10、场的。他们因在经济管理的分析方面所做的贡献将分享接近150万美元的奖金。经济管理是指对经济活动在公司，社区和其他组织内部的管理方式进行研究。获奖者是印第安纳大学的埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆(Elinor Ostrom)和加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的奥利弗·威廉姆森(Oliver Williamson)。自40年前诺贝尔经济学家首次颁发以来，共有63人荣获此奖。埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆(Elinor Ostrom)是第一名获此奖的女性。像许多往年的获奖者一样，她的专业领域也不是经济学。她是政治科学和公共环境事务专家。现在，经济理论表明，良好的资源管理需要所有权，无论是私
11、人的还是公共的。否则，个人利益会导致共有资源的滥用和损坏。1968年，生态学家Garrett Hardin对这种理论进行了描述，称其为“公地的悲剧”。埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆(Elinor Ostrom)描述了当地决策可以以怎样的方式减缓这个悲剧。她的研究深化了人们对怎样平衡自己和他人对同样资源的需求的理解。她对加利福尼亚南部依赖于相同水源的农民群体进行了研究。她记录了分享相同资源的人们通常都能找到分享的方法。其中一个例子就是森林管理。埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆(Elinor Ostrom)：“森林能否存活，能否继续生长的一个至关重要的因素就是，当地人群能否相互监督，能否监视森林
12、的使用。不是官方的，而是当地的。”奥利弗·威廉姆森(Oliver Williamson)对一些大公司进行了研究，发现他们通常比进行复杂业务的市场运营状况更好。按照他的理论，企业就像解决冲突的结构。例如，拥有自己的供应商的公司可以避免长期合同和对价格的争议。这可以使生产效率更高，可以更加充分利用有限的资源。但是企业也有可能滥用权力。威廉姆森教授表示，解决这个问题的最佳方法不是限制公司的规模，而是通过行业调控。瑞典皇家科学院称，除了研究市场和价格之外，科学家需要做的更多。诺贝尔奖的评委们敦促科学家进行更多类似今年获奖课题的研究。1.govern v.统治,管理;支配,决定;控制,抑制
