Positions and Roles of Law and Institutions in Economics

我们的研究项目的主要目的是分析法律和制度在经济学中的地位和作用，在这三年里，我们明确了以下几点。为了提供一个方便的主次源数据库，开发一种新的协同使用的应用软件是必不可少的。作为经济科学的基本前提的财产概念的历史，有三个不同的阶段；从原始工业化到约翰·洛克的时代，从亚当·斯密到19世纪后期，特别是公司和工会普遍化的时代，以及一般公司国家系统化后的时代。19世纪以来经济与法律之间的关系，一方面可以看作是财产制度被扩展的过程，另一方面，通过形成新的政治和宪法框架，扩大的所有权被合法化。分析当代社会制度的尝试，如果不能成功地对主流制度进行历史性的重组，并对其累积结构进行识别，就会产生一种极其抽象和贫瘠的模式，无法提供有效的建议；它没有考虑到持续经营企业内部和之间交易的正确含义。

Our research project, the main purpose of which is to analyze the positions and roles of law and institution in economics, has made the followings clear for these three years.1.In order to provide a convenient data base of the prime and secondary sources, it is indispensable to develop a new application soft for collaborate use.2.In the history of the conceptions of the property which is a fundamental presupposition of economic science, there are three distinct phases ; the age from the proto-industrialization to John Lock, the age from Adam Smith to the late nineteenth century, especially to the generalization of corporation and trade union, and the age after the systematization of the general Corporate State.3.The relationships between economics and law from the nineteenth century onward can be seen as the process through which the property systems were being extended on one hand, and the enlarged ownership were being-made legal by the shaping of new political and constitutional framework on the other.4.Unless the attempt to analyze the institutions of the contemporary society succeeds in the historical recomposing of the prevailing institutions and the indentification of their cumulative structures, it will result in an extremely abstract and barren model, and be unable to offer an effective proposal ; it fails to take account of the proper meanings of transactions both inside and between going-concerns.
