家族企业代际传承的制度演变分析

Institutional Evolution Analysis of Intergenerational Succession of Family Firms

基于新制度经济学的基本思想,文章尝试构建一个家族企业代际传承的理论分析框架,具体分析家族企业代际传承的本质、制度演变机制和经济后果问题。文章的讨论倾向于认为,家族企业代际传承的本质是显性控制权和隐性权威在代际间的传递;代际传承的制度演变机制是新的规则和信念逐渐替代旧的规则和信念,并且信念体系的变化是制度演变机制的根源;在评价家族企业代际传承的经济后果时,应该权衡企业的经济目标与非经济目标。

Based on the basic ideas of new-institutional economics,this paper attempts to construct a theoretical analysis framework of intergenerational succession of family firms,and specifically analyzes the nature of intergenerational succession of family firms,institutional evolution mechanism and economic consequences.This paper reveals that the essence of intergenerational succession of family firms is the intergenerationaltransmissionof explicit control rights and implicit authority.The institutional evolution mechanism of intergenerational succession is that new rules and beliefs gradually replace old rules and beliefs.And the change of the belief system is the root of the institutional evolution mechanism.When evaluating the economic consequences of the intergenerational succession of the family firms,we should consider the trade-off between the economic and non-economic goals in family firms.
