基于丁伯根原则的中国环境政策取向分析

Our China's Environment Policy Based on J. Tinbergen's Principle

丁伯根原则是诺贝尔经济学奖得主丁伯根提出的关于经济调节政策和经济调节目标之间的关系法则:为达到一个经济目标,政府至少要运用一种有效的经济政策;为达到N个经济目标,政府至少要运用N个独立、有效的经济政策。环境问题是涉及经济、政治、社会等的复杂系统。因此,基于丁伯根原则,可以知道无论是庇古提出的政策措施,还是科斯的产权界定都不可能彻底解决环境问题。环境问题的解决,除需要运用经济政策外,政府及公众参与等多种措施是必不可少的。

Tinbergen＇s Principle, proposed by J. Tinbergen, who won the Nobel prize in economic, discovers the relationship between economic policies and economic goal. In order to achieve an economic objective, the government makes use of at least an effective economic policy. In order to achieve a series of economic goals, the government needs to apply a series of economic policies. At the same time, these policies must be independent on each other. Environmental problems are related to economic, political and social complex systems. Therefore, based on the Tinbergen＇s Principle, the solution of environmental problems, no matter it is the policy measures proposed by Pigou or Coase＇s definition of property rights, can not be effective. Apart from the use of economic policy, government＇s and public participation is essential to solve environmental problems.
