教育对于跨越中等收入陷阱的作用机制研究

An Empirical Analysis on the Mechanism of Education on Striding Across the Middle Income Trap

在解释成功跨越中等收入陷阱国家的长期经济增长差异中,以教育质量为代理变量的人力资本要比经济制度更加重要。教育质量相比于教育数量、高等教育相比于基础教育、高级技能水平相比于基础技能水平,对于成功跨越中等收入陷阱具有更重要的作用。

In explaining the variance of long-term economic growth among some countries across the middle income trap, education quality as a proxy variable of human capital has more explanatory power than economic institutions. In those comparisons, such as education quality v.s. education quantity, higher education v.s. basic education and high-level skill v.s. basic skill, the former is more important than the latter for striding across the middle income trap.
