民族习惯与农村居民消费：一个实证分析

民族习惯和习俗不仅是一种重要的非正式制度安排，是一种无形的力量，影响农村居民消费行为。贵州是一个多民族，并且以少数民族为主的省区，民族习惯和习俗对少数民族的行为具有较大影响。从某种程度上讲，少数民族生活在习惯和习俗的世界里，特别农村居民受习惯、习俗的影响更大，民族习惯、习俗作为一种无形的力量，影响了农村居民的居住、饮食、衣着等行为。以贵州农村居民为研究样本，采用1978年至2009年的统计资料，运用消费习惯模型，对农村居民饮食、居住、衣着、交通通讯、教育及文化娱乐、家庭设备用品及服务、医疗等消费行为进行了计量研究，农村居民的消费主要受滞后一期和农村居民人均纯收入两个因素影响。

National Habits and Rural Consumption:An Empirical Study

National habits and customs are not merely an arranged informal system, but also a sort of shape-less force, affecting rural residents＇ consuming behavior. Guizhou is a multi - ethnic province with a dominant force from the ethnic minorities. The ethnic habits and customs exert quite big impact on their behaviors. In a certain sense, ethnic minoritiesin those areas with formed habits and customs, especially in the rural areas, ex-perience greater impact. The ethnic habits and customs as a shapeless force influence the rural people in their lif-estyle, food, clothing and the like. The present paper takes the statistic data from 1978 to 2009 related to the ru- ral people in Guizhou for a quantitative study of the influence on their behaviors for food, life, clothing, commu- nication, education, recreation, family facilities and service, medicare and the like based on consumption habits models. The study finds that the consumption of the rural people there is related to two factors ： the lagged behind social environment and the average net income of the rural people.
