教育层次结构与经济增长关系的实证研究——基于2000-2011年面板数据分析

Empirical Study between Different Levels of Education and Economic Growth Based on Using Panel Model

在柯布—道格拉斯生产函数基础上改进建立不同教育层次的生产函数,基于2000-2011年分地区的面板数据,计算分析了初等教育、中等教育和高等教育劳动力对中国经济增长的贡献。结果表明:全国中等教育对经济增长影响最为显著,高等教育次之,初等教育最小,而各层次教育表现出明显的区域差异,一是东中部地区各层次教育对经济增长明显,而西部最弱;二是东部地区高等教育对经济影响最大,中等教育次之,初等教育最小;中部地区中等教育对经济影响最大,高等教育次之,初等教育最小,而西部初等教育对经济增长影响最大,中等教育次之,高等教育最小。因此,中国东中西部地区要采取不同的针对性教育发展政策,提高各地区教育对经济发展的贡献。

Different levels of education production function is established by improving Cobb - Douglas production function. Based on the 2000 - 2011 panel data, we calculate and analyze the contribution of primary education, secondary education and higher education labor to economic growth of China. The main conclusions are as follows： the country＇s secondary education has the most significant impact on economic growth, secondary in higher education and lowest in primary education in the whole country, different levels of education show distinct local diversity： firstly eastern and central regions at all levels of education have obvious impact on economic growth, while the western is the weakest; secondly higher education has the greatest impact on the economy growth, secondary in secondary education and lowest in primary education in the eastern regions; secondary education has the greatest impact on the economy growth, secondary in higher education and lowest in primary education in the central regions, while primary education has the greatest impact on the economy growth, secondary in secondary education and lowest in higher education a in the western region. Therefore, all areas should take different targeted education policy to im- prove the regional contribution of education to economic development.
