异质型文化资本与中国经济增长方式转变

Heterogeneous Cultural Capital and the Transformation of China's Economic Growth Mode

理论上不同特征的文化资本影响经济增长方式的逻辑不同。本文选取1997-2011年区域面板统计数据,实证分析了以儒家文化为特征的传统文化资本和以竞争与创新精神为特征的市场文化资本对区域经济增长方式的影响。结论显示,传统文化资本的人力资本效应能够显著提高人力资本对经济增长的贡献,而市场文化资本的技术进步效应以及两种文化资本形成的制度效应是形成经济增长规模报酬的重要因素。研究还发现加快异质型文化资本的积累是转变当前资本驱动型经济增长方式的有效途径,同时降低文化资本折旧率也有助于推动经济增长方式的快速转变。

In theory different kinds of cultural capital have different impacts on the economic growth mode. This paper selects the annual regional panel data from 1997 to 2011 in China and empirically analyses the relationship between the economic growth mode and two kinds of cultural capital, which are traditional cultural capital reflecting the Confucianism and market cultural capital reflecting the spirits of competition and innovation. The results shows that the human capital effects of traditional cultural capital can increase the contribution of human capital to economic growth. Meanwhile, the technological progress effects of market capital and institutional effects of heterogeneous cultural capital are the important factors to form the scale economic growth. To accumulate the heterogeneous cultural capital quickly is an effectively way to change the present economic growth mode. Decreasing the depreciation rate of cultural capital is also useful to transform the economic growth mode.
