1. Price, Income, Cross & Supply Elasticities | 需求、收入、交叉与供给弹性
Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) = %ΔQd / %ΔP. It measures responsiveness of quantity demanded to price changes. If |PED| > 1, demand is elastic; |PED| < 1, inelastic; |PED| = 1, unit elastic.
需求价格弹性 (PED) = 需求量变化百分比 / 价格变化百分比。它衡量需求量对价格变化的反应程度。若 |PED| > 1,需求富有弹性;|PED| < 1,缺乏弹性;|PED| = 1,单位弹性。
Total revenue rule: when demand is elastic, a price cut raises total revenue; when demand is inelastic, a price rise raises total revenue. The relationship follows from TR = P × Q.
总收益规则:当需求富有弹性时,降价可增加总收益;当需求缺乏弹性时,提价可增加总收益。这一关系源于 TR = P × Q。
Income Elasticity of Demand (YED) = %ΔQd / %ΔY. Normal goods have YED > 0; inferior goods have YED < 0. Luxury goods typically show YED > 1.
需求收入弹性 (YED) = 需求量变化百分比 / 收入变化百分比。正常品的 YED > 0;劣等品 YED < 0;奢侈品的 YED 通常大于 1。
Cross Elasticity of Demand (XED) = %ΔQd of good A / %ΔP of good B. Substitutes give positive XED; complements give negative XED.
需求交叉弹性 (XED) = A 商品需求量变化百分比 / B 商品价格变化百分比。替代品的 XED 为正;互补品的 XED 为负。
Price Elasticity of Supply (PES) = %ΔQs / %ΔP. PES tends to be higher in the long run than in the short run as firms can adjust all inputs.
供给价格弹性 (PES) = 供给量变化百分比 / 价格变化百分比。由于厂商能调整所有投入,长期 PES 通常高于短期。
2. Consumer and Producer Surplus | 消费者与生产者剩余
Consumer surplus (CS) = willingness to pay − market price. On a linear demand curve, CS = ½ × (maximum price − market price) × quantity. Producer surplus (PS) = market price − minimum supply price; area above supply curve and below price.
消费者剩余 (CS) = 支付意愿 − 市场价格。在线性需求曲线下,CS = ½ × (最高支付价格 − 市场价格) × 数量。生产者剩余 (PS) = 市场价格 − 最低供应价格;即供给曲线上方、价格下方的面积。
Total welfare = CS + PS. A deadweight loss occurs when output is not at the socially optimal level (where MSB = MSC).
社会总福利 = CS + PS。当产量未达到社会最优水平 (MSB = MSC) 时,会产生无谓损失。
3. Cost, Revenue and Profit Maximisation | 成本、收益与利润最大化
Total Cost (TC) = Total Fixed Cost (TFC) + Total Variable Cost (TVC). Average Cost (AC) = TC / Q. Marginal Cost (MC) = ΔTC / ΔQ. When MC < AC, AC falls; when MC > AC, AC rises.
总成本 (TC) = 总固定成本 (TFC) + 总可变成本 (TVC)。平均成本 (AC) = TC / Q。边际成本 (MC) = ΔTC / ΔQ。当 MC < AC 时,AC 下降;当 MC > AC 时,AC 上升。
Total Revenue (TR) = P × Q. Average Revenue (AR) = TR / Q = P. Marginal Revenue (MR) = ΔTR / ΔQ. For a linear demand curve P = a − bQ, MR = a − 2bQ.
总收益 (TR) = P × Q。平均收益 (AR) = TR / Q = P。边际收益 (MR) = ΔTR / ΔQ。对于线性需求曲线 P = a − bQ,MR = a − 2bQ。
The profit-maximising rule is MR = MC. In perfect competition, P = AR = MR, so the rule becomes P = MC. A firm should shut down in the short run if P < AVC.
利润最大化条件为 MR = MC。在完全竞争市场中,P = AR = MR,因此条件简化为 P = MC。若短期内价格低于平均可变成本 (P < AVC),厂商应停业。
4. Market Structures and Efficiency | 市场结构与效率
In perfect competition, long‑run equilibrium occurs where P = MC = minimum AC, achieving both allocative efficiency (P = MC) and productive efficiency (AC minimized).
在完全竞争市场中,长期均衡发生在 P = MC = 最低 AC 处,同时实现配置效率 (P = MC) 和生产效率 (AC 最小化)。
A monopoly maximises profit at MR = MC, leading to price > MC and output below the socially optimal level, creating a deadweight loss. Price discrimination can transfer consumer surplus to the producer and may increase output.
垄断厂商按 MR = MC 最大化利润,导致价格高于边际成本、产量低于社会最优水平,产生无谓损失。价格歧视可将消费者剩余转移给生产者,并可能增加总产量。
For monopolistic competition and oligopoly, profit max. condition remains MR = MC. Oligopoly models (e.g. kinked demand curve, game theory) explain price rigidity and interdependence.
垄断竞争和寡头垄断的利润最大化条件仍是 MR = MC。寡头模型(如弯折需求曲线、博弈论)解释了价格刚性和相互依赖性。
5. Macroeconomic Indicators: GDP, CPI and Unemployment | 宏观经济指标:GDP、CPI 与失业
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by expenditure: GDP = C + I + G + (X − M). By income: GDP = wages + rent + interest + profit. Real GDP = (Nominal GDP / GDP Deflator) × 100.
