GDP数字能够说明什么

What Do the GDP Figures Say?

在近年来GDP快速增长的同时,一些隐藏在数字背后的东西值得我们挖掘。一方面,政府公布的GDP数字可能包含着虚假成分,不十分准确,这包括基于政绩观的数字虚高、统计上报中的人为造假、统计口径选择的不一致、统计基数估算的不真实以及统计过程中的重复计算等;另一方面,即使GDP数字是真实的,它也无法全面反映人们的福利水平,因为GDP与市场化程度密切相关,它体现的是粗放式发展,不但无法估算外部性造成的危害,更无法对那些难以量化的诸多福利进行统计。当GDP增长到一定水平后,政府的工作重心应该有所转换,不应再追求量的增长而是要注重质的提升,要关注过度市场化带来的问题以促进经济社会持续、协调发展,要求注重应得权利与国民财富的同步发展以促进和谐社会的建设。

It is worthwhile exploring behind the figures of GDP with its rapid development in the past few years. On one hand, the figures may be feigned, the reasons of which are varied. On the other hand,they can not reflect the level of welfare even if the figures are authentic, the main reason being most factors which influence weU-being can not be quantified. Besides,after the figures of GDP attain a significant state, the main focus of government work should be shifted from quantity increase to quality improvement.
