很多人认为科斯在《社会成本问题》一文中提出的“损害具有相互性本质”这个观点很新奇,也很有价值,这不仅是因为它颠覆了传统的因果观念,还因为从该观念出发可以导向有效率的资源配置结果。本文对此提出了质疑,认为,只有在零交易成本的理想化世界中,资源在冲突用途之间的协调问题才可以转化为资源配置问题,此时,“损害具有相互性本质”这个观念才成立,否则,问题就只能基于私有产权和自由协商来解决,而这也意味着此时该观念就不再具有适用性了。 Many people think that the notion that “the harm is of a reciprocal nature” put forward by Coase in his article “Problems of Social Costs” is novel and valuable, not only because it subverts traditional notions of causality but also because, Departure can lead to efficient resource allocation results. In this paper, we put forward the following question: Only in the ideal world of zero transaction cost, the coordination problem of resources in conflicting uses can be transformed into the problem of resource allocation. At this moment, the “harm to the nature of reciprocity” The notion holds, or the problem can only be solved on the basis of private property rights and free negotiation, which means that the concept is no longer applicable at this time.
