摘　　要：文章运用现代契约理论和历史制度分析方法,对明清晋商经营组织方式从"朋合制"到"合伙制"的演变进行了深入的分析。研究表明,导致"合伙制"替代"朋合制"成为晋商主要经营组织方式的原因在于:晋商的社群主义文化传统,使其得以建立起比较完善的"私人惩罚机制",可以通过"道德自责"和"违规制裁"两种途径对违约者施加有效的"私人惩罚"。这种有效的"私人惩罚机制"保证了"法律约束"缺失情况下不完全契约的自我履行,也为晋商"合伙制"的发展,提供了深厚的文化背景和坚实的制度保障。In this paper, the modern contract theory and historical institutional analysis method are used to analyze the evolution of the management mode of Shanxi Traders from＂friend cooperation＂to＂partnership＂in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Research shows the reason for＂partnership＂replacing＂friend cooperation＂is that Shanxi communitarian cultural tradition helped to establish a relatively perfect ＂private punishment mechanism＂, and＂private punishment＂was imposed on violators through＂moral remorse＂and＂sanction＂. This effective＂private punishment mechanism＂ensures the self-enforcement of incomplete contract even if there was no law at that time, and it also provides a profound cultural background and solid guarantee for the development of the＂partnership＂.
