北大经济学原理期中测验答案

错误。在学生的洗澡行为(特别是洗澡频率)不变时,澡堂扩建一倍会使得其拥挤程度下降一半。但学生会对澡堂拥挤下降的激励做出反应,增加洗澡频率,这样澡堂的拥挤程度会有所回升。(原理4:人们会对激励做出反应。)

经济学原理课堂测试期中考试试题 答案

经济学原理课堂测试一1、 判断正误,并解释(必要时可画图)(10’)如果更多的中国人决定绿色出行,那么对汽车的需求(demand )将会下降。
汽车需求(demand)的下降将会引起汽车价格的下降。
更低的市场价格,将会提高汽车需求(demand).于是在新的市场均衡时,中国人购买汽车的数量不会低于原来的汽车的购买数量。
答案:错。
当需求下降时,出现过剩,价格下降,导致供给量下降。
具体均衡变动如图所示,其中(22,E P )为新的均衡点。
2、 选择题。
选择正确的答案(20’)教材中分析了当农业中引入新发明的高产品种,导致农业增产,但由于农产品缺乏需求弹性,农民收益却下降的情形。
用生产可能性边界来表示这一影响,正确的图形是 右图 (直接回答左图或右图)。
假定经济一开始处于A 点,则改时间导致经济最终移动到图形上的 D (直接写出点的字母代号)。
3、(1) 一则题为《郑州黄河公路大桥今天零时起永久免费》的新闻中提到:“预计取消收费后车流量增幅将达20%”,同时提到原来的收费是“小轿车一次通过收费10元”。
假定原来所有的车辆都是按10元来收费的。
请用中点法估计一下这一大桥通行的需求价格弹性。
大桥通行的需求是缺乏弹性还是富有弹性?(10’)(2)假定(1)的回答反映了一般的道路通行的需求价格弹性,则为了缓解长假期间高速路拥堵的现象,你是建议政府采取降低、免除还是提高收费?幅度如何?(10’)答:(1)需求价格弹性:20%、[(10-0)/5]=0.1,是缺乏弹性的。
(2)应该采取提高收费政策,弹性越小,均衡价格越高,则提高幅度应该较大。
4.假如A岛每个工人每年可以生产3000件衣服或1000吨谷物。
假设B岛每个工人每年可以生产2000件衣服或2000吨谷物。
为了方便起见,假设每个岛只有一个工人,请回答下面问题:(1)根据比较优势原理,两个岛将如何安排各自的专业化生产方案?(10’)答:A岛工人1件生产衣服的机会成本为1/3吨谷物,生产1吨谷物的机会成本为3件衣服。

经济学原理II(2011年春季学期)期中考试1(B卷答案)(2011/3/24)注意:请将所有题目的答案写在答题册上,写在本试题纸上一律无效。
一、判断题(判断并简要说明理由,必要时可以用图形。
每题4分,共20分)1.人们购买彩票的行为说明在无知之幕下,最大化最小标准未必是人们喜欢的标准。
正确。
购买彩票导致的后果是每个人都以同样概率中奖——处于无知之幕中,但购买彩票后的最小收益——不中奖——小于不购买彩票的行为(恰好与保险相反)。
人们选择购买彩票说明他们并不是在最大化最小。
2.“那些以较低工资雇佣农民工的企业是可耻的,因为没有他们,农民工就不会受到歧视性的待遇。
”错误。
这些以较低工资雇佣农民工的企业,与没有这样的企业的情形相比,实际上推高了农民工工资,从而成为了一种校正(雇主)歧视的力量,甚至最终可能消除歧视。
3.在某一年里,张三通过分期付款购买了一套住房,李四一次付清购买了同样价格的住房。
张三和李四对当年GDP的贡献相同。
正确。
这都导致投资需求增加相同的数量(一套住房),因此对当年的GDP贡献相同。
4.一国的出口减去进口(即净出口,NX)不可能超过国内生产总值(GDP)的数值,但出口或进口却有可能超过GDP的数值。
正确。
根据GDP恒等式Y=C+I+G+NX,得到Y-NX=C+I+G>0,即净出口不可能超过GDP 数值,但单独的出口或进口有可能超过GDP数值,特别是对于一些外向型经济的国家或地区(如新加坡、香港、卢森堡等)。
5.CPI指数上升必定意味着消费者的生活水平下降了,因为他们必须花费更多的支出才能买到同样的物品篮子。
错误。
CPI指数变动与消费者生活水平的变动并没有一一对应关系。
一种可能是,CPI指数上升,但消费者名义收入也上升,甚至快于CPI指数的上升。
此时,消费者的生活水平反而可能提高了。
二、选择题(每题3分,共36分。
每题只有一个正确答案。
)1.Congress buys personal computers for all U.S. college students. In the market equilibrium forlabor in the computer manufacturing industry, the marginal product of labor will , the wage level will .A.increase, increaseB.decrease, decreaseC.decrease, increaseD.increase, decrease2.一个在劳动力市场上处于买方垄断的企业,其雇佣劳动力的产量效应处于竞争性劳动市场上的企业,价格效应处于竞争性劳动市场上的企业,因而其雇佣的劳动力数量处于竞争性劳动市场上的企业。

