Top Professional @ Learning Made Easy: Economics Review Material Summary
This document contains exclusive review materials from "Top Professional" for internal students, covering key microeconomics concepts and their applications, including market structures, consumer behavior, and government intervention.
I. Core Microeconomic Concepts
-
Taxation:
- Who Pays Tax: Examines the incidence of taxes, determining how the burden is shared between consumers and producers.
- Impact of Taxes: Analyzes how taxes affect market prices, quantities, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue. The relationship between tax impact and elasticity is crucial.
- Tax Revenue & Deadweight Loss: Discusses the calculation of government revenue and deadweight loss, noting that deadweight loss is positively related to the size of the tax and elasticity.
-
Price Controls:
- Price Floor:
- Definition: A minimum price set above the market clearing price.
- Impact: Leads to a surplus of the good.
- Price Ceiling: (Mentioned in the context of Monopoly analysis)
- Subsidies: Analyzes their impact on consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus.
- General Impact: Examines the effects of price controls on surplus.
- Price Floor:
-
Consumer Behavior:
- Utility Maximization: Consumers aim to maximize utility by equating the marginal benefit per dollar spent across goods: $MB_x / P_x = MB_y / P_y$.
- Budget Constraints: Consumers have limited budgets (e.g., Jenny's $50).
-
Demand and Supply:
- Demand Curve Shifts: Caused by factors other than the price of the good itself, such as changes in consumer wealth, the price of related goods (substitutes/complements), or consumer preferences (e.g., health announcements).
- Supply Curve Shifts: Caused by changes in input prices (e.g., cost of cocoa beans), technology, or the number of firms in the market. A decrease in marginal cost shifts the supply curve to the right.
- Movement Along vs. Shift: A change in the price of the good itself causes a movement along the curve, while other factors cause the entire curve to shift.
-
Elasticity:
- Price Elasticity of Demand: Measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price. More elastic demand means consumers react more strongly to price changes.
- Cross-Price Elasticity: Measures the responsiveness of the demand for one good to a change in the price of another good.
- Substitutes: Positive cross-price elasticity (e.g., sausages and hamburgers).
- Complements: Negative cross-price elasticity.
- Relationship with Tax: Greater elasticity of demand leads to smaller tax revenue and larger deadweight loss. Conversely, less elastic demand leads to higher tax revenue and smaller deadweight loss.
-
Market Structures:
- Perfect Competition:
- Characteristics: Many identical firms, price takers.
- Short-Run: Firms can earn positive, negative, or zero economic profit.
- Long-Run: Firms earn zero economic profit as new firms enter or exit the market.
- Monopoly:
- Characteristics: Single seller, significant market power, barriers to entry (e.g., patents, high start-up costs).
- Market Power: Ability to set price above marginal cost.
- Profit Maximization: Produce where $MC = MR$. Calculating Marginal Revenue (MR) is crucial, often requiring calculation of Total Revenue (TR) first.
- Natural Monopoly: Characterized by decreasing Average Total Cost (ATC) over the relevant range of output, making it most efficient for one firm to serve the market.
- Impact: Leads to deadweight loss (DWL) compared to competitive markets. Analysis with price ceilings is a complex topic.
- Perfect Competition:
-
Costs and Production:
- Economic Scale (Economies of Scale): Refers to the relationship between input and output.
- Increasing Returns to Scale: Average Total Cost (ATC) decreases as output increases.
- Decreasing Returns to Scale: ATC increases as output increases.
- Constant Returns to Scale: ATC remains constant.
- Opportunity Cost: Must always be considered in economic decision-making.
- Economic Scale (Economies of Scale): Refers to the relationship between input and output.
-
Surpluses:
- Consumer Surplus (CS): The difference between what consumers are willing to pay and what they actually pay. Represented by the area below the demand curve and above the price.
- Producer Surplus (PS): The difference between the price producers receive and their minimum willingness to sell. Represented by the area above the supply curve and below the price.
- Total Surplus (TS): The sum of Consumer Surplus and Producer Surplus ($TS = CS + PS$). Represents the total welfare in the market.
- Calculation: Typically calculated as the area of a triangle on a supply and demand graph.
II. Exam Strategy and Tips
- Question Weighting: Multiple-choice questions are increasing in weight (around 45-50 points) and difficulty, making them essential for a good score.
- Short Answer Questions: Decreasing in number and weight, but still important for differentiating performance. Difficulty remains similar.
- Answering Strategy:
- Always define key terms in short answer questions.
- Use graphs whenever possible, ensuring all labels and points are clearly marked.
- Use symbols (like arrows) to indicate increases/decreases and logical connections (e.g., "because," "therefore").
- Logical correctness and completeness are key to scoring.
III. Examples and Applications
- Tax on Bread: A per-unit tax on bread increases the price consumers pay and decreases the price suppliers receive.
- Binding Price Floor: Results in a price above the market clearing price and creates a surplus.
- Consumer Choice: Jenny's decision on buying beans and shoes based on her budget and prices. Sam's decision on apples and biscuits based on marginal benefits and prices.
- Demand Shift Example: News that hot chocolate cures acne increases demand, shifting the curve right, leading to higher equilibrium price and quantity.
- Supply Shift Example: A decrease in the marginal cost of producing calculators shifts the supply curve to the right.
- Ice Cream Market Example:
- Restricting the number of ice cream shops shifts the industry supply curve left, increasing price and profit for remaining firms.
- Licence fees act as a lump-sum tax, reducing profits but not affecting output decisions ($MC=MR$). The optimal fee for the council is the economic profit of the firms.
- Car Tax Example (Victoria): Decreasing a per-unit tax on cars increases quantity sold, decreases consumer price, and increases producer price. This also decreases deadweight loss. The impact on government revenue depends on the elasticity of demand; with elastic demand, a tax reduction is more likely to increase government revenue.
- Monopoly Production: A monopoly firm with constant marginal cost of $4 will produce where $MR=MC$. If MR is calculated correctly from TR, this leads to a specific output level.
- Hot Chocolate Market Scenarios:
- Substitute Price Fall (Coffee): Decreases demand for hot chocolate (leftward shift), lowering equilibrium price and quantity.
- Input Price Rise (Cocoa Beans): Decreases supply of hot chocolate (leftward shift), raising equilibrium price and lowering quantity.
- Positive Health News: Increases demand for hot chocolate (rightward shift), raising equilibrium price and quantity.

