摘要: “一个合理的公共产品决定只能来自于一个可以胜任的公共权力机关”的论断，最早是在《行政强制与公共利益的实现》一文中与阿罗不可能定理产生关联，后来被《新编经济金融词典》编写阿罗不可能定理条目时摘录，成为阿罗不可能定理的推论。在此过程中，公共产品和公共权力机关的概念内涵在不同学科语境中发生偏移，两者关系的逻辑基础也发生演变，因而把“一个合理的公共产品决定只能来自于一个可以胜任的公共权力机关”的论断作为阿罗不可能定理的推论不是很严谨。阿罗不可能定理的确会引起公共产品决策难题，但公共选择领域的研究并不认为这一决策难题应该交由公共权力机关来决定，相反，他们致力于投票机制的制度设计，以确保公共产品提供是由公众来决定的。

Abstract: The statement that a reasonable strategic decision on public goods can only be made by a competent public authority, was first associated with Arrow's Impossibility Theorem (AIT) in the article Administrative Compulsion and the Realization of the Public Interest. Later, it was excerpted as a definition of AIT in the New Economic and Financial Dictionary and became a corollary of AIT. If the statement were a corollary of AIT, then, as long as AIT holds, decisions on public goods can only be imposed or dictated by a public authority. But in this evolution process, the connotations of public goods and public authority have changed in different disciplines, and the relation between them has evolved, taking the statement as a corollary of AIT is not very tight. AIT indeed causes public goods decision-making difficulties, but studies in the field of public choice does not conclude that the dilemma of decision-making on supply of public goods, arising from AIT, should be left to the imposition or dictatorship of the public authorities. On the contrary, they are committed to the institutional design of the voting mechanism in order to ensure that the supply of public goods is decided by population.
