人力资本、技术创新与长期经济增长——基于我国西部地区的分析

Human Capital,Technological Innovation and Long-term Economic Growth——Analysis on the Western Region

在一个含有技术创新的内生经济增长模型中,文章通过对教育储备型人力资本在产品生产部门和研发部门之间进行配置,研究发现,均衡的经济增长率与配置到产品生产部门的教育储备型人力资本弹性系数和配置到研发部门的教育储备型人力资本的比例都具有正向关系。在理论分析的基础上,运用西部地区12个省市自治区1995-2014年的数据,通过面板数据模型考察了教育储备型人力资本对西部地区技术创新和经济增长的影响,研究发现,西部地区教育储备型人力资本对技术创新具有显著影响,但更倾向于低水平技术创新;与物质资本相比,教育储备型人力资本对经济产出的影响较小,对产出具有显著影响的是高水平的技术创新。研究就此提出建议:西部地区应该提升教育储备型人力资本的质量,实现高水平的创新,进而推动西部经济持续增长。

In an endogenous growth model, which contains a technological innovation, we allocated education Human Capitalreserves between production and R＆D departments. We found that the balanced economic growth has a positive relationship with theelasticity of the education of Human Capital reserves in both the production department and the ratio of education Human Capitalreserves in the R＆D department. Based on the theoretical analysis, we used the data of 12 provinces from 1995 to 2014 around thewestern regions in China, tested the effects of education of Human Capital reserves on technological innovation and economic growth bypanel data model. We found that the western regions education Human Capital reserves contain significant impacts on technologicalinnovation, but more likely with a low level of technological innovation. Compared to physical capital, the education Human reservecapital contribution to economic growth is small. In order to achieve a high level of innovation, and promote sustained economic growth ,the western regions in China should enhance the quality of education Human Capital reserves.
