摘要
西方新制度经济学无疑是当今最令人瞩目的经济学分支之一,从某种程度上讲,它已经渐进地融入主流经济学。追根溯源,它是对德国历史学派、美国制度主义的继承和发展。新、老制度经济学派都把制度纳入其研究对象,但到目前为止,它们在经济思想史中的地位却迥然不同。新、老制度经济学的共性在于,都对正统经济学持批判态度,其基本方法论都是多种"主义"的融合。老制度经济学的基本方法论是历史主义、本能主义、进化主义、实用主义、集体主义和整体主义的融合,还包括个体主义的成分;新制度经济学的基本方法论是制度主义、个人主义、功利主义和自由主义的融合,又受到历史和辩证唯物主义的影响乃至有回归进化主义的倾向。新制度经济学,宛如一个大集合或是大熔炉,集众家之长,把利己的东西都融合在一起,可称得上是各种经济学派的融合体。新制度经济学的基本方法论和理论假设与主流经济学趋同是它兴起的根本原因。
It is no doubt that new institutional economics (NIE) is one of the most compelling economic schools, and in fact it inherited and developed German historic school and American institutionalism (OIE). Both NIE and OIE study the institutions, but they achieve different performance. Dealing with the basic methodologies of OIE and NIE, what they share is that they both criticize the neo-classic economics and their methodologies syncretize many philosophical ideas. OIE is the syncretism of historianism, Darwinism, instinct psychology, pragmatism and collectivism, as well as a little bit of individualism and liberalism. On the other hand, NIE is the syncretism of institutionalism, individualism, Benthamism and liberalism, somewhat influenced by historical and dialectic materialism. Just like a big set, NIE syncretizes many ideas of different schools, and the basic reason for its rise is that its methodology and assumption go along with main-stream economics.
