摘要
学术界探讨的赊欠实为逐级赊欠.本研究提出"同级赊欠"概念.同级赊欠是在库存商品短缺的情况下,市场中的同行按照低于市场价格的价格调配货物、按照社会时间结款的赊欠交易.本研究以云北市明盛建材市场为同级赊欠的田野调研地点,发现市场中商家们在自利动机驱使下与同行建构社会关系、达成互利共赢,发生同级赊欠交易.互利共赢、社会关系是确保同级赊欠运行及再生产的社会机制.相较逐级赊欠而言,社会时间机制在同级赊欠中也发挥作用,但市场权力机制并未出现其中.
Abstract
The credit discussed in academia is actually cascading credit.This study proposes the concept of"peer credit".Peer credit refers to credit transaction in which counterparts in a market with a shortage of goods in stock allocate goods at a price lower than the market price and settle payment according to the social time.Using the Ming Sheng Building Materials Market in Yunbei City as a field site for peer credit study,this paper finds that merchants in the market are driven by self-interest to construct relationships with their peers to achieve mutual benefits and win-win situations,resulting in peer credit transactions.Mutual benefits and social relationships are the social mechanisms that ensure the operation and reproduction of peer credit.In contrast to cascading credit,social time mechanisms play a role in peer credit,but market power mechanisms are not present.
