资源、技术、制度与经济增长

Resource, Technology, Institution and Economic Growth

资源、技术、制度三类因素在经济增长中的作用得到学术界越来越广泛的承认。从静态的角度,资源的数量取决于技术水平;一定技术水平决定了一个国家的潜在最大产量,而制度则决定了这种潜在量转变为现实量的程度。从动态的角度,技术变迁和制度变迁是解决人类与自然紧张关系的两种手段,不存在谁一定决定谁的关系;在经济发展的不同阶段,资源、技术和制度对经济增长的贡献不同。

Economists, on the sources of economic growth, have reached a preliminary consensus： economic growth depends on resource, technology and institution. From the angle of static, the level of technology is determined by the quantity of re- sources; A certain technology level decides the potential largest goods one country can produce, but the extent of the potential coming true is up to institutions. From the angle of dynamics, both technology and institution are ways towards dealing with the relation between human beings and the nature. Contribution rate of the three to economic growth is varied in different stages of economic development
