfers between nations, and tariffs and subsidies on traded goods, are considered in this chapter.© 2015 Pearson Education LimitedThe standard trade model is based upon four relationships. First, an economy will produce at the point where the production possibilities curve is tangent to the relative price line (called the isovalue line). Second, indifference curves describe the tastes of an economy, and the consumption point for that economy is found at the tangency of the budget line and the highest indifference curve. These two relationships yield the familiar general equilibrium trade diagram for a small economy (one that takes as given the terms of trade), where the consumption point and production point are the tangencies of the isovalue line with the highest indifference curve and the production possibilities frontier, respectively.You may want to work with this standard diagram to demonstrate a number of basic points. First, an autarkic economy must produce what it consumes, which determines the equilibrium price ratio; and second, opening an economy to trade shifts the price ratio line and unambiguously increases welfare. Third, an improvement in the terms of trade (ratio of export prices to import prices) increases welfare in the economy. Fourth, it is straightforward to move from a small country analysis to a two-country analysis by introducing a structure of world relative demand and supply curves, which determine relative prices.These relationships can be used in conjunction with the Rybczynski and the Stolper-Samuelson theorems from the previous chapter to address a range of issues. For example, you can consider whether the dramatic economic growth of China has helped or hurt the United States as a whole and also identify the classes of individuals within the United States who have been hurt by China’s particular growth biases. In teaching these points, it might be interesting and useful to relate them to current events. For example, you can lead a class discussion on the implications for the United States of the provision of forms of technical and economic assistance to the emerging economies around the world or the ways in which a world recession can lead to a fall in demand for U.S. exports.The example provided in the text considers the popular arguments in the media that growth in China hurts the United States. The analysis presented in this chapter demonstrates that the bias of growth is important in determining welfare effects rather than the country in which growth occurs. The existence of biased growth and the possibility of immiserizing growth are discussed. The Relative Supply (RS) and Relative Demand (RD) curves illustrate the effect of biased growth on the terms of trade. The new termsof trade line can be used with the general equilibrium analysis to find the welfare effects of growth. A general principle that emerges is that a country that experiences export-biased growth will have a deterioration in its terms of trade, while a country that experiences import-biased growth has an improvement in its terms of trade. A case study argues that this is really an empirical question, and the evidence suggests that the rapid growth of countries like China has not led to a significant deterioration of the U.S. terms of trade nor has it drastically improved China’s terms of trade.The second area to which the standard trade model is applied is the effects of tariffs and export subsidies on welfare and terms of trade. The analysis proceeds by recognizing that tariffs or subsidies shift both the relative supply and relative demand curves. A tariff on imports improves the terms of trade, expressed in external prices, while a subsidy on exports worsens terms of trade. The size of the effect depends upon the size of the country in the world. Tariffs and subsidies also impose distortionary costs upon the economy. Thus, if a country is large enough, there may be an optimum, nonzero tariff. Export subsidies, however, only impose costs upon an economy. Internationally, tariffs aid import-competing sectors and hurt export sectors, while subsidies have the opposite effect.The chapter then closes with a discussion of international borrowing and lending. The standard trade model is adapted to trade in consumption across time. The relative price of future consumption is defined as 1/(1 r), where r is the real interest rate. Countries with relatively high real interest rates (newly industrializing countries with high investment returns for example) will be biased toward future consumption and will effectively “export” future consumption by borrowing from established developed countries with relatively lower real interest rates.Chapter 6 The Standard Trade Model 29Answers to Textbook Problems1.If the relative price of palm oil increases in relation to the price of lubricants, this would increase theproduction of palm oil, because Indonesia exports palm oil. Similarly, an increase in relative price of lubricants leads to a shift along the indifference curve, towards lubricants and away from palm oil for Indonesia. This is because Palm oil is relatively expensive, hence reducing palm oil consumption in Indonesia.Expensive palm oil increases the relative income of Indonesia. The income effect would induce more for the consumption of palm oil whereas the substitution effect acts to make the economy consume less of palm oil and more of lubricants. However, if the income effect outweighs the substitution effect, then the consumption of palm oil would increase in Indonesia.2.In panel a, the re duction of Norway’s production possibilities away from fish cause the production of fish relative to automobiles to fall. Thus, despite the higher relative price of fish exports, Norway moves down to a lower indifference curve representing a drop in welfare.In panel b, the increase in the relative price of fish shifts causes Norway’s relative production of fish to rise (despite the reduction in fish productivity). Thus, the increase in the relative price of fish exports allows Norway to move to a higher indifference curve and higher welfare.3. The terms of trade of the home country would worsen. This is because a strong biased productiontowards cloth would increase the home country’s supply of cloth and shifts the supply curve to the right. At the same time, the production of wheat would decline relative to the production of cloth. An increased supply of cloth would reduce the price at the domestic and at the international market. The reduction in international price of cloth would worsen the terms of trade of the home country as the home country exports. On the other hand, if the home country’s production grows in favor of wheat, the terms of trade would improve in favor of the home country. This is because wheat is imported by the home country.© 2015 Pearson Education Limited。

