摘要
近期关于工业革命与大分流的文献主要强调几个方面:地理条件、人力资本、制度和国际贸易。但我们认为这些都不是最根本的原因,我们认为社会文化背景的差异是形成分流的最根本原因。本文建立两部门模型模拟1750～1850年期间英国和中国的经济特征并分析比较这些因素,以此证明我们的设想。
Recently published research on the Great Divergence mainly focuses on geography,human capital,and international trade.However,we do not be- lieve these are the most basic reasons,instead,we recommend that the'cuhur- at/social ambience'of a country or a region is the most fundamental reason.This paper describes a model to analyze and compare these factors.This model is able to prove our guess/inference that the most basic reason for the Great Divergence lies in this cultural ambience.This paper mainly based on a two-sector benchmark mod- el to simulate economic characteristics of England and Yangzi Delta of China dur- ing 1750-1850,explores aspects of this period transition.
