一、主办方 - LSESU Economics Society

伦敦政治经济学院经济学学会 (LSE Economics Society) 是 LSE 规模最大、最具影响力的学术社团之一,拥有超过 800名活跃会员。作为唯一由 LSE 经济学系官方支持的学会,它不仅是学生进入顶尖学术网络的重要平台,更代表着 LSE在经济学领域的学术权威与学术传承。

学会长期致力于推动前沿研究与学术交流,其旗舰刊物《Rationale》是由学生主导、同行评审的学术期刊,研究议题涵盖宏观经济、发展经济、金融市场与行为经济学等多个领域,部分成果甚至获得外部学界的引用和认可,充分展现了学生科研的深度与价值。

同时,学会以高规格学术活动与国际化交流著称。"Sen Club" 系列研讨会曾邀请包括 Amartya Sen、Eric Maskin、Oliver Hart 在内的多位诺贝尔经济学奖得主亲临演讲;年度 "LSE Economics Symposium" 更汇聚全球学者与学生,共同探讨当今最具影响力的经济议题,已成为学界与业界对话的重要平台。LSE 经济学会长期致力于为本科生及优秀高中生打造高水平的经济学学术挑战,其举办的一系列经济学竞赛在全球本科生中享有盛誉。

为了进一步拓展国际影响力,培养具备经济学思维与全球视野的青年人才,学会联合 LSE 教授团队与阿思丹国际竞赛平台合作共同推出权威性的全球赛事——LSESU Economics Society Economics Challenge (LSE 经济学挑战)。赛事由 LSE 经济学学会严格命题与学术审核,融合高中与大学层次的经济学内容,旨在为全球优秀高中生提供与 LSE学术体系接轨的机会,激发他们的研究热情与批判思维,成为迈向世界顶尖学术殿堂的重要舞台。

三、LSE经济学挑战样题

1、宏观经济学 Macroeconomics

① If the consumer price index was 75 in the base year  and 130 in the following year, then the inflation rate was

a.57%      b.58%      c.73%      d.42%

Explanation:

Inflation rate = percentage change of CPI = ((130/75)-1)x 100%

② Assume the MPC = 0.75 and considering only the multiplier effect, if government taxation increases by $60 billion, then national income will

a.Decrease 45 billion.      b.Decrease 240 billion.

c.Increase 240 billion.      d.Decrease 180 billion.

Explanation:

multiplier = 1/(1-MPC) = 1/ (1-0.75) =4.

Potential change in national change income = multiplier x tax change x MPC = 4x60x0.75=180

2、微观经济学 Microeconomics

① Ms. Jane resigned from her job with a $60,000 annual salary to open a coffee shop in her apartment. Her coffee shop’s annual revenue is $80,000, and her costs for coffee beans, facility maintenance, water, and electricity amount to $30,000 per year. Should Ms. Jane be satisfied with her coffee shop’s annual profit?

a.Yes, because her accounting profit is $50,000

b.Yes, because her economic profit is $50,000

c.No, because her economic loss is $20,000

d.No, because her economic loss is $10,000

Explanation:

Economic profit = Accounting profit – Implicit cost = $80,000 - $30,000 - $60,000 = -$10,000.

②Dawn, Inc. produces and sells notebook in a perfectly competitive market at the price of $3 per unit and hires all the workers it needs at the wage rate of $23. Assume worker is the only variable input, and the firm’s production schedule is provided in table.

Number of workers Quantity of Notebook
0 0
1 10
2 21
3 28
4 33

Determine the profit-maximizing number of workers the firm should hire.

a.1      b.2      c.3      d.4

Explanation:

The firm maximizes profit where the value of the additional worker’s contribution (Marginal revenue) is just equal to orgreater than the wage(Marginal cost). Hiring a third worker would add only $21 of revenue while costing $23, leading to a loss. Thus, the profit-maximizing number of workers is 2.

3、定量基础 Quantitative Foundations

① The mean of 4, 6, 24, 14, 2 is

a.4      b.6      c.8      d.10

Explanation:

Mean equals to average, (4+6+24+14+2)/5=10

② The mean of 4 number is 30. The mean of the smallest 3 of them is 20. If the range of the data is 42, what isthe mean of the largest 3?

a.34      b.36      c.42      d.48

Explanation:

The sum of all 4 numbers is 4×30=120.The sum of the smallest 3 is 3×20=60.So, the largest number is 120–60=60.Given the range is 42, the smallest number is 60–42=18.Thus, the two middle numbers must sum to 120–(18+60)=42.

The largest 3 numbers therefore sum to 42+60=102, giving a mean of 102÷3=34
