摘要: 本文对2024年诺贝尔经济学奖得主Acemoglu、Johnson和Robinson(AJR)的研究贡献进行系统评析,探讨了AJR关于殖民制度对经济发展影响的研究及其现实启示。文章首先介绍了三位学者的学术背景与研究特点,重点分析了他们在制度经济学领域的突破性贡献,即AJR通过“自然实验”方法揭示了制度对经济发展的深远影响:制度移植的成功取决于本土条件,不同地区对同样的制度安排会产生不同的反应。文章还探讨了AJR研究对政治经济学的影响,尤其关注其与马克思主义政治经济学在理论观点上的异同之处。研究指出,制度借鉴和创新的关键在于发展中国家要在借鉴国际经验时充分考虑本土文化传统、制度环境和发展阶段,走出一条具有自身特色的发展道路。

Abstract: This paper provides a systematic review of the research contributions by the 2024 Nobel laureates in Economics-Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson (AJR). From the perspective of whether external experiences can guide domestic development, it examines AJR’s research on how colonial institutions affect economic development and its practical implications. The paper first introduces the academic background and research characteristics of the three scholars, focusing on their breakthrough contributions to institutional economics. While AJR’s “natural experiment” approach confirms the significant impact of institutions on economic development, their theory shows limitations when applied to non-colonial countries. The paper also explores AJR’s profound influence on political economics, particularly examining its theoretical resonance and divergence with Marxist political economics. The study demonstrates that the effectiveness of institutional transplantation depends on local conditions, suggesting that developing countries should forge their own development paths based on national conditions while learning from international experiences.

Key words: institutional economics, colonial origins, economic development, political economics
