从公共经济学的视角看我国高等教育市场的供求缺口及其弥补

The Gap Between Supply and Demand & Its Makeup in China's Higher Education Market: A Public Economic View

教育供求均衡是教育发展的一个重要问题。中国居民对高等教育隐含着巨大的需求, 而高等教育的供给相对严重不足。如何扩大高等教育产品的供给以满足人们自身发展与社会发展 的需要,成为现阶段高等教育发展亟待解决的问题。根据公共产品理论,高等教育产品具有混合产 品的性质,因而在高等教育产品的供给方面,既可以采取政府直接生产的方式,也可以采取政府间 接生产的方式。此外,借鉴美国的经验逐步实行教育凭证制度也是一个重要的思路。

Equilibrium between supply and demand is central to the development of education. The demand power for higher education among our residents is hidden yet huge, but at the same time, the supply power is relatively inadequate. Therefore, it is of high necessity within this period for us to solve how to enlarge the abovementioned supply and satisfy the requirement both from the people and the society. According to the theory of public goods, higher education belongs to the regimentation of mixed goods, so from the supply side, we can take the method of direct producing as well as the method of indirect producing. Besides, using the USA as a reference, we can practice the system of Vouchers.