The news represents an increased benefit of hot chocolate. Thus, the news increases the demand for hot chocolate. Thus, the demand curve will shift and the direction of the shift is to the right. The forces of supply and demand will ensure the market reach a new equilibrium. The result is an increase in equilibrium price and an increase in equilibrium quantity, as shown in the graph Î 简答模板二: Question 2 Suppose there are 100 ice-cream shops operating in Canberra. Each shop has the usual U- shaped average-total-cost curve. The market demand curve for ice-cream slopes downwards and the market for ice-cream is in long run competitive equilibrium. a. Draw the current equilibrium, using graphs for the entire market and for an individual ice-cream shop. b. Now the city decides to restrict the number of ice-cream shops. The council passes a law that reduces the number of shops to only 80. What effect will this action have on the market and on an individual shop that is still operating? Use graphs to illustrate your answer. c. Suppose that the council decides to charge the 80 ice-cream shops a licence fee. How will this affect the number of ice-creams sold by an individual shop and the shop's profit? The council wants to raise as much revenue as possible and also wants to ensure that the 80 ice-cream shops remain in the city. At what level should the council set the lincence fee? Show the answer on your graph.

This is because while the tax has been reduced, the quantity sold in the market has increased. d) The change in deadweight loss is negative, as it decreases by C+ E + G. the decrease in the deadweight loss because deadweight loss is positively related with the size of the tax. As tax declines, deadweight loss declines. e) The demand for cars in Victoria is probably fairly elastic since people could travel to nearby states to buy cars. (other explanations that are consistent with elastic demand are ok too). With elastic demand, car buyers will respond strongly to changes in prices. As illustrated in the graph, a more elastic demand curve, a greater increase in the quantity sold due to the tax and the smaller quantity sold associated with the initial tax. The greater the increase in the sellers supply and increase in the quantity sold due to the reduction in the tax will be, the bigger E will be, and smaller (B+F)). Thus, with this additional information, the decrease in the tax is more likely to increase government revenue. 答题总结:1. 一定要回答简答题中的定义;2. 尽量画图并且记得标上所有的符号和点;3.

