Ch 1 Ten Principles of economic

?Scarcity: the limited nature of society’s resources

?Economics: the study of how society manages its scarce resources, e.g.

?There are 10 principle of economic which are needed to be remember throughout.

?People face trade-off

1. Individual(time,money) and society(efficiency vs equality).

?Cost of something is what your give up to get it.\

1. The opportunity cost of any item is whatever must be given up to

obtain it.

?Rational people thinking at margin(effect of one additional item)

1. This principle assume that everyone is rational people(made their

decision base on their interests) this was addressed on Adam Smith's

Wealth of Nation.

?People respond to incentives(诱惑物)

1. This statement reveals that human psychology is a important

feature in economic study.

?Trade can make everyone better-off

1.Ex: trade of agricultural product and technology between Japan and America,

it will break the law of PPF. It involved absolute advantages(low input) and

comparative advantage(low opportunity cost win)

?Markets are usually a good way to organize economy activity.

1.Markets can balance the price.

?Government can sometime improve market outcome.

? A country's standard of living depends on its ability to produce goods and services.

?Price rise when government print too much money.

Society Faces a Short-run Tradeoff Between Inflation and Unemployment

Ch2 Thinking like a economist

2018年2月6日

16:32

Economists play two roles:

1.Scientists: try to explain the world.

2.Policy advisors: try to improve it

Base on these two roles, they have two types of statement. Normative and positive. In my opinion, economists as a scientists tend to use positive statement, because positive statement is base on fact, and it is testable. Policy advisors use both positive and normative, because they need to give appropriate advice to improve overall standard of living. Therefore, they will come out with some normative statement to address their opinion, and use positive statement to prove their normative statement. Assumptions: because of the world is complex, there are two much variables, and its unlike to fit it in all one models. Therefore, economists need to make a simplify assumptions where most of the time only have two coordinates with two variables.

Ex: Countries A and countries B are trading products X and Y.

Ch3 Interdependence and the gains from trade 2018年2月6日

16:28

Absolute advantage:

The ability to produce a good using fewer inputs than another producer

Measures the cost of a good in terms of the inputs required to produce it

Principle of comparative advantage

Each good should be produced by the individual that has the smaller opportunity cost of producing that good

Comparative advantage

The ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another producer Principle of comparative advantage

Each good should be produced by the individual that has the smaller opportunity cost of producing that good

note:These idea were all following a principle that "trade" can make everyone better-off. Therefore, in a case of international trade, two countries are willing to produce product that has opportunity cost. Off course, in international market, the less opportuntiy cost, the more completitve of the prodcut or serivce.

Ch 4 Supply and demand

2018年2月10日

I.Markets and competition

a.What is a market

A market is a groups of buyers and sellers of a particular good or service.

The buyers as a group determine the demand for the product, and the sellers

as a group determine the supply of the product.

Organized market: where has middle man set the price and time for exchange

of product. Such as agricultural commodities. Usually have fairly large value

of product being exchanged.

Less organized market: Small town shops where sellers and buyers vary from

time to time. The price usually decide by sellers but most of the time driven

by competition.

II.What is competition

Competitive market: a market in which there are so many buyers and so

many sellers that each has a negligible impact on the market price.

There are conditions must be satisfy to be a perfect competition market.

(1) Thegoods offered for sale are all exactly the same, and (2) the buyers and

sellers areso numerous that no single buyer or seller has any influence over the

market

price

II.Demand

a.The demand curve: the relationship bet. Price and quantity demanded

Quantity demanded: any good is the amount of the good tat buyers are

willing and able to purchase.

Law of demand: the claim that, other things being equal, the quantity

demanded of a good falls when the price of the good rises.

II.Market demand VS individual demand

Market demand = sum(individual demand)

c.Shifts in the demand curve

The market demand curve holds other things constant, but it was not always

the case. There may be something happened that will change the demand

curve. Either increase demand that will shift to the right or decrease demand

that will make curve shift to the left. Variables that will affect demand curve

are. such as

1)Income

Normal good vs inferior good: demand for a good falls when income

falls, this is called normal good. Demand for a good rises when income

falls, this good called inferior good. Example of inferior good may be a

bus rides. When people's income decrease they may less likely to buy a

ride or take cab, they tend to ride bus, because its cheap.

