This chapter (not a core chapter) brings together for the most part materialscattered throughout previous chapters on the question of fixed versus flexibleexchange rates. But it also examines the European Monetary System andinternational macroeconomic cooperation. It is an important chapter butbecause of the time constraint, I would omit it in a one-semester undergraduatecourse in international economics, except for section 20.4 on the European Union and the short section on international macroeconomic policy coordination.2. If I were to cover this chapter, I would cover sections 1 to 3 in the first lecture,section 4 in the second lecture, and sections 5 and 6 in the third lecture andassigning the end of chapter problems.Answers to Problems:1. a. The U.S. will export the commodity because at R=2, P=$7 in the U.S. and P=$8in the U.K.b. The U.S. has a comparative disadvantage in this commodity at the equilibriumexchange rate.2. Under a fixed exchange rate system and perfectly elastic international capitalflows, the attempt on the part of the nation to reduce its money supply (tightmonetary policy) tends to increase interest rates in the nation and attract capitalinflows. This frustrates the attempt on the part of the nation's monetary authorities to reduce the nation's money supply. On the other hand, the attempt of the nation's monetary authorities to increase the money supply of the nation will be frustrated by the tendency of the nation's interest rate to fall, resulting in a capital outflowthat would leave the nation's money supply unchanged (see section 17.4c).3. See Figure 1.Figure 1 shows that for a shift in the supply of pounds from S to S' and S*, theexchange rate fluctuate more when the demand curve for pounds is more inelastic (D*) then when it is more elastic (D).4. See Figure 2.Curve A shows the fluctuation in the exchange rate over the business cyclewithout speculation; curve B shows the fluctuation in the exchange over thebusiness cycle with stabilizing speculation, while curve C shows the fluctuation in the exchange rate over the business cycle with destabilizing speculation.5. See Figure 3 on the previous page.6. An optimum currency area involves permanently fixed exchange rates as well ascommon monetary and fiscal policies among its members. Thus, an optimumcurrency area resemble a single economic entity and monetary union. There areno such implications for countries which are connected only by fixed exchangerates.7. (a) With a single central bank and currency the member nations of the EuropeanUnion can no longer print money and thus each member no longer has thewherewithal to conduct monetary policy. The original central bank of eachmember nation now assumes functions similar to that of the federal reserve banks in the Federal Reserve System in the United States. That is, they affect thecommunity-wide monetary policy only through their participation in central bank deliberations and decisions.(b) With a single currency, of course, there are no such things and exchange ratesamong the member nations' currencies, just as there are no exchange rates for the dollar among the states of the United States. Or better, the exchange rate ispermanently fixed at 1:1.8. The benefits that the EU would get from establishing a single currency are:eliminating the costs involved in exchanging currencies, eliminating the risk ofexchange fluctuations and currency crises, inducing nations to adopt moreappropriate economic policies and being able, as a community, to withstand better external shocks. The costs results from the inability of nations to change theirexchange rate and to tailor monetary and fiscal policies to their specific nationalneeds.9. See Figure 4.10. See the dashed curve in Figure 5.11. It is true that flexible exchange rates tend to insulate the economy frominternational disturbances. For example, the tendency of a nation to followinflationary policies will result in a depreciation of its currency. This means thatthe trade partner's currency will appreciate, making its imports cheaper and thuspreventing the importation of inflation from abroad.In an integrated world capital market, however, inflationary policies by one nation will lower its interest rates in the nation and will lead to capital outflows. Unless the trade partner is able to continuously sterilize these capital inflows, inflationary pressures will spread to it also. These inflationary pressures can be avoided byinternational policy coordination. Thus, international policy coordination is useful also under a flexible exchange rate system because in a world of unrestrictedinternational capital flows flexible exchange rate do not insulate nations completely from their partner's policies.12. Game theory is a method for examining the effect of a given policy or course ofaction on a nation or other economic unit for each possible response by anothernation or other economic unit. Game theory can thus be used to show that acooperative equilibrium can be better for (i.e., can increase the welfare of) eachnation or economic unit than if each tries to maximize its welfare independently.13. In a noncooperative equilibrium, each nation is likely to follow a loose fiscalpolicy but a tight monetary policy in order to keep its interest rates up and thereby attract foreign capital and keep the international value of its currency high, so asto keep import prices low. However, when all nations do this their efforts will be self-defeating and interest rates will be higher than with a cooperativeequilibrium. High interest rates will reduce long-term growth for all nations. Witha cooperative equilibrium, on the other hand, nations will use restrictive fiscal andeasy monetary policies. This will keep interest rates low and thus stimulate long-run growth.14. (a) There have been four episodes of significant international macroeconomic policycoordination among the leading industrial nations during the past three decades.The first occurred in 1978 when Germany was induced to stimulate its economyand play as "locomotive" and stimulate growth in other leading industrialcountries also. The effort ended when Germany, fearing inflation, stoopedstimulating its economy. The second was the Plaza Agreement in September of1985 when the United States, Japan, Germany, France, and the United Kingdommet at the Plaza Hotel in New York to engineer a "soft landing" for theovervalued dollar. This effort was regarded as successful but the markets werealready lowering the value of the dollar. The third case is represented by theLouvre Accord in February 1987, when the leading industrial nations agreed onimplicit target zones for the exchange rates among the leading currencies. Thisagreement, however, became inoperative soon after it was reached. The fourthcase is evidenced by the coordinated quick monetary response on the part of theUnited States, Germany, and Japan to October 1987 worldwide equity-marketcrash.(b) International macroeconomic policy coordination to date has been episodic andlimited in scope and it is unlikely that it will be very different in the future. App. On Janaury 1, 1999, 11 of the 15 members of the European Union adopted the euro as their common currency. Britain, Sweden, and Denmark decided not tojoin from the start, but retained the option to join later. Greece was not admittedbecause of its inability to meet most of the Maastricht criteria. The likelyhood,however, is that all four will join the euro by July 2002, when the euro is tocompletely replace the currencies of the participating nations. In the meantime, a new exchange rate mechanism, the ERM II, was installed to keep the currenciesof these four countries from fluctuating to widely, inanticipation of their joining the euro.Multiple-choice Questions:1.

