谨防经济理论研究走入数学化误区

Beware the Research on Economic Theory Fall Into a Trap of Mathematicization

当前,在我国经济理论的研究中,出现了滥用数学方法的形式主义倾向。这种倾向严重偏离了科学的发展轨迹,使经济学失去其作为社会科学的应有特征,从而导致经济理论的研究误入歧途,对经济实践也会产生误导作用。只有坚持科学的研究态度,正确处理经济学和数学、定性分析和定量分析、静态分析和动态分析以及理论研究和实践应用的关系,实现经济理论和数学方法的有机结合,才能在更高层次上服务于中国的经济建设。

Nowadays, there is a formalist tendency of misusing the mathemetical methods in the research on our economic theories. This tendency has seriously deviated from the development path of science and has made economics lose its own character as a social science. It has resulted in the research on economic theories going astray and economic practice being misled. Therefore, we must keep up scientific research attitude and properly handle the relation between economics and mathemetics, the relation between qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, the relation between static analysis and dynamic analysis as well as the relation between theoretical research and practical application. Thus we must make efforts to link the economic theories with mathemetical methods dynamically so as to serve the ecoromic construction of China at a higher level.
