(10%)請簡要回答以下問題。 (a) (5%) 經濟學關於效率性(efficiency) 的推論過程中, 最重要的基礎是對於「剩餘」 (surplus) 的 性質有哪些認定? (許多對於經濟學的反對意見, 可能都來自於對這些認定有不同的看法 。) (b) (5%) 我國現行汽車燃料費是依照車輛種類和排氣量大小採「隨車徵收」制, 民間團 體如消基 會則大力鼓吹應改採「隨油徵收」制,但多年來始終無法達成「隨油徵收」的目標。請問 , 「隨車 徵收」和「隨油徵收」這兩種收費方法對汽油使用量和二氧化碳排放量的影響有何不同? 為什 麼? 2. (10%)為了振興電影產業,文化部擬對每張300元的電影票開徵5%(即15元)的電影稅來作 為電影 基金, 由文化部統籌補助電影業者的電影基金。假設電影的成本均為固定成本, 其供給線 為一水平 線。 (a) (2%) 請在供需圖上畫出電影的供給線, 其價格彈性為何?
