As a result, revenue falls from $300 to $220. 小麦市场上供给增加 An Increase in Supply in the Market for Wheat $3 小麦的数量 0 100 Quantity of Wheat Price of Wheat 1. 当需求缺乏弹性时，供给增加 When demand is inelastic, an increase in supply... 需求 Demand S1 S2 2 110 2. …引起价 格的大幅度 下降 Leads to a large fall in price... 计算弹性 Compute Elasticity -0.24 0.4 -0.095 (3.00 2.00)/2 3.00-2.00 (100 110)/2 100-110 ED = = ≈ + + 计算弹性 Compute Elasticity -0.24 0.4 -0.095 (3.00 2.00)/2 3.00-2.00 (100 110)/2 100-110 ED = = ≈ + + 需求是缺乏弹性的 Demand is inelastic 政策含义 Policy Implications 随着农业的技术（或制度）进步，农 产品供给增加和农民数量减少具有某 种必然性 1948年美国有17％人口为农民， 1993年仅有2％。但农业产量为原 来的2倍多。 1952年中国84%劳动力在农业， 1999年为50%。农业产量增加了3 倍

10 总结 Summary 需求价格弹性衡量了需求量对价格变化作出反应的 程度。 Price elasticity of demand measures how much the quantity demanded responds to changes in the price. 如果需求曲线富于弹性，价格上升会导致总收益下 降。 If a demand curve is elastic, total revenue falls when the price rises. 如果需求曲线缺乏弹性，价格上升会导致总收益上 升。 If it is inelastic, total revenue rises as the price rises. 总结 Summary 供给价格弹性衡量了供给量对价格变化作出 反应的程度。 The price elasticity of supply measures how much the quantity supplied responds to changes in the price. 在大多数市场上，供给在长期比在短期更富 于弹性 。 In most markets, supply is more elastic in the long run than in the short run
