西方经济学心理基础与中国经济学思维本土化——经济人假设的特殊性和局限性探析

Psychological Foundation of Western Economics and Thought Indigenization of Chinese Economics——Study on Particularity and Limitation of Hypothesis of Economic Man

现代主流经济学植根于西方社会的文化和心理,其理论假设和分析框架都是基于西方根深蒂固的自然主义思维;而中国社会的文化伦理和现实环境却与西方社会存在很大的差别,这是中国经济学人在主流经济学领域很难做出相应贡献的根本原因。正因为经济学具有强烈的本土性,其理论的构建和发展必须建立在本土行为机理的契合性基础之上,因此,中国经济学的实质发展贵在思维本土化。

Modern mainstream economics roots in western culture and psychology and its theoretical hypothesis and analytical framework are based on western naturalism thought. But cultural ethics and real environment in China are greatly different from the ones in west- ern world, which explains the reason that Chinese economists have made so little contribu- tion to mainstream economics. Just because of the strong nature of indigenization in economics, the construction and development of economic theories should rest on the compatibility of indigenous behavior mechanism. Therefore, thought indigenization is the key to developing Chinese economics.
