比较法视野下的金融发展——关于法律和金融理论的研究述评

“法律与金融”是20世纪90年代中后期在美国兴起的一门新兴交叉学科,是继20世纪60年代“法和经济学”运动之后的又一股交叉研究浪潮,它运用经济学和计量经济学分析工具来分析金融法问题,属法律经济学研究的前沿分支领域。法律和金融理论有两大研究方向:一是强调法律这一制度性因素对金融主体行为的影响;二是利用经济学的研究方法来研究金融法问题。在不同法系背景下金融发展水平的差别在很大程度上归因于各国法律渊源的不同,金融的发展具有路径差异。

Law and Finance is an emerging interdiscipline, which developed from in America. As a frontier of Law and Economics, it is another wave after the movement of the middle of 1990s Law and Economics initiated from 1960s in America. In this field, economic finance theory and econometrics methods are used to analyze and study how the law and legal system affect the forming of national finance system. Law and Finance concerns two study directions： one is to study the influence from law to financial behaviors. The other is to study financial law by use of economic approach.