As the first chapter of the book, the general aim here is simply to define the fieldof study of international economics and its importance in today's interdependent world.The material in this chapter can be covered in two classes. I would utilize oneclass to cover Sections 1 to 4 and the second class to cover Sections 5 to 8. Iwould spend most of the second class on Section 6 on the major currentinternational economic challenges facing the United States and the world todayand to show how international economics can suggest ways to solve them. Thisshould greatly enhance students' motivation.Answer to Problems1. a) International economic problems reported in our daily newspapers are likely toinclude:•trade controversies between the United States, Europe, Japan, and China;•great volatility of exchange rates;•Increasing international competition from China and fear of job losses in the United States and other advanced countries.•structural unemployment and slow growth in Europe, and stagnation in Japan;•financial crises in emerging market economies;•restructuring problems of transition economies;•deep poverty in many developing nations in the world.b) Can result in trade restrictions or even a trade war, which reduce the volumeand the gains from trade;•discourage foreign trade and investments, and thus reduce the benefits from trade;•Can result in trade restrictions or even a trade war, which reduce the volume and the gains from trade;•reduces European and Japanese imports and the volume and the benefits from trade;•financial crises in emerging market economies could spread to the United States;•can lead to political instability, which will adversely affect the United States;•can lead to political instability in these countries - which also adversely affect the United States.c) Can result in your paying higher prices for imported products;•lead to great fluctuations in the price of imported products and cost of foreign travel;•Can lead higher prices for imported products and increases the chances that you will have to change jobs;•can lead you to support demands for trade protection in the United States;•can reduce the value of your investments (such as a stocks) in the United States;•can lead to your paying higher taxes for the United States to respond to these threats;•can result in your paying higher taxes to help these nations.2. a) Five industrial nations not mentioned are: Italy, France, Canada, Austria, andIreland.b) See Table 1A.c) Smaller nations, such as Ireland and Austria, are more interdependent than thelarger ones. Note that interdependence was measured by the percentage of thevalue of imports and exports (line 98c and 90c, respectively in IFS) to GDP (line99b).Table 1AEconomic Interdependence asMeasured by Imports and Exports*Source: International Financial Statistics(Washington, D.C., IMF, March 2006).3. a) Five developing nations not mentioned in the text are: Brazil, Pakistan,Colombia, Nepal, and Tunisia.b) See Table 1B.c) In general, the smaller the nation, the greater is its economic interdependence.Note that interdependence was measured by the percentage of the value ofimports and exports (line 98c and 90c, respectively in IFS) to GDP (line 99b).Table 1BEconomic Interdependence asMeasured by Imports and Exports*Source: International Financial Statistics(Washington, D.C., IMF, March 2006).4. Trade between the United States and Brazil is much larger than trade between theUnited States and Argentina. Since Brazil is larger and closer than Argentina, this trade does follow the predictions of the gravity model.5. a) Mankiw’s Economics (4th., 2007) includes the following microeconomicstopics:•The market forces of demand and supply;•elasticity and its application;•the theory of consumer choice;•consumers, producers, and the efficiency of markets;•the costs of production;•firms in competitive markets;•monopoly;•oligopoly;•monopolistic competition;•markets for the factors of production;•the demand for resources;b) Just as the microeconomics parts of your principles text deal with individualconsumers and firms, and with the price of individual commodities and factors of production, so do Parts One and Two of this text deal with production andconsumption of individual nations with nations with and without trade, and withthe relative price of individual commodities and factors of production.c) Mankiw’s Economi cs (4th., 2007) includes the following microeconomics topics:measuring a nation’s income and the cost of living;•production and growth;•savings investment and the financial system;•unemployment and its natural rate;•the monetary system, growth and inflation;•money growth and inflation;•open-economy macroeconomics: basic concepts;• a macroeconomic theory of the open economy;•aggregate demand and aggregate supply;•the influence of monetary and fiscal policy on aggregate demand;•the short-run