权力资本与家庭的教育支出模式

Power Capital and The Pattern of Family Educational Expenditure

为认识中国家庭的微观教育支出行为,本文首先构建了"卧品字"象限图,试图描述家庭权力资本在不同的教育资源配置机制体系中对家庭教育支出的影响模式;继而使用中国家庭追踪调查数据,实证地检验"卧品字"假设;实证结果并没有支持"卧品字"猜测,而是表明家庭权力资本与教育支出呈现"卧凸字"模式,即在政府主导教育资源配置的国民教育体系中,权力资本对家庭教育支出作用明显,但在市场主导资源配置的校外补习体系中作用不明显。这一发现对于理解中国家庭教育资源配置和完善教育财政改革具有理论和实践意义。

This paper first constructs the quadrant chart of the 'Lying Pin'(the shape like lying Chinese Character '品 '),to model the influence of power capital on household educational expenditure in different allocation mechanism of educational resources.This paper then uses China Family Panel Studies data to test the ' Lying Pin' hypothesis empirically.The results show that the 'Lying Pin' hypothesis is not supported but a 'Lying Tu'(the shape like lying Chinese Character 'ft')pattern is presented.This means the families endowed with higher power capital spend less on their children's education in Chinese public education system,while the power capital has no impact in private tutoring system.The findings have both theoretical and practical value in understanding the family educational resources allocation and improving the education financial reform in China.
