克鲁格曼《国际经济学》第8版笔记和课后习题详解第19章宏观经济政策和浮动汇率制下的国际协调19.1复习笔记1.支持浮动汇率制的观点(1)货币政策自主性在布雷顿森林体系的固定汇率制度下,除美国以外的其他国家极少有机会运用货币政策来达到内部平衡和外部平衡。
由于要抵消资本流动的影响,货币政策的作用被弱化了。
但是,如果各国中央银行不再为固定汇率而被迫干预货币市场,各国政府就能够运用货币政策来达到内部平衡和外部平衡,并且各国不再会因为外部因素导致本国出现通货膨胀或通货紧缩。
浮动汇率制的提倡者认为,如果中央银行不必再承担稳定其币值的义务,那么它们将恢复对货币的控制。
货币贬值会降低本国产品的相对价格,从而使外国对本国产品的需求增加,进而减少本国的失业。
同样,在经济过热的国家中,中央银行可以通过压缩货币供给来抑制过热的经济活动,而不必担心过多的国际储备流入会破坏其稳定币值的努力。
通过加强对货币政策的控制,各国可以排除那些扭曲国际支付的障碍。
浮动汇率制的提倡者还认为,各国如果使用浮动汇率,就能够选择自己愿意接受的长期通货膨胀率,而不再会被动地引进国外的通货膨胀率。
支持浮动汇率最为有力的理论之一就是认为它能够通过汇率的自动调整来隔绝国外持续性通货膨胀带来的影响。
产生这种隔绝的机制是购买力平价。
(2)对称性浮动汇率制的支持者认为:浮动汇率制可以消除类似布雷顿森林体系所造成的不对称。
由于各国不再将本国货币钉住对美元的汇率,也就不必因此而持有美元作储备。
所以,各国都可以自主决定本国的货币状况。
同样,美国在运用货币政策或财政政策改变美元汇率时,不会再遇到特别的阻碍。
最后,在全球范围内,所有国家的汇率都将由市场而不是由政府决定。
(3)汇率自动稳定器功能与固定汇率相比,浮动汇率相对减少了需求冲击对就业的影响,从而有利于经济稳定。
当对本国产品和劳务的需求下降时,浮动汇率下的货币贬值,会使本国产品和劳务的价格下降,部分地减轻了这种需求下降的不利影响。

This chapter presents a general model which 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. The 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 which 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 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 countries like Japan and Korea 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 the particular growth biases of these countries. In teaching these points, it might be interesting and useful to relate them to current events. For example, you can lead a class discussion of 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. export goods.The example provided in the text considers the popular arguments in the media that growth in Japan or Korea 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 is discussed. The Relative Supply (RS) and Relative Demand (RD) curves illustrate the effect of biased growth on the terms of trade. The new terms of trade line can be used with the general equilibrium analysis to find the welfare effects of growth. A general principle which emerges is that a country which experiences export-biased growth will have a deterioration in its terms of trade, while a country which experiences import-biased growth has an improvement in its terms of trade. A case study points out that growth in the rest of the world has made other countries more like the United States. This import-biased growth has worsened the terms of trade for the United States. The second issue addressed in the context of the standard trade model is the effect of international transfers. The salient point here is the direction, if any, in which the relative demand curve shifts in response to the redistribution of income from a transfer. A transfer worsens the donor’s ter ms of trade if it has a higher marginal propensity to consume its export good than the recipient. The presence of non-traded goods tends to reinforce the deterioration of terms of trade for the donor country. The case study attendant to this issue involves the deterioration of many Asian countries’ terms of trade due to the large capital withdrawals at the end of the 1990s.18 Krugman/Obstfeld •International Economics: Theory and Policy, Eighth EditionThe third area to which the standard trade model is applied are 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, non-zero tariff. Export subsidies, however, only impose costs upon an economy. Intranationally, tariffs aid import-competing sectors and hurt export sectors while subsidies have the opposite effect. An appendix presents offer curve diagrams and explains this mode of analysis.Answers to Textbook Problems1.Note how welfare in both countries increases as the two countries move from productionpatterns governed