科斯命题的谬误

The Fallacies of Coase Theorem

科斯命题的谬误分为逻辑谬误和经验谬误,学术界对科斯命题的谬误的争论经常在两个不同层次上展开,造成了很多混乱。自由交换版科斯命题、交易成本版科斯命题和完全竞争版科斯命题是否是同义反复或者逻辑谬误在于“交易成本”、“自由交换”和“效率”的定义,实际上属于是否逻辑谬误的问题。科斯对经验世界的判断“通常”、“往往”似乎成立,但仔细分析,科斯的判断是错误的。

The fallacies of Coase Theorem fall into logical fallacies and experience fallacies. The relevant scholars are often disputing over the fallacies of Coase Theorem at two different levels, which has caused much confusion. Coase Theorem related to free exchange, Coase Theorem related to transaction cost and Coase Theorem related to complete competition rely on the definitions of ＂transaction cost＂, ＂free exchange＂ and ＂efficiency＂, which are related to logical fallacies. Coase＇s understanding of the experience world ＂usually＂ or ＂often＂ seems to hold water but a detailed analysis will reveal his conclusion is incorrect.
