Endogenous Policy Theory: The Political Structure and Policy Formation
指出传统经济学将政策变量视为外生给定的做法脱离现实,主张政策与经济变量在政治经济结构中共同决定,适合关注政策内生性及政治经济互动的学者。
Models of economic systems involving government intervention by definition include some policy variables, or policy instruments, through which the policy in implemented. In general, economists have tended to view these variables as exogenously given. While convenient in dealing with some analytical problems, this attitude is not always adequate, as it abstracts from the realities of political-economic life. Evidently, economic policy is not independent of the economic structure, and policy variables are codetermined with endogenous economic variables within an integrated political-economic structure.
