11月13日消息，在今天举行的第十六届财新峰会上，国务院发展研究中心高级研究员，财新传媒公信力 委员会主席吴敬琏发表视频致辞。他表示，方式转变和体制转变在全国范围内是不平衡的，不同地区不 同行业不同行政机关的管辖下，差别相当大，出现了一种新形式的二元经济状态，就是同一个地方同一 个行业，有的地方基本上是由市场价格机制来确定资源配置，但有的地方和行业，还处在旧有的资源配 置方式影响之下，只不过形式上有所改变。 吴敬琏指出，在许多地方和许多行业，都存在着两种经济体制，一部分仍然是行政机关主导资源配置， 只不过用的方法跟过去直接命令不同，用了许多政策手段，用了一些条件等等。于是不同的经济模式 下，社会经济的发展就出现了很大差异。 他认为，要实现二十届四中全会所规定的任务，就是要让落后于发展的还是倾向于政府干预的地方，能 够赶上去。 吴敬琏说："30年的转变，取得了很多成就，主要就表现在那些实际上市场在资源配置中起主导作用的 地方。"（刘丽丽） 责任编辑：杨赐 ...