by domestic prices (dashed line) to production patterns governed by worldprices (straight line).2.3. An increase in the terms of trade increases welfare when the PPF is right-angled. The production pointis the corner of the PPF. The consumption point is the tangency of the relative price line and the highest indifference curve. An improvement in the terms of trade rotates the relative price line about its intercept with the PPF rectangle (since there is no substitution of immobile factors, the production point stays fixed). The economy can then reach a higher indifference curve. Intuitively, although there is no supply response, the economy receives more for the exports it supplies and pays less for the imports it purchases.Chapter 5 The Standard Trade Model 19 4. The difference from the standard diagram is that the indifference curves are right angles rather thansmooth curves. Here, a terms of trade increase enables an economy to move to a higher indifference curve. The income expansion path for this economy is a ray from the origin. A terms of tradeimprovement moves the consumption point further out along the ray.5. The terms of trade of Japan, a manufactures (M) exporter and a raw materials (R) importer, is the worldrelative price of manufactures in terms of raw materials (p M/p R). The terms of trade change can be determined by the shifts in the world relative supply and demand (manufactures relative to raw materials) curves. Note that in the following answers, world relative supply (RS) and relative demand (RD) are always M relative to R. We consider all countries to be large, such that changes affect the world relative price.a. Oil supply disruption from the Middle East decreases the supply of raw materials, which increasesthe world relative supply. The world relative supply curve shifts out, decreasing the world relative price of manufactured goods and deteriorating Japan’s terms of t rade.b. Korea’s increased automobile production increases the supply of manufactures, which increasesthe world RS. The world relative supply curve shifts out, decreasing the world relative price ofmanufactured goods and deteriorating Japan’s terms of tr ade.c. U.S. development of a substitute for fossil fuel decreases the demand for raw materials. Thisincreases world RD, and the world relative demand curve shifts out, increasing the world relative price of manufactured goods and improving Japan’s terms of trade. This occurs even if no fusion reactors are installed in Japan since world demand for raw materials falls.d. A harvest failure in Russia decreases the supply of raw materials, which increases the world RS.The world relative supply curve shifts o ut. Also, Russia’s demand for manufactures decreases,which reduces world demand so that the world relative demand curve shifts in. These forcesdecrease the world relative price of manufactured goods and deteriorate Japan’s terms of trade.e. A reduction in Japan’s tariff on raw materials will raise its internal relative price of manufactures.This price change will increase Japan’s RS and decrease Japan’s RD, which increases the worldRS and decreases the world RD (i.e., world RS shifts out and world RD shifts in). The worldrelative price of manufactures declines and Japan’s terms of trade deteriorate.6. The declining price of services relative to manufactured goods shifts the isovalue line clockwise sothat relatively fewer services and more manufactured goods are produced in the United States, thus reducing U.S. welfare.20 Krugman/Obstfeld •International Economics: Theory and