2)prices of related goods

Complements: when a fall in the price of one good raises the demand

for another good

Substitutes: two goods for which anincrease in the price ofone leads to

an increasein the demand for theother

3)Tastes

Whether your like or not.

4)expectations

Expectations about future may alter what you do now. if people

thinking that in the future, their income will raise, then they tend to buy

more. Therefore demand increase; in my opinion, stock market is all

about expectations, when buyer thinking stock price will go up, they

will buy more, therefore stock price may be overpriced. Other case may

have low expectations.

5)number of buyers.

III.Supply

a.The supply curve: The relationship bet. Price and quantity supplied

Quantity supplied: the amount of a good that sellers are willing and able to

sell.

Law of supply: the claim that, other things being equal, the quantity supplied

of a good rises when the price of the good rises.

II.Market supply VS individual supply

Market supply = sum(individuals supply)

c.Shifts in the supply curve

1.Raises quantity supplied at every price, such as a fall in the price of sugar,

shifts they supply curve to the right called increase in supply.

2.Change that reduces the quantity supplied at every price shifts the supply

curve to the left called decrease in supply

There are some variables that will change supply curve.

1.Input prices: This in other word, cost of production, when price of production

decrease, producer tend to produce more product, because it become more

profitable, if price of production increase, the producer tend to produce less

product, because it wasn't as much as profitable.

2.Technology: Better technology can help produce more product with less cost.

It follow idea of input prices.

3.Expectations: 4) number of sellers\

5.Supply and demand Together

a.Equilibrium: a situation in which the market price has reached the level at

which quantity supplied equals quantity demand.

Surplus: A situation in which quantity supplied >Qd

Shortage: A situation in which Quantity supplied

2.Three steps to analyzing changes in equilibrium

1.We decide whether the event shifts the supply curve,

the demand curve, or, in some cases, both curves.

2.Second, we decide whether the curve shifts to the right or to the left.

3.Third, we use the supply-and-demand diagram to compare the initial and the

new equilibrium, which shows how the shift affects the equilibrium price and

quantity

VI.Conclusion: How prices allocate Resource

1.This chapter has analyzed supply and demand in a single market.

2.One of the Ten Principles of Economics discussed in Chapter 1 is that markets are

usually a good way to organize economic activity

3.Similarly, prices determine who produces each good and how much is produced.

I.Summary

Ch5 Elasticity and its application

2018年2月10日

19:40

i.The elasticity of demand

a.The price elasticity of demand and its determinates

Elasticity: a measure of the responsiveness of quantity demanded or

quantity supplied to a change in one of its determinates.

Price elasticity of demand: how much the quantity demanded of a good

or services responds to a change in the price of that good or services.

Some factories that can effect elasticity of demand

i.Availability of close substitutes

ii.Necessities versus luxuries

iii.Definition of the market: narrowly defined markets tend to have

more elastic demand than broadly defined market.

iv.Time horizon: goods tend to have more elastic demand over longer

time horizons.

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/4316891508.html,puting price elasticity of demand

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity

demand/ percentage change in price

c.The midpoint method: a better way to calculate percentage changes

and elasticities.

d.The variety of demand curves

i.Demand is elastic if price elasticity of demand is >1

ii.Demand is inelastic if elasticity of demand is < 1

iii.Demand has unit elasticity if price elasticity is = 1

e.Total revenue and the price elasticity of demand

i.For a price increase, if demand is elastic/result in decrease of total

revenue.

? E > 1: %change in Q > %change in P

?TR decreases: the fall in revenue from lower Q > the increase

in revenue from higher P

ii.For a price increase, if demand is inelastic/result in increase of

total revenue.

? E < 1: % change in Q < % change in P

?TR increase: the fall in revenue from lower Q < the increase in

revenue from higher P.

b.Elasticity and total revenue along a linear demand curve

c.Other demand elasticities

b.The elasticity of supply

?The price elasticity of supply and its determinates

Price elasticity of supply: How much the quantity supplied of a good

responds to a change in the price of that good

Calculation is same as elasticity in demand.

Greater price elasticity of supply if producer can easily change the

quantity they can be produce.

Elasticity of supply is greater in the long run than in the short run.