This is a long and crucial core chapter and may require four classes to cover adequately. In thefirst lecture, I would present Sections 1-4 and assign review questions 1-3.2. In the second lecture of Chapter 2, I would concentrate on Sections 5-6 and carefully explain the law of comparative advantage using simple numerical examples, as in the text. Both sections are crucial. Section 5 explains the law of comparative advantage and Section 6 establishes the link between trade theory and international finance. I find that the numerical explanations before the graphical analysis really helps the student to truly understand the law. The simple lawyer-secretary example should also render the law more immediately relevant to the student. I would also assign Problems 4-7.3. In the third lecture, I would cover Sections 7-9 and assign Problems 8-10.4. In the fourth lecture, I would Section 10 and go over problems 4-10. The appendixes could bemade optional for the more enterprising students in the class.Answer to Review Questions and Problems1. The mercantilists believed that the way for a nation to become rich and powerful was toexport more than it imported. The resulting export surplus would then be settled by an inflow of gold and silver and the more gold and silver a nation had, the richer and more powerful it was. Thus, the government had to do all in its power to stimulate the nation’s exports and discourage and restrict imports. However, since all nations could not simultaneously have an export surplus and the amount of gold and silver was fixed at any particular point in time, one nation could gain only at the expense of other nations. The mercantilists thus preached economic nationalism, believing that national interests were basically in conflict.Adam Smith, on the other hand, believed that free trade would make all nations better off.All of this is relevant today because many of the arguments made in favor of restrictinginternational trade to protect domestic jobs are very similar to the mercantilists argumentsmade three or four centuries ago. That is why we can say that “mercantilism is alive and well in the twenty-first century”. Thus we have to be prepared to answer and demonstrate thatthese arguments are basically wrong.2. According to Adam Smith, the basis for trade was absolute advantage, or one country being more productive or efficient in the production of some commodities and other countriesbeing more productive in the production of other commodities.The gains from trade arise as each country specialized in the production of the commodities in which it had an absolute advantage and importing those commodities in which the nation had an absolute disadvantage.Adam Smith believed in free trade and laissez-faire, or as little government interference with the economic system as possible. There were to be only a few exceptions to this policy of laissez-faire and free trade. One of these was the protection of industries important for national defense.3. Ricardo’s law of comparative advantage is superior to Smith’s theory of absolute advantage inthat it showed that even if a nation is less efficient than or has an absolute disadvantage in theproduction of all commodities with respect to the other nations, there is still a basis for beneficial trade for all nations.The gains from trade arise from the increased production of all commodities that arises wheneach country specializes in the production of and exports the commodities of its comparativeadvantage and imports the other commodities.A nation that is less efficient than others will be able to export the commodities of its compara-tive advantage by having its wages and other costs sufficiently lower than in other nations so asto make the commodities of its comparative advantage cheaper in terms of the same currencywith respect to the other nations.4. a. In case A, the United States has an absolute and a comparative advantage in wheat and theUnited Kingdom in cloth.In case B, the United States has an absolute advantage (so that the United Kingdom has anabsolute disadvantage) in both commodities.In case C, the United States has an absolute advantage in wheat but has neither an absoluteadvantage nor disadvantage in cloth.In case D, the United States has an absolute advantage over the United Kingdom in bothcommodities.b. In case A, the United States has a comparative advantage in wheat and the United Kingdomin cloth.In case B, the United States has a comparative advantage in wheat and the United Kingdomin cloth.In case C, the United States has a comparative advantage in wheat and the United Kingdomin cloth.In case D, the United States and the United Kingdom have a comparative advantage in neither commodities.5. 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.6. a. The cost in terms of labor content of producing wheat is 1/4 in the United States and 1 in the United Kingdom, while the cost in terms of labor content of producing cloth is 1/3 in theUnited States and 1/2 in the United Kingdom.b. In the United States, Pw=$1.50 and Pc=$2.00.c. In the United Kingdom, Pw=￡1.00 and Pc=￡0.50.7. The United States has a comparative disadvantage in the production of textiles. Restrictingtextile imports would keep U.S. workers from eventually moving into industries in which the United States has a comparative advantage and in which wages are higher.8. Ricardo’s explanation of the law of comparative is unacceptable because it is based on the labor theory of value, which is not an acceptable theory of value.The explanation of the law of comparative advantage can be based on the opportunity costdoctrine, which is an acceptable theory of value.9. The production possibilities frontier reflects the opportunity costs of producing bothcommodities in the nation.The production possibilities frontier under constant costs is a (negatively sloped) straight line. The absolute slope of the production possibilities frontier reflects or gives the price of thecommodity plotted along the horizontal axis in relation to the commodity plotted along thevertical axis.10. a. See Figure 1.b. In the United States Pw/Pc=3/4, while in the United Kingdom, Pw/Pc=2.c. In the United States Pc/Pw=4/3, while in the United Kingdom Pc/Pw=1/2.d. See Figure 2.The autarky points are A and A' in the United States and the United Kingdom, respectively. The points of production with trade are B and B' in the United States and the UnitedKingdom, respectively.The points of consumption are E and E' in the United States and the United Kingdom,respectively. The gains from trade are shown by E > A for the U.S. and E' > A' for the U.K.Fig 1.1aU.K. Fig 1.1bFigure1Fig 1.2aFig 1.2bFigure2Multiple-Choice Questions1.