trade off between inflation and unemployment•five debates over macroeconomic policy.d) Just as the macroeconomics parts of your principles text deal with the aggregatelevel of savings, consumption, investment, and national income, the general price level, and monetary and fiscal policies, so do Parts Three and Four of this textdeal with the aggregate amount of imports, exports, the total international flow of resources, and the policies to affect these broad aggregates.6. a) Consumer demand theory predicts than when the price of a commodity rises(cet. par.), the quantity demanded of the commodity declines.When the price of imports rises to domestic consumers, the quantity demanded of exports can be expected to decline (if everything else remains constant).7. a) A government can reduce a budget deficit by reducing governmentexpenditures and/or increasing taxes.b) A nation can reduce or eliminate a balance of payments deficit by taxingimports and/or subsidizing exports, by borrowing more abroad or lending less toother nations, as well as by reducing the level of its national income.8. a) Nations usually impose restrictions on the free international flow of goods,services, and factors. Differences in language, customs, and laws also hamperthese international flows. In addition, international flows may involve receipts and payments in different currencies, which may change in value in relation to oneanother through time. This is to be contrasted with the interregional flow ofgoods, services, and factors, which face no such restrictions as tariffs and areconducted in terms of the same currency, usually in the same language, and under basically the same set of customs and laws.b) Both international and interregional economic relations involve the overcomingof space or distance. Indeed, they both arise from the problems created bydistance. This distinguishes them from the rest of economics, which abstractsfrom space and treats the economy as a single point in space, in which production, exchange, and consumption take place.9. We can deduce that nations benefit from voluntarily engaging in internationaltrade because if they did not gain or if they lost they could avoid those losses bysimply refusing to trade. Disagreement usually arises regarding the relativedistribution of the gains from specialization in production and trade, but this does not mean that each nation does not gain from trade.10. International trade results in lower prices for consumers but harms domesticproducers of products, which compete with imports. Often those domesticproducers that stand to lose a great deal from imports band together to pressurethe government to restrict imports. Since consumers are many and unorganizedand each individually stands to lose only very little from the import restrictions,governments often give in to the demands of producers and impose some importrestrictions. These topics are discussed in detail in Chapter 9.11. A nation can subsidize exports of the commodity to other nations until it drivesthe competing nation's industry out of business, after which it can raise its priceand benefit from its newly acquired monopoly power.Some economists and politicians in the United States have accused Japan of doing just that (i.e., of engaging in strategic trade and industrial policy at the expense of U.S. industries), but this is a very complex and controversial aspect of tradepolicy and will be examined in detail in Chapter 9.12. a) When the value of the U.S. dollar falls in relation to the currencies of othernations, imports become more expensive for Americans and so they wouldpurchase a smaller quantity of imports.b) When the value of the U.S. dollar falls in relation to the currencies of othernations, U.S. exports become chapter for foreigners and so they would purchase a greater quantity of U.S. exports.Multiple-Choice Questions1. Which of the following products are not produced at all in the United States?*a. Coffee, tea, cocoab. steel, copper, aluminumc. petroleum, coal, natural gasd. typewriters, computers, airplanes2. International trade is most important to the standard of living of:a. the United States*b. Switzerlandc. Germanyd. England3. Over time, the economic interdependence of nations has:*a. grownb. diminishedc. remained unchangedd. cannot say4. A rough measure of the degree of economic interdependence of a nation is given by:a. the size of the nations' populationb. the percentage of its population to its GDP*c. the percentage of a nation's imports and exports to its GDPd. all of the above5. Economic interdependence is greater for:*a. small nationsb. large nationsc. developed nationsd. developing nations6. The gravity model of international trade predicts that trade between two nations is largera. the larger the two nationsb. the closer the nationsc. the more open are the two nations*d. all of the above7.

