论交易费用与水权制度创新

现行水权制度的内在缺陷导致了高昂的交易费用,表现在水权配置的过度行政性导致高昂的信息成本和＂公用地悲剧＂,水资源使用权的弱流动性导致水权配置的市场失灵,水资源管理权的分割性导致高昂的协调成本。需要创新水权制度,进一步明确政府作为＂裁判员＂的角色定位——初始水权的配置者、水权制度的供给者、水事活动的监督者,构建可交易的水权制度,建立以水资源统一管理为核心的水权管理制度。

Study on the Transaction Cost and Water Rights Institution Innovation

The internal defects of current institution of water rights lead to high transaction costs.It shows that excessively administrative configuration of water rights leads to high information cost and ＂tragedy of the commons＂,the weak liquidity of the using right of the water resources leads to the market failure of the configuration of water rights,and the division of the management right of water resources leas to high cost for coordination.It is necessary for the institution of water rights to be innovated： further definite clearly the role positioning of the government as a ＂referee＂——the configuration subject of the initial water rights,the supplier of institution of water rights,the regulator of water matter activity,constructing tradable institution of water rights and constructing the water rights management institution in which the unified management of water resources is the core.
