高等医学教育生产函数研究

A Study of Production Function in Higher Medical Education

教育具有生产性,教育的投入和产出过程可用生产函数来描述。本文收集了上海医大、南京医学院等11所高等医学院校的有关资料进行统计分析,得出高等医学教育生产函数模型为;在校学生数=5.203·教育事业费^(0.94)。结果表明基本呈不变规模报酬状态,提示现阶段我国高等医学教育的规模基本适宜;发展高等医学教育的规模应以内部挖潜为主。

In this paper,relevant data from 11 higher medical education institu- tions are collected,and statistical analysis is made accordingly.The paper concludes that the model of production function in higher medical educa- tion is:N=5.203A^(0·94)(‘N’refers to the total enrolment;‘A’means budgetary expenditures of education),which shows that higher medical education in China is in a status of equal return to its scale(flexibility 0.94 near to 1).Any effort to expand the scale of higher medical education in China should be mainly concentrated on tapping the potential of the present medical colleges and universities.
