流通企业的功能及其规模--一个交易费用经济学的分析

The Function and Size of Circulate Enterprises:One analysis on Transaction Cost Economics

交易费用经济学在解释流通企业的本质及规模决定问题时不如在解释其它经济组织时更成功,原因在于流通企业本身是市场的载体,是专业化交易的经济组织,其最佳规模在一定市场容量的制约下,由交易费用的变动决定,并且流通企业的规模是商品供求矛盾内在化于流通的结果。

Transaction Cost Economics is more successful when we explain the circulate enterprise＇s function and boundary than we explain the others. Because the circulate enterprise is the medium of market and it specializes transaction. The size of circulate enterprise is restricted by the capacity of market and its transaction cost. The size of the circulate enterprise depends on intrinsically the contradiction between supplies and demands.
