Production Possibilities Frontier Food (Units) Clothing (units) B, C, amp。 Karen has 3F and 5C. Efficiency in Exchange ? Efficient Allocations ? If James’s and Karen’s MRS are the same at B the allocation is efficient. ?This depends on the shape of their indifference curves. ? 在交換上,符合帕累托最優(yōu)狀態(tài)的條件是:任何兩種商品之間的邊際替代率對(duì)任何兩個(gè)消費(fèi)者都相等 交換的帕累托最優(yōu)條件 ? MRSAXY=MRSBXY ? 說(shuō)明例子:初始配置 A的 MRS為 3, B的 MRS為 5,表明: ?A: 1X交換 3Y ?B: 1X交換 5Y ?那么 A:拿出 1X換 4Y, B:用 4Y換 1X都改善了福利 ?只要邊際替代率不等,總存在帕累托改進(jìn)的余地 A A: UJ1 = UK1, but the MRS is not equal. All binations in the shaded area are preferred to A.

Efficient Allocations ? 向陰影區(qū)域外的任何移動(dòng)將使一個(gè)人的處境更壞 (closer to their origin). ? B 是一個(gè)相互獲利的交易 —— higher indifference curve for each person. ? 交易是有利的,但還不是有效率的 . ? 當(dāng)無(wú)差異曲線相切時(shí),MRS相等,這時(shí)配置時(shí)有效率的 . Efficiency in Exchange ? The Contract Curve ? To find all possible efficient allocations of food and clothing between Karen and James, we would look for all points of tangency between each of their indifference curves. ? 把所有無(wú)差異曲線的切點(diǎn)連接起來(lái)的線叫做 契約曲線 ,又叫 效率線 。屬于規(guī)范經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué) ? 判斷經(jīng)濟(jì)效率的標(biāo)準(zhǔn) —— 帕累托標(biāo)準(zhǔn) ? 任意改變都不可能使至少一個(gè)人的狀況變好而又不使任何人的狀況變壞,則稱(chēng)這種資源配置狀態(tài)為 帕累托最優(yōu)狀態(tài) 。 第 8章 一般均衡與經(jīng)濟(jì)效率 General Equilibrium and Economic Efficiency 前面的分析屬局部均衡分析,現(xiàn)在則要轉(zhuǎn)到一般均衡分析上來(lái) Topics to be Discussed ?