Policy, Eighth Edition7. These results acknowledge the biased growth which occurs when there is an increase in one factor ofproduction. An increase in the capital stock of either country favors production of Good X, while an increase in the labor supply favors production of Good Y. Also, recognize the Heckscher-Ohlin result that an economy will export that good which uses intensively the factor which that economy has in relative abundance. Country A exports Good X to Country B and imports Good Y from Country B.The possibility of immiserizing growth makes the welfare effects of a terms of trade improvement due to export-biased growth ambiguous. Import-biased growth unambiguously improves welfare for the growing country.a. A’s terms of trade worsen, A’s welfare may increase or, less likely, decrease, and B’s welfareincreases.b. A’s terms of trade improve, A’s welfare increases and B’s welfare decreases.c. B’s terms of trade improve, B’s welfare increases and A’s welfare decreases.d. B’s terms of trade worsen, B’s welfare may increase or, less likely, decrease, and A’s welfareincreases.8. Immiserizing growth occurs when the welfare deteriorating effects of a worsening in an economy’sterms of trade swamp the welfare improving effects of growth. For this to occur, an economy must undergo very biased growth, and the economy must be a large enough actor in the world economy such that its actions spill over to adversely alter the terms of trade to a large degree. This combination of events is unlikely to occur in practice.9. India opening should be good for the U.S. if it reduces the relative price of goods that China sends tothe U.S. and hence increases the relative price of goods that the U.S. exports. Obviously, any sector in the U.S. hurt by trade with China would be hurt again by India, but on net, the U.S. wins. Note that here we are making different assumptions about what India produces and what is tradable than we are in Question #6. Here we are assuming India exports products the U.S. currently imports and China currently exports. China will lose by having the relative price of its export good driven down by the increased production in India.10. Aid which must be spent on exports increases the demand for those export goods and raises their pricerelative to other goods. There will be a terms of trade deterioration for the recipient country. This can be viewed as a polar case of the effect of a transfer on the terms of trade. Here, the marginal propensity to consume the export good by the recipient country is 1. The donor benefits from a terms of trade improvement. As with immiserizing growth, it is theoretically possible that a transfer actuallyworsens the welfare of the recipient.11. When a country subsidizes its exports, the world relative supply and relative demand schedules shiftsuch that the terms of trade for the country worsen. A countervailing import tariff in a second country exacerbates this effect, moving the terms of trade even further against the first country. The firstcountry is worse off both because of the deterioration of the terms of trade and the distortionsintroduced by the new internal relative prices. The second country definitely gains from the firstcountry’s export su bsidy, and may gain further from its own tariff. If the second country retaliated with an export subsidy, then this would offset the initial improvement in the terms of trade; the“retaliatory” export subsidy definitely helps the first country and hurts th e second.。

