基于交易人员的广东省交易费用测算：1993-2002

利用Wallis和Noah关于经济体交易活动和转换活动的划分，将所有的从业人员分成交易人员和转换人员，将职工工资作为交易费用和转换费用，测算了广东省1993—2002年的交易费用水平。结论表明：交易费用随着经济增长而增长，经济越发达，交易费用比重越大，交易费用的增长并不妨碍经济增长；随着经济的增长，转换人员的比重不断下降，单位转换人员的效率不断提高；不同行业交易费用的平均增长速度差异较大，交易服务部门特别是信息交易服务中介行业发展迅速，而传统的工农业等行业交易人员和交易费用增长缓慢。

The Transaction Costs Measurement Based on Transaction Persons in Guangdong Province:1993-2002

Making use of Wallis and North＇ s article which divides the whole economy into two parts-transformation or production and transaction, this paper divides all staff and workers into transformation persons and transaction persons. Considering wages of staff and workers as transaction costs and transformation costs, this paper measures the transaction costs in Guangdong Province from 1993 to 2002. The conclusions indicate that the transaction costs grow as the economy grows-the more the economy devel- ops, the greater proportion the transaction costs is. Along with the economic growth, the proportion of transformation costs declines continuously, but the efficiency of transformation person unit increases. Besides, the average growth rate of transaction costs in different sectors is different. Transaction service seetors, especially information intermediary transaction service industry, develop rapidly. But in traditional industries such as agriculture and manufacturing, the transaction persons and transaction costs grow slowly.