国内生产总值 (GDP) 的支出法:GDP = C + I + G + (X − M)。收入法:GDP = 工资 + 租金 + 利息 + 利润。实际 GDP = (名义 GDP / GDP 平减指数) × 100。
GDP Deflator = (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) × 100. Consumer Price Index (CPI) = (Cost of basket in current year / Cost of basket in base year) × 100. Inflation rate = (CPIt − CPIt−1) / CPIt−1 × 100%.
GDP平减指数 = (名义 GDP / 实际 GDP) × 100。消费者物价指数 (CPI) = (当年一篮子成本 / 基年一篮子成本) × 100。通货膨胀率 = (CPIt − CPIt−1) / CPIt−1 × 100%。
Unemployment rate = (Number of unemployed / Labour force) × 100. Okun’s law states a negative relationship between GDP growth and changes in unemployment.
失业率 = (失业人数 / 劳动力) × 100。奥肯定律描述了 GDP 增长与失业率变化之间的负相关关系。
6. Aggregate Demand and the Multiplier | 总需求与乘数
Aggregate Demand: AD = C + I + G + (X − M). Consumption function: C = a + bYd, where a is autonomous consumption, b is MPC.
总需求:AD = C + I + G + (X − M)。消费函数:C = a + bYd,其中 a 为自主消费,b 为边际消费倾向。
Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) = ΔC / ΔYd. MPS = ΔS / ΔYd, MPT = ΔT / ΔY, MPM = ΔM / ΔY. MPC + MPS = 1; including taxes and imports, the leakage rate is MPS + MPT + MPM.
边际消费倾向 (MPC) = ΔC / ΔYd。MPS = ΔS / ΔYd,MPT = ΔT / ΔY,MPM = ΔM / ΔY。MPC + MPS = 1;考虑税收与进口后,漏出率为 MPS + MPT + MPM。
Simple multiplier (k) = 1 / (1 − MPC) = 1 / (MPS + MPT + MPM). Tax multiplier = −MPC / (1 − MPC). The balanced‑budget multiplier equals 1.
简单乘数 (k) = 1 / (1 − MPC) = 1 / (MPS + MPT + MPM)。税收乘数 = −MPC / (1 − MPC)。平衡预算乘数为 1。
7. Money, Inflation and the Quantity Theory | 货币、通货膨胀与货币数量论
The Quantity Theory of Money: MV = PT (or MV = PY). M is money supply, V is velocity, P is price level, T (or Y) is real output. Assuming V and Y constant in the long run, changes in M lead directly to changes in P.
货币数量论:MV = PT (或 MV = PY)。M 为货币供给,V 为流通速度,P 为物价水平,T (或 Y) 为实际产出。假设长期内 V 和 Y 不变,M 的变化直接引起 P 的同向变化。
The Fisher equation: nominal interest rate ≈ real interest rate + expected inflation. This helps explain the relationship between money, inflation and borrowing costs.
费雪方程式:名义利率 ≈ 实际利率 + 预期通货膨胀率。这有助于解释货币、通胀与借贷成本之间的关系。
Deflationary and inflationary gaps can be analysed using the AD‑AS model; an inflationary gap exists when actual GDP > potential GDP, putting upward pressure on the price level.
通货紧缩缺口与通货膨胀缺口可通过 AD‑AS 模型分析;当实际 GDP 大于潜在 GDP 时,存在通胀缺口,物价水平面临上涨压力。
8. International Trade and Exchange Rates | 国际贸易与汇率
Comparative advantage: a country has a comparative advantage in producing a good if its opportunity cost is lower. The terms of trade must lie between the two opportunity cost ratios for mutually beneficial trade.
比较优势:若一国生产某商品的机会成本较低,则其在该商品上具有比较优势。互利的贸易条件必须介于两国的机会成本比率之间。
Terms of trade = (Index of export prices / Index of import prices) × 100. An improvement means a given volume of exports can buy more imports.
贸易条件 = (出口价格指数 / 进口价格指数) × 100。贸易条件改善意味着同等数量的出口能换回更多的进口。
Real exchange rate = nominal exchange rate × (Domestic price level / Foreign price level). The Marshall‑Lerner condition states that a depreciation improves the trade balance if |PEDexports| + |PEDimports| > 1. The J‑curve effect describes a temporary worsening before improvement.
实际汇率 = 名义汇率 × (国内价格水平 / 国外价格水平)。马歇尔‑勒纳条件表明,若进出口需求弹性之和大于 1,本币贬值将改善贸易收支。J 曲线效应描述了先恶化后改善的短暂过程。
9. Economic Development Measures | 经济发展衡量
Human Development Index (HDI) = (Ihealth × Ieducation × Iincome)1/3. Health index uses life expectancy, education index uses mean and expected years of schooling, income index uses log of GNI per capita (PPP$).
人类发展指数 (HDI) = (健康指数 × 教育指数 × 收入指数)1/3。健康指数采用预期寿命,教育指数采用平均与预期受教育年限,收入指数采用人均 GNI (购买力平价) 的对数。
The Gini coefficient = A / (A + B), where A is the area between the Lorenz curve and the line of perfect equality, B the area under the Lorenz curve. It measures income inequality (0 = perfect equality, 1 = perfect inequality).
基尼系数 = A / (A + B),其中 A 为洛伦兹曲线与绝对平等线之间的面积,B 为洛伦兹曲线下方的面积。它衡量收入不平等程度(0 表示绝对平等,1 表示绝对不平等)。
The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) captures overlapping deprivations in health, education and living standards. The Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) exchange rate adjusts GDP comparisons by equalising the cost of a common basket of goods.
多维贫困指数 (MPI) 反映了健康、教育及生活标准方面的重叠剥夺。购买力平价 (PPP
