论虚拟经济的特殊“供求规律”

A Study of the Special Law of Supply-Demand in Virtual Economy

虚拟经济是虚拟资本的运动形式。虚拟资本是金融工具的一种派生形式,其产生于金融,但不同于金融;因为虚拟经济与金融有不同的功能和运行规律。金融属于实体经济范畴,而虚拟经济则与实体经济对立,有其自身独特的运动规律:与实体经济截然相反的"供求律"。据此所建立的虚拟经济"供求模型",能说明虚拟经济与实体经济的不同运动规律。虚拟经济运动是对现实的一个"颠倒"。由于其运动的能量——货币要由实体经济提供,并回到实体经济,当实体经济停止"供血",它立刻崩溃,且酿成大规模的经济危机。

Virtual economy is the moving form of virtual capital, which is a derivative of financial instrument and origi- nates from finance but differs from finance in that virtual economy has different functions and operation rules from those of finance. Finance belongs to real economy, but virtual economy has its own law of motion opposite to that of real economy, that is, the opposite ＂law of supply and demand＂. Therefore, this paper argues that a supply-demand model of virtual e- conomy is able to account for the different law of motion of virtual economy from that of real economy. The movement of vir- tual economy is reverse of reality. As the energy behind its motion, i.e. , currency, comes from real economy, virtual e- conomy would collapse immediately when real economy stops providing ＂blood＂, i. e. , currency, which may cause a large- scale economic crisis.