This is one of the most important and difficult chapters in the book. It is also a long chapter andrequires four lectures to cover adequately.2. In the first lecture, I would cover sections 1-3. Section 3 is one of the most important sections inthe book because it presents the H-O model. I would proceed slowly and carefully in explaining Figure 4.1 and compare it to the standard trade model of Figure 3.4.3. In the second lecture, I would cover sections 4 and 5. Section 4 on the factor-price equalizationtheorem and income distribution is a difficult section. Case Study 4-2 should be of great interest to the students and give rise to a great deal of class discussion.4. In third lecture, I would cover sections sections 6-7, paying a great deal of attention to section 7on trade in differentiated products.5. In fourth lecture, I would cover the rest of the chapter.Answers to Review Questions and Problems1. a. The Heckscher–Ohlin (H-0) theorem postulates that a nation will export those commodi- ties whose production requires the intensive use of the nation’s relatively abundant and cheap factor and import the commodities whose production requires the intensive useof the nation’s relatively scarce and expensive factor. In short, the relatively labor-richnation exports relatively labor-intensive commodities and imports the relativelycapital-intensive commodities.b. Heckscher and Ohlin identify the relative difference in factor endowments amongnations as the basic determinant of comparative advantage and international trade.c. The H-O Theory represent an extension of the standard trade model because it explains the basis for comparative advantage (classical economists, such as Ricardo had assumed it) and examines the effect of international trade on factor prices and income distribution (which classical economists had left unanswered).2. See Figure 1 on the next page.3. a. The factor–price equalization theorem postulates that international trade will bring about the equalization of the returns to homogeneous or identical factors across nations.b. The Stopler-Samuelson theorem postulates that free international trade reduces the realincome of the nation’s relatively scarce factor and increases the real income of the nation’s relatively abundant factor.Fig 4.1Fig 4.2XXb. The specific-factors model postulates that the opening of trade (1) benefits the specific factorused in the production of the nation’s export commodity, (2) harms the specific factor used in the production of the nation’s import-competing industry, and (3) leads to an ambiguouseffect (i.e., it may benefit or harm) the mobile factor.c. Trade acts as a substitute for the international mobility of factors of production in itseffect on factor prices. With perfect mobility, labor would migrate from the low-wagenation to the high-wage nation until wages in the two nations are equalized. Similarly,capital would move from the low-interest to the high-interest nation until the rate ofinterest was equalized in the two nations.4. a. The Leontief paradox refers to the original Leontief’s finding that U.S. import substituteswere more K-intensive than U.S. exports. This was the opposite of what the H-O theorempostulated.b. The Leontief paradox was resolved by including human capital into the calculations andexcluding industries based on natural resources. Recent research using data on many sectors, for many countries, over many years, and considering that countries could specialize in aparticular subset or group of commodities that were best suited to their specific factorendowments, provides strong support for the H-O theorem.c. The Hecksher-Olhin theory remains the centerpiece of modern trade theory for explaininginternational trade today. To be sure, there are other forces (such as economies of scale,product differentiation, and technological differences across countries) that provide additional reasons and explanations for some international trade not explained by the basic H-O model.These other trade theories complement the basic H-O model in explaining the pattern ofinternational trade in the world today.5. International trade with developing economies, especially newly industrializing economies (NIEs), contributed in two ways to increased wage inequalities between skilled and unskilled workers in the United States during the past two decades. Directly, by reducing the demand for unskilledworkers as a result of increased U.S. imports of labor-intensive manufactures and, indirectly, byspeeding up the introduction of labor-saving innovations, which further reduced the U.S.demand for unskilled workers. International trade, however, was only a small cause of increased wage inequalities in the United States. The most important cause was technological change.6. a. Economies of scale refer to the production situation where output grows proportionatelymore than the increase in inputs or factors of production. For example, output may morethan double with a doubling of inputs.b. Even if two nations were identical in every respect, there is still a basis for mutually bene-ficial trade based on economies of scale. When each nation specializes in the production of one commodity, the combined total world output of both commodities will be greater thanthan without specialization when economies of scale are present. With trade, each nationthen shares in these gains.c. The new international economies of scale refers to the increase in productivity resultingfrom firms purchasing parts and components from nations where they are made cheaperand better, and by establishing production facilities abroad-26-7. a. Product differentiation refers to products that are similar, but not identical. Intra-industrytrade refers to trade in differentiated products, as opposed to inter-industry trade incompletely different products.b. Intra-industry trade arises in order to take advantage of important economies of scale inproduction. That is, with intra-industry trade each firm or plant in industrial countries canspecialize in the production of only one, or at most a few, varieties and styles of the sameproduct rather than many different varieties and styles of a product and achieve economies of scale.c. With few varieties and styles, more specialized and faster machinery can be developedfor a continuous operation and a longer production run. The nation then imports othervarieties and styles from other nations. Intra-industry trade benefits consumers because ofthe wider range of choices (i.e., the greater variety of differentiated products) available atthe lower prices made possible by economies of scale in production.8. a. According to the technological gap model, a firm exports a new product until imitators incountries take away its market. In the meantime, the innovating firm will have introduced a new product or process.b. The criticism of the technological gap model are that it does not explain the size of techno- logical gaps and does not explore the reason for technological gaps arising in the first place, or exactly how they are eliminated over time.c. The five stages of the product cycle model are: the introduction of the product, expansion of production for export, standardization and beginning of production abroad through imitation, foreign imitators underselling the nation in third markets, and foreigners underselling theinnovating firms in their home market as well.9. See Figure 2 on page 25.10. A nation with lower environmental standards can use the environment as a resource endow-ment or as a factor of production in attracting polluting firms from abroad and achieving acomparative advantage in the production of polluting goods and services. This can lead totrade disputes with nations with more stringent environmental standards.-27-Multiple-Choice Questions1.