国际经济学克鲁格曼课后习题答案章集团标准化办公室:[VV986T-J682P28-JP266L8-68PNN]第一章练习与答案1.为什么说在决定生产和消费时,相对价格比绝对价格更重要?答案提示:当生产处于生产边界线上,资源则得到了充分利用,这时,要想增加某一产品的生产,必须降低另一产品的生产,也就是说,增加某一产品的生产是有机会机本(或社会成本)的。
生产可能性边界上任何一点都表示生产效率和充分就业得以实现,但究竟选择哪一点,则还要看两个商品的相对价格,即它们在市场上的交换比率。
相对价格等于机会成本时,生产点在生产可能性边界上的位置也就确定了。
所以,在决定生产和消费时,相对价格比绝对价格更重要。
2.仿效图1—6和图1—7,试推导出Y商品的国民供给曲线和国民需求曲线。
答案提示:3.在只有两种商品的情况下,当一个商品达到均衡时,另外一个商品是否也同时达到均衡?试解释原因。
答案提示:4.如果生产可能性边界是一条直线,试确定过剩供给(或需求)曲线。
答案提示:5.如果改用Y商品的过剩供给曲线(B国)和过剩需求曲线(A国)来确定国际均衡价格,那么所得出的结果与图1—13中的结果是否一致?6.答案提示:国际均衡价格将依旧处于贸易前两国相对价格的中间某点。
7.说明贸易条件变化如何影响国际贸易利益在两国间的分配。
答案提示:一国出口产品价格的相对上升意味着此国可以用较少的出口换得较多的进口产品,有利于此国贸易利益的获得,不过,出口价格上升将不利于出口数量的增加,有损于出口国的贸易利益;与此类似,出口商品价格的下降有利于出口商品数量的增加,但是这意味着此国用较多的出口换得较少的进口产品。
对于进口国来讲,贸易条件变化对国际贸易利益的影响是相反的。
8.如果国际贸易发生在一个大国和一个小国之间,那么贸易后,国际相对价格更接近于哪一个国家在封闭下的相对价格水平?答案提示:贸易后,国际相对价格将更接近于大国在封闭下的相对价格水平。

In Chapter 4, this analysis goes a step further by introducing the Heckscher-Ohlin theory.The Heckscher-Ohlin theory considers the pattern of production and trade which will arise when countries have different endowments of factors of production, such as labor, capital, and land. The basic point is that countries tend to export goods that are intensive in the factors with which they are abundantly supplied. Trade has strong effects on the relative earnings of resources, and tends to lead to equalization across countries of prices of the factors of production. These theoretical results and related empirical findings are presented in this chapter.The chapter begins by developing a general equilibrium model of an economy with two goods which are each produced using two factors according to fixed coefficient production functions. The assumption of fixed coefficient production functions provides an unambiguous ranking of goods in terms of factor intensities. (The appendix develops the model when the production functions have variable coefficients.) Two important results are derived using this model. The first is known as the Rybczynski effect. Increasing the relative supply of one factor, holding relative goods prices constant, leads to a biased expansion of production possibilities favoring the relative supply of the good which uses that factor intensively.The second key result is known as the Stolper-Samuelson effect. Increasing the relative price of a good, holding factor supplies constant, increases the return to the factor used intensively in the production of that good by more than the price increase, while lowering the return to the other factor. This result has important income distribution implications.It can be quite instructive to think of the effects of demographic/labor force changes on the supply of different products. For example, how might the pattern of production during the productive years of the “Baby Boom” generation differ from the pattern of production for post Baby Boom generations? What does this imply for returns to factors and relative price behavior?The central message concerning trade patterns of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory is that countries tend to export goods whose production is intensive in factors with which they are relatively abundantly endowed. This is demonstrated by showing that, using the relative supply and relative demand analysis, the country relatively abundantly endowed with a certain factor will produce that factor more cheaply than the other country. International trade leads to a convergence of goods prices. Thus, the results from the Stolper-Samuelson effect demonstrate that owners of a country’s abundant factors gain from trade, but ownersof a country’s scarce factors lose. The extension of this