国际经济学课后答案

国际经济学课后答案

国际经济学课后答案第一章绪论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)。

See Figure 10.8. See Figure 11.9. See Figure 12.10. See Figure 13 on page 67.11. See Figure 14.12. See Figure 15.13.The United States has become the most competitive economy in the world since the early1990’s while the data in Table 7.3 refers to the 1965-1990 period.14.The data in Table 7.4 seem to indicate that China had a comparative advantage incapital-intensive commodities and a comparative disadvantage in unskilled-labor intensive commodities in 1973. This was very likely due to the many trade restrictions and subsidies, which distorted the comparative advantage of China.Its true comparative advantage became evident by 1993 after China had started to liberalize its economy.App. 1a. See Figure 16.1b. For production and consumption to actually occur at the newequilibrium point after the doubling of K in Nation 2, we mustassume either than commodity X is inferior or that Nation 2 is toosmall to affect the relative commodity prices at which it trades.1c. Px/Py must rise (i.e., Py/Px must fall) as a result of growth only.Px/Py will fall even more with trade.1. If the supply of capital increases in Nation 1 in the production of commodity Yonly, the VMPLy curve shifts up, and w rises in both industries. Some labor shifts to the production of Y, the output of Y rises and the output of X falls, r falls, and Px/Py is likely to rise.2. Capital investments tend to increase real wages because they raise the K/L ratioand the productivity of labor. Technical progress tends to increase K/L and realwages if it is L-saving and to reduce K/L and real wages if it is K-saving. Multiple-Choice Questions1. Dynamic factors in trade theory refer to changes in:a. factor endowmentsb. technologyc. tastes*d. all of the above2. Doubling the amount of L and K under constant returns to scale:a. doubles the output of the L-intensive commodityb. doubles the output of the K-intensive commodityc. leaves the shape of the production frontier unchanged*d. all of the above.3. Doubling only the amount of L available under constant returns to scale:a. less than doubles the output of the L-intensive commodity*b. more than doubles the output of the L-intensive commodityc. doubles the output of the K-intensive commodityd. leaves the output of the K-intensive commodity unchanged4. The Rybczynski theorem postulates that doubling L at constant relative commodity prices:a. doubles the output of the L-intensive commodity*b. reduces the output of the K-intensive commodityc. increases the output of both commoditiesd. any of the above5. Doubling L is likely to:a. increases the relative price of the L-intensive commodityb. reduces the relative price of the K-intensive commodity*c. reduces the relative price of the L-intensive commodityd. any of the above6.Technical progress that increases the productivity of L proportionately more than the productivity of K is called:*a. capital savingb. labor savingc. neutrald. any of the above7. A 50 percent productivity increase in the production of commodity Y:a. increases the output of commodity Y by 50 percentb. does not affect the output of Xc. shifts the production frontier in the Y direction only*d. any of the above8. Doubling L with trade in a small L-abundant nation:*a. reduces the nation's social welfareb. reduces the nation's terms of tradec. reduces the volume of traded. all of the above9. Doubling L with trade in a large L-abundant nation:a. reduces the nation's social welfareb. reduces the nation's terms of tradec. reduces the volume of trade*d. all of the above10.If, at unchanged terms of trade, a nation wants to trade more after growth, then the nation's terms of trade can be expected to:*a. deteriorateb. improvec. remain unchangedd. any of the above11. A proportionately greater increase in the nation's supply of labor than of capital is likely to result in a deterioration in the nation's terms of trade if the nation exports:a. the K-intensive commodity*b. the L-intensive commodityc. either commodityd. both commodities12. Technical progress in the nation's export commodity:*a. may reduce the nation's welfareb. will reduce the nation's welfarec. will increase the nation's welfared. leaves the nation's welfare unchanged13. Doubling K with trade in a large L-abundant nation:a. increases the nation's welfareb. improves the nation's terms of tradec. reduces the volume of trade*d. all of the above14.

