垄断契约、专用资产与弱势契约主体行为研究——来自烟草种植业的经验数据

通过考察三个乡村的烟草种植业的一个典型契约,发现新制度经济学中的平等自由地签订契约的假设在这里受到了巨大的挑战。我们放松假设,通过对事实上的垄断契约下的弱势契约方的行为分析得出,农民的天然弱势地位决定了只靠农民自身无法签订平等契约,需要借助内部的联合和外力的干预成立经济联合组织才能最大限度实现契约的公平和有效性。

A Study of Contract Behavior Between Monopolized Contract,Special-purpose Assets and Weak Contract Body

The hypothesis of signing a contract on the basis of equality and freedom in the New Institutional Economics meets gigantic challenges in the backward rural areas in China.The fact that the peasants in China are in a weak position determines that they have great difficulty in signing an equal contract all by themselves.Under the actual monopolized contracts,the justice and validity can only be achieved to the maximum by setting up joint economic associations with the help of internal combination as well as outside force.As a result,the three-side economic entity including the company,peasants and government proves to be the most efficient one.
