一、限制价格
A major problem with maximum prices is likely to be the
emergence of black markets,where customers,unable to buy
enough in legal markets,may well be prepared to pay very
high prices.
Another problem is that the maximum prices reduce the
quantity produced of an already scarce commodity.
To minimize these types of problem the government may
attempt to reduce the shortage by encouraging supply,by
drawing on stores,by direct government production,or by
giving subsidies or tax relief to firms,Alternatively,it may
attempt to reduce demand,by the production of more
alternative goods or by controlling people’s incomes.
一、限制价格
限制价格的利弊
有利,限制价格有利于社会平等的实现,有利于社
会的安定。
不利,第一,价格水平低不利于刺激生产,从而会
使产品长期存在短缺现象。第二,价格水平低不利
于抑制需求,从而会在资源短缺的同时又造成严重
的浪费。第三,限制价格之下所实行的配给,会引
起社会风尚败坏,产生寻求活动、黑市和寻租。
Minimum price A price floor set by the
government or some other agency,The price is
not allowed to fall below this level (although it
is allowed to rise above it).
Black markets Where people ignore the
government’s price and/or quantity controls and
sell illegally at whatever price equates illegal
demand and supply.

供给过剩
The government sets minimum prices to prevent
them from falling below a certain level,It may
do this for various reasons:
? To protect producers’ incomes.
? To create a surplus,e.g,grains,Particular in
periods of glut,which can be stored in
preparation for possible future shortages.
? In the case of wages (the price of labor),
minimum wage legislations can be used to
prevent workers’ wage rates from falling below
a certain level.
二、支持价格
二、支持价格
The government can use various methods to deal
with the surpluses associated with minimum prices.
l The government could buy the surplus and store
it,destroy it or sell it abroad in another markets.
l Supply could be artificially lowered by
restricting producers to particular quotas.
l Demand could be raised by advertising,by
finding alternative uses for the goods,or by
reducing consumption of substitute goods (e.g,by
imposing taxes or quotas on substitutes,such as
imports).
二、支持价格
支持价格的作用可以用农产品支持价格为例来说
明:许多经济和自然条件较好的国家,由于农产
品过剩,为了克服农业危机,往往采取农产品支
持价格政策,以调动农民生产积极性,稳定农业
生产。
?缓冲库存法
?稳定基金法
二、支持价格
作用,
?稳定生产, 减缓经济危机的冲击
?通过对不同产业产品的不同的支持价格, 可以调
节产业结构, 使之适应市场变动
?实行对农产品生产的支持价格政策, 可以扩大农
业投资, 促进农业劳动生产率的提高 。
弊端,
支持价格会使财政支出增加, 政府背上沉重的包
袱, 降低政府对宏观经济的调节作用 。