result is the important Factor Price Equalization Theorem, which states that trade in (and thus price equalization of) goods leads to an equalization in the rewards to factors across countries. The political implications of factor price equalization should be interesting to students.The chapter also introduces some political economy considerations. First, it briefly notes that many of the results regarding trade and income distribution assume full and swift adjustment in the economy. In the short run, though, labor and capital that are currently in a particular industry may have sector-specific skills or knowledge and are being forced to move to another sector, and this involves costs. Thus, even if a shift in relative prices were to improve the lot of labor, for those laborers who must change jobs, there is a short run cost.The core of the political economy discussion focuses on the fact that when opening to trade, some may benefit and some may lose, but the expansion of economic opportunity should allow society to redistribute some of the gains towards those who lose, making sure everyone benefits on net. In practice, though, those who lose are often more concentrated and hence have more incentive to try to affect policy. Thus, trade policy is not always welfare maximizing, but may simply reflect the preferences of the loudest and best organized in society.Empirical results concerning the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, beginning with the Leontief paradox and extending to current research, do not support its predictions concerning resource endowments explaining overall patterns of trade, though some patterns do match the broad outlines of its theory (e.g., theUnited States imports more low-skill products from Bangladesh and more high-skill products from Germany). This observation has motivated many economists to consider motives for trade between nations that are not exclusively based on differences across countries. These concepts will be exploredin later chapters. Despite these shortcomings, important and relevant results concerning income distribution are obtained from the Heckscher-Ohlin theory.Answers to Textbook Problems1. The definition of cattle growing as land intensive depends on the ratio of land to labor used inproduction, not on the ratio of land or labor to output. The ratio of land to labor in cattle exceeds the ratio in wheat in the United States, implying cattle is land intensive in the United States. Cattle is land intensive in other countries as well if the ratio of land to labor in cattle production exceeds the ratio in wheat production in that country. Comparisons between another country and the United States is less relevant for this purpose.2. a. The box diagram has 600 as the length of two sides (representing labor) and 60 as the lengthof the other two sides (representing land). There will be a ray from each of the two cornersrepresenting the origins. To find the slopes of these rays we use the information from the questionconcerning the ratios of the production coefficients. The question states that a LC/a TC= 20 anda LF/a TF= 5.Since a LC/a TC= (L C/Q C)/(T C/Q C) =L C/T C we have L C= 20T C. Using the same reasoning,a LF/a TF= (L F/Q F)/(T F/Q F) =L F/T F and since this ratio equals 5, we have L F= 5T F. We cansolve this algebraically since L=L C+ L F= 600 and T=T C+ T F= 60.The solution is L C= 400, T C= 20, L F= 200 and T F= 40.b. The dimensions of the box change with each increase in available labor, but the slopes of the raysfrom the origins remain the same. The