经济发展成本、经济主体行为与制度安排——可持续发展理论的一种新的经济学解释框架

Cost of Economic Development,the Economic Subject and the Arrangement of System——A New Interpretative Framework of Economics to the theory of Sustainable Development

任何形式的经济发展都要付出一定的代价,经济发展代价的价值计量便是经济发展成本。经济发展成本是指经济发展过程中所耗费的超出合理中间投入之上的生态成本、环境成本、资源成本的价值计量。它是经济主体集体环境非理性行为的结果,当经济主体采取成本推进和粗放型增长方式来实现其目标时便会形成经济主体的集体环境非理性行为,从而形成经济发展成本。经济发展成本是可持续发展的基本问题,经济发展成本分析是可持续发展的理论基础,“经济发展成本—经济主体行为—制度安排”是可持续发展理论的一种新的经济学解释框架。可持续发展就是要实现低成本的经济发展,而实现低成本经济发展的关键是要建立有效的制度安排。

The cost of economic development refers to the measured calculation of non- reasonable ecological cost, environmental cost and resources cost consumed in the course of economic development.

The cost of economic development is one of the basic issues of sustainable development, which contributes to the theory of sustainable development a totally new economic interpretative framework, that is, cost of economic development -the economic subject＇s conduct- arrangement of system. Therefore, sustainable development is to develop economy at a low realization cost, which calls for an effective arrangement of system.
