教育水平对城乡收入水平影响的实证研究——基于山西省的调查数据

The Empirical Research on the Effect of the Education to the Urban and Rural Income Levels between Rural and Urban Areas——On the Basis of Investigation Data from Shanxi Province

文章以山西省的调查数据为基础,实证研究了教育水平对城乡收入水平的影响,研究结果显示,无论在城市还是农村,均显示出教育水平与收入水平的正相关关系。但教育投资的回报率在城市和农村却呈现出不同的特征,在城市,边际报酬呈现递增,而农村则呈现出边际报酬递减。文章对这一实证结论给出了理论解释,并提出了相应的政策建议。

On the basis of investigation data form ShanXi province,this paper analyzes the effect of the education to the income gap between rural and urban areas.The conclusion shows,either in the rural or in the urban area,the higher the level of the education the more income of the people.But the marginal returns of the educational investment have different features between the two areas.In the rural area,there is an increasing marginal return,but in the urban,the marginal return is diminishing.In the end,we present an interpretation of this phenomenon,and some relative policy suggestions were proposed.
