Abstract

The new institutional economics offers a range of analytical tools and insights which can be used in restructuring the animal health services of a country. This paper discusses three of the most important--externalities, transaction costs and asymmetric (unequal) information. These tools can be used to craft a system which is sensitive to the particular institutional heritage of a country and to its political, social and economic realities. Institutions are important in this process and the best way for one society is often not the optimal choice for another.

摘要

新制度经济学提供了一系列分析工具和见解，可用于重构一个国家的动物卫生服务体系。本文讨论其中最重要的三个方面——外部性、交易成本和不对称（不平等）信息。这些工具可用于构建一个对一个国家的特定制度遗产及其政治、社会和经济现实敏感的体系。制度在这一过程中很重要，对一个社会来说是最佳的方式，对另一个社会往往并非最优选择。