Answer: a) The price of coffee, a substitute for hot chocolate, falls. 第一步先回答答案 The demand for a good is affected by changes in the prices of its related goods. Because coffee is a substitute for hot chocolate, the price of coffee decreases will decrease the demand for hot chocolate (or will lead to a decrease in demand for hot chocolate). Thus, the demand curve shifts to the left. At the old price, there will an excess of supply (supply surplus). Sellers respond by reducing the price. As the price reduces, it will lead to a reduction in the quantity supplied. At the same time, the change in the price will lead to an increase in the quantity demanded.

4. 税收影响分析(税负分担,政府收入,DWL等)
考点定位: 微观政策分析,有时结合图形与面积计算[1]Source: 8069期中押题.pdfA + B + D+ F+H A+B+C+D C + E+G + E + F + G + H c) The change in government revenue is -(B + F)+E, which could be positive or negative. This is because while the tax has been reduced, the quantity sold in the market has increased. d) The change in deadweight loss is negative, as it decreases by C+ E + G. the decrease in the deadweight loss because deadweight loss is positively related with the size of the tax. As tax declines, deadweight loss declines. e) The demand for cars in Victoria is probably fairly elastic since people could travel to nearby states to buy cars. (other explanations that are consistent with elastic demand are ok too). With elastic demand, car buyers will respond strongly to changes in prices. As illustrated in the graph, a more elastic demand curve, a greater increase in the quantity sold due to the tax and the smaller quantity sold associated with the initial tax. The greater the increase in the sellers supply and increase in the quantity sold due to the reduction in the tax will be, the bigger E will be, and smaller (B+F)). Thus, with this additional information, the decrease in the tax is more likely to increase government revenue. 答题总结:1. 一定要回答简答题中的定义;2. 尽量画图并且记得标上所有的符号和点;3.[7]Source: 8069期中押题.pdfTop Professional @ Learning Made Easy Top Professional 独家复习资料,仅限内部学员学习使用,盗版必究 习题精讲 知识点覆盖: 1.

9. 热点政策及市场变化(如热巧克力市场例题、冰淇淋市场)
考点定位: 结合当前事件、模拟政策冲击市场均衡分析[12]Source: 8069期中押题.pdf简答模板一: Question 2 Suppose we are analysing the market for hot chocolate. Explain the effect each of the following situations will have on either the demand or supply of hot chocolate. Explain also what the effect will be on equilibrium price and quantity. Please give your (short) answers using both words and supply-and-demand diagrams. a) Suppose the price of coffee, a substitute for hot chocolate, falls. b) The price of cocoa beans, an ingredient for making hot chocolate, increases. c) The Health Department of Australia announces that hot chocolate cures acne. Answer: a) The price of coffee, a substitute for hot chocolate, falls. 第一步先回答答案 The demand for a good is affected by changes in the prices of its related goods. Because coffee is a substitute for hot chocolate, the price of coffee decreases will decrease the demand for hot chocolate (or will lead to a decrease in demand for hot chocolate). Thus, the demand curve shifts to the left. At the old price, there will an excess of supply (supply surplus). Sellers respond by reducing the price. As the price reduces, it will lead to a reduction in the quantity supplied. At the same time, the change in the price will lead to an increase in the quantity demanded. These changes represent movements along the supply curve and the new demand curve, and they move the market towards a new equilibrium.[20]Source: 8069期中押题.pdfTop Professional 独家复习资料,仅限内部学员学习使用,盗版必究 c) The Health Department of Australia announces that hot chocolate cures acne. The news represents an increased benefit of hot chocolate. Thus, the news increases the demand for hot chocolate. Thus, the demand curve will shift and the direction of the shift is to the right. The forces of supply and demand will ensure the market reach a new equilibrium. The result is an increase in equilibrium price and an increase in equilibrium quantity, as shown in the graph Î 简答模板二: Question 2 Suppose there are 100 ice-cream shops operating in Canberra. Each shop has the usual U- shaped average-total-cost curve. The market demand curve for ice-cream slopes downwards and the market for ice-cream is in long run competitive equilibrium. a. Draw the current equilibrium, using graphs for the entire market and for an individual ice-cream shop. b. Now the city decides to restrict the number of ice-cream shops. The council passes a law that reduces the number of shops to only 80. What effect will this action have on the market and on an individual shop that is still operating? Use graphs to illustrate your answer. c. Suppose that the council decides to charge the 80 ice-cream shops a licence fee. How will this affect the number of ice-creams sold by an individual shop and the shop's profit? The council wants to raise as much revenue as possible and also wants to ensure that the 80 ice-cream shops remain in the city. At what level should the council set the lincence fee? Show the answer on your graph.
