The major task of DE is to explore the possibilities of emancipation from poverty for developing economies (Yujiro Hayami, 2001).

9、发展经济学形成。Capital accumulation, as the necessary requirement, was the central focus of the models. The Harrod-Domar equation, although originally formulated for conditions of full growth in an industrial economy, was applied to estimate capital requirements in developing countries. Other early models

10、of development strategy also featured capitalaccumulation: Rostows stages of growth, 1.Traditional society 2.Preconditions for take-off 3.Take-off 4.Drive to maturity 5.Age of High mass consumption Nurkses balanced growth, The theory hypotheses that the government of any underdeveloped country needs

11、 to make large investments in a number of industries simultaneously. This would consequently enlarge the market size and provide an incentive for the private sector to invest.Rosenstein-Rodans external economies and big push,This theory is an investment theory which stresses the conditions of take-o

12、ff. The argumentation is quite similar to the balanced growth theory but emphasis is put on the need for a big push. The investments should be of a relatively high minimum in order to reap the benefits of external economies. Only investments in big complexes will result in social benefits exceeding

13、social costs. High priority is given to infrastruc-tural development and industry, and this emphasis will lead to governmental development planning and influence.Lewiss unlimited supply of labor and dual-sector modelThe process of economic growth is inextricably linked to the growth of capitalist su

14、rplus, that is as long as the the capitalist surplus increases, the national income also increases raising the growth of the economy. The increase in capitalist surplus is linked to the use of more and more labor which is assumed to be in surplus in case of this model. This process of capital accumu

15、lation does come to an end at some point. This point is where capital accumulation catches up with population so that there is no longer any surplus labor left.Prebisch-Myrdal-Singer hypotheses about terms of trade and import substitutionThe thesis postulates that terms of trade, between primary pro

16、ducts and manufactured goods, deteriorate in time. Countries that export commodities (developing countries) in time would import fewer manufactured goods relative to a given level of exports.Leibensteins critical minimum effort thesis,Critical minimum effort theory is one of the balanced growth theo

17、ries. It talks about how a minimum amount of push is required by an economy for it to be set on the path of development. This push can be in the form of investments. The minimum amount of effort that is required is critical for the economy to move towards development hence this theory is called crit

18、ical minimum effort. Because of the high population in underdeveloped countries the capital accumulation and labour supply are not sufficient to increase the per capita income.Chenerys two-gap model.Two-gap model (Two-gap Model), is the developing countries to achieve the savings gap and foreign exc

19、hange gaps in the theory of the equilibrium model. The model is through the use of external resources in developing countries, to play the role of government in the same time, adjustment of domestic economic structure to adapt to the introduction of external resources. It reflects the introduction o

20、f external resources in developing countries, for easing the scarcity of domestic resources is important. Two-gap model of the basic equation: I-S = M-X I-S is the difference between investment and savings, known as the savings gap M-X is the difference between imports and exports, known as the fore

21、ign exchange gap adjusted for the purpose of each variable is to balance the equation.A.Hirschman, Strategy of Economic Development (1958). Unbalanced growthContrary to the theory of balanced growth, in Hirschmans opinion, the real bottleneck is not the shortage of capital, but lack of entrepreneuri

22、al abilities. Potential entrepreneurs are hindered in their decision-making by institutional factors: either group considerations play a -great role and hinder the potential entrepreneur, or entrepreneurs aim at personal gains at the cost of others and are thus equally detrimental to development. In

23、 view of the lack of enterpreneurial abilities there is a need for a mechanism of incentive and pressure which will automatically result in the required decisions. According to Hirschman, not a balanced growth should be aimed at, but rather existing imbalances whose symptoms are profit and lossesmus

24、t be maintained. Investments should not be spread evenly but concentrated in such projects in which they cause additional investments because of their backward and forward linkages without being too demanding on entrepreneurial abilities. Manufacturing industries and import substitutions are relevan

25、t examples. These first investments initiate further investments which are made by less qualified entrepreneurs. Thus, the strategy overcomes the bottleneck of entrepreneurial ability. The theory gives no hints as to how the attitude of entrepreneurs and their institutional influence will be changed

It was increasinglyrecognized that development depended on productive human agentswho, through thei

30、r acquisition of knowledge, better health and nutrition,and increase in skills, could raise total factor productivity.（4）70年代至80年代，新古典经济学的重新崛起：对政策导致的市场扭曲的批评，对非市场失灵的批评，对政府控制的批评，from “get prices right” to “get policies right”, 市场、价格、激励成为主题。内向型发展战略转向外向型（出口导向性）战略，价格稳定和控制通货膨胀成为首选目标，大力推进国有企业的私有化。注意到发展中国家之

31、间的差异性，总体增长模型被国别的微观化模型所取代，国别的研究和经验研究受到越来越多的重视，新古典经济学的基本原理被应用到发展中国家的政策研究。老发展经济学家是不承认新古典经济学可以用于发展中国家，而新发展经济学家不仅认为新古典经济学可以用于发展中国家，而且认为发展经济学不能成为一个专门的学科。If the first generation of development economists was visionary anddedicated to grand theories and general strategies, the second generationwas almost mo

32、ralistic, dedicated to a somber realism grounded onfundamental principles of neoclassical economics. Harberger could sayto the governments of developing countries, Economics is good foryou-and by economics, he meant neoclassical analysis as the basisfor policymaking (Harberger 1993).Once it is recognized that individ
