中国经济增长方式基本特征的方法论视角

A Methodological Perspective on Basic Characteristics of Chinese Economic Growth Mode

从经济学方法论角度看,近30年来中国经济持续高速增长有其深刻的、独特的基本特征,不能简单地应用西方经济学的基本分析框架来研究中国经济增长及增长方式问题,因为基本特征的不同取决于基本假设条件的不同。从中国经济增长数量的角度看,中国的政治经济制度、生产力结构、科学进步机制、历史传统和经济基础等,都具有十分鲜明的特征,从而深刻地影响着中国经济增长的方式。因此,我们可以借鉴西方经济学实证研究方法的原则和规范,但不能简单地接受西方经济学的有关基本假设条件。

From the perspective of economic methodology, China＇s high growth has its profound and unique characteristics, which means that the basic hypotheses of China＇s economy are different from other countries＇, especially the developed ones. Hence, it is imprudent to conduct research on issues of economic growth in China through the framework of western economics. Basing on the fact of quan- titative growth, we found that some vivid and special characteristics in China have profound influence over the economic growth mode, such as political and economic institutions, structure of productivity, mechanism of science advancement, historical traditions and economic foundations. Our conclusion is that we should make use of the principles and norms of positive methodology of western economics rather than its basic hypotheses.