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/4316891508.html,puting the price elasticity of supply

c.The variety of supply curves

iii.Three applications of supply, demand, and elasticity

a.Can good news for farming be bad news for farmers?

b.Why did OPEC fail to keep the price of Oil high?

c.Does drug interdiction increase or decrease drug-related crime?

iv.Conclusion

v.Summary

Ch6 Supply,Demand,and government policies 2018年2月10日

19:46

i.Controls on prices

Price ceiling: a legal maximum on the price at which a good can be sold

Price floor: A legal minimum on the price at which a good can be sold

i.How price ceilings affect market outcomes

The price ceiling will either have not effect on the equilibrium or cause

shortage. The shortage will led to even less supply and become more

unfair toward people who want the house to live most. Because supply

may rent to those who pay more, or who is relate to him/her. It may

potentially decrease the price of house.

ii.How price floors affect market outcomes

Ex: minimum wage.

The price floors will either have not affect on the equilibrium or causes

surplus. In the case of labor market, the surplus of supply will rise the

unemployment rate and threat people who needs work most.

c.Evaluating price controls

ii.Taxes

Tax incidence: the manner in which the burden of a tax is shared among

participants in a market.

a.How taxes on sellers affect market outcomes

In a short-run, tax put on seller will decrease supply. Because the input

of the production has been increase.

b.How taxes on buyers affect market outcomes

In short-run, tax put on buyers will decrease demand. In long-run

c.Elasticity and tax incidence

Elasticity play important role in whether consumer pay for increase in

taxes or buyer pay for increase in taxes.

For example, if a product is a elastic, the change in price will largely

effect the quantity. In this case, producer pay more money for increase

in tax, because they won't increase that much of money if they pay more

taxes.

For a inelastic product, the change in price will have small effect on the

quantity. In this case, the consumer pay more money for increase in tax,

because producer will increase price on the product due to increase in

tax, and it only have little affect on their total revenue.

iii.Conclusion

Ch7 consumers, producers and the efficiency of market

2018年2月10日

19:48

In this chapter, we take up the topic of welfare economics, the

study of how the allocation of resources affects economic well-

being. We begin by examining the benefits that buyers and sellers receive from engaging in market transactions. We then examine how society can make these benefits as large as possible. This

analysis leads to a profound conclusion: In any market, the

equilibrium of supply and demand maximizes the total benefits

received by all buyers and sellers combined.

i.Consumer surplus

a.Willingness to pay

Willingness to pay: The maximum amount that a buyer will

pay for a good.

Consumer surplus: the amount a buyer is willing to pay for

a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it. This

measure benefit that consumer gain from the trading.

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/4316891508.html,ing the demand curve to measure consumer

surplus(downward curve)

Consumer surplus is the area above the price and below the

demand curve.

c.How a lower price raises consumer surplus

This question is simply, let's assume that your willing to

spend 100 dollars on a Broadway ticket. Compare price

between 50 and 25, what is ur consumer surplus according to

these price that your actually get the ticket. For a price of 50,

your consumer surplus is 50, and for 25, your consumer

surplus is 75. Therefore, the lower the price that your gets a

product or service, that higher consumer surplus that you

have for that product or service.

d.What does consumer surplus measure?

The consumer surplus helps us judge the desirability of the

market outcome. The higher the consumer surplus = more

desire for that product or service.

Overall the consumer surplus is a good tools to measure wellbeing of the society. The higher consumer surplus, the happier consumer does. But, there are one gray area for the consumer surplus, addict drug. From the standpoint of society, willingness to pay in this

instance is not a good measure of t he buyers’ benefit, and

WHAT’S NEW IN THE S EVENTH EDITION: A new Case Study on Left-Digit Bias has been added and a new In the News feature on "Can Brain Science Improve Economics" has been added. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: By the end of this chapter, students should understand: how to examine problems caused by asymmetric information. the market solutions to asymmetric information. why democratic voting systems may not represent the preferences of society. why people may not always behave as rational maximizers. CONTEXT AND PURPOSE: Chapter 22 is the last chapter in the microeconomics portion of the text. It is the second of two unrelated chapters that introduce students to advanced topics in microeconomics. These two chapters are intended to whet their appetites for further study in economics. The purpose of Chapter 22 is to give students a taste of three topics on the frontier of microeconomic research. The first topic addressed is asymmetric information , a situation when one person in an economic relationship has more relevant knowledge than the other person does. The second topic is political economy , the application of economic tools to the understanding of the functioning of government. The third topic addressed is behavioral economics , the introduction of psychology into the study of economic issues. 22 FRONTIERS OF MICROECONOMICS

