国外学者关于二元经济理论的研究综述

由古典经济学家创立的二元经济理论经新古典经济学家修正后得以完善。二元经济理论表明,农业和工业部门在生产率、资本积累和技术进步方面的差异直接导致了城乡经济状态的差异。新世纪以来,众多学者采用新兴研究方法对二元经济理论予以拓展,并以此为依托深入研究农业与工业的关系、就业与经济增长等问题。结合发展中国家劳动力就业的现状,研究加入服务业后的三部门的经济增长与发展是二元经济理论未来的方向所在。

Studies on the Dual Economy Theory: a Review

The dual economy theory advanced by classical economists has been consummated by neo-classical economists. They argue that the difference between agriculture and industry in labor productivity, capital accumulation and technology progress directly leads to the disparity between rural and urban economic state. Many researchers introduce new approaches to extend it deeply. The relationship between agriculture and industry, employment and economic growth is covered by dual economy theory. However, the traditional dual economy ignores the service sector. It is expected that it will become the future research direction of the dual economy theory to observe and study the reality of employment in the developing countries, the economic increase and development of the three sectors (i.e., industry, agriculture and service industry).
