弗利的古典-马克思理论视角下的中国增长与分配——一种阐释与比较
江啸,戴霖杉
摘要(Abstract):
本文介绍了邓肯·弗利对政治经济学所做的一项重要贡献——构建了古典政治经济学传统下的增长与分配模型框架。这一框架提供了一种与西方主流新古典理论截然不同的理解和研究经济长期增长模式的理论范式。在构建描述增长与分配关系的具体模型时,弗利引入了马克思技术进步推动资本不断取代劳动的假设,从而提出了古典-马克思增长模型。本文将应用这一模型来解释中国长期增长过程中工资率上升同时利润率下降这一现象出现的原因,还将利用此模型得出的结果与新古典(索洛-斯旺)框架下的结果进行比较,并指出二者之间的差异体现了两种理论看待经济增长的不同视角。

- (1)这事实上构成了中美经济的主要区别,尽管两个经济体都经历了相同类型的技术变革(马克思偏向型的技术变革),但是美国工资率的增长幅度并没有与其生产率增长相匹配,因此美国的利润份额反而上升了,观察到的利润率也没有下降。
- (1)采用柯布-道格拉斯生产函数的索洛-斯旺增长模型具有一些独特的、令人难以置信的特点。柯布-道格拉斯生产函数下的等产量曲线无限渐进于投入轴,这意味着在一定的限度内,企业可以投入生产要素的任意小量进行生产。
- (1)从技术上说,在这一模型中,全要素生产率是资本生产率与劳动生产率的加权平均值,权重为它们在收入中所占的份额。
