个人利益与社会公共利益——关于斯密原理、布坎南公共选择理论与赫维茨机制设计理论的比较研究

Individual Interests and Social Public Interests——A Comparative Study on Smith Principle,Buchanan's Public Choice Theory and Hurwicz's Mechanism Design Theory

亚当.斯密在18世纪开创了市场经济理论体系,布坎南的公共选择理论把斯密的理论体系扩展到政治市场,而赫维茨开创的机制设计理论则对斯密理论体系给予了现代解释与证明,并在此基础上提供了弥补市场机制缺陷的机制设计方法。透过分析,我们发现这三个理论具有很强的内在关联,贯穿它们的一根主线是:试图达到个人利益与社会公共利益激励兼容。

Adam Smith lay the foundation for the market economy theory in the 18 century, Buchanan＇s public choice theory expanded Smith principle in political market, and Hurwizc＇s mechanism design theory gave Smith principle a modern interpretation and proof, proposing methods to design corresponding mechanism to remedy the defect of market mechanisms. It is found that the three theories have rigorous inherent connection： to pursue incentive-compatibility for individual interests and social public interests.
