论消费成本——消费研究与政策的新视野

Talk about Consuming Cost——The new visual angle of Consuming research and the policy

在整个消费中,无一不涉及消费成本问题。但对消费成本在理论上却还没有十分明确与恰当的认识。将消费成本定义为"购买商品后在消费(使用)中所支付的一切费用及代价",由此,探讨其界定、形成、构成、特点、有关变动规律和对消费及其研究与政策的作用。如此等等,对于资源利用的提高、社会福利的增进、消费需求的扩大,社会经济中的任何一方,都是具有不可忽视的意义的。

In the whole consumption, all involve consuming cost, but there is not a clear understanding and appropriate in theory. Consuming cost define for' all expenses and cost in consuming(using) after buying the goods', therefore, probe into its defining, forming, construction, characteristic, regular change, to the function of consuming etc. It all have meaning that can't be ignored.
