AP微观经济梳理.docx

济宁孔子国际学校AP 微观经济学知识点梳理 I. Basic Economic Concepts 经济学基础概念 (8–14%) 选择A. Scarcity, choice and opportunity cost 稀缺性（概念），选择（概念），机会成本（计算）a. Scarcity(Unlimited want vs. Limited resources )→Make choices→ Economicsb. Opportunity cost (The best choice you give up) include explicit and implicit cost, the slope公式：Opportunity Cost of doing A=loss in B / gain in Ac. Factors of productions are resources.B. Production possibilities curve 生产可能性边界曲线（识图，计算）横纵坐标轴分别是两种产品的产量，斜率是机会成本。

a. 曲线弯: law of increasing opportunity cost（生产鞋和电脑的资源不可相互替代）；because the resources are not perfectly adaptable.b. 直的: 生产两种物品的资源可完全替代，也就是说资源完全可以通用，机会成本恒定C. Comparative advantage, absolute advantage, specialization and trade 比较优势（计算），绝对优势（计算），专业化（概念），贸易（概念）a. 绝对优势：more productive. 生产一单位less time or less input或者单位time或input生产更多）如果给的是时间，则不用换算b. 比较优势：lower opportunity cost. xxx/hour 别忘了是与本国生产另一产品的opportunity cost 相比较c. Specialization and trade can increase productivity and output. Economic growth could be achieved by: Increase in the quantity of resources Increase in the quality of existing resources Technological advancementsd. Trade can be good to both countries even if one country has the absolute advantage in all products. Two countries trade only when they have comparative advantage on different good. After trading, countries gain more production at lower cost.D.   Economic systems, Property rights and the role of incentives计划经济和市场经济（概念），产权（概念），激励的作用（概念）Command economy:公平equitable，government determines，but sophisticated to allocate properly, lack of incentives for innovation; Free/capitalism economy: private ownership, property rights, free, incentives, competition,供求决定价格，市场决定生产多少消费多少。

如果是mixed economy，则market和government共同决定F.   Marginal analysis   边际思维（概念）MB>MC, 做这件事Marginal=additionalII.   The Nature and Functions of Product Markets 产品市场的特点和功能 (55–70%) A. Supply and demand 供给和需求 (15–20%)1.   Market equilibrium 市场均衡 （先Q后P）Equilibrium quantity 由 Qs 和Qd决定：Qs=QdD 的变动才会引起P的变动2.   Determinants of supply and demand 供给和需求的影响因素影响需求                                                           影响供给TasteTax /SubsidyCost of inputIncomeTechnologyPrice of substitute good Price of complement goodTaxExpectation of pricecost of inputstechnology and productivitySubsidy/taxExpectation of pricePrice of other goods切记：Price变动导致沿着曲线的移动，而不是曲线本身的移动；上表里的因素都是导致曲线本身移动的。

S,D同向移动：左（Q减少，P不定）；右（Q增加，P不定）S,D反向移动：内（P增加，Q不定）；外（P减少，Q不定）3. Price control Price ceiling: Creates shortageprice floor：最低工资是经典例子Creates surplus increase deadweight lossWelfare Analysis=consumer surplus+ producer surplusThe market is efficient only when MB=MC, or total welfare is maximized.4. Elasticity弹性a. Price elasticity of demandEd=(%change in quantity demanded of good x)/(%change in the price of good X)b. Price elasticity of supply一定要分清问的是关于supply还是demand需求和供给价格弹性算绝对值，不关心正负号；弹性为无穷时，叫Perfectly Elastic完全弹性，弹性大于1时，叫Relatively Elastic，弹性等于1时，叫Unit elastic，弹性小于1时，叫relatively inelastic，弹性等于0时，perfectly inelastic完全刚性。

应用：弹性为elastic时，P降低，Total Revenue会增加，因为Q增加的程度大于P降低的程度；为inelastic时，P降低，Total Revenue会减少，因为Q增加的程度小于P降低的程度影响价格弹性的因素：奢侈品的弹性大于1，必需品的弹性小于1；时间长弹性大于1；替代品多弹性大于1；占收入比重大弹性大于1c. Income elasticity of demandEI=(%change in quantity demanded of good X)/(%change in income) 需求收入弹性正号表示物品是normal goods，负号表示inferior goodsd. Cross-price elasticity of demandEx,y=(%change in quantity demand of good X)/(%change in price good Y)交叉需求弹性正号表示A和B为substitution，负号表示A和B为complementary5. Consumer surplus, producer surplus and market efficiency剩余和市场效率消费者剩余=支付意愿–市场价格；生产者剩余=市场价格–生产成本Market efficiency： MB=MC, Total Surplus最大Supply do the same（longer time, more elastic）6. Tax incidence and deadweight loss税收负担和无谓损失1.monopolyPerfectly competitive marketPer-unit subsidy/taxMC&ATC both changeOnly ATC changeLump-sum subsidy/taxNothing changeNothing change2.Tax 永远是向sellers 收的，只是sellers根据elasticity of demand and supply 的不同来向consumer收钱。

3.Tax or subsidy/negative, positive externality会造成deadweight loss, but shift of supply or demand curve 不会，因为它们形成了新的均衡点4.收税之后，suppliers & demanders charge different money.(one below, one above)5.在画deadweight loss的时候，尖点永远是optimal pointTrade BarriersImport when world price is lower. Export when world price is higher.Create deadweight lossTR of government=quantity imported/exported x the tariffC. Theory of consumer choice 消费者选择理论 (5–10%) 可能大题1. Total utility and marginal utility 总效用和边际效用Utility is the satisfaction or happinesslaw of diminishing marginal utility 2. Utility maximization: equalizing marginal utility per dollar边际效用之比等于价格之比MU1/MU2 =P1/P2，在预算允许的条件下。

3. Income and substitution effects收入效应，替代效应Income effect：normal: 都多买或少买substitution effect：normal: 一个多买一个少买inferior: income decrease 多。
