高等教育发展与经济增长关系的实证研究——以甘肃省为例

Empirical Analysis on Relation between Development of Higher Education and Economic Growth——Taking Gansu Province as an Example

经济增长为高等教育发展提供物质基础,高等教育发展为经济增长提供智力支持。文章以甘肃省为例,利用1978—2009年数据对甘肃高等教育发展水平与经济增长之间的关系进行了协整分析和格兰杰因果关系检验。分析发现,高等教育与经济增长水平之间存在着长期的动态均衡关系,经济增长是高等教育发展的格兰杰原因,高等教育对经济增长的带动作用并未能够表现出来。

Economic growth lays a material foundation for development of higher education and higher education, in turn, supplies intellectual support for economic growth.
