本文利用近年来发展迅速的激励理论和历史比较制度分析理论,对明清时期的徽商和晋商的商帮治理模式进行了系统的比较和分析,并进一步探讨了两者治理结构的差异的成因,每个商帮治理模式内部各种激励手段的互补性,以及商帮治理与地域文化、商人信念之间的互动关系。

By the use of the incentive theory that has developed rapidly in recent years and the theory about the his-torical and comparative institutional analysis, we have made a systematic comparison and analysis of the gover-nance model of the Anhui traders and Shanxi traders in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and further explored the origins of the differences in the governance structure of the two kinds of traders, the complementarities between all kinds of incentive instruments used in the governance patterns of each group of traders mentioned above, and interaction between the governance of trader groups, the local culture and the traders'faith.
