随着经济学分析方法对社会科学各领域的渗透,20世纪90年代以来,国际学界出现了一个新的研究趋势:使用经济学方法分析科学研究领域的问题。这一趋势与20世纪50年代早期科学学理论体系中包含的科学经济学大相径庭。试图在科学学理论体系下,简述这一“新科学经济学”的发展情况,并结合近几年“科技政策学”的发展,对“新科学经济学”的未来进行展望。
Along with the permeating of economics'methodology into social science, there comes a new trend in 1990s that is analyzing scientific research issues with economics methods. This trend is far different with 'economies of science' in the theory of 'science of science' in 1950s. This article tries to integrate this new economics of science into traditional framework of 'science of science', reviews the development of 'new economics of science' and foresights this discipline's vision taking into the consideration of the emerging 'science of science policy' in recent.
