江西高等教育对经济增长贡献率的估算及分析

Estimation and Analysis of the Contribution of Jingxi’s Higher Education to Economic Growth Rate

随着知识经济的孕育和不断发展,高等教育将会越来越主导甚至决定社会经济的发展。采用经教育投入改进的柯布—道格拉斯生产函数定量测算江西区域高等教育对经济增长贡献率,能为正确处理高等教育发展与经济增长的关系提供重要参考依据。测算结果表明,江西高等教育对经济增长贡献率较低,因此必须加大高等教育投入,转变经济增长方式,使经济增长主要依靠提高劳动者的素质和人力资本的积累来实现。

With the appearance and development of the knowledge-based economy, higher education will become more and more dominant and even decisive to social and economic development. By using Cobb-Douglas production function improved by educational investment, quantitative estimation on the contribution of Jingxi＇s higher education to economic growth rate can provide important reference for correctly handling the relationship between higher education development and economic growth. The results show that the contribution of Jingxi＇s higher education to economic growth rate is small, therefore we must increase investment in higher education, change the mode of economic growth, make economic growth mainly rely on the improved quality of workers and human capital accumulation.