Assume that both the United States and Germany produce beef and computer chips with the following costs:United States Germany(dollars) (marks)Unit cost of beef (B) 2 8Unit cost of computer chips (C) 1 2(a) What is the opportunity cost of beef (B) and computer chips (C) in each country?(b) In which commodity does the United States have a comparative cost advantage?What about Germany?(c) What is the range for mutually beneficial trade between the United States and Germanyfor each computer chip traded?(b) How much would the United States and Germany gain if 1 unit of beef is exchangedfor 3 chips?Answ. (a) In the United States:the opportunity cost of one unit of beef is 2 chips;the opportunity cost of one chip is 1/2 unit of beef.In Germany:the opportunity cost of one unit of beef is 4 chips;the opportunity cost of one chip is 1/4 unit of beef.(b) The United States has a comparative cost advantage in beef with respect to Germany,while Germany has a comparative cost advantage in computer chips.(c) The range for mutually beneficial trade between the United States and Germany foreach unit of beef that the United States exports is2C < 1B < 4C(d) Both the United States and Germany would gain 1 chip for each unit of beef traded.2. Given: (1) two nations (1 and 2) which have the same technology but different factor costs conditions, and (3) no transportation costs, tariffs, or other obstructions to trade.Prove geometrically that mutually advantageous trade between the two nations is possible.Note: Your answer should show the autarky (no-trade) and free-trade points of production and consumption for each nation, the gains from trade of each nation, and express the equilibrium condition that should prevail when trade stops expanding.)Ans.: See the figure below.Fig 4.3Fig 4.4Nations 1 and 2 have different production possibilities curves and different community indifference maps. With these, they will usually end up with different relative commodity prices in autarky, thus making mutually beneficial trade possible.In the figure, Nation 1 produces and consumes at point A and Px/Py=P A in autarky, while Nation 2 produces and consumes at point A' and Px/Py=P A'. Since P A < P A', Nation 1 has a comparative advantage in X and Nation 2 in Y. Specialization in production proceeds until point B in Nation 1 and point B' in Nation 2, at which P B =P B' and the quantity supplied for export of each commodity exactly equals the quantity demanded for import.Thus, Nation 1 starts at point A in production and consumption in autarky, moves to point B in production, and by exchanging BC of X for CE of Y reaches point E in consumption. E > A since it involves more of both X and Y and lies on a higher community indifference curve.Nation 2 starts at A' in production and consumption in autarky, moves to point B' in production, and by exchanging B'C' of Y for C'E' of X reaches point E'in consumption (which exceeds A').At Px/Py=P B =P B', Nation 1 wants to export BC of X for CE of Y, while Nation 2 wants to export B'C' (=CE) of Y for C'E' (=BC) of X. Thus, P B =P B' is the equilibrium relative commodity price because it clears both (the X and Y) markets.3. (a) Identify the conditions that may give rise to trade between two nations. (b) What aresome of the assumptions on which the Heckscher-Ohlin theory is based? (c) What does this theory say about the pattern of trade and effect of trade on factor prices?Ans. (a) Trade can be based on a difference in factor endowments, technology, or tastesbetween two nations. A difference either in factor endowments or technology results in a different production possibilities frontier for each nation, which, unlessneutralized by a difference in tastes, leads to a difference in relative commodity price and mutually beneficial trade. If two nations face increasing costs and have identical production possibilities frontiers but different tastes, there will also be a differencein relative commodity prices and the basis for mutually beneficial trade between the two nations. The difference in relative commodity prices is then translated into adifference in absolute commodity prices between the two nations, which is the immediate cause of trade.(b) The Heckscher-Ohlin theory (sometimes referred to as the modern theory – asopposed to the classical theory - of international trade) assumes that nations have the same tastes, use the same technology, face constant returns to scale (i.e., a givenpercentage increase in all inputs increases output by the same percentage) but differ widely in factor endowments. It also says that in the face of identical tastes or demand conditions, this difference in factor endowments will result in a difference in relative factor prices between nations, which in turn leads to a difference in relativecommodity prices and trade. Thus, in the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, the internationaldifference in supply conditions alone determines the pattern of trade. To be noted is that the two nations need not be identical in other respects in order for internationaltrade to be based primarily on the difference in their factor endowments.(c) The Heckscher-Ohlin theorem postulates that each nation will export the commodityintensive in its relatively abundant and cheap factor and import the commodityintensive in its relatively scarce and expensive factor. As an important corollary, itadds that under highly restrictive assumptions, trade will completely eliminate thepretrade relative and absolute differences in the price of homogeneous factors amongnations. Under less restrictive and more usual conditions, however, trade will reduce, but not eliminate, the pretrade differences in relative and absolute factor prices among nations. In any event, the Heckscher-Ohlin theory does say something very useful onhow trade affects factor prices and the distribution of income in each nation. Classical economists were practically silent on this point.-33-4. Suppose that tastes change in Nation 1 (the L-abundant and L-cheap nation) so that consumers demand more of commodity X (the L-intensive commodity) and less of commodity Y (the K- intensive commodity). Suppose that Nation 1 is India, commodity X is textiles, and commodi- ty Y is food. Starting from the no-trade equilibrium position and using the Heckscher-Ohlinmodel, trace the effect of this change in tastes on India's (a) relative commodity prices anddemand for food and textiles, (b) production of both commodities and factor prices, and(c) comparative advantage and volume of trade. (d) Do you expect international trade to leadto the complete equalization of relative commodity and factor prices between India and theUnited States? Why?Ans. (a) The change in tastes can be visualized by a shift toward the textile axis in India'sindifference map in such a way that an indifference curve is tangent to the steepersegment of India's production frontier (because of increasing opportunity costs) after the increase in demand for textiles. This will cause the pretrade relative commodity price of textiles to rise in India.