摘要
演化经济学中的主流观点认为技术创新和演化是拉马克式的而非新达尔文式的,具有明显的方向性和确定性。事实上,技术创新的随机性和确定性并行不悖。对于那些具有更纯粹性质的基础创新而言,它主要是新达尔文式的,具有很大的不确定性,难以预测。而对于技术创新的扩散及与此过程紧密相关的增量创新而言,它具有更多的拉马克性质,带有明显的确定性和方向性,能够预测。对于两种不同性质的技术创新需要不同的促进思路和措施,笼统地不假思索地在技术创新演化研究中高举拉马克主义旗帜是欠妥的。
The mainstream view of Evolutionary Economics believes that technological evolution is not a new Darwinian process but a Lamarckian process, with the clear direction and certainty. In fact, randomness and certainty are coexisting in technological innova- tion, this paper shows that for a more pure basic innovation or in the other word radical innovation, it is a new Darwinian process in the main degree, with uncertainty and unpredictability. Only for the diffusion of technological innovation and the closely related incremental innovation, it is a Lamarckian process in the main degree, with apparent certainty and predictability. The two different types of technological innovation needs different ideas and measures for the technological progress, thoroughly holding the banner of Lamarckism without hesitation in the technological evolution of innovation is defective.
