技术进步的原因和性质——基于分工和报酬递增的研究

The Nature and Causes of the Technological Progress:A Research Based on the Labor Division and Increasing Returns

技术进步本身有着内在的逻辑,大范围的技术进步难以依靠由政府动员全社会力量集中攻关的“举国体制”来实现。技术进步源于劳动分工,分工具有自发演进的正反馈机制,其中交易效率决定分工演进的速度。技术进步能够导致报酬递增的结果,所以分工的演进才是经济可持续发展的决定性因素。

It is imposable to achieve the technological progress widely by the whole country system, which depends on the government＇s roles, because there is its own inherent logic in the technological progress. The technological progress is from the division of labor and the division of labor strengthens itself through the positive feedback mechanisms, in which the transaction efficiency determines the development of the division of labor. The increasing returns are the result of the technological progress, therefore the development of the division of labor is the decisive factor to the sustained economic growth.
