本文通过比较现有资本存量的研究文献吸取了有益的内容,同时扬弃了部分不合理的估算假定和前后不一致的推算方法,重新构建了资本存量估算中的四个核心指标,尤其是对基期资本存量和折旧率的确定进行了细致的推算。本文还根据国家统计局最近基于经济普查和年度修正的最新数据资料,利用永续盘存法估算了1952~2006年全国和省际的资本存量,从而为后续的许多相关研究提供了更为准确的基础数据。
This paper absorbs some useful contents and abandons some unrea- sonable estimation assumptions and inconsistent methods through comparative anal- ysis on the existing literature on the capital stock estimation in China. We recon- struct four core indicators of the capital stock estimation, especially we provide some detailed calculations for the base-year capital stock and the depreciation rate. According to the latest data based on recent economic census and annual ad- justments from the National Bureau of Statistics, we estimate the national and pro- vincial-level capital stock between 1952 and 2006 by perpetual inventory method, in order to provide more accurate basic data for many following relative studies.
