國際經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易專業(yè)畢業(yè)論文外文翻譯--絕對優(yōu)勢和比較優(yōu)勢介紹

1、<p><b>　　外文資料翻譯譯文</b></p><p>　　絕對優(yōu)勢和比較優(yōu)勢介紹</p><p>　　根據(jù)十九世紀(jì)英國經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家大衛(wèi)李嘉圖引進(jìn)的國際貿(mào)易的傳統(tǒng)模式來解釋這個(gè)模式，并且從貿(mào)易的比較優(yōu)勢中得出，它假定一個(gè)完全競爭和一個(gè)勞動(dòng)生產(chǎn)單因素，不同的國家之間每輸出單位對不斷需求的勞動(dòng)力是不同的。在李嘉圖模型中的貿(mào)易基礎(chǔ)是國家之間的技術(shù)差異。因此，有兩

2、種不同的方法來描述技術(shù)差異：第一種方法，叫做絕對優(yōu)勢，是大多數(shù)人理解科學(xué)技術(shù)不同的方法。第二種方法，叫做比較優(yōu)勢，是一個(gè)更為困難的概念。</p><p>　　絕對優(yōu)勢理論又稱絕對成本說（Theory of Absolute Cost）、地域分工說（Theory of Territorial Division of Labor）。該理論將一國內(nèi)部不同職業(yè)之間、不同工種之間的分工原則推演到各國之間的分工，從而形成其國

3、際分工理論。絕對優(yōu)勢理論是最早的主張自由貿(mào)易的理論，由英國古典經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)派主要代表人物亞當(dāng)·斯密創(chuàng)立。</p><p>　　絕對優(yōu)勢的主要內(nèi)容：</p><p>　　(1)分工可以提高勞動(dòng)生產(chǎn)率，增加國民財(cái)富。斯密認(rèn)為 ，交換是出于利己心并為達(dá)到利己目的而進(jìn)行的活動(dòng)，是人類的一種天然傾向。</p><p>　　(2)分工的原則是成本的絕對優(yōu)勢或絕對利益。斯密進(jìn)

4、而分析到，分工既然可以極大地提高勞動(dòng)生產(chǎn)率，那么每個(gè)人專門從事他最有優(yōu)勢的產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn)，然后彼此交換，則對每個(gè)人都是有利的。即分工的原則是成本的絕對優(yōu)勢或絕對利益。</p><p>　　(3)國際分工是各種形式分工中的最高階段，在國際分工基礎(chǔ)上開展國際貿(mào)易，對各國都會(huì)產(chǎn)生良好效果。斯密由家庭推及國家，論證了國際分工和國際貿(mào)易的必要性。他認(rèn)為，適用于一國內(nèi)部不同個(gè)人或家庭之間的分工原則，也適用于各國之間。國際分工是各

5、種形式分工中的最高階段。</p><p>　　(4)國際分工的基礎(chǔ)是有利的自然稟賦或后天的有利條件。斯密認(rèn)為，有利的生產(chǎn)條件來源于有利的自然稟賦或后天的有利條件。自然稟賦和后天的條件因國家而不同，這就為國際分工提供了基礎(chǔ)。</p><p>　　絕對優(yōu)勢是經(jīng)濟(jì)表現(xiàn)的最簡單的方式。它是對于其他國家的資源來說，能夠以較低的成本來生產(chǎn)出一個(gè)產(chǎn)品。對于一個(gè)國家出口產(chǎn)品來說，絕對優(yōu)勢既不是必要的也不是

6、充分的條件。換言之，一個(gè)國家對另一個(gè)國家在經(jīng)濟(jì)上具有絕對優(yōu)勢，是指生產(chǎn)一件特定商品，價(jià)格比其他國家生產(chǎn)得更便宜，或者是利用同樣數(shù)量的資源比其他國家生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)品數(shù)量更多。事實(shí)上，絕對優(yōu)勢的出現(xiàn)，會(huì)產(chǎn)生多種產(chǎn)品被考慮的現(xiàn)象。例如，當(dāng)生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)品X時(shí)，如果A國比B國有經(jīng)濟(jì)優(yōu)勢，在生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)品Y時(shí)，A國對B國也有經(jīng)濟(jì)優(yōu)勢，那么A國在生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)品X和生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)品Y時(shí)，對B國都有絕對優(yōu)勢。</p><p>　　事實(shí)上，如果一個(gè)國家在利用同樣數(shù)量

7、的資源生產(chǎn)出更多的產(chǎn)品，或者是生產(chǎn)同樣數(shù)量的產(chǎn)品耗費(fèi)更少的資源，那么這個(gè)國家就對它的貿(mào)易伙伴具有絕對優(yōu)勢。例如，贊比亞在生產(chǎn)銅制品方面比許多國家都有絕對優(yōu)勢，因?yàn)樗你~礦石和鋁土礦儲量相對較大。因此，在商品生產(chǎn)上，如果贊比亞的銅生產(chǎn)出口到其他商品或服務(wù)生產(chǎn)專業(yè)化的其他國家，就有明顯的專業(yè)化合貿(mào)易收益。換句話說，一些國家在許多商品的生產(chǎn)上相對于其貿(mào)易伙伴來說具有絕對優(yōu)勢。一些國家擁有絕對劣勢。他們進(jìn)行低效的生產(chǎn)。比較成本理論認(rèn)為，對于一個(gè)

