国内学界把“中国少数民族经济”理解为狭义民族经济学,进而将其定义为经济学的一个分支学科。民族学和经济学相互交叉形成民族经济学和经济民族学两个学科,前者归属于经济学科,后者归属于民族学科。笔者以为,“中国少数民族经济”的学科归属定位在中国经济民族学,可能具有更好的理论和现实意义,也更加符合国家现有学科分类的意图。 The domestic academic circle interprets “China’s ethnic economy ” as a narrow national economy, which in turn defines it as a branch of economics. Ethnology and economics cross each other to form two disciplines of national economy and economic ethnology, the former belongs to the economic discipline, the latter belongs to the ethnic discipline. The author believes that the “minority economy of China” belongs to the subject of economic ethnography, which may have better theoretical and practical significance, but also more in line with the state’s existing taxonomy intent.