(b) The increase in the relative price of textiles will lead domestic producers in India toshift labor and capital from the production of food to the production of textiles. Since textiles are L-intensive in relation to food, the demand for labor and therefore the wage rate will rise in India. At the same time, as the demand for food falls, thedemand for and thus the price of capital will fall. With labor becoming relative more expensive, producers in India will substitute capital for labor in the production of both textiles and food.(c) Even with the rise in relative wages and in the relative price of textiles, India stillremains the L-abundant and low-wage nation with respect to a nation such as theUnited States. However, the pretrade difference in the relative price of textilesbetween India and the United States is now somewhat smaller than before the change in tastes in India. As a result the volume of trade required to equalize relativecommodity prices and hence factor prices is smaller than before. That is, India need now export a smaller quantity of textiles and import less food than before for therelative price of textiles in India and the United States to be equalized. Similarly, the gap between real wages and between India and the United States is now smaller and can be more quickly and easily closed (i.e., with a smaller volume of trade).(d) Since many of the assumptions required for the complete equalization of relativecommodity and factor prices do not hold in the real world, great differences can be expected and do in fact remain between real wages in India and the United States.Nevertheless, trade would tend to reduce these differences, and the H-O model does identify the forces that must be considered to analyze the effect of trade on thedifferences in the relative and absolute commodity and factor prices between Indiaand the United States.-34-5. (a) Explain why the Heckscher-Ohlin trade model needs to be extended. (b) Indicate in what important ways the Heckscher-Ohlin trade model can be extended. (c) Explain what ismeant by differentiated products and intra-industry trade.Ans. (a) The Heckscher-Ohlin trade model needs to be extended because, while generallycorrect, it fails to explain a significant portion of international trade, particularly the trade in manufactured products among industrial nations.(b) The international trade left unexplained by the basic Heckscher-Ohlin trade model canbe explained by (1) economies of scale, (2) intra-industry trade, and (3) trade based on imitation gaps and product differentiation.(c) Differentiated products refer to similar, but not identical, products (such as cars,typewriters, cigarettes, soaps, and so on) produced by the same industry or broadproduct group. Intra-industry trade refers to the international trade in differentiated products.-35-。
国际经济学第十版答案

This is not a core chapter and I would skip it, except for sections 7-4 to 7-8 dealing with theEuropean Union (EU), The European Free Trade Association, the North American FreeTrade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Southern Common Market (Mercosur).2. I would take two classes to cover the material. Case Studies 7-1 to 7-4 can be used for a very stimulating class discussion.Answers to Problems: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. The formation by Nation A of a customs union with Nation B leads to trade creationonly because Nation A replaces the 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 $12.4. 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 importing it from Nation C at the tariff- inclusive price of $9.b. The formation by Nation A of a customs union with Nation B leads not only to tradecreation but also to trade diversion because it replaces lower-cost imports of commodity X of $6 (from the point of view of Nation A as a whole) with higher priced imports of Commodity X from Nation B at $8.Specifically, Nation A's importers do not import commodity X from Nation C becausethe tariff-inclusive price of commodity X from Nation C is $9 as compared with theno-tariff price of $8 for imports of commodity X from Nation B. However, since thegovernment of Nation A collects the $3 tariff per unit on imports of commodity Xfrom Nation C, the net effective price for imports of commodity X from Nation C isreally $6 for Nation A as a whole.-54-5. a. See Figure 1 below.b. The net gain from the trade-diverting customs union shown in Figure 1 is given byC'JJ'+B'HH'-MJ'H'N. As contrasted with the case in Figure 7-1 in the text, however,the sum of the areas of the two triangles (measuring gains) is here greater than the area the rectangle (measuring the loss). Thus, the nation would now gain from the formation of a custom union. Had we drawn the figure on graph paper, we would have been able to measure the net gain in monetary terms also.6. A customs union that leads to both trade creation and trade diversion is more likely to lead to a net positive welfare gain of the nation joining the union (1) the smaller is the relative inefficiency of the union member in relation to the non-union member and (2) the higher is the level of the tariff imposed by the customs union on the non-union member.7. The dynamic benefits resulting from the formation of a customs union are (1) increasedcompetition, (2) economies of scale, (3) stimulus to investment, and (4) better utilizationof economic resources. These are likely to be much more significant than the static benefits.8. See Figure 2 below. The formation of the customs union has no effect.9. NAFTA created much more controversy because the very low wages in Mexico led togreat fears of large job losses in the U. S.10. The possible cost to the U.S. from EU92 arose from the increased efficiency andcompetitiveness of the E.U. The benefit arose because a more rapid growth in the EUspills into a greater demand for American products, which benefits the U. S.Fig 7.1xPFig 7.2xP-55-Multiple-choice Questions:1.

