货币制度理论的演变及评价——一个文献述评

An Evaluation on the Evolution of the Theory of Monetary Institutions——From the Perspective of Literature Review

通过货币制度理论梳理可知,货币制度研究要遵循"大金融、大系统"的特点,即研究范围要足够大,涉及整个金融体系;时间要足够长,能揭示制度变迁的规律。在古典经济学时代,货币问题本身就是金融学的全部研究范畴。随着凯恩斯理论和新古典经济学理论的发展,货币问题逐渐与资金的融通、管理和运用等其他金融问题相伴而生。西方激进分析范式将历史的、社会的因素引入货币问题的研究中,强调货币的制度性本质和变迁。制度经济学的发展拓展了货币制度研究的深度和广度,金融活动的效率伴随金融体系的演化而变化,货币制度的研究需要扩展到系统和动态的研究视角。发展金融学理论强调金融体系与经济系统的相互作用,货币制度的研究范围也从金融体系内部扩大到金融体系外部,关注金融系统与经济系统之间的相互作用。新制度金融学的发展则为货币制度研究提供了不同的方法和视角。

The study on monetary institutions should cover the whole financial system within a long time span to reveal the revolution of institutions. In the time of the Classical Economics, there was the only study on monetary in finance field. With the development of Keynes Theory and the New Classical Economics Theory, there introduced new problems on financing, managing and using of funds. The western radical paradigm emphasized the essence and evolution of monetary system through the angles of history and society. The Institutional Economics led a new research angle for the study of financial activities, where one should consider factors both system and development. The financial development theory emphasized the interaction between financial system and economic system, which extended the study on monetary institutions to a wider range. The new Institutional Finance provides various perspectives and methods for the study on monetary institutions.