solutions in the different cases are as follows.L= 800: T C= 33.33, L C= 666.67, T F= 26.67, L F= 133.33L= 1000: T C= 46.67, L C= 933.33, T F= 13.33, L F= 66.67L= 1200: T C= 60, L C= 1200, T F= 0, L F= 0. (complete specialization).c. At constant factor prices, some labor would be unused, so factor prices would have to change, orthere would be unemployment.3. This question is similar to an issue discussed in Chapter 3. What matters is not the absolute abundanceof factors, but their relative abundance. Poor countries have an abundance of labor relative to capital when compared to more developed countries.4. In the Ricardian model, labor gains from trade through an increase in its purchasing power. Thisresult does not support labor union demands for limits on imports from less affluent countries. The Heckscher-Ohlin model directly addresses distribution by considering the effects of trade on theowners of factors of production. In the context of this model, unskilled U.S. labor loses fromtrade since this group represents the relatively scarce factors in this country. The results from theHeckscher-Ohlin model support labor union demands for import limits. In the short run, certainunskilled unions may gain or lose from trade depending on in which sector they work, but in theory, in the longer run, the conclusions of the Heckscher-Ohlin model will dominate.5. Specific programmers may face wage cuts due to the competition from India, but this is not inconsistentwith skilled labor wages rising. By making programming more efficient in general, this development may have increased wages for others in the software industry or lowered the prices of the goodsoverall. In the short run, though, it has clearly hurt those with sector specific skills who will facetransition costs. There are many reasons to not block the imports of computer programming services (or outsourcing of these jobs). First, by allowing programming to be done more cheaply, it expands the production possibilities frontier of the U.S., making the entire country better off on average.Necessary redistribution can be done, but we should not stop trade which is making the nation as a whole better off. In addition, no one trade policy action exists in a vacuum, and if the U.S. blocked the programming imports, it could lead to broader trade restrictions in other countries.6. The factor proportions theory states that countries export those goods whose production is intensivein factors with which they are abundantly endowed. One would expect the United States, whichhas a high capital/labor ratio relative to the rest of the world, to export capital-intensive goods if the Heckscher-Ohlin theory holds. Leontief found that the United States exported labor-intensive goods.Bowen, Leamer and Sveikauskas found for the world as a whole the correlation between factorendowment and trade patterns to be tenuous. The data do not support the predictions of the theory that countries’ e xports and imports reflect the relative endowments of factors.7. If the efficiency of the factors of production differs internationally, the lessons of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory would be applied to “effective factors” which adjust for the differences in technology or worker skills or land quality (for example). The adjusted model has been found to be moresuccessful than the unadjusted model at explaining the pattern of trade between countries. Factor-price equalization concepts would apply to the effective factors. A worker with more skills or in a country with better technology could be considered to be equal to two workers in another country. Thus, the single person would be two effective units of labor. Thus, the one high-skilled workercould earn twice what lower-skilled workers do, and the price of one effective unit of labor would still be equalized.。

