This article seeks to make a constructive advance in jurisprudential theory by employing the unified analytical framework of modern social science. We first outline the main ideas of individual rational decision-making and game theory and of social choice and mechanism design, before offering a preliminary discussion of their application to legal issues. The core thesis is that the law in combination with other social norms provides institutional incentives to all actors in society. Legislators’ social justice objectives can be reasonably enforced only as a result of behavioral equilibrium in the social game.

制度激励，博弈均衡与社会公正：建立统一的纯法理学理论

本文旨在通过运用现代社会科学的统一分析框架，在法学理论上取得建设性的进步。我们首先概述了个人理性决策和博弈论以及社会选择和机制设计的主要思想，然后对它们在法律问题中的应用进行了初步讨论。核心论点是法律与其他社会规范的结合为社会所有参与者提供了制度上的激励。立法者的社会正义目标只有在社会博弈中行为均衡的结果下才能得到合理实施。
