文化力向经济力转化的路径依赖与制度创新——基于西部民族地区的分析

以西部民族地区为对象,采用路径依赖理论分析文化力向经济力转化的过程,发现这种转化过程存在强制性制度变迁的路径依赖,其在短期内存在着受益递增的制度绩效,但是从长远看会朝着非绩效方向发展并最终“闭锁”在某种无效率的状态中。因此,制度创新的重心应放在教育投入、文化网络建设和传统文化资源的保护上。

Path dependence and institutional innovation of the transformation from cultural force to economic force

Based on minority nationality areas in the west, this paper uses the path dependence theory to analyze the trans- formation process from cultural force to economic force, reveals that the path dependence of mandatory institutional change exists in the transformation from cultural force to economic force in the area and that this mandatory institutional change has the institutional performance of gradual increase of benefit in the short term and will develop in the direction of non--performance in long--term angle and, in the end, will be closed in the status of non--efficiency. Thus, the focus of institutional innovation should be put on educational investment, cultural network construction and traditional cultural resources protection.
