对企业节约交易成本论的一个新解释--论科斯的企业理论中企业与市场的相容性

科斯的企业理论从交易成本对市场组织分工的能力的影响角度,论证了企业的生产性功能,并由此出发对企业做出了有别于市场的定义。根据这一定义,我们可以从分工与市场规模的互为因果关系推导出市场与企业成长的相互促进性;而且结合科斯对“组织成本”的论述,我们也可以对企业的边界问题做出历史与逻辑相一致的解释。

A New Explanation of the Thrift Transaction Costs-based Theory of the Firm: On the Compatibility between the Market and the Firm of Coase's Theory

Departing from the effect of transaction costs on the market's capability of organizing the division of labor, Coase's theory demonstrates the producing function of the firm. On this base, we can deduce the inter-promoting relation between the market and the growth of the firm from the interplay between the division of labor and the scale of the market. Furthermore, banding with Coase's dissertation of the "organization costs", we can also explain the boundary of the firm with the coherence between the history and the logic.
