内生增长理论：综合分析与简要评价

20世纪80年代中期以来,罗默、卢卡斯等经济学家在汲取前人经济增长思想的基础上,通过对新古典增长理论进行重新思考建立了内生增长理论.内生增长理论对规模收益递增、外溢效应、专业化人力资本积累等的强调,是对传统经济增长理论的重大突破.内生增长理论不仅能较好地解释一些经济增长事实,而且其丰富的政策内涵对各国长期增长政策的制定和运用也有一定的参考价值.但不可否认,内生增长理论在理论框架、生产函数、分析方法等方面仍存在一些缺陷与不足,有待进一步完善与发展.

A Comprehensive Analysis and Brief Comment on the Endogenous Growth Theory

Since the middle of 1980s some economists, with Romer and Lucas as the representatives, have established the endogenous growth theory on the basis of the economic growth ideas of the former predecessors through a fresh reflection on the neo-classical growth theory. This theory, with its emphasis on the increasing of returns in scale, spillover effect and accumulation of specialized human capital, is a great breakthrough in the traditional economic growth theories. It not only made it possible to explain some facts of economic growth, but had a certain reference value for every country to design their long-term increasing policies. However, the endogenous growth theory still possesses some defects and therefore demands further development in such aspects as the theoretical frame, production function, and analysis method.
