摘　　要：科斯将“交易费用”概念引入经济分析 ,从而开创了企业理论的先河。科斯认为 ,企业和市场是两种不同的可以相互替代的资源配置方式 ;企业之所以存在 ,是因为它可以节约交易费用 ;企业的边界也是由交易费用决定的。科斯的理论发现源于他要“分析真实世界里发生的事情” ,因而他十分强调理论假设的真实性。Coase introduced the concept of transaction costs into economic analysis and pioneered the Theory of the FirmCoase points out that firms and market are alternative methods of resource allocationAccording to Coase’s analysis,the reason why it is profitable to establish a firm is that it can reduce transaction costs,and the boundaries of the firm is also determined by transaction costsCoase’s theory results from his pursuit of analyzing what is happening in the real worldCoase stresses the realism of assumptions of economic theory