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 Figure 1 on page 74.Nations 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 inproduction 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.Draw a figure showing: (1) in Panel A a nation's demand and supply curve for Atraded commodity and the nation's excess supply of the commodity, (2) in Panel C the trade partner's demand and supply curve for the same traded commodity and its excess demand for the commodity, and (3) in Panel B the supply and demand for the quantity traded of the commodity, its equilibrium price, and why a price above or below the equilibrium price will not persist. At any other price, QD QS, and P will change to P2.Ans. See Figure 2 on page 74.The equilibrium relative commodity price for commodity X (the traded commodityexported by Nation 1 and imported by Nation 2) is P2 and the equilibrium quantityof commodity X traded is Q2.4.a) Identify the conditions that may give rise to trade between two nations.b) What are some of the assumptions on which the Heckscher-Ohlin theory isbased?c) What does this theory say about the pattern of trade and effect of trade on factorprices?Ans. a) Trade can be based on a difference in factor endowments, technology, or tastes between two nations. A difference either in factor endowments or technology results in a different production possibilities frontier for each nation, which, unless neutralized 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 difference in relative commodity prices and the basis for mutually beneficial trade between the two nations. The difference in relative commodity prices is then translated into a difference 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 given percentage 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 relative commodity prices and trade. Thus, in the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, the international difference 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 international trade to be based primarily on the difference in their factor endowments.c) The Heckscher-Ohlin theorem postulates that each nation will export thecommodity intensive in its relatively abundant and cheap factor and import the commodity intensive in its relatively scarce and expensive factor. As an important corollary, it adds that under highly restrictive assumptions, trade will completely eliminate the pretrade relative and absolute differences in the price of homogeneous factors among nations. 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 on how trade affects factor prices and the distribution of income in each nation. Classical economists were practically silent on this point.5. consumers demand more of commodity X (the L-intensive commodity) and less ofcommodity Y (the K- intensive commodity). Suppose that Nation 1 is India, commodity X is textiles, and commodity Y is food. Starting from the no-trade equilibrium position and using the Heckscher-Ohlin model, trace the effect of this change in tastes on India's(a) relative commodity prices and demand 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 lead to the complete equalization ofrelative commodity and factor prices between India and the United States?Why?Ans. a. The change in tastes can be visualized by a shift toward the textile axis in India's indifference map in such a way that an indifference curve is tangentto the steeper segment of India's production frontier (because of increasingopportunity costs) after the increase in demand for textiles. This will causethe pretrade relative commodity price of textiles to rise in India.b. The increase in the relative price of textiles will lead domesticproducers in India to shift labor and capital from the production of food tothe 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 thesame time, as the demand for food falls, the demand for and thus the priceof capital will fall. With labor becoming relative more expensive,producers in India will substitute capital for labor in the production of bothtextiles and food.Even with the rise in relative wages and in the relative price of textiles,India still remains the L-abundant and low-wage nation with respect to anation such as the United States. However, the pretrade difference in therelative price of textiles between India and the United States is nowsomewhat smaller than before the change in tastes in India. As a result thevolume of trade required to equalize relative commodity prices and hencefactor prices is smaller than before. That is, India need now export asmaller 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 UnitedStates is now smaller and can be more quickly and easily closed (i.e., witha smaller volume of trade).c. Since many of the assumptions required for the complete equalization ofrelative commodity and factor prices do not hold in the real world, greatdifferences can be expected and do in fact remain between real wages inIndia and the United States. Nevertheless, trade would tend to reduce thesedifferences, and the H-O model does identify the forces that must beconsidered to analyze the effect of trade on the differences in the relative andabsolute commodity and factor prices between India and the United States.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 beextended.(c) Explain what is meant by differentiated products and intra-industry trade.Ans. (a) The Heckscher-Ohlin trade model needs to be extended because, while generally correct, 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 modecan be 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 broad product group. Intra-industry trade refers to the international trade in differentiated products.。

国际经济学课后答案

1.What factors explain why the world’s trading nations have become increasingly interdependent,from an economic and political view ,during the post- Wold-War-2?经过第二次世界大战,世界经济体系陷入瘫痪状况,因此,战后各国的依存度也大大提高较之之前,分别从经济和政治两个角度体现。

