基于新评价标准的中美经济增长质量比较

A Comparative Study on Quality of China-US Economic Growth Based on New Evaluation Criteria

本文认为国外经济增长问题研究的实质就是经济增长质量,而国内经济增长质量问题研究的范畴过于宽泛,几乎等同于经济发展。本文提出了经济增长质量评价标准的三项标准后,围绕GDP设立了新的评价指标,并从经济增长的效率、能耗、环境压力、平衡性和平稳性5个方面对中美经济增长质量做了全面的实证比较研究。结果表明,中国在前4个方面与美国存在巨大差距,但差距在快速缩小,而增长的稳定性优于美国。

This paper argues that the western economic growth theory, focus on the quality of economic growth, while the domestic studies on quality of economic growth are too broad, almost equivalent to the study on economic development. This paper presents a set of new evaluation criteria around GDP, and based on it, compares comprehensively the quality of China-US economic growth from the efficiency, energy consumption, environmental stress, regional balance and stability of economic growth. The results of the empirical study show that there is a huge gap between China and the United States in the efficiency, energy consumption, environmental stress and regional balance, but the gap is rapidly closing. But China＇ s economic growth is more stable than the United States.