曼昆《经济学原理》笔记

曼昆《经济学原理》汇总 第一章 个人做出决策的四个原理: 1) 人们面临权衡取舍(做出决策的时候人们不得不在不同的目标之间做出取舍) 2) 某种东西的成本是为了得到它而放弃的东西(比如读大学,要考虑到不能工作带来的工资损失) 3) 理性人考虑边际量(比如应该读到什么时候才能拿到最好的工资,博士,硕士呵呵) 4) 人们会对激励做出反应(比如去超市买东西很便宜,于是我们去买,结果买了很多的不需要的东西,反倒花了更多的钱) 经济相互交易的三个原理: 5) 贸易能使每个人的状况更好(想想如果没有贸易,我们还处于自然经济的状况,那么我们需要做所有的事情,需要去做冰箱,彩电……不可能吧。没有贸易就没有竞争了,那么我们就可能在某一领域被人们垄断,想想封闭的中国,我们可能不能得到很多的先进的科技,但是我们现在和很多的国家贸易,这样我们可以享用更多的先进的技术) 6) 市场通常是组织经济活动的一种好方法(这个东西从我学过的邓小平理论当中可以反复地看到,无形的手,价格!) 7) 政府有的时候可以改善市场结果(我们需要政府来维持这个社会的治安……,抄一句:促进效率和促进公平〈尽管很多的时候他们是一对矛盾,有的时候政府也不一定能做到这一点〉市场失灵) 整体经济如何运行的三个原理: 8) 一国的生活水平取决于它生产的物品与劳务的能力(就是劳动生产率,你工作一个小时,那么你能够创造出多少的财富。那么我们要提高生活水平,我们就需要去得到良好教育,现在我就在这么做,呵呵,拥有生产工

曼昆《经济学原理(微观经济学分册)》(第6版)笔记(第13章 生产成本)

Ch 1 Ten Principles of economic ?Scarcity: the limited nature of society’s resources ?Economics: the study of how society manages its scarce resources, e.g. ?There are 10 principle of economic which are needed to be remember throughout. ?People face trade-off 1. Individual(time,money) and society(efficiency vs equality). ?Cost of something is what your give up to get it.\ 1. The opportunity cost of any item is whatever must be given up to obtain it. ?Rational people thinking at margin(effect of one additional item) 1. This principle assume that everyone is rational people(made their decision base on their interests) this was addressed on Adam Smith's Wealth of Nation. ?People respond to incentives(诱惑物) 1. This statement reveals that human psychology is a important feature in economic study. ?Trade can make everyone better-off 1.Ex: trade of agricultural product and technology between Japan and America, it will break the law of PPF. It involved absolute advantages(low input) and comparative advantage(low opportunity cost win) ?Markets are usually a good way to organize economy activity. 1.Markets can balance the price. ?Government can sometime improve market outcome. ? A country's standard of living depends on its ability to produce goods and services. ?Price rise when government print too much money.

曼昆宏观经济学读书笔记(DOC)

曼昆宏观经济学读书笔记 宏观经济学之所以成为宏观,是因为它的研究对象是一国经济运行,包括通货膨胀、经济增长等,而不仅仅是一个企业、市场或家庭的经济行为。宏观经济学滥觞于凯恩斯,至今已经和微观经济学分庭抗礼,而且宏观经济政策在经济活动中作用十分巨大。 曼昆经济学原理宏观部分开篇讨论宏观经济中各种数据,当然,在宏观经济学中数据始终扮演十分重要的角色,在指标监控基础上形成的各种宏观经济政策调控工具是决策者的宠儿。 第二十三章中,曼昆论述了一国收入的衡量。一般来说,衡量一国国民经济可以从收入和支出两个角度来计算,而在一个经济活动中必然有一个收入对应一个支出,所以两种方法得到的结论是一样的。在这里,无论微观还是宏观,基本上都逃不掉如下这幅图: 接下来,曼昆讨论了国民生产总值的含义。众所周知,国家会统计每季度的GDP,并在年末获得年度GDP。国民生产总值是在一定时间内一个国家所生产的所有最终商品和劳务的市场价值。深刻理解国民生产总值含义要抓住每一个词汇,这是宏观里非常重要的概念。与GDP相似的还有如下几个收入概念:

GNP GDP NNP GNP NI NNP PI NI =+=-=-=-本国国民民国外所得-外国国民本国所得 折旧 企业间接税+企业贴补 企业留存收益+其他所得 可支配收入=PI-个人所得税 按照四部门经济模型,我们可以有如下GDP 构成: GDP C I G NX =+++ 这里必须强调投资和我们平时所讲的投资是有区别的,这里投资主要是购买用于生产物品的物品,也就购买生产资料,包括机械、建筑等。 在第二十三章最后一节里,曼昆阐述了三个非常重要的概念:名义GDP 、真实GDP 和GDP 平减指数。概而言之,名义GDP 是以当年价格乘以生产数量而得到的数字;真实GDP 主要排除了价格的影响,以一个年份的价格作为不变价格,乘以当年生产数量从而得到真实GDP ,主要反映生产数量的变化,可以更好的衡量一国的经济福利;GDP 平减指数是用来衡量价格变动的指标,GDP 100GDP GDP =?名义平减指数真实。需要指出, GDP 平减指数可以用来测量通货膨胀的一个指标,这就要通过以下公式计算GDP 平减指数的变动: 100%GDP GDP GDP GDP -=?第二年平减指数第一年平减指数平减指数第一年平减指数 当然,GDP 并不是完美的,在环境、收入分配等环节上是无法通过GDP 反映的。虽然如今很多经济学家都在呼吁绿色GDP 或者GDP 重新改革,而目前我们国家还有太多需要发展,经济水平还是偏下,在东部也许可以重新衡量GDP 统计,在中西部则还是弊大于利。GDP 衡量体系一旦变化,这些地区将面临更加不利发展的经济环境。这就好比教导三岁小孩要先天下之忧而忧,他又真能做到如此?经济就像人生,经历波澜壮阔、起起伏伏之后才能把握住最美、最好的一幕,让一个还没有发展的经济区域妄谈环境、低碳必会引来因噎废食。 接着在二十四章里,曼昆谈论了消费物价指数(Consumer Prize Index )。这是一个非常有大众缘的指数,无论是国内还是国外媒体CPI 的确是一个抢眼的词汇。首先,曼昆介绍了消费物价指数含义和计算方法。所谓的消费物价指数,是消费者购买一篮子商品和劳务所支付的总价格。根据各种商品在消费者消费中重要程度高低赋予一定的权重,计算出当年总支出。再确定某一个基期价格,利用下面公式: 消费者物价指数=(当期总物价/基期总物价)×100 然后通过计算相邻年份或月份CPI 的变动率,也就是通货膨胀率就可以衡量一定时期内价格变动的比率。当然,消费者物价指数有其固有的弱点。消费者物价指数反映不了消费偏向导致的消费结构的变化,所以一揽子商品必须适时而变。消费者物价指数无法反映新产品和质量的变动。 如消费者物价指数,GDP 平减指数也是反映通货膨胀一个指数,而且这两个指数可以相互配合来确定当年物价变动状况。而两者又存在一些差别。从对象上看,GDP 平减指数反映的是所有生产的物品和劳务,而CPI 仅仅是消费者购买的物品和劳务,这就导致石油价格上涨时非产油国的CPI 与GDP 平减指数有较大的