这两个事件带来的对美国劳动力市场的影响是:A.劳动力市场的均衡就业量增加,均衡工资变化不确定B.劳动力市场的均衡就业量增加,均衡工资下降C.劳动力市场的均衡就业量变化不确定,均衡工资下降D.劳动力市场的均衡就业量增加,均衡工资上升4.为了提高国民教育程度,印度尼西亚政府在60年代末大规模地兴修学校,这提高了儿童的入学率和教育质量。
经历过这一事件的儿童目前基本都已经进入工作岗位。
经济学家研究了他们现在的工资水平,发现在兴修学校后就读的儿童,其成人后的平均工资水平高于在兴修学校以前就读的儿童;而且在兴修学校密度越高的地区,这种差异越明显。
这表明:A.教育提高了劳动生产率B.教育发出了受教育者高能力的信号C.教育要么提高了生产率,要么发出了高能力的信号D.很难说明任何问题,因为影响工资水平的因素很多5.一项经验研究表明,其他条件不变,身高相对更高的人工资水平更高;但仅有那些青少年时期身高相对更高的人才有这一效应。
以下理论中最能与该研究吻合的是:A.身高更高本身就具有价值,因为其外在形象更招顾客或雇主喜欢B.身高更高可能反映了青少年时期更高的营养水平以及更多的社交经历,而后者意味着更高的生产率C.上述两种说法都有可能,但该研究不能分辨D.不是身高更高导致了更高的生产率;而是更高的生产率导致了更好的营养因而更高的身高。
6.最近一期《三联生活周刊》报道了一则新闻,一位检察官提出对一位溺死年幼女儿的贫困母亲进行减刑。
这位检察官认为,对于一个普通的母亲而言,溺死自己的女儿肯定是重罪,但这位母亲并没有拥有和其他母亲平等的机会。

CPI, GDP deflator and Inflation Rate (10 points)A small nation of ten people only produces and consumes hamburgers and hotdogs, in thefollowing amounts:Hotdogs HamburgersQuantity Price Quantity Price 2009 10,000 $2 30,000 $12010 20,000 $3 20,000 $2e the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to compute the inflation rate from year 2009 to 2010. Useyear 2009 as the base year. (2 points)The CPI in year 2009 is 100.The CPI in year 2010 is:100*(10,000*$3+30,000*$2)/(10,000*$2+30,000*$1)=$90,000/$50,000=180.The inflation rate is: (180-100)/100*100%=80%e the GDP deflator to compute the inflation rate from year 2009 to 2010. Also use year 2009as the base year. (2 points)The GDP deflator in year 2009 is 100.The GDP deflator in year 2010 is:100*(20,000*$3+20,000*$2)/(20,000*$2+20,000*$1)=$100,000/$60,000=167.The inflation rate is 67%.c.Which measurement of Inflation is larger, the one from CPI or the one from GDP deflator?Explain why this might be a common phenomenon. Where should an ideal inflation rate belocated? (2 points)The one from CPI is larger. This is because of substitution bias. The CPI tends to overestimatetoday’s consumers’ expenditure since it assumes consumers consume the same basket today as inthe past. This fixed basket might have been substituted by cheaper basket.. Oppositely, the GDPdeflator tends to underestimates the inflation rate since it overestimates consumers’ expenditure inthe past, by assuming consumers consume the basket in the past as today and ignoring consumersmight have chosen a cheaper basket in the past.An ideal inflation rate should be located between GDP deflator and CPI.d.Do people’s standard of livings increase or decrease between those two years? Or cannot judge?Explain. If we calculate the inflation rate from the percentage change of nominal expenditure,i.e., expenditure using the current prices, would we over- or under- estimate the inflation rate?Explain. (3 points)People’s living standard has increased. The expenditure in 2010, $100,000, is higher thatexpenditure if people consumes the same basket as in year 2009, which would be $90,000. Sopeople must choose a better basket. (2 points)The inflation rate from comparing nominal expenditure will over-estimate the inflation rate, sincepeople have a higher living standard in the next year. (1 point)(The inflation rate calculated in this way is:(20,000*$3+20,000*$2)/ (10,000*$2+30,000*$1)-1=100%,which is even higher than in CPI and GDP deflator method.)pute the GDP growth rate from year 2009 to 2010. Use year 2009 as the base year. (1point)The GDP growth rate is:(20,000*$2+20,000*$1)/ (10,000*$2+30,000*$1)-1=$60,000/$50,000=20%。
