30、1分，共10分） 二、选择题（每题3分，共45分） bcdba acacb dbccd三、简答题（共45分） 1、(1) 封闭条件下，本国可以用一半的生产一单位布的劳动时间生产一单位黄油。这表示，在封闭条件下，本国黄油与布的相对价格是1/2，外国黄油与布的相对价格是2。（2分）（2）根据上面的相对价格，表明本国生产黄油有比较优势，外国的比较优势是生产布。（2分）（3）如果两国发生国际贸易，国际比价应该落在封闭条件下本国和外国国内相对价格之间。（2分）（4）如果世界市场价格为1，本国通过出口黄油，进口布，用一单位黄油可以换得1单位布，比在本国用两单位黄油换一单位布多获得一单位黄油的利益。（2分）

31、 2、出口偏向型增长对一国的福利产生两种相反的作用，因为生产的多，该国可获得好处，但由于出口价格下降，也遭受损失，如果贸易恶化的负向作用超过了产量增加的正向作用，该国就发生了贫困化增长。（4分）以下情况下最有可能发生贫困化增长：（1）一国的经济增长偏向于它的出口部门（1分）（2）该国相对于世界市场而言是个大国（1分）（3）外国对本国出口产品的需求严重缺乏价格弹性（1分）（4）本国严重依赖于国际贸易（1分） 3、汇率的粘性价格货币分析法简称为超调模型，它认为商品市场与资产市场的调整速度是不同的（2分），商品市场上的价格水平具有粘性，购买力平价短期内不成立（1分），经济存在由短期平衡向长期平衡调整
