论效用概念和边际分析法在微观经济学教学中的重要性

The Importance of the concepts of Utility and the Method of Marginal Analysis in the Teaching of Microeconomics

效用概念是微观经济学得以建立和发展的重要理论基石,而边际分析法的广泛运用使得经济学家对经济变量之间的数量关系分析成为可能,从而能够在科学的意义上揭示各种经济现象和过程中的客观规律。显然,使学生真正理解和把握效用概念和边际分析法,对于微观经济学的教学具有非常重要意义。此外,论文还对效用概念、边际效用递减规律等问题提出一些看法。

The concept of utility is the most important theoretical basis for establishing and developing of microeconomics.The wide employment of marginal analysis in all fields of the western economics has enabled economists to analyze the numerical relationship between different economical variables thus to reveal scientifically the objective laws in all economical phenomena and in all economical process'.Hence,the teaching of the concepts of utility and the method of marginal analysis is very important in Microeconomics.Besides,this paper also concerns some argument such as whether or not the concept of utility is a subjective idealism one,whether or not the law of diminishing marginal utility is a subjective idealism theory.The law of currency diminishing marginal utility is explored tentatively as well.
