When the History of Ideas Meets Theory
研究了阿瑟·刘易斯如何借鉴和改造古典概念来构建其发展理论,并将其1954年模型与同时期其他增长模型进行对比,探讨经济思想史在刘易斯研究中的启发作用。
This article examines how Arthur Lewis adopted and adapted classical concepts in his approach to development. The Lewis 1954 model is set in the context of other growth and development models put forward at the time by Roy Harrod, Evsey Domar, Trevor Swan, Nicholas Kaldor, Robert Solow, Ragnar Nurkse, Paul Rosenstein-Rodan, and Hla Myint. The heuristic role of the history of economic thought in Lewis’s works is discussed, as well as the influence of his London School of Economics background.
