摘要
发展经济学在二战后半个多世纪的发展中经历了一个由盛而衰的过程。对于发展经济学未来的发展取向 ,人们提出了许多不同的见解。然而 ,所有这些见解看来都忽略了两个极其重要的方面 :第一 ,发展经济学如何建立自己的理论统一性 ;第二 ,假定实现了理论上、方法上的统一性 ,发展经济学如何建立自己的经验基础。文章的主要目的在于引入重建发展经济学的一个新方向 ,其两个基本观点是 :第一 ,发展经济学应当并且能够在增长理论的基础上重建 ,也就是说 ,发展经济学可以作为增长经济学的一个应用学科来建立。从形式化分析的角度 ,发展问题可以作为一类特殊的增长问题来处理。这样 ,发展经济学的理论统一性问题便可以获得解决。第二 ,发展经济学的重建可以以东亚的发展经验作为参照 ,因为东亚提供了二战后发展中国家通过与发达国家的对外贸易实现了成功的经济发展的相对完整的经验。作者以增长理论作为框架 ,以东亚经验作为参照 ,提出了重建发展经济学的一个初步纲要。
In the postwar period,development economics has undergone a process of ups and downs.With regard to the orientation of its future development,there have emerged many different opinions.However,it seems that two extremely important aspects have been generally overlooked:1.) how the theoretical unity in development economics should be achieved; and 2.) given the unity in theory and methodology,how the empirical basis of development economics should be built.This paper aims to introduce a new approach for rebuilding development economics.We hold two basic viewpoints.In the first place, development economics should be,and could be,rebuilt on the basis of growth theory,that is,development economics can be built as an applied subdiscipline of growth economics.From the perspective of formal analysis,development problems can be taken as a special category of growth problems.Thus,the issue of the theoretical unity in development economics can be solved.In the second place,the rebuilding of development economics can take the development experience of East Asia as an empirical reference.East Asia offers a relatively complete experience of successful economic development through trade with developed countries in the period after World War II.By means of this approach,we hope to put forward a preliminary scheme to rebuild development economics,taking growth theory as a framework and the East Asian experience as an empirical reference.
