我国长期米价研究(1644—2000)

China’s Rice Price (1644—2000)

本文借鉴有关清代、民国和新中国大米价格已有研究成果。对过去约三个半世纪米价数据进行整理、估测和观察。主要包含四方面工作：首先对清代以来不同历史时期用不同货币标示的市场米价原始数据进行了汇集和整理；接着利用历次货币制度改革演变形成的不同货币之间数量兑换关系。把原始米价数据转换为名义米价指数；随后结合一般物价指数的整理和估测结果。把名义米价转换为实际米价数据；最后对实际米价长期变动若干特点给以简略观察和评论。

This paper complies the statistical data on rice price in China over the last three and half centuries. First it complies the nominal rice price data measured in various forms of money covering the three historical periods of Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China. Then it converts the nominal price data into a consistent price series using the existing research results that clarify the conversion ratios among monies used in the periods. The nominal price index is subsequently converted into the real rice price series on the basis of the complied general price index. Finally it gives brief comments on the observed real price series.
