Assume the United States in an importer of cameras and there are no trade
restrictions. U.S. consumers buy 2 million cameras per year, of which 0.6
million are produced domestically and 1.4 million are imported.
(a) (5分)
Suppose that a technological advance among Japanese Camera manufacturers causes
the world price of cameras to fall by $15. Draw a graph to show how this change
affects the welfare of U.S. consumers and U.S. producers and how it affecs
total surplus in the United States.
(b) (5分)
After the fall in price, U.S. consumers buy 2.5 million cameras, of which 0.4
million are produced domestically and 2.1 million are imported. Calculate the
change in consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus from the price
reduction.
(c) (5分)
If the government responded by putting a $15 tariff on imported cameras, what
would this do? Calculate the revenue that would be raised and the deadweight
loss. Would it be a good policy from the standpoint of U.S. welfare? Who might
support this policy?

小霞的预期损失则为8万元。
(a) (3分)
若防盗设备的售价为10万元, 该社区是否会有防盗设备? 谁买的?
(b) (3分)
防盗设备售价在几万元以下时, 该社区会有防盗设备? 谁买的?
(c) (4分)
从社会效率的角度来看, 防盗设备的价格在几万元以下时, 该社区就应有防盗设备?
假设防盗设备的价格为14万元, 应该如何达到社会有效率的情况。
4. (15分)
东风市有一条名为「雄狮大道」的快速道路, 行驶在上面的好处视用路人数而定,
二者关系如下:

B为每个用路人所得到的好处。
(a) (3分)
请问「雄狮大道」属於「公共财」(public goods)、「私有财」(private goods),
还是「共有资源」(common resources)? 为什麽?
(b) (4分)
如果不需缴交过路费, 将有多少人行驶「雄狮大道」? 此时「雄狮大道」带来的
社会总效益为多少?
(c) (4分)
社会最适 (socially optimal) 的用路人数为多少? 此时「雄狮大道」带来的
社会总效益为多少?(提示: 社会最适人数为介於18与22之间的整数。)
(d) (4分)
假设东风市对用路人收取过路费T 元, 请问T值为何时,
