科学立法的效率价值及其实现——法经济学的视角

Efficiency Value of Scientific Legislation and Its Realization

由于立法者能够控制的资源存在稀缺性,决定了立法者不得不对资源进行不同可能的选择与配置,因而,立法这一行为本身一定同时是经济行为,科学立法实际上就是对稀缺的资源进行有效和高效的法律配置。无论是作为法的基本价值之一的效率,还是其他基本价值如人权、自由、正义与秩序的实现,一样要遵循效率价值,因此,效率应该成为科学立法的核心价值与必要尺度:无论是立法本身的效率,还是法促进的社会发展效率。有效高效的立法产品——即法律制度及其体系——一定要建立在立法者意图实现的纳什均衡之上,否则,立法目标便难以实现。

Scarcity of resources that legislators can control determines that legislators have to differently choose and configure resources.Therefore,legislation itself must be an economic act.Scientific legislation is actually an effective and efficient legal allocation for scarce resources.Efficiency as one of the fundamental values of law or other fundamental values such as human rights,freedom,justice and order must follow efficiency value.Therefore,efficiency should become the core value and necessary yardstick of scientific legislation in the aspects of efficiency of legislation itself or law-promoted efficiency of social development.Effective and efficient legislation products--namely legal system--must be built on Nash equilibrium intended by legislators,otherwise legislative goals cannot be realized.
