小结:法律和证券市场演进之间的关系及发展中国家的选择
如前所述,LLSV理论存在着不少不足,也经受了多种批判。但是作为一项实证研究,其成果不可轻易否定。[97] 而作为一种新思路,其开疆拓土的学术意义更是巨大。批评者对其也并不是试图完全推倒,而是希望将其纳入一个更为完整的理论框架中。本文也并非重点指摘其非,而是指出我们可以更全面地看待这个话题。
总体来说,从LLSV理论自身及其批判中,具有合理因素和可以为我们借鉴接受的观点至少包括:
1、法律对投资者的保护,对于促进证券市场的发展是重要的。尽管这不一定是要通过国家制定实体法实现。
2、保护投资者的法律的和投资者对这种法律的需求是一个交互作用的过程。即使是英美,也并非天然的就出现了保护少数股东的法律。更符合历史真实的图像是:一国由于某些机缘,投资者获得了相当程度的保护,从而使他们能够有力推动相应法律机制的出现,令他们已经获得的权利得到更为明确、持续的保护。对于后发国家来说,通过政府推动这一过程,也未尝不可能。
3、推动证券市场发展的路径不一定要限定在某些特定措施。在确保少数股东免受内部人侵害的基本目标下,“支持证券市场,因而在很大程度上支持公司治理系统的制度是同步进化和彼此强化的。一项制度中的缺陷可以通过强化另一项制度而抵消”。[98] 例如,一家公司股价和盈利要是连续在一段时间内低于行业标准,无论是在英国、美国、德国还是日本,其CEO都会下台,只不过实现方式不同罢了。[99] 事实上,美国、英国、香港、瑞士等国在不同道路上通过功能性趋同[100] 的方式都形成了发达的资本市场。
4、不能简单地指望通过法律变革来迅速改善公司治理,法律制度本身的改变很难系统性的改变各类主体的行为方式,反而会造成对法律的规避、扭曲市场主体的最优选择。“应当看清楚民间行为模式没有受到制约的情况下存在的、自我约束性最优的均衡是否已经形成,并防止现存法律制度阻碍民间的最优反应”。[101] 对意欲通过证券市场治理来促进经济增长的发展中国家来说,移植相应的法律制度是一个重要步骤,但未必是较早就应当做、或者较早就能发挥作用的一个步骤。更重要的是推出各种有利于证券市场发展的实质措施,并考察在既定的环境下何种法律发展进路更为可行。[102]

限于篇幅,本文只讨论LLSV的股东权利指数。然其债权人权利指数的选取设置也存在着类似问题,如可见Katharina Pistor, Patterns of Legal Change: Shareholder and Creditor Rights in Transition Economies, in Fox and Heller eds, Corporate Governance Lessons from Transition Economy Reforms, Princeton University Press 2006, pp.52-53.

在其后来的研究中,LLSV做了一些改进,比如在变量上给出了1/3、2/3这样的数值或者是允许在0-10之间变化,如La Porta et al., "What Works in Securities Laws?", 61 J. Fin. 1 (2006),pp.6-10。