曼昆-十大经济学原理,中英文对照

十大经济学原理。 曼昆在《经济学原理》一书中提出了十大经济学原理,他们分别是: 十大经济学原理一 :人们面临权衡取舍。人们为了获得一件东西,必须放弃另一件东西。决策需要对目标进行比较。 People Face Trade offs. To get one thing, you have to give up something else. Making decisions requires trading off one goal against another. 例子:这样的例子很多,典型的是在“大炮与黄油”之间的选择,军事上所占的资源越多,可供民用消费和投资的资源就会越少。同样,政府用于生产公共品的资源越多,剩下的用于生产私人品的资源就越少;我们用来消费的食品越多,则用来消费的衣服就越少;学生用于学习的时间越多,那么用于休息的时间就越少。 十大经济学原理二 :某种东西的成本是为了得到它所放弃的东西。决策者必须要考虑其行为的显性成本和隐性成本。 The Cost of Something is what You Give Up to Get It. Decision-makers have to consider both the obvious and implicit costs of their actions. 例子:某公司决定在一个公园附近开采金矿的成本。开采者称由于公园的门票收入几乎不受影响,因此金矿开采的成本很低。但可以发现伴随着金矿开采带来的噪声、水和空气的污染、环境的恶化等,是否真的不会影响公园的风景价值?尽管货币价值成本可能会很小,但是考虑到环境和自然生态价值会丧失,因此机会成本事实上可能很大。 十大经济学原理三 :理性人考虑边际量。理性的决策者当且仅当行动的边际收益超过边际成本时才采取行动。 Rational People Think at Margin. A rational decision-maker takes action if and only if the marginal benefit of the action exceeds the marginal cost. 例子:“边际量”是指某个经济变量在一定的影响因素下发生的变动量。例如,人在饥饿时吃一个包子的边际量(此时又叫边际效用)比在温饱时吃一个包子的边际量要大。 十大经济学原理四 :人们会对激励作出反应。当成本或收益变动时,人们的行为也会发生变动。 People Respond to Incentives. Behavior changes when costs or benefits change. 例子:比如一个学生,如果老师在课堂上表扬了他,他会感到很高兴,然后会更加努力,也可能因受表扬而骄傲退步。 十大经济学原理五 :交易能使每个人状况更好。交易使每个人专攻于他或她最擅长的领域。通过和他人的交易,人们可以购买更多样的产品和服务。

曼昆《经济学原理》读书笔记

曼昆《经济学原理》读书笔记 文管2班修翔宇 早有网友对曼昆的著作《经济学原理》作出过这样的感叹:假如早几年读到这本书,也许我的人生是另外一种选择。 读一本好书就如同交一个挚友,而《经济学原理》就是这样一本值得你去品读的好书。 本书开篇就介绍了经济学的十大原理,后面的叙述都围绕这十大原理展开,在后文中又反复提及,思路清晰,重点分明,内容简单易懂,对于初次接触经济学的人来说,它是一本不可多得的好书。 在本书开头,曼昆教授就给出了作为一个21世纪初的学生学习经济学的三个原因:一、它有助于你了解你所生活在其中的世界;二、它将使你更清明地参与经济:三、它将使你更好地理解经济政策的潜力与局限性。 作为一名文化产业管理专业的学生,一定要对国内和国外的文化产业市场有所了解,而学习经济学的理论知识便是帮你更好地去了解国内外文化市场的第一步。 曼昆所提出的经济学十大原理 一、人们如何做出决策。 原理1:人们面临权衡取舍。 原理2:某种东西的成本是为了得到它所放弃的东西。 原理3:理性人考虑边际量。 原理4:人们会对激励做出反应。 二、人们如何相互交易。 原理5:贸易能使每个人状况更好。 原理6:市场通常是组织经济活动的一种好方法。 原理7:政府有时可以改善市场结果。 三、整体经济如何运行。 原理8:一国的生活水平取决于它生产物品与劳务的能力。 原理9:当政府发行了过多货币时,物价上升。 原理10:社会面临通货膨胀与失业之间的短期权衡取舍。 本书开篇所列出的经济学十大原理和我们课堂上所学习的一致,这就进一步地说明了曼昆教授的经济理论得到了现代大多数人的认可,是主流的经济理论。 开门见山地提出了经济学十大原理之后,曼昆教授开始提醒我们,如何像一个经济学家一样思考和解释经济现象和经济问题。这对我们无论是学习经济学理论还是实践应用都有这极大的帮助。 以下是我对该书主要内容的一些摘录(大部分是从原文复制): 市场如何运行 1、在竞争市场中,供应和需求共同作用,影响最终的市场结果 此时,调节供应和需求平衡的是价格 供应和需求平衡时,获得最大的消费者剩余和生产者剩余之和。 2、竞争市场中,企业是价格的接受者。它的边际收益等于市场价格。在长期均衡中,市场价格等于 最低平均总成本