政治方面,因为冷战的结束,各国关注焦点逐渐从政治转向经济,更加加紧了经济联系发展;经济角度体现在三个方面,分别是贸易,货物,服务,原材料,能量等方面的流通交换;财政方面,表现在如外债,外国资金投入,和外汇比率等方面;以及商业的跨国化生产,多边合作,全球分工生产等方面。

2.identify the major fallacies of international trade关于经济全球化的谬论有三个,1.贸易0和,反对者们认为全球市场份额是固定的,一方收益,一方必支出,实际不然,贸易是正合的;2.进口不好,出口不好,这也是错误的,如果一味的像他国出口产品而不进口产品,逐渐的国家财富会发生转移,他国将没有钱再继续购买商品;关税和出口配额拯救就业,错误的,虽然短期看关税和出口配额可以帮助挽回一定的国内被进口品竞争产业的就业,但是长期讲不利于一国的出口以及相应影响的进口品加工产业。

1.how did smith’s view on international trade differ from those of the mercantilists重商主义学说观点是静态的,而亚当的学说是动态的,这就是最大的不同,重商主义认为世界经济的市场大小是固定的,一国的贸易收益来自于其贸易伙伴的损失,并不是所有国家都能从贸易中获益,然而事实并非如此,亚当认为世界经济大小并不固定,国际贸易允许各国间进行专业化生产可以提高劳动生产率,而生产率的提高,则可以使各国均从中获利。

克鲁格曼《国际经济学》中文版·第九版课后习题答案

克鲁格曼《国际经济学》中文版·第九版课后习题答案克鲁格曼《国际经济学》中文版·第九版课后习题答案第一章练习与答案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?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。

6.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。

7.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。

国际经济学课后答案

国际经济学课后答案这个概念。

第三世界包括亚洲、非洲、拉丁美洲及其他地区的130多个国家,占世界陆地面积和总人口的70%以上。

第三世界国家绝大多数过去都是帝国主义的殖民地或附属国,它们取得政治独立后,还面临这肃清殖民主义残余势力、发展民族经济、巩固民族独立的历史任务。

它们是维护世界和平的重要力量。

相对来说,第三世界国家都是不怎么发达且较贫困的国家。

5. 国内生产总值(gross domestic product)答:国内生产总值是指在一定时期内(通常为一年),一个国家或地区的经济中所生产出的全部最终产品和服务的价值,常被公认为衡量国家经济状况的最佳指标。

