重新解读软预算约束--兼论转轨经济中的软预算约束问题

“软预算约束”是科尔奈在分析社会主义经济时提出的一个概念。最初科尔奈用它来描述社会主义经济以短缺为标志的一些行为，但现在软预算约束概念已广泛应用于转轨经济学领域。虽然关于软预算约束已经有很多的文献，并在一些问题上达成了共识，但是，到目前为止，理论界在诸如软预算约束概念的界定、产生的原因及其相应的对策等问题上仍然存在着争论。基于此，我们认为，在对已有文献进行全面梳理，并立足于转轨经济实践的基础上，厘清软预算约束的来龙去脉是十分重要的，因为不同的理论观点在如何消除软预算约束的政策结论上是完全不同的。

Reviewing the Soft Budget Constraint--A Discussion of the Soft Budget Constraint in Transition Economies

Kornai firstly presented the soft budget constraint(SBC)when he studied the socialist economies.At first,Kornai only paid attention to some behaviors in socialist economies,but now the soft budget constraint has been applied to transition economies.There have been many literatures about SBC,it has reached consensus on many issues,also there are many controversies.For instance,concept definition,causation and counertmeasures about SBC,etc.So we think it is very important to understand the SBC on the basis of literature and reform' s practice,for different theories have absolute different strategies about how to avoid the SBC.
