商事登记制度的法经济学分析

An Analysis of the Commercial Registration System from the Perspective of Law-economics

现代商事登记是国家确认商事主体资格,并公布商事主体相关资料的信息公示机制。运用法经济学的原理对商事登记进行分析,可以发现其具有信息经济学以及博弈论的机制特征。商事登记作为一种信息传递和合作博弈的框架体现了其经济属性,具有提供信息服务、维护市场安全以及提高交易效率的经济功能。从社会契约论的角度观察,商事登记蕴涵了社会契约的基本属性,具有强制缔约义务、法定的格式条款、诚实信用原则以及登记效力等契约要素。我国在完善商事登记立法时应当更多关注其信息公示功能,以此保障交易安全,提高市场效率。

The modern commercial registration is an information publicity mechanism by which a country confirms the qualifications of commercial subjects and announces the data relevant to commercial subjects. Through an analysis of the commercial registration with the law-economies principles, it can be found that the commercial registration is characterized by the mechanisms of information economics and game theory. As a framework of information transfer and cooperative game, the commercial registration embodies the economic attributes, and possesses such economic functions as providing information services, maintaining market security as well as improving transactional efficiency. From the perspective of social contract theory, the commercial registration contains such basic properties of a social contract as compulsory contracting obligations, statutory standard terms, principles of good faith and registration validity. In perfecting the commercial registration legislation, China should be more concerned about its information publicity function so as to guarantee transactional security and improve market efficiency.
