文化资本对我国经济增长的影响——基于扩展MRW模型

The Influence of Cultural Capital on Economic Growth in China——Based on Extended MRW Model

将文化资本作为重要投入要素引入经济增长模型,构造了扩展的MRW模型分析框架。在测算我国31个省份2004～2009年的物质资本、人力资本和文化资本存量基础上,研究各资本投入要素在稳态经济运行和实际经济运行情形下对我国经济增长的影响。实证结果表明,目前我国经济还未达到稳定增长阶段,现阶段经济增长仍为物质资本推动型,人力资本和文化资本的作用有限;当经济增长达到稳态时,我国经济增长的粗放模式将得到调整,物质资本的贡献大幅下降,而人力资本和文化资本将成为我国经济增长的主要推动力。

This paper takes cultural capital as an important input factor in an extended MRW analysis framework. The phys- ical capital, human capital and cultural capital stocks of 31 provinces in China 2004 to 2009 are estimated. Based on the re- sults, it studys the impact of different capital input factors on Chinese economic growth in a steady-state circumstances and actual circumstances of economic operation. The result shows that Chinese economy has not yet reached the stage of steady growth, the current stage of economic growth is still driven by physical capital, while the role of human capital and cultural capital is limited ; When the economic growth reach steady state, its extensive mode will be adjusted, the contribution of phys- ical capital will drop significantly, and human capital and cultural capital will become the main driving force for Chinese eco- nomic growth.
