从规范经验主义到制度主义——农业产业化研究的文献回顾及研究方法的评论

From Normal Empiricism to Institutionalism——A Review on Research Literature and Method of Agricultural Industrialization

综观农业产业化的研究文献,大体可归为三大类,即规范经验式的政策研究、基于产业组织视角的分析以及近年来出现的运用新制度经济学方法进行的研究。在综述大量有关产业化研究文献的基础上,对现有研究中所采用的主要方法的特征,及其存在的一些问题或缺陷进行了深入的探讨。分析表明目前的农业经济学研究中存在着两种明显的极端倾向一种是经验式的规范研究;另一种是先验的理论教条倾向。本文提出进一步的研究在方法上应当注重理论研究与实证研究、历史的动态分析与比较静态分析以及新古典与新制度主义相结合。根据这三原则,文章试图提出一个新的理解我国农业产业化组织发展的经济学本质的研究框架。

Literature about Agricultural industrialization can be divided into three parts: normal empirical policy study; positive analysis based on industrial organization theory; recent research based on new institutional economics. After reviewing many literature about agricultural industrialization, this paper discuss the main characteristics and problems about recent research methods. It shows obviously that there are two extreme trends about economics methods used at present: one is empirical normal study, the other is apriori doctrine study .The combination of theoretical and positive study, historically dynamic and comparatively static analysis, neo-classic and new institutionalism should gain more attentions in future studies. According to the above three principles, it tries to put forward a new analytical framework which reveals the economic features of agricultural industrialization development.
