芝加哥大学的史蒂文·莱维特(Steven D.Levitt)教授是第28届克拉克奖得主。他继承了“芝加哥学派”的“经济学帝国主义”传统,将经济分析方法,尤其是计量经济学方法应用于法经济学的实证分析。虽然莱维特并未在法经济学领域提出很多的独创性理论,但他擅长于在实证研究中发现新的数据和构造新颖的证明方法,为具体法律的制订、修改和实施提出建议,使立法、司法等行为更加理性,这正是莱维特获奖的真正原因。本文着重分析了莱维特对青少年犯罪的成因、犯罪率变化的原因、刑罚的作用等方面的实证研究,并对其研究方法进行了简要评论。
Professor Steven D. Levitt of the University of Chicago is the 28th Clarke Laureate. He inherited the “economics of Chicago School ” “economic imperialism ” tradition, the economic analysis methods, especially econometric methods applied to the empirical analysis of law and economics. Although Levitt does not come up with many ingenious theories in the field of law and economics, he is good at discovering new data and constructing novel proof methods in empirical research, making proposals for the formulation, modification and implementation of specific laws, , Justice and other acts more rational, which is the real reason why Levitt won the award. This paper focuses on the analysis of Leavitt’s empirical research on the causes of juvenile delinquency, the reasons for the changes in the crime rate, the role of penalties, etc., and makes a brief comment on the research methods.