克鲁格曼《国际经济学》(第8版)课后习题详解(第11章贸易政策中的争议)【圣才出品】第11章贸易政策中的争议一、概念题1.以邻为壑的政策(beggar-thy-neighbor policies)答:以邻为壑的政策是指以牺牲别国的利益来提高本国福利的政策,即当一个国家采取某种政策或行动的时候,事实上其得到的好处来自于另一个国家的损失,一个国家所得到的,最终会是另一个国家所失去的。
从货币角度来说,本国货币扩张会引起汇率贬值,净出口增加,从而增加产出与就业,但是本国增加净出口对应着国外贸易余额的恶化。
本国货币贬值使需求从国外商品转移到本国商品上,国外的产出与就业会因此下降。
正是由于这个原因,由贬值引起的贸易余额的变动就是以邻为壑的政策,它是输出失业,或以损害其他国家来创造本国就业的一种方式。
本国福利的提高是以牺牲别国利益为代价的,因此这一政策很容易引起别国的报复和贸易战的爆发,最终损害各方的利益。
从国际贸易角度来说,战略性贸易政策就是一种以邻为壑的政策。
战略性贸易政策通过鼓励国内特定产品的出口和限制国外特定产品的进口,来保持本国在世界市场上的竞争优势,虽然使本国受益,但使外国受到了损失,本国也面临着受到外国报复的问题。
反之,如果外国的净出口增加,相当于本国消费者购买了很多外国的商品。
这样,对本国该产业的产品需求的下降就是对本国的该产业的一个冲击。
这种冲击会阻碍对其进行的投资和经营,从而使得这个产业的状况变坏,进而影响本国经济。
总之,以邻为壑的政策将引发贸易战从而使得各方均受到损害。
2.外部性(externalities)答:外部性是指当某个企业的经济行为(或者某个人的消费行为),经过非价格手段,直接地、不可避免地影响了其他企业的生产(或者其他人的效用),并且成为后者自己所不能加以控制的情况时,对前者来说就存在着外部性问题。
外部性可以分为正外部性和负外部性。
正外部性是指某个经济行为主体的行为使他人或者整个社会受益,而受益者无须花费代价;负外部性是指某经济行为主体的行为引起他人成本的增加或者效用的减少。

第3篇汇率与开放经济的宏观经济学第12章国民收入核算与国际收支平衡12.1复习笔记1.国民收入账户(1)GNP宏观经济分析的主要着眼点是一国的国民生产总值(GNP),它是一国的生产要素在一定时期内所生产并在市场上卖出的最终商品和服务的价值总量。
GNP是宏观经济学家研究一国产出时所用的基本度量手段,由花费在最终产品上的支出的市场价值量加总而得到。
GNP的支出与劳动、资本以及其他生产要素紧密相连。
根据购买最终产品的四种可能用途,GNP可以分解为以下四个部分:消费(国内居民私人消费的数额)、投资(私人企业为进行再生产而留下的用于购买厂房设备的数额)、政府购买(政府使用的数额)和经常项目余额(对外净出口的商品和服务的数额)。
(2)国民收入国民收入等于GNP减去折旧,加上净单边转移支付,再减去间接商业税。
即:国民收入=GNP-折旧+净单边转移支付-间接商业税在实际经济中,要使GNP和国民收入的恒等关系完全成立,必须对GNP的定义作一定调整:①GNP不考虑机器和建筑物在使用过程中由于磨损而引起的经济损失。
这部分经济损失称为折旧,折旧减少了资本所有者的收入。
为了计算一定时期的国民收入,必须从GNP 中减去这一时期资本的折旧。
GNP减去折旧后称为国民生产净值(NNP)。
②一国的收入可能会包括外国居民的赠与,这种赠与称为单边转移支付。
单边转移支付的例子包括向居住在国外的退休公民支付养老金、赔偿支付和对遭受旱灾国家的救济援助等。
净单边转移支付是一国收入的一部分,但不是一国产出的一部分,因此,净单边转移支付,必须加到NNP中以计算国民收入。
③国民收入取决于生产者获得的产品价格,GNP则取决于购买者所支付的价格。
但是,这两组价格并不是完全一致的,例如,销售税会使得购买者的支付大于销售者的收入,导致GNP被高估,超过了国民收入。
这部分税收被称为间接商业税。
在计算国民收入时,这部分间接商业税必须从GNP中减去。
(3)GDP大多数国家采用国内生产总值(GDP)作为国民经济活动的主要指标,来度量一国境内的生产量。

克鲁格曼《国际经济学》第8版笔记和课后习题详解第6章规模经济、不完全竞争和国际贸易6.1复习笔记1.规模经济(1)规模经济和国际贸易①规模经济的表现规模经济表现为生产规模越大,生产效率越高,产出的增长大于投入的增长。
表6-1列出了某一行业的投入产出关系,且该产品的生产只需要劳动这一种投入。
从表中可以看出,生产10件产品需要15小时的劳动,而生产25件产品只需要30个小时的劳动。
规模经济表现为:劳动投入增加1倍(从15小时增加到30小时),产出却增加了1.5倍(从10件增加到25件)。
表6-1某一假定行业的投入产出关系②规模经济是国际贸易的动因之一假定世界上只有A和B两个国家,二者都具有生产这种产品的同样技术,最初都生产10个单位。
根据表6-1,该产量在每个国家均要15小时的劳动投入,即全世界用30个小时来生产20单位产品。
但是,现在假定该新产品的生产集中到一个国家,比如说A国,且A国在这一行业也投入30个小时的劳动。
然而,在一个国家内投入30个小时的劳动,却能生产出25件产品。
显然,生产集中到A国可以使得世界以同样的劳动投入多产出25%的产品。
可见,各国可以用比以往更有效的规模专业化地生产有限类别的产品;同时,它们之间的相互贸易又使得消费所有产品成为可能。
(2)规模经济和市场结构①规模经济的分类a.外部规模经济,指单位产品成本取决于整个行业规模而非单个厂商规模的规模经济类型。
b.内部规模经济,指单位产品成本取决于单个厂商的规模而不是其所在的行业规模的规模经济类型。
②规模经济对市场结构的影响外部的和内部的规模经济对市场结构具有不同的影响。
一个只存在外部规模经济的行业(即大厂商没有优势)一般由许多相对较小的厂商构成,且处于完全竞争的状态;相反,存在内部规模经济的行业中,大厂商比小厂商更具有成本优势,就形成了不完全竞争的市场结构。
外部规模经济和内部规模经济都是国际贸易的重要原因。
但是,由于它们对市场结构的影响不同,下面将对它们进行分别讨论。

第11章贸易政策中的争议一、概念题1.以邻为壑的政策(beggar-thy-neighbor policies)答:以邻为壑的政策是指以牺牲别国的利益来提高本国福利的政策,即当一个国家采取某种政策或行动的时候,事实上其得到的好处来自于另一个国家的损失,一个国家所得到的,最终会是另一个国家所失去的。
从货币角度来说,本国货币扩张会引起汇率贬值,净出口增加,从而增加产出与就业,但是本国增加净出口对应着国外贸易余额的恶化。
本国货币贬值使需求从国外商品转移到本国商品上,国外的产出与就业会因此下降。
正是由于这个原因,由贬值引起的贸易余额的变动就是以邻为壑的政策,它是输出失业,或以损害其他国家来创造本国就业的一种方式。
本国福利的提高是以牺牲别国利益为代价的,因此这一政策很容易引起别国的报复和贸易战的爆发,最终损害各方的利益。
从国际贸易角度来说,战略性贸易政策就是一种以邻为壑的政策。
战略性贸易政策通过鼓励国内特定产品的出口和限制国外特定产品的进口,来保持本国在世界市场上的竞争优势,虽然使本国受益,但使外国受到了损失,本国也面临着受到外国报复的问题。
反之,如果外国的净出口增加,相当于本国消费者购买了很多外国的商品。
这样,对本国该产业的产品需求的下降就是对本国的该产业的一个冲击。
这种冲击会阻碍对其进行的投资和经营,从而使得这个产业的状况变坏,进而影响本国经济。
总之,以邻为壑的政策将引发贸易战从而使得各方均受到损害。
2.外部性(externalities)答:外部性是指当某个企业的经济行为(或者某个人的消费行为),经过非价格手段,直接地、不可避免地影响了其他企业的生产(或者其他人的效用),并且成为后者自己所不能加以控制的情况时,对前者来说就存在着外部性问题。
