ECONOMIC AND OTHER IDEAS BEHIND THE NEW ZEALAND REFORMS
梳理了新西兰1984年后经历的三阶段市场自由化改革，分析其背后的新古典经济学和公共选择理论，并评估实施策略与效果。
Following the election of a Labour government in 1984, the New Zealand economy went through probably the most extensive market liberalization of any OECD country. It was in three broad phases: the increased use of the market mechanism to regulate business; reforms of the state sector; and reform of the welfare and related (including labor market) systems. The reforms were consciously based on theories which have become prominent in recent years, including neoclassical economic theory and public-choice theory. As well as describing those which were used, and their practical application, the article assesses the associated implementation strategy. Evaluation is difficult, not least because poor macroeconomic performance, probably due to faulty economic management, has swamped any benefits from the microeconomic changes. It would also seem that the commitment that the implementation required meant there was only limited means of recognizing and correcting faulty policy proposals.