萨尔瓦多《国际经济学》(第10版)课后习题详解-第18章 开放经济宏观经济学：调整政策【圣才出品】
第18章 开放经济宏观经济学：调整政策一、概念题1．曲线（ curve）BP BP答：曲线是在其他参数变量固定的前提下，以利率为纵坐标，国民收入为横坐标BP表示的国际收支均衡的曲线。
曲线包含三方面含义：①对于曲线上任何一点均代表BP BP国际收支平衡；而在曲线之下或之上的区域内任何一点，与曲线上的均衡点相比，BP BP则表示国际收支处于逆差或顺差状态。
②在通常情况下，曲线向上倾斜，即斜率为正，BP这代表利率与实际国民收入同方向变动。
③国际收支平衡的曲线的形状存在两种极端BP情况：没有资本流动情况下的垂直线和资本完全自由流动下的水平线。
2．直接控制（direct controls）答：直接控制也称直接管制，是指政府直接对国际经济交易进行行政干预，以使国际收支达到平衡的政策措施，包括贸易控制、外汇控制和其他控制。
直接管制通常能起到迅速改善国际收支的效果，能按照本国的不同需要，对进出口贸易和资本流动区别对待。
但是，它并不能真正解决国际收支平衡问题，只是将显性国际收支赤字变为隐性国际收支赤字；一旦取消管制，国际收支赤字仍会重新出现。
此外，实行管制政策，既为国际经济组织所反对，又会引起他国的反抗和报复。
3．外汇控制（exchange controls）答：外汇控制是指一国政府为平衡国际收支和维持本国货币汇率而对外汇进出实行的限制性措施，在中国又称外汇管理。
它是一国政府通过法令对国际结算和外汇买卖进行限制的一种限制进口的国际贸易政策。
外汇控制分为数量控制和成本控制。
前者是指国家外汇管理机构对外汇买卖的数量直接进行限制和分配，通过控制外汇总量达到限制出口的目的；后者是指，国家外汇管理机构对外汇买卖实行复汇率制，利用外汇买卖成本的差异，调节进口商品结构。
4．支出—改变政策（expenditure-changing policies）答：支出—改变政策是指政府通过财政政策来改变经济中对商品和劳务的总需求水平，从而实现内外均衡的政策。
萨尔瓦多《国际经济学》课后习题详解(国际货币体系：过去、现在与未来)【圣才出品】
第21章国际货币体系：过去、现在与未来一、概念题1．调整（adjustment）答：调整是评价国际货币体系好坏的标准之一，是指国际货币体系纠正国际收支失衡的过程。
一个好的国际货币体系应该使调整成本和所需时间最小。
2．善意忽视（benign neglect）答：善意忽视是指在浮动汇率制度中，货币当局对汇率采取的一种相对放任的态度，较少地对外汇市场进行干预，而由货币本身价值的变化自动调节国际收支状况。
3．布雷顿森林体系（Bretton Woods System）答：布雷顿森林体系是第二次世界大战即将结束时创立的国际货币体系。
该体系是根据《国际货币基金协定》创立的。
主要特点是：规定美元与黄金挂钩，确认美国1934年1月规定的1美元含金量为0.888671克，即35美元＝1盎司黄金；规定其他各国货币按含金量同美元挂钩；市场汇率的波动幅度若超过平价上下1%，各国政府有义务进行市场干预；平价变动幅度如超过10%时则须得到国际货币基金组织的同意，由此形成了固定汇率制度，促进了国际贸易与金融关系的发展。
20世纪60年代频繁爆发的美元危机削弱了布雷顿森林体系，并迫使美国政府于1971年8月15日宣布停止美元兑换黄金。
1973年3月起，主要西方国家相继实行浮动汇率制，布雷顿森林体系正式宣告瓦解。
4．可靠性（confidence）答：可靠性是评价国际货币体系好坏的标准之一，是指国际货币体系调节机制具有正常运行的自动机制，能够保持国际储备的绝对价值和相对价值。
5．信用份额（credit tranches）答：信用份额是指国际货币基金组织为其成员国提供不受任何限制或附加条件约束的贷款的额度。
一般来说，一个成员国一年内的借款不得超过其配额的25%，每5年的借款总额不得超过其配额的125%，在此范围内，这些借款可自动获得。
当一国的借款超过所设定的信用份额时，国际货币基金组织就要收取越来越高的利息，而且进行越来越严格的监督，附加越来越多的条件，以确保该逆差国正在采取正确的措施以消除其赤字。

国际经济学（第十版）多米尼克.萨尔瓦多(著)P16页练习题6.（1）根据消费者需求理论，当其他条件不变时，一种商品价格的提高（如由于税率的上浮所致），会带来需求量的什么变化？答：根据消费者需求理论，当其他条件不变时，一种商品价格的提高，则该商品的需求量将会下降。
（2）根据消费者需求理论，一种进口商品价格的提高（如由于进口关税的上浮所致），会带来需求量的什么变化？答：根据消费者需求理论，一种进口商品价格的提高，则该商品的出口量将会下降。
7．（1）一国政府如何能消除或减少预算赤字？答：一国政府可以通过减少政府支出、增加税收，来消除或者减少预算赤字。
