搜寻成本、制度安排与产业集群的形成机制

Search Costs,Institutional Arrangements and the Formation Mechanism of Industrial Clusters

本文运用搜寻成本理论,考察了不同的制度安排与信息搜寻成本之间的关系,在此基础上,从企业与顾客"交易"角度分析了产业集群的形成机制。研究结果表明:市场交易的搜寻成本可以通过制度安排来降低。不同的交易制度与交易主体的数量特征相关,特别地,在交易双方众多数量条件下,卖方最有可能实现聚集生产而形成集群;集群节约了买卖双方的搜寻成本,扩大了产品市场。

This paper uses the search cost theory to explore the relationship between different systems arrangement and search eost. On this basis, analyzes industrial clusters＇ formation mechanism from ＂transaction＂ point of view. The results show that ： the search costs of market transaction can be reduced through institutional arrangements ; different trading system is related to number of transactions. In particular, in conditions of the large number of transaction, the seller is most likely to form industrial clusters. The clusters saves the search cost of seller and the buyer, expanding the product market.
