县级政府教育投入是否影响随迁家庭教育负担?——基于CHIP和县级数据的实证分析

Will County Government Investment in Education Affect Migrant Family Education Burden?——An Empirical Analysis Based on CHIP and Data at County Level

近10年来,中央和地方政府出台了多项政策以缓解随迁子女的义务教育问题。伴随着县级政府教育投入的增加,随迁家庭的教育负担是否得以缓解则成为关注的问题。本研究以成本分担理论为基础,将CHIP2008的微观数据与流入地或流出地所在县级的宏观数据相结合,考察政府投入对随迁子女家庭教育支出产生的挤入或挤出效应。研究结果发现,对于留守儿童而言,流出地县级政府的支出水平对家庭教育支出的影响并不显著;对流动儿童而言,流入地县级政府教育投入水平与家庭支出存在显著的挤入效应。政府预算内事业费每提高10%,家庭需要增加的教育支出为4.23%。

In the past decade, in order to solve the schooling issue of migrant children, several policies from governments have been implemented. With the increase of education finance from each counties, whether or not families＂ burden could be released would become the focus of attention. This study merges CHIP-2008 data with the 2007-county-level data in both migrants＇ places of origin and destination. Based on the cost-sharing theory, the study is conducted to find the effect （crowding-in or crowding-out） of the governmental education input on the households＇ expenditure on schooling. The result confirms the crowding-in effect for migrant children. The result shows that with every 10% raise of counties＇ educational funding, families＇ expending on education will be 4.23% higher so that their migrant children could attend the primary school in urban. Same effect can hardly get for the left-behind children.