8、產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)或服務(wù)效率低下的國家來說，對于這種低效產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)進(jìn)行專業(yè)分工，要比生產(chǎn)其他商品更有好處。</p><p>　　絕對成本說是科學(xué)成分與非科學(xué)成分的混合，其正確的方面，是深刻指出了分工對提高勞動(dòng)生產(chǎn)率的巨大意義。各國之間根據(jù)各自的優(yōu)勢進(jìn)行分工，通過國際貿(mào)易使各國都能得利。其錯(cuò)誤主要表現(xiàn)在，認(rèn)為交換引起分工，而交換又是人類本性所決定的。事實(shí)上，交換以分工為前提，在歷史上分工早于交換。同時(shí)，交換也不是人類本性的產(chǎn)物

9、，而是社會(huì)生產(chǎn)方式和分工發(fā)展的結(jié)果。絕對成本說解決了具有不同優(yōu)勢的國家之間的分工和交換的合理性。但是，這只是國際貿(mào)易中的一種特例。如果一個(gè)國家在各方面都處于絕對的優(yōu)勢，而另一個(gè)國家在各方面則都處于劣勢，那么，它們應(yīng)該怎么辦？對此，斯密的理論無法回答，這個(gè)問題的解決是大衛(wèi)·李嘉圖的功勞。</p><p>　　大衛(wèi)·李嘉圖在其代表作《政治經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)及賦稅原理》中提出了比較成本貿(mào)易理論（后人稱為“比較優(yōu)

10、勢貿(mào)易理論”）。比較優(yōu)勢理論是一個(gè)基于假設(shè)的純理論，比較優(yōu)勢理論認(rèn)為，國際貿(mào)易的基礎(chǔ)是生產(chǎn)技術(shù)的相對差別（而非絕對差別），以及由此產(chǎn)生的相對成本的差別。每個(gè)國家都應(yīng)根據(jù)“兩利相權(quán)取其重，兩弊相權(quán)取其輕”的原則，集中生產(chǎn)并出口其具有“比較優(yōu)勢”的產(chǎn)品，進(jìn)口其具有“比較劣勢”的產(chǎn)品。比較優(yōu)勢貿(mào)易理論在更普遍的基礎(chǔ)上解釋了貿(mào)易產(chǎn)生的基礎(chǔ)和貿(mào)易利得，大大發(fā)展了絕對優(yōu)勢貿(mào)易理論。</p><p>　　比較優(yōu)勢理論是從現(xiàn)實(shí)世

11、界的復(fù)雜性中提取的一個(gè)抽象理論。這一理論解釋了為什么它可以實(shí)現(xiàn)兩個(gè)當(dāng)事方（國家，地區(qū)，個(gè)人）之間的交易，即使其中一方可能在生產(chǎn)每一個(gè)項(xiàng)目時(shí)都能夠比另一方更加便宜。事實(shí)上，比較優(yōu)勢理論是一個(gè)示范：它展示了即使一個(gè)國家在所有產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn)中具有絕對劣勢，或者一個(gè)國家在所有產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn)中具有絕對優(yōu)勢，它都可以從貿(mào)易中獲益。作為結(jié)果，具有比較優(yōu)勢的一方可以放棄生產(chǎn)通過它的勞動(dòng)力和資源生產(chǎn)得到具有較少價(jià)值的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)，從而生產(chǎn)特定的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)，同樣，另

12、一方也放棄了同樣的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)，來生產(chǎn)特定的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)。</p><p>　　比較優(yōu)勢的方法在相對程度的條件下是有效的。由于國家資源和技術(shù)水平有限，他們往往在他們具有比較優(yōu)勢的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)上進(jìn)行生產(chǎn)。比較優(yōu)勢是和一種產(chǎn)品與另一種產(chǎn)品相比而產(chǎn)生的機(jī)會(huì)成本相關(guān)的。然而，這個(gè)理論有一定的局限性，因?yàn)樗窃诩僭O(shè)的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行的。例如，一家公司的生產(chǎn)成本不僅要基于要素成本，如工資和材料，而且也要基于生產(chǎn)量。另一個(gè)局限是，它忽略了

13、產(chǎn)品和方案的差別，具體來說，國家或國際市場的競爭力只是由它的成本地位決定的。實(shí)際的產(chǎn)品，程序分化和公司的效益，要比提供一個(gè)有競爭力的產(chǎn)品更為重要。</p><p>　　比較優(yōu)勢的理論的假設(shè)條件：</p><p>　　（1）假定貿(mào)易中只有兩個(gè)國家和兩種商品（X與Y商品），這一個(gè)假設(shè)的目的是為了用一個(gè)二維的平面圖來說明這一理論。</p><p>　?。?）兩國在生產(chǎn)中使

18、靜態(tài)的。如果一個(gè)國家做它具有相對優(yōu)勢的方面，并能夠得到收益，它就有能力提供更好的教育和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。</p><p><b>　　外文原文</b></p><p>　　Introduce an absolute advantage and comparative advantage</p><p>　　According to the classi
