分工演进、社会资本与产业集群--对产业集群的形成与发展机理的一个解释

新兴古典经济学文献认为,经济的发展是一个分工演进的过程.通过实证案例,我们认为集群的形成与发展同样是一个分工演进的过程.然而,分工的深化又受到交易效率的制约.于是,我们探讨了集群特有的社会资本对于提高交易效率、从而推动分工演进、促进集群发展这一作用的过程.因此,地方政府可以通过创造鼓励诚信、鼓励合作的制度环境,便于社会资本的积累,以促进集群的形成与发展.

Evolution of Labor Division, Social Capital and Industrial Clusters:An Explanation of the Forming and Developing Mechanisms for Industrial Clusters

The literature in neo-classic economics views t he economic development as a process of labor division evolution. According to s ome case studies, we hold that the formation and development of industry cluster s are a process of labor division evolution as well. However, the evolution of l abor division depends on the transactional efficiency. Thus, we explore the role s of social capital on improving transactional efficiency, promoting the evoluti on of labor division, and boosting industrial cluster development. As a result, local governments can advance the formation and development of industrial cluste rs via formulating institutions that encourage trust and cooperation and help th e accumulation of social capital.