它不但可反映一个国家的经济表现,更可以反映一国的国力与财富。

一般来说,国内生产总值共有四个不同的组成部分,即消费、私人投资、政府支出和净出口额。

6. 贸易协定(trade agreement)答:贸易协定是指两个或两个以上的国家之间调整它们相互贸易关系的一种书面协议。

其特点是对缔约国之间的贸易关系规定得比较具体,有效期一般较短,签订的程序也比较简单,一般只须经过签字国的行政首脑或其代表签署即可生效。

贸易协定的内容通常包括:贸易额、双方出口货单、作价办法、使用的货币、支付方式、关税优惠等。

二、习题1.GDP不是解释两国贸易量的唯一重要因素,距离也是至关重要的因素之一。

考虑到距离,澳大利亚的进出口运输成本相对更高,因此减少了贸易的吸引力。

因为加拿大与美国相邻,而澳大利亚不与任何一个大经济体相邻,这使得加拿大更加开放,而澳大利亚更加自给自足。

2.墨西哥与美国毗邻,但是距离欧盟很远,因此它与美国的贸易量很大。

巴西离美国和欧盟都很远,因此巴西与美国和欧盟的贸易量大致相当。

墨西哥贸易量比巴西大,其原因一方面由于墨西哥离大经济体(美国)近,另一方面由于它是北美贸易协定的成员国之一。

巴西远离任何一个大经济体,与它签订自由贸易协定的国家经济规模都比较小。

3.如果这每个国家的GDP都增加一倍,并不意味着贸易会增加四倍,可以用教材表2-2中的例子说明。

In the first lecture on Chapter 17 (a core chapter), I would cover sections 1 and 2 andassign problems 1 to 4. Section 2 is a review of principles of economics but myexperience is that the average student needs it to clearly understand the material in the rest of the chapter.2. In the second lecture, I would cover sections 3 and 4 and assign problems 3 to 8. Mostother texts do not deal with foreign trade multipliers in any great detail because of thedifficulty of deriving them. However, their meaning and use is important and they can s still be discussed without deriving them (their derivation is in section A17.1 of theappendix, which can be made optional for the best and most eager students in the class).3. In the third lecture, I would cover sections 5 and 6 and assign problems 9 to 14. Thesetwo sections are very important and difficult.Answer to Problems:1. See Figure 1 on the next page.The equilibrium level of national income is Y E = 1,000 and is given by point E at which the C+I function crosses the 45° line.2. a. S=-100+0.2Y.The saving function is obtained by subtracting vertically the consumption function from the 45˚ lineb. See Figure 2.The equilibrium level of national income is Y E = 1,000 and is given by point E at which the positively-sloped S function crosses the horizontal I function.3. See Figure 3.The new equilibrium level of national income is Y E = 1,500 and is given by point E' at which the new C+I' function crosses the 45° line.4. a. See Figure 4 on the next page.The new equilibrium level of national income is Y E = 1,500 and is given by point E' atwhich the S function crosses the new I' function.b. k=1/MPS=1/(1/5)=5.5. a. S(Y)+M(Y)=-100+0.2Y+150+0.2Y=50+0.4YI+X=100+350=45050+0.4Y=450; therefore, Y E=400/0.4=1000.b. See Figure 5.The equilibrium level of national income is Y E = 1,000 and is given by point E at which the positively-sloped S+M function crosses the horizontal I+X function.6. See Figure 6.The equilibrium level of national income is Y E = 1,000 and is given by point E at which the negatively-sloped X-M function crosses the positively-sloped S-I function.7. a.

The X-M function would shift up as in Figure 9 without full employment. With fullemployment, the depreciation will result in inflation and a return to the condition ofFigure 8 (i.e., the X-M function would shift up and then down to its original position),unless domestic absorption is somehow reduced.13. One reason is that the government sector is not included. Another reason is if the nationis not in equilibrium.14. The advantages of automatic over policy adjustment to correct a trade disequilibrium are:(1) adjustment begins to operate even before the problem is recognized; (2) there are nopossibilities of policy mistakes; and (3) the adjustment will continue until the tradedisequilibrium is entirely eliminated. On the other hand, adjustment policies can only be enacted after the problem is recognized. There are then delays to enact policies and forthem to have effect. Thus, by the time adjustment policies become effective the nationmay not longer face the problem or may face the opposite problem. Wrong policies can also be adopted.App. 1a. ∆I + m*∆Y* = s∆Y + m∆Y∆I* + m∆Y = s*∆Y* + m*∆Y*∆X + m*∆Y* = s∆Y - m∆Y-∆X + m∆Y = (s*+m*)∆Y*(6921029.doc) 17-10 Dominick Salvatore-∆X + m∆Y = ∆Y*s* + m*∆X + m*(-∆X + m∆Y) = s∆Y + m∆Ys* + m*∆X + -m*∆X + m*m∆Y = (s + m)∆Ys* + m+s*∆X + m*∆X - m*∆X + m*m∆Y = (s + m)(s* + m*)∆Ys*∆X + m*m∆Y = (s + m)(s* + m*)∆Ys*∆X = [(s + m) (s* + m*) - m*m]∆Y∆X = [ ]∆Y s*∆Y = s* = 1∆X ss* + mm* + ms* + m*s - m*m s + m + m*s/s*b. k" = 1s + mthat is, k" is already a foreign repercussion.App. 2. Most petroleum exporting nations, notably Saudi Arabia, Libya, and Kuwait could not spend all of their petroleum earnings on increased imports from petroleum importing countries during the 1970s. Most unspent earnings were used for portfolio purchases inthe developed nations, especially in the U.S., through the Eurodollar market. At the sametime, most oil-importing nations deflated their economies to reduce their oil bill andbalance of payments difficulties. The sharp decline in petroleum since 1981completelyeliminated the excess earnings of most OPEC nations so that the transfer problemdisappeared.Multiple-choice Questions:1. In order to isolate the income adjustment mechanism, we assume that:a. the nation operates under a fixed exchange rate systemb. all prices, wages, and interest rates are constantc. the nation operates at less than full employment(6921029.doc) 17-11 Dominick Salvatore*d. all of the above2.