外部性可以分为正外部性和负外部性。
正外部性是指某个经济行为主体的行为使他人或者整个社会受益,而受益者无须花费代价;负外部性是指某经济行为主体的行为引起他人成本的增加或者效用的减少。
外部性意味着私人成本和社会成本之间、私人收益和社会收益之间存在着差异:负外部性的存在是因为某个经济当事人的生产或消费活动的私人成本小于该活动的社会成本,因而一部分成本由他人或整个社会承担了;正外部性的存在是因为某人的生产或消费活动的私人收益小于该活动的社会收益,即他人或者整个社会从这个活动中得到了一部分收益。
3.布兰德-斯潘塞分析(Brander-Spencer analysis)答:“布兰德-斯潘塞分析”是指一国政府通过对国内企业实行补贴政策,将国外企业排斥在本国市场之外,从而增加国内企业利润的分析方法,由加拿大经济学家斯潘塞和布兰德首先提出。
具体分析方法如下:假定国内外各有一家条件完全相同的企业打算生产某种产品并供应整个市场。
如果一家企业生产,则生产的一家获取10单位的利润(不生产的一家利润为0);如果两家都生产,那么过度竞争将导致它们的利润均为-2单位;如果两家都不生产,则利润均为0。
如果政府不参与其中,那么谁领先一步就意味着谁将生产。
如果已知对方开始生产,那么本国企业就不会生产(不生产的利润为0,生产的利润为-2单位)。
如果政府参与其中,承诺如果本国企业从事生产将给予5单位的补贴,那么就整个地改变了竞争状况。
这时不论外国企业是否生产,本国企业都会选择生产。
已知本国企业必然生产,则外国企业必然不会选择生产。
其最终结果是:外国企业退出了竞争,本国企业获得15单位的利润。
从总体上看,本国净增10单位的利润,从而使国民福利增加。
因此,政府补贴能够大大提高本国企业的竞争力,增加本国企业的利润,并将外国企业可能获得的利益转移至本国。
“布兰德-斯潘塞分析”是一国实施战略性贸易政策的理论依据之一,它表明,积极的政府政策可以在不减少国民福利的同时,有效地帮助本国企业击败国外的竞争对手。
4.污染避难地(pollution haven)答:由于国际贸易的原因,贸易活动本应在环境控制较严格的国家进行,但是贸易却转到了环境控制较松的国家进行,因为环境控制较松而吸引了大批污染工业移入的国家和地区就被称为污染避难地。
5.库兹涅茨环境曲线(environment Kuznets curve)答:20世纪90年代早期,普林斯顿大学经济学家吉恩·格罗斯曼和艾伦·克鲁格曼在研究国民收入水平和污染物比如二氧化硫之间的关系发现,这些抵消经济增长作用的因素会在人均收入和环境破坏之间产生倒U形关系,这条倒U形曲线即为库兹涅茨环境曲线。
该曲线表明,当国家经济增长时,它们初始增长会增加环境的破坏,但是当这些经济体变得足够富裕时,它们的经济增长对环境有利。
6.战略性贸易政策(strategic trade policy)答:战略性贸易政策是指通过鼓励国内特定产业的发展和特定产品的出口,以限制国外特定产品的进口,来保持本国在世界市场上的竞争优势,并进而提高一国经济绩效的贸易保护政策。
该政策认为,为了保持本国某些前景远大或意义重大的产业在世界市场上的竞争优势和领先地位,有必要采取有针对性的保护政策来促进这些产业的发展和特定产品的出口。
战略性贸易政策的理论依据主要有高新技术产业的“技术外溢”和不完全竞争条件下的“布兰德—斯潘塞分析”。
7.超额收益(excess returns)答:超额收益是指超出行业平均利润的收益。
一般情况下,在一个比较充分的市场竞争条件下,企业只能得到平均利润。
但是,在一些产业所在的市场,仅有为数不多的几家企业参与实际竞争。
因为参与的企业数目少,所以市场是不完全竞争的。
企业在这个市场中进行生产,能够获得比在经济中其他地方进行相同风险的生产更高的收益,即超额收益。
超额收益要高于行业的平均收益。
得到超额收益的两个条件是高劳动效率和低成本,即单位产品的个别劳动时间低于社会必要劳动。
在这种情况下,按照社会必要劳动时间所决定的价值出卖产品就能够得到超额收益。
二、习题1.即使实行战略性贸易政策能够增加国家福利,那么这种政策不利的后果是什么?What are the disadvantages of engaging in strategic trade policy even in cases in which it can be shown to yield an increase in a country’s welfare?答:实行战略性贸易政策主要的不利后果是它会导致寻租和以邻为壑的政策,即以别的国家受损为代价来增加一国的福利水平。
这样的政策可能会导致使所有国家福利都受损的贸易战。
即使是在别国没有察觉的情况下能使自己变得更好,这也是实行战略性贸易政策的危险:它会引起别国的报复,这使得长期看来,会使得所有国家利益都受到损害。
2.假设美国政府能够确知在以后的20年中哪些产业的增长最为迅速,为什么这并不一定意味着美国应该采取政策支持这些产业的增长?Suppose the U.S. government were able to determine which industries willgrow most rapidly over the next 20 years. Why doesn’t this automatically mean that the nation should have a policy of supporting these industries’ growth?答:只有存在市场失灵时,政府采取行动才是合理的。
如果每个人都知道某个产业会快速增长,私人市场即使在没有政府支持的情形下也会将资源引入这个产业。
可见,只有存在市场失灵时才需要政府采取特别的行动,仅仅有增长前景是不足以构成政府干预的依据。
3.如果美国能够办到的话,它将会要求日本在基础科学研究上多花些钱,在产业应用研究方面少花些钱。
从无偿占用的角度分析上面的原因。
If the United States had its way, it would demand that Japan spend more money on basic research in science and less on applied research into industrial applications. Explain why in terms of the analysis of appropriability.答:美国希望日本在基础科学研究上多花些钱,在产业应用研究方面少花些钱,因为美国知道,与适用于特定产业的研究结果相比,基础研究的结果可能能让更大范围的企业和产业无偿占用。
日本的基础研究对美国的好处将超过对日本产业中特定问题的研究带来的好处。
4.表11-1和表11-2说明了欧洲政府可以通过补贴获得战略优势的情形,而表11-3和表11-4则说明不能获得战略优势的情形。
两种情形有什么重要的区别?也即决定补贴是否有效的普遍规则是什么?表11-1 两家企业竞争表11-2 补贴对空中客车公司的影响表11-3 两家企业竞争:另一种情况表11-4 补贴对空中客车公司的影响Tables 11-1 and 11-2 presented a situation in which European governments were able to use a subsidy to achieve a strategic advantage, while Tables 11-3 and 11-4 presented a situation in which it could not. What is the crucial distinction between these two cases? That is, what is the general rule for determining when a subsidy can work?答:当本国企业进入某个市场从而导致外国企业无法生存而退出时,对本国企业进行补贴才是有效的。
补贴使空中客车公司的生产和利润增加,使波音公司的生产下降。
可见,补贴提高了市场准入门槛,阻止了国外竞争。
但是,即使空中客车公司得到了政府补贴,波音公司仍然会继续生产。
如果波音公司进入这个市场,空中客车公司的收益将小于补贴所得。
