【内容提要】“树典型”是中国国家治理机制中一项重要的中观制度安排，已有文献大多讨论典型生命周期的前半段，即典型的选取、塑造和推广过程，而对其发展或走向萎缩的后半段着墨不多。本文先构建了“典型悖论”分析框架，阐明典型的生命周期受涓滴效应和虹吸效应力量对比的影响；将典型划分为“涓滴型典型”和“虹吸型典型”两种类型，并进一步讨论了可学习性、运行成本和合法性承载程度对不同类型典型的影响。在此基础上，本文基于对某边境县边民互市合作社的调查研究，以其典型的类型变迁来验证“典型悖论”。研究发现的创设者与典型围绕资源所展开的动态互动，可为国家治理机制研究提供参考。

Resource Logic and the“Model”Life Cycle: An Investigation and Reflection on the Border Residents’Mutual Trade Cooperatives in Zhendong County

Abstract: “Setting up models”is an important meso-level institutional arrangement in China’s national governance mechanism. Most existing literature focuses on the first half of the life cycle of a model, that is, the process of“selection-shaping promotion”, while paying little attention to the second half, that is, the development or decline of the model. This paper constructs a“model paradox”framework, explaining that the life cycle of a model is influenced by the contrast between the trickle-down effect and the siphon effect, and builds a typology of“trickle-down models”and“siphon models”. Based on this, the paper further discusses the impact of learnability, operational costs, and the degree of legitimacy on various types of models. Based on an investigation of the border residents’mutual trade cooperatives in a certain border county, this paper uses the change of the type transformation of models to validate the theoretical framework of the“model paradox”. The dynamic interaction regarding resources between the creator of the model and models themselves offers valuable insights for the study of national governance mechanisms.
