补偿机制在推行经济体制改革中作用

政府无法满足改革中失利群体的补偿要求是改革受阻的主要原因。失利群体通常具有有关政府行为和政府补偿扭曲的私人信息,而政府通常无法掌握失利者群体的私人信息。因而,政府通常很难找到最优办法来补偿经济体制改革中的失利者。当经济体制改革是连贯的,且政府是根据失利者群体的意愿进行补偿时,第一轮改革时的政府补偿有利于阻止第二轮改革时的失利者群体组织起来阻止改革,因而有利于推进改革。尽管政府把握失利者群体的私人信息,但政府对改革失利方的补偿机制不可行,则再好的改革也无法进行下去。

The Role of Compensation Mechanism in Economic Restructuring

The main obstruction of the restructuring is that the government fails to meet the demands for compensation of disadvantaged groups in the restructuring. The government fails to obtain their personal information; consequently, the government has difficulty finding the best way to compensate the disadvantaged in economic restructuring. The governmental compensation in the first round of restructuring helps prevent the disadvantaged groups in the second round from stopping it, promoting the whole restructuring. Without a feasible compensation mechanism, the government could not carry on the restructuring even with the personal information of disadvantaged groups.
