摘要
诺思的国家悖论被经济学家所熟悉,而他用交易费用分析制度变迁时的悖论却很少被人们所注意。诺思认为交易费用下降是经济增长的源泉,经济制度的变迁是为了节约交易费用。同时,诺思也指出长期中交易费用是在不断增长。这种短期内交易费用的下降和长期内的增长构成诺思的又一悖论———诺思第二悖论。诺思第二悖论不仅仅是诺思的悖论,也是新制度经济学关于制度变迁分析范式的悖论。对制度变迁的分析。
North paradox'about nation is wellknown while his another paradox about analyzing institutional transition with transaction cost has been neglectedNorth held that the descent of transaction cost is the source of economic growth,while the transition of institution is to reduce transaction costHe pointed out at the same time that transaction cost in the long run is always mounting upThe descent of transaction cost in the short run and growth in the long run constitutes another paradox of North's—the second North Paradox,which is not only North Paradox,but also an analyzing paradigm paradox about institutional transition employed by new institutional economicsWe need to have new choice and new ideas to analyse institutional transition
