2015年中央经济工作会议指出,2016年是全面建成小康社会决胜阶段的开局之年,也是推进结构性改革的攻坚之年。会议明确了“补短板”是2016年经济工作五大重要任务之一。经济学有个著名的木桶原理,也称为短板效应,就是说由多块木板构成的木桶,其价值在于其盛水量的多少,但决定木桶盛水量多少的关键因素不是其最长的木板,而是其最短的木板。在当前经济结构转型的背景下,要促进经济提质增效升级,就必须补齐我国经济发展的短板,提高我国经济“木桶容量”。 The 2015 Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that 2016 is the first year of the deciding stage for building a well-off society in an all-round way and also a crucial year for promoting structural reforms. The meeting made it clear that “making up shortcomings” is one of the five major tasks for economic work in 2016. Economics has a well-known barrel principle, also known as the short board effect, that is composed of a number of wooden casks, its value is the amount of its water content, but the key factor determining the amount of water in the barrel is not the most Long wooden boards, but the shortest wooden board. Under the current economic restructuring, we must make up for the shortcomings of China’s economic development and raise the economic capacity of our country’s buckets in order to promote economic upgrading, efficiency and efficiency enhancement.
