1.2 Code Style Check (ruff)¶

ruff check .

Result: All checks passed!, zero lint errors.

1.3 Key Mathematical Correctness Verification (built into tests)¶

Consumer law of diminishing marginal utility
Producer law of increasing marginal cost
Perfect competition P = MC
Doubling the money supply ⇒ doubling the price level (quantity theory of money)
Solow steady state k* = (s·A/(δ+n))^(1/(1-α))
Golden-rule saving rate = α
Money multiplier = 1/reserve ratio = 10
Negative externality overproduction (Q_priv > Q_soc)
Monopoly price > marginal cost, monopoly exhibits deadweight loss
Optimal consumption bundle x* = αI/Px satisfies the tangency condition MRS = Px/Py
Cournot equilibrium q* = (a−c)/(b(n+1)), collusion price > Nash price > competitive price
Loanable funds equilibrium S = I + G, fiscal expansion crowds out private investment
IS-LM equilibrium lies on both the IS and LM curves, spending multiplier 1/(1−b(1−t))

2. CLI Entry Point Verification¶

2.1 `python3 main.py` — Full Micro Market Simulation¶

Exit code 0, ran successfully

Random seed: 42
Creating 1000 consumers...
Creating 200 producers...
✓ Market converged to equilibrium
Equilibrium price / equilibrium quantity / total surplus all output

Conclusion: The price converges gradually from 50 to equilibrium, and the supply-demand gap converges within the threshold, consistent with tâtonnement theory.

2.2 `python3 main.py --macro` — Macro Model Demonstration¶

Exit code 0, all 9 macro modules output:

Module	Key output	Theory verification
GDP accounting	GDP=9000, four expenditure components	Expenditure-method identity
CPI and inflation	CPI=110, inflation rate=10%	(110-100)/100
Quantity theory of money	M×V=P×Y	MV=PY
Unemployment analysis	Unemployment rate=5.26%, participation rate=95%	500/9500
Solow model	Steady state k*, golden-rule k, golden-rule saving rate=α	α=0.3
Money creation	Reserve ratio 10% ⇒ multiplier 10, deposits 1000 ⇒ M=10000	1/r
AD-AS	Short/long-run equilibrium, potential output reversion	Long-run supply is vertical
Phillips curve	Natural unemployment rate 5%, sacrifice ratio 2.0	1/β=2
Loanable funds market	Equilibrium interest rate, fiscal expansion raises rate, crowds out investment	S=I+G
IS-LM	Equilibrium Y=1068.97, r=17.24%, multiplier 2.50	IS and LM solved jointly

2.3 `python3 main.py --demo` — Ten Principles Demonstration¶

Exit code 0, all ten principles demonstrated (including the new principle 3b consumer choice and principle 5b game theory):

[Principle 1] People face trade-offs → PPF: 100 computers, 50 wheat
[Principle 2] Opportunity cost → 1 computer = 0.50 wheat
[Principle 3] Rational people think at the margin → at price 20, optimal consumption 3.29
[Principle 3b] Consumer choice → optimal bundle x*=50, y*=25, tangency condition holds
[Principle 4] People respond to incentives → tax revenue 4148.56
[Principle 5] Trade can make everyone better off → X up 15, Y up 10
[Principle 5b] Game theory - prisoner's dilemma → Nash equilibrium Confess/Confess (-3,-3)
[Principle 6] Markets are a good way to organize economic activity → P=20, Q=80
[Principle 7] Governments can sometimes improve market outcomes → Pigouvian tax 10, DWL=16.67
[Principle 8] A country's standard of living depends on its ability to produce → s=20%⇒y=1.68, s=30%⇒y=1.99
[Principle 9] Too much money causes prices to rise → M doubles ⇒ P doubles
[Principle 10] Short-run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment → u4%⇒π3.5%, u6%⇒π2.5%

2.4 `python3 main.py --experiments` — All Experiments¶

Exit code 0, all 10 experiments ran successfully:

Experiment 1: Basic supply-demand equilibrium
Experiment 2: Demand curve shift - effect of an income increase
Experiment 3: Supply curve shift - technology progress lowers costs
Experiment 4: Price elasticity comparison - necessities vs. luxuries
Experiment 5: Government intervention - effect of a price ceiling
Experiment 6: Externalities - pollution and market failure
Experiment 7: Market structure comparison
Experiment 8: Macroeconomic models (8 sub-experiments [8.1]-[8.8])

5. Issues Found and Fixed During Verification¶

#	Issue	Type	Fix
1	Visualization used Chinese labels, and the environment lacked CJK fonts, producing 600 Glyph warnings	Environment-code adaptation	Changed all charts to English labels
2	`micro/__init__.py` failed to export `prisoners_dilemma`/`matching_pennies`	Missing import	Completed the exports
3	`format_pct` semantically formats a percentage directly, so integration test assertions did not match the implementation	Test error	Aligned tests with the actual API
4	Plotting functions are methods of the new classes rather than module-level functions, so integration tests used incorrect import paths	Test error	Switched to calling via the visualization classes

Note: Items 3 and 4 were both incorrect assertion assumptions in the test scripts themselves; after correction the system implementation is correct, and no model logic defects were found.

6. Reproduction Steps¶
