超脱或应对——法院与市场规制部门的竞争

Stay Away or to Take It： Institutional Competition between Court and Market Regulators in China

政府的市场规制在我国和全球势不可挡。与规制部门相比，法院在知识结构的改进和信息更新方面不具有天然的优势；我国政府规制独特的发展历程和目前的某些制度安排使法院这方面明显处于劣势。波斯纳建议中国和发展中国家的法院为了获得司法独立和建立司法权威采取“超脱”策略，减少对复杂社会问题的介入。但这样会进一步减少中国法官在工作中获取信息和更新知识的机会，拉大法院和规制部门在这方面的差距。规制部门与法院在资源、管理权和人才等方面存在激烈的竞争，竞争力的下降将无助于法院争取司法独立和树立司法权威。为使法院保持足够的机构竞争力，未来中国司法改革应当以增加信息流入和提高信息质量为方向。

Government regulation of market has become inevitable in China as well as globally. Compared with regulatory authorities, Chinese court does not enjoy much advantage in terms of human capital and the mechnism in updating informa-tion. Instead, the unique hisotry of regulatory authorities and current institutional arrangement in China has put court in a disadvnataged position in terms of informa- tion and human capital. Judge Posner proposed that court in China and other develo- ping countries shall stay away from copmlicated social contraversy to win judicial independence and authority. However,in China, such a strategy would reduce the exposure of court and judges to new information and knowledge and hence put court in a even worse position relative to reguahory authorities. Court and regulatoritory authorities are fericly competiting for resoruces,jurisdicitons and talent. Losing such a competition would not help court gain independence and authorities in China. To enhance court＇s competitive advantages, future judiciary reform in China shall be taken to channel new information into the court and to improve the quality of such.
