内容提要 | 经济学正在迅速地走向实验化。经过半个多世纪的发展,实验经济学不仅为经济科学增添了前所未有的经验内容,而且在经济学界掀起一股理论创新的浪潮。本文首先高度精炼地概括了实验经济学取得的五大成就,而后对实验经济学家围绕这些经验发现展开的三条理论构建路径进行了评价。我们发现,实验经济学家的理论努力在整合既有的实验发现上甚为勉强。我们认为,这种局面出现与实验经济学家在处理行为模型与社会秩序理论上顾此失彼脱不开干系。也正是在统合行为与社会秩序理论这一点上,我们发现回到经济学诞生之初极具启发意义。结合思想史领域中的斯密复兴运动,本文从斯密的行为与社会秩序理论切入,考察了未来整合各种实验证据的可能进路。 |
Abstract | The process of experimentation in economics is growing fast and fast. At present, economists have come to increasingly rely on experiments to explain and predict economic phenomenon. This paper highly summarized the empirical breakthroughs achieved by experimental economists, and then evaluated the three theoretical approaches they exert to synthesize the empirical findings. We argued that none of the three theoretical approaches could integrate all the empirical findings because none of them could attend to one thing without losing sight of the other when dealing with the theory of behavior and social order. We also argued that the theory Adam Smith elaborated in The Theory of Moral Sentiments shed a valuable light on how to construct an integrative behavior and social order theory in the future. |
