产权残缺是个“伪命题”

The Attenuation of Property Rights is a False Proposition

产权残缺命题在分析中国产权制度改革时大受欢迎,但很少有学者注意到该命题的“伪命题性”。通过对该命题理论范畴的简要梳理可以发现,它的产权弱化等核心术语在逻辑上是冲突的;它关于私有产权最有效率的暗含观点是绝对的;它关于产权残缺原因机制的分析是矛盾的。而且,产权残缺命题的主要贡献者如德姆塞茨、弗鲁博顿、平乔维奇和埃格特森等,都曾从某个方面质疑产权残缺命题的科学性。更为重要的是,无论是从是否存在不受限制产权的角度,还是从是否存在完整产权的角度,抑或者是从产权残缺针对对象的角度,深入分析的结果都是一样的:产权残缺是个“伪命题”,即它是虚假的,其核心结论是不可靠的。因此,中国产权理论的创新势在必行。

The proposition of property rights attenuation is very popular when people analyse reform of China’s property rights institutions, but few people notice its falsehood nature. We can find by a simple review of the proposition that its key concepts are logically conflicting with each other, its implicit view about the efficiency of private property rights is absolute, its analysis about the reason of attenuation of property rights is self-contradictory. Furthermore, its main contributors all doubted the scientificalness of the theory. More importantly, the analytic outcomes are same:attenuation of property rights is a "false proposition",that is, it is false, and its core conclusion is unreliable, whether from perspective of the existence of unrestricted and complete property rights, or from perspective of object of attenuation of property rights. Therefore, the innovation of China’s property rights theory is imperative.
