在最近一期《生态经济学》特刊(Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen供稿,第22卷,第3期,1997年)中,有两个关键问题没有得到充分阐述:(i)生产函数中替代的操作意义;(ii)技术改进对资源利用的影响。在这篇文章中,我们研究这两个问题的基础上:(一)Georgescu-Roegen的概念化的生产过程;(二)杰文斯的悖论。新古典生产函数,无论是对单个企业还是对总体经济,都假定任何因素都可以被任何其他因素替代(除了固定系数和/或存在限制因素的情况)。这一假设的含义是,任何要素投入的增加总是会导致产出的增加。这是索洛的论点的基础,即“世界实际上可以在没有自然资源的情况下沿着”(索洛,1974年)。
There are two key issues which are not fully elaborated in the papers in a recent special issue of Ecological Economics (The contribution of Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, Vol. 22, No. 3, 1997):(i) the operational meaning of substitution in production function; and (ii) the effect of technological improvement on resource utilization. In this piece we examine these two issues based on:(i) Georgescu-Roegen’s conceptualization of production process; and (ii) Jevons’ paradox. Neoclassical production functions, whether for individual firms or the aggregate economy, assume that any factor can always be substituted for any other factor (except the cases of fixed coefficients and/or the existence of limitational factors). The implication or entailment of this assumption is that an increase in the input of any factor always yields an increase in output. This is the basis for Solow’s contention that ‘‘[t] he world can, in effect, get along without natural resources’’(Solow, 1974).
