项目摘要

The objective of this study is (i) to design an economic information system which facilitates exchange and distribution of transaction information among individual economic agents, thereby advancing their coordination and adjustments, and (ii) to investigate economic and policy implications of such a system. To do this, we pay special attention to the recent development of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), which has been informatizing transactions among business firms. In particular, we attempt to draw an outline of a new system celled "Economic Information System" which collects transaction information by sampling from the messages transmitted on EDI, produces from them electronic statistical data, and publishes them electronically. Such a system would have to be constructed as a public project at least initially, since the benefits from the system would be small in the beginning, although the benefits will be greater when the system is fully developed. The Economic Information System would supply individual agents of the information about the behavior and the decision of other agents at the micro-economic, industrial-, macro-economic-, and international-economic levels ; it will reduce risk and uncertainty to individual agents, decrease the damage from disequilibrium and business fluctuations, and increase the efficiency of the economic activities of a nation and the world as a whole. On the other hand, such a system would provide services which have the property of public goods ; we therefore consider some of the economic issues like competition, monopoly, regulation of the system.

本研究的目的是（i）设计一个经济信息系统，促进各个经济主体之间交易信息的交换和分配，从而促进其协调和调整，以及（ii）调查该系统的经济和政策影响。为此，我们特别关注电子数据交换（EDI）的最新发展，它使企业之间的交易信息化。特别是，我们试图勾勒出一个名为“经济信息系统”的新系统的轮廓，该系统通过对EDI传输的消息进行采样来收集交易信息，从中产生电子统计数据，并以电子方式发布它们。这样的系统至少在最初必须作为公共项目来构建，因为该系统的收益在开始时很小，但当系统完全开发时收益会更大。经济信息系统将为个体主体提供有关其他主体在微观经济、工业、宏观经济和国际经济层面的行为和决策的信息；它将减少个体主体的风险和不确定性，减少不平衡和商业波动造成的损害，并提高一个国家和整个世界经济活动的效率。另一方面，这样的系统将提供具有公共物品属性的服务；因此，我们考虑一些经济问题，如竞争、垄断、系统监管等。
