我国经济研究中的两个典型方法论问题

Two Typical Methodological Problems in China's Economic Study

我国的许多研究在使用均衡分析方法的时候,往往以西方发达市场经济作为均衡状态,从而把我国经济中出现的问题归结为对均衡状态的偏离。这是对均衡分析方法的错误运用,应该加以纠正。作为经济学的基础理论,我国社会主义政治经济学的一些重要理论观点在改革开放以后发生了极大的变化。只有把对现行政策的辩护转变为对既定政策条件下的经济关系和因果关系的揭示,才能真正实现理论创新和理论发展。在这个方面,马克思经济学方法论是锐利的武器。

A lot of studies in China, while adopting the equilibrium analysis method, usually take the developed Western market economies as an equilibrium state. Consequently they often attribute the problems arising in Chinese economy to the deviation from the equilibrium state. This is actually a misuse of the equilibrium analysis method and should be corrected. As fundamental theories in economics, a number of important theoretical viewpoints on socialist political economics in China have changed a lot after the reform and opening up. Only when the defense for current policies has been transformed into the revelation of economic and causal relationships under a given policy environment, can we truly realize theoretical innovation and development. In this aspect, the methodology in Marxist economics is undoubtedly a powerful weapon.