（2）一个国家如何能消除或减少贸易逆差？答：一个国家要消除或减少其贸易逆差的方式有：对进口商品增税、补贴出口，借如更多的国外债券、减少借出外国债券，降低该国的国民收入水平。
8．（1）国际经济关系与地区经济关系有何区别？答：在国际经济关系下，国家通常限制在国际间的自由流动的货物、服务和因素，不同的语言、消费习惯和法律规定同样也阻碍了它们在国际间的流动，此外，国际收支会在各种货币收据和付款中流通。
而在地区经济关系下，就关税和进行相同的货币而言,区际流动的货物、服务和因素没有面临这样的限制因素，它们经常是在同样的语言环境下，在类似的消费习惯和法律规定下进行的，这就与国际经济关系形成了鲜明对比。
（2）它们在哪方面相似？答：国际经济关系和地区经济关系的相似点：两者都跨越了空间距离，事实上，它们都是在远距离贸易下的产物，把经济看待成在一个进行着生产、交换和消费的空间中的单一点，这也是从经济学的复位空间将它们区分。
110．如果说一个国家可以从国际贸易中获益，那么你如何解释为什么许多国家又要对国际贸易施加某些限制？答：国际贸易给本国消费者带来的是更低的价格，这样就会对本国的同种商品的生产商造成不利，挤兑了本国生产商的销售份额。
通常在这种情况下，本国的生产商就会失去大量的订单，并且向政府提议限制进口。
而由于消费者很多,平均每个消费者只有非常小的进口商品利益，政府就会根据生产商的要求，施加一些进口限制。
第二章比较优势原理P45页练习题1.表2.5列出了在4中假定下，英美两国1劳动小时可生产的小麦与布匹的数量。
支出每种情况下，美、英两国具有绝对优势或劣势的商品。
答：在A情形下，美国具有绝对优势的商品是小麦；英国具有绝对优势的商品是布匹；在B情形下，美国在小麦和布匹都有绝对优势；在C情形下，美国在小麦和布匹生产商都具有绝对优势，而英国在这两种商品的生产中都不具有绝对优势；在D情形下，美国在小麦、布匹这两种商品具有的绝对优势都比英国明显。
2.指出表2.5中每个国家有比较优势与比较劣势的商品。
答：在A情形下，美国具有相对优势的商品是小麦；英国在布匹生产上具有相对优势；在B情形下，美国在小麦具有相对优势；英国在布匹生产具有相对优势；在C情形下，美国在小麦具有相对优势；英国在布匹生产具有相对优势；在D情形下，美国、英国在小麦、布匹这两种商品生产上没有相对优势。
3.指出表2.5中每种情况下，贸易的可能性贸易基础。
答：在A情形下，贸易的可能性贸易基础是绝对优势；在B情形下，贸易的可能性贸易基础是相对优势；在C情形下，贸易的可能性贸易基础是相对优势；在D情形下，没有贸易的可能性，因为美国在这两种商品的生产上都比英国具有绝对优势。
34. 假设在表2.5中的B 情况下，美国用4单位小麦与英国用的4单位布交换： （1） 美国获利多少？ （2） 英国获利多少？ （3） 互惠贸易的范围有多大？（4） 如果改用4单位小麦与6单位布交换，两国分别获利多少？ 答：（1）美国获利1C （2）英国获利3C （3） 3C<4W<8C（4）美国获利3C,而英国获利1w 。
5. 表2.5中的B 情况下，假设劳动是唯一生产要素而且是同质的（即只有一种类型）：（1） 用劳动测度，美、英两国生产小麦和布的成本是多少 （2） 如果工资率为6美元，则小麦和布在美国的价格是多少？ （3） 如果工资率为1英镑，则小麦和布在英国的价格是多少？答：(1)在劳动测度下，生产小麦的成本在美国是1/4，在英国为1；而生产布匹的成本在美国是1/3，在英国为1/2.(2)在美国，小麦的价格w P =1.5美元，而布匹的价格c P =2.00美元； （3）在英国，小麦的价格w P =1.00英镑，而布匹的价格c P =0.50英镑； 6. 参考第5题回答：（1） 若美元、英镑的外汇比价是1英镑=2美元，则小麦与布在英国的美元价格是多少？在此汇率下，美国会想英国出口小麦吗？在此汇率下，英国会想美国出口布吗？（2） 当汇率是1英镑=4美元时情况如何？ （3） 当汇率是1英镑=1美元时又如何？（4） 允许美国向英国出口小麦和允许英国向美国出口布的汇率范围是多少？ 答：（1）在英国，当美元、英镑的外汇比价是1英镑=2美元时，美国会出口小麦到英国，而英国会出口布匹到美国；（2）当汇率是1英镑=4美元时，在英国：$4.00w P =，$2.00c P =，因此美国会出口小麦到英国，而英国不会出口布匹到美国。
（3）当汇率是1英镑=1美元时，在英国，$1.00,$0.50w c P P ==，因此英国会都出口小麦、布匹这两种商品到美国。
（4）$1.50￡1.00$4.00<<7. 假设表2.5中B 情形的数据单位是百万蒲尔式小麦和百万码布：（1） 画出英美两国的生产可能线（2） 美、英两国的小麦相对价格为多少（即c /w P P ）？ （3） 美、英两国的布匹相对价格为多少（即/c w P P ）？ 答：（1）（2）小麦相对价格：在美国，w /3/4c P P =，在英国w /2c P P =； （3）布匹相对价格：在美国，w /4/3c P P =，在英国w /1/2c P P =。
