分利抑制与经济增长

Predation Prohibition and Economic Development

本文建立了一个资源在生产性行为和非生产性行为①之间分配的一般均衡模型,分析了在政府作为仲裁者的情况下,模型均衡的决定因素。分析的重点是当经济体处于无分利行为的均衡时,政府所能起到的作用。本文得到的结论是两个个体按利益最大化原则进行资源分配,并不能完全杜绝分利行为,即达不到无分利行为的均衡。只有在政府以仲裁者的身份参与博弈时,才有可能达到无分利行为的均衡状态。因此,在经济发展过程中,自由放任并不是政府的最佳选择,政府应该扮演重要的角色。本文最重要的贡献在于,给出了政府干预经济的一个准则。

We develop a general equilibrium model of the allocation of resources among productive and nonproductive activities, with which we analyze how the equilibrium is determined when the government is introduced as the third party of economy participants. We focuses on the possibility of equilibrium without predation, in which no resources are allocated to predation. We reach the conclusion that it is hard to yield equilibrium without predation unless the government acts as the third party. Therefore, the government should play a more important role than we have imagined.
