正在转型的公共经济学——基于行为公共经济学视角的讨论

Public Economics in Transition:A Discussion Based on the Perspective of Behavioral Public Economics

新古典范式下的公共经济学存在理论缺陷,无法解释公共品自愿供给和公共领域合作等问题。经济学家通过采用实验经济学的研究方法对这些难题展开了大量研究,行为公共经济学由此兴起。本文将从公共品供给行为、公共选择和公共财政三个层面评述行为公共经济学的核心思想,并基于这个理论提供政策建议,以解决我国社会经济转型中公共领域存在的问题。

There exist theoretical flaws on public economics under the research paradigm of new classical economics, which includes the impossibility of explaining the phenomenon of voluntary provision of public goods or cooperation behavior in public sector. Economists have made many studies on these problems by using experimental research methods and the achievements contribute to the rise of behavioral public economics. This paper reviews the fundamental thought of behavioral public economics from three levels which contain public goods provision, public choice and public finance. Based on this theory, the authors will provide policy advice to solve problems among public sector during social economic transition period in our country.
