摘　　要：当代中国的经济实践表明,中等收入经济体面临着不同于低收入阶段的发展问题,迫切要求发展经济学探索不同于低收入阶段的发展动力和发展机制。然而,既有的发展经济学理论都是以低收入经济体为研究对象,摆脱贫困陷阱、实现经济起飞的理论分析与政策建议大多不再适用于中等收入阶段的经济发展。本文试图凝炼发展经济学研究范式,并由此界定和解析中等收入阶段经济发展的基本问题,力图在中等收入阶段客观存在的问题逻辑、经济学的认识逻辑与发展经济学研究范式三者融合中,阐述中等收入阶段发展经济学的理论逻辑、基本架构与研究任务。这种探索以中国为典型样本,但研究对象不限于中国;它是依赖并且超越实证经验的理论建构,是一个不断试错与修正的认识过程。As a large developing country, contemporary China has access to a great deal of empirical evidence from its 70-year process of development, by which theories of development economics can be tested or confirmed. The experience of China s development has also enabled a theoretical evolution of development economics. In recent years, China s economic growth has slowed, and its structure has become unbalanced. The essence of this change is that after the economy moved from a low-income to a middle-income stage, significant changes appeared in the external development environment, in the structure of factor endowments, and the structure of social demand. The supply structure formed at the low-income stage is no longer adapted to the social needs of the middle-income stage, and the driving force for economic development at the low-income stage is no longer suitable for the new stage of economic development. Middle-income economies face developmental problems and tasks that differ from those encountered at the low-income stage. Therefore, the contemporary shifts in the Chinese economy urgently require that development economists analyze the “pathology” of the middle-income trap. However, the currently existing theories of development economics are all aimed at low-income economies. Most of the theoretical analyses and policy suggestions for how to escape the poverty trap and achieve economic take-off are no longer applicable to the needs or the economic practices encountered in middle-income economies such as China. Clearly, the theory of development economics must be innovative if it is to meet these new challenges. As development economics is a branch of economics, the theoretical construction of this sub-discipline conforms to the cognitive logic and the research paradigm of economics in general. This paper attempts to summarize the paradigm of development economics, and then to define and analyze the basic issues of economic development in the middle-income stage. We explore the theoretical logic, the basic stru
