Research On The Reform Of State-owned Assets Management System From The Perspective Of Institutional Evolution

The economic centers of the world are often also high ground for academic thought.If a country does not have its own economic theory as a guide,it is difficult to join and stand in the world of great powers.The General Secretary Xi’s important discussion on building an independent knowledge system and philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics provides a fundamental basis for the further development of socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics.Managing state-owned assets and improving the state-owned assets management system are vital to the future of the country and the fundamental interests of the whole people.The experience and theories summarized and refined from them are an important part of the socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics.For the reform of China’s state-owned assets management system,there is no model to copy,and the corresponding arrangements and methods will not be permanent.The theoretical research and practical exploration of reform should keep pace with The Times.The reform process of state-owned assets management system contains a history of institutional evolution.The scientific logic of Marx and Engels’ thoughts on institution and institutional evolution is based on history.Introducing their thoughts into the research of state-owned assets management system reform is helpful to explore the causal chain between system arrangement and policy effect,which is of great significance for both theoretical construction and practical guidance.Under the principle of taking Marxism as guidance,Western economics as reference,national conditions as basis and innovating in inheritance,the whole research takes Marx and Engels’ thought of institution and institutional evolution as guidance,and North’s theory of institutional change as reference to dig into the problem of the reform of state-owned assets management system,and finally forms the following innovative views: The state-owned assets management system originates from the practice of material production and is the product of the contradictory movement of productive forces and production relations.Further speaking,the origin of the state-owned assets management system shows the establishment process of a specific institutional arrangement to continuously optimize productivity and consolidate public ownership under the realistic background of the primary stage of socialism,which is the realization of public ownership in the concrete operation level,and its essence is a relationship of interests;The reform of the state-owned assets management system shows the initiative and creativity of people,state-funded enterprises and state-owned assets management institutions as the subject of the system evolution.Among them,people are the fundamental subject,while state-funded enterprises and state-owned assets management institutions shape the direction of the system evolution at the inter-organizational interaction and game level;The reform of state-owned assets management system takes the development of productive forces as the fundamental driving force,the coordination of interest relations as the direct driving force,and immaterial factors as the auxiliary driving force;The reform of the state-owned assets management system follows the basic promotion ideas of adjusting production relations and the superstructure to adapt to the development of productive forces,and organically combining socialism with the market economy.The reform of the state-owned assets management system follows the specific promotion ideas of perfecting the subject setting,improving the subject utility function and its constraints,and improving the interest relationship between the subjects.The reform of state-owned assets management system has the implementation characteristics of the unification of compulsion and inducement,evolution and balance,leapfrog and stability.The reform of the state-owned assets management system has continued to improve the efficiency of state-owned assets management and safeguard the fundamental interests of the whole people through specific measures such as establishing a modern enterprise system,setting up the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission,and adjusting the focus of state-owned assets management to capital management.The argument and proposal of the above systematic views aims to provide impetus for the construction of our country’s independent economic knowledge system.The whole research takes the origin,essence and evolution of the state-owned assets management system as the starting point,the subjects,driving force,promoting ideas,implementation characteristics and specific measures of the state-owned assets management system reform as the main line,the proposal and application of systematic views as the end-result,reflecting a progressive and coherent connection relationship.Following the system origin view with material production practice as the core,we can further realize that conscious initiative is one of the basic characteristics of practice.The exercise of conscious initiative cannot be separated from the subject’s behavior and its inner driving force.Subject and driving power are the basic elements of the social communication system,and in this system,the adaptability law of production relations and productivity further determines that the reform needs to follow a certain idea of promotion,so as to ensure the continuous evolution of the system in the direction conducive to the development of productive forces and human progress.The reform practice needs to be implemented through concrete measures on the basis of following certain promotion ideas.At the same time,the analysis of concrete measures can show the test and application demonstration of theoretical viewpoints.The starting point of the whole research framework can touch the origin of the research object,and the main line of the research which is rooted in the historical materialism can run through the whole time,avoiding the separation of the starting point and the main line.The whole research framework can provide support for the final research conclusion with tight structure and strong scientific rationality.In summary,the entire thesis is divided into seven chapters,the basic content of each chapter is as follows:Chapter 1,the introduction.Starting from the research background and research significance,this part explores the research space through literature review,and then defines the related concepts and research scope,clarifies the research framework and methods,and introduces the innovation and shortcomings.This part is based on the theoretical and practical needs of deepening reform,focusing on the inheritance and innovation of Marxist theory,and clarifying the theoretical perspective of institutional evolution.Chapter 2,the origin,essence and evolution of state-owned assets management system.Based on Marx and Engels’ views on the origin of the system with material production practice as the core and the essence of the system with interest relationship as the core,as well as the suspicion of logical cycle in North’s thoughts on the origin and essence of the system,this part puts forward and proves that China’s state-owned assets management system originates from the material production practice,its formation shows the realization of public ownership in the concrete operation level,and its essence is a kind of interest relationship.At the same time,this part sorts out the evolution of the state-owned assets management system,which can lay a foundation for the subsequent research.Chapter 3,the subjects of state-owned assets management system reform.Guided by the important ideas such as history is nothing but the activities of people pursuing their own goals of Marx and Engels,and drawing on North’s idea that Organizations such as manufacturers and administrative agencies are the subjects of institutional change,this part discusses three important subjects of state-owned asset management system reform,namely people,state-funded enterprises and state-owned asset management institutions,and then puts forward a series of views such as people are the fundamental subject of the reform.Chapter 4,the driving force of state-owned assets management system reform.Based on the important ideas of Marx and Engels,such as the primary and secondary distinction between things at the material and ideological levels,the counteraction of superstructure on the economic foundation,and the limitations of North’s thought on the driving force of institutional change,this part analyzes the fundamental driving force,direct driving force and auxiliary driving force of state-owned assets management system reform.Chapter 5,the promoting ideas and implementation characteristics of the reform of state-owned assets management system.Rooted in Marx and Engels’ discussion of the system reform phenomenon of partial adjustment and self-perfection of production relations and corresponding superstructure while the dominant form of ownership has not undergone fundamental change,and selectively drawing on North’s thoughts on the path of institutional change,this part proposes and demonstrates the idea of promoting the reform of state-owned assets management system,which covers the content of adapting production relations to the development of productive forces,and the implementation characteristics of the reform such as the unification of compulsion and inducement.Chapter 6,the specific measures of state-owned assets management system reform.This part focuses on the landmark reform measures that promote the reform of state-owned assets management system from the old stage to the new stage,and analyzes the three specific measures from the three aspects of the proposal of reform measures,the internal mechanism and the reform effect by comprehensive use of evolutionary game and measurement analysis methods.The empirical part can provide evidence for the analysis results of mathematical models.The whole research process shows the test and application demonstration of the viewpoints obtained from the analysis in the previous chapters.Chapter 7,the conclusions and policy suggestions.This part integrates the research conclusions of each chapter,summarizes and puts forward the systematic views on the evolution of state-owned assets management system with Chinese characteristics,and provides policy suggestions for deepening reform by applying the conclusions.
