新制度经济学:一个理论概括

New Institutional Economics: A Theoretical Generalization

作为现代经济学的重大发展之一,制度经济学已深入考察了诸多经济问题。制度经济学溯源和演化都有多条路径,且它们之间尚有交叉和互补的趋势,但其中新制度经济学总体上还是具有较为明确的特征。它并未改变新古典经济学的范式,而是在继承其基本内核的同时又做了一些重要发展。它不仅改变了行为主体和分析对象,而且实现了企业和家庭、市场和企业以及政府和微观主体在分析上的统一。新制度经济学诸多分支都是围绕着一个核心定理展开的,它们只是从不同角度对科斯定理的具体延伸。而制度因素分析、比较制度分析和博弈分析等方法,也显示了新制度经济学的自身特色。

As one of the important development of modern economics, institutional economics has deeply inspected many economic problems. It did not change the new classical economics＇ paradigm, while inheriting its theoretical kernel and making some important development. It not only changes its behavior subject and analysis object, but also realizes the uni- fied analysis between enterprise and family, market and enterprises, government and microcosmic subjects. Branches of new institutional economics have a core theorem and are the specific extension of Coase theorem. The institutional factors analysis, comparative institutional analysis and the game theory analysis also show the features of new institutional eco- nomics.
