从有限增长、末端治理到循环经济——资源环境约束下的经济增长理论综述

From Limited Growth & End-of-pipe-treatment to Circular Economy——A Summary of Economic Growth Theories in Restriction of Resources and Environment

人类对资源环境的关注几乎与工业革命同步,最初的研究集中在是否应该增长及增长的模式上,主要的理论成果有有限增长理论、有分化增长理论和无意外增长理论。随后的末端治理理论的主要思想是先污染后治理和边污染边治理。而随着知识经济时代的到来,在这一领域里的最新成果是循环经济理论,强调生产的减量化、再利用和资源化,以求实现经济增长的可持续性。国内理论界对这一问题的普遍关注始于20世纪90年代,研究的内容主要涉及基础理论、操作方法和政策法规。

Almost in the beginning of the industrial revolution, human begin to care for resource and environment, the earlier research is concentrated on whether growing is necessary or not and the growth mode. The main accomplishment include theories of limited growth, organic growth and growth without accident. The succedent theory of end - of - pipe - treatment contains two main parts, control after pollution and treatment while pollution. As the knowledge economy era is coming up, the new fruit in this field is circular economy which stresses on the points of reduction, reuse and recycle to pursue sustainable growth of economy. Most of our Chinese researchers put their eyes on this issue in about 1990s, and their researching aspects mainly relate to basic theory, operational methods, roles and regulations.