9.（1）如果图2.3左图中的w()US UK D +向上移1/3，则小麦的均衡价格是多少？此时，美、英国生产多少单位小麦和布？5（2）（1）中的答案对右图的()c US UK D +意味着什么？答：（1）此时小麦的均衡价格会从1/3上升到w /4/3c P P =；因为更高的w()US UK D +会和()W US UK S +曲线交叉，美国会继续专门生产小麦180W ，而英国会继续专门生产布匹120C.（2）由于布匹的均衡价格是小麦的均衡价格的倒数，所以如果小麦的均衡价格是4/3,则布匹的均衡价格是3/4.这就意味着图2.3中右图的()C US UK D +将会向右下移1/3。
11.画一张与图2.2类似的图，表明英国现在是一个小国，为图2.2中右图所示的一半，并在c /w P P =2/3时用20单位布与美国的30单位小麦交换。
第三章国际贸易的标准理论P66页 练习题1. 在一个坐标系中，画一条凹向原点的生产可能性曲线（1） 从生产可能性曲线的中点开始，用箭头表示该国在生产更多X （纵轴表示的商品）和更多Y 时所发生的机会成本递增情况。
（2） 当生产更多的X 时，生产可能性曲线的斜率如何变化？生产更多的Y 呢？这种变化反映了什么？答：（1）（2）当生产更多的X时，则Y 的产量将减少，生产可能性曲线的斜率会增大。
当生产更多的Y时，X的产量也会减少。
这种变化反映了随着生产更多的X或者Y，机会成本是递增的，即：一个国家每多生产以单位该种商品，就必须放弃越来越多的另一种商品的生产以提高足够的资源。
2.在另一个坐标系中，画出三条社会无差异曲线，并令最高两条相交：（1）社会无差异曲线为什么向下倾斜，或者说斜率为负？（2）曲线的斜率代表什么？为什么每条无差异曲线在较低点斜率较小呢？（3）考虑相交的两条无差异曲线，在交点右边的那一条曲线表示的满意程度较高吗？在交点左边呢？为什么和无差异曲线的定义不一致？你可以得出什么结论？答：（1）社会无差异曲线向下倾斜是因为：在无差异曲线上，当消费者购买更多的X时，他们会放弃部分Y。
（2）曲线的斜率代表社会或国家在获得相同的满足程度下，多消费一单位X的同时，必须减少Y 的消费量。
无差异曲线在较低点斜率较小是因为：随着X的增大，Y减小，则从一单位的X得到的满足程度降低，而从一单位Y所得到的满足程度将增大。
（3）当在交点在右边时，满意程度：C>B；当交点在左边是：B>C。
这种不一致是因为无差异曲线反映的是一个给定的满足程度的两种商品的不同组合，因此无差异曲线不能相交。
、而一组特定的无差异曲线拜师的是一国国内一种特定的收入分配，一种不同的收入分配会导致一组全新的无差异曲线，而它很可能与先前的无差异曲线相交。
例如一国开始贸易或扩大外贸规模时，无差异曲线的相交就会发生。
3.在一个坐标系内，画一条生产可能性曲线，再画一条无差异曲线切于生产可能性曲线较平坦的地方；在另一个坐标系内，画另一条生产可能性曲线，再画另一条无差异曲线切于生产可能性曲线较陡直的地方。
（1）画一条表示各国在孤立情形下的均衡想多商品价格的直线。
（2）各国具有比较优势的商品分别是什么？（3）在什么情况下，两国之间不存在比较优势或比较劣势？答：（1）（2）国家1在商品X上具有比较优势，而国家2在Y商品具有比较优势。
（3）当两国的这两种商品的相对价格线具有相同的斜率时，两国不存在比较优势。
74．（1）在第3题图中，用箭头表示在贸易条件下各国专业化生产的方向，标出各国均衡的产量和消费（2）各国相对自给自足状态有什么额外所得？哪个国家所得更多？为什么？ 答：（1）（2）对于国家1，在E 点到A 点的右上方获利，而国家2从E '超过A '获利。
国家1将从贸易中获得额外所得，因为X 的相对价格比贸易前差别更大。
5.在一个坐标系内，画出国家1对于X 的出口供给曲线，/X Y P P =1/4，X 的共给量X QS =0；/X Y P P =1/2时，X QS =40；/X Y P P =1时，X QS =60；/X Y P P =112时，X QS =70.在同一坐标系内，画出国家2对于国家1出口商品X 的需求曲线。
/X Y P P =112时，对X 的需求X QD =40;/X Y P P =1时,X QD =60;/X Y P P =1/2时,X QD =120.（1）确定出口X 的贸易均衡的相对商品价格。
（2）如果/X Y P P =112，会发生什么？9（3）如果/X Y P P =1/2，又会发生什么？ 答：（1）S 是国家1的出口商品X 的供给曲线，而D 是国家2的出口商品X 的需求曲线，而需求和供给曲线在E 点相交，决定了X 的出口贸易均衡的相对价格为/B X Y P P P ==1，和均衡出口量是60X 。
