对西方经济学中厂商利润最大化理论的重新思考

西方经济学按照研究对象不同分为微观和宏观经济学,并且认为微观经济学是宏观经济学的基础。但是在具体的内容安排上又把其严格分为两部分,两部分基本保持独立,内容上基本没有关系。例如:在厂商利润最大化理论中,只研究单个厂商的利润最大化条件(资源利用问题),而没有同时联系宏观经济学考虑资源配置问题和联系消费者行为理论考虑消费者的效用最大化问题以及联系商品价格弹性问题考虑厂商的价格决策。本文拟就此问题作以探讨。

Rethought on the Theory of Profit Maximization for Manufacturer in Western Economics

In accordance with different subjects of study,western economics are divided into microeconomics and macroeconomics,and the microeconomics is the basis of macroeconomics.However,in the specific contents,they are strictly divided into two parts again,and they remain independent,and basically do not matter in content.For example：in the theory of the firms profits maximization,it only studies the conditions of a single firm＇s profit maximization（resource utilization）,but does not contact macroeconomics to consider the issues about resources allocation and does not contact the consumer behavior theory to consider the utility maximization problem of consumers and does not contact price elasticity of commodity price to consider the issues about decision of makers.This article intends to explore these issues.
