技术赶超中的高等教育财政--亚洲发达国家和地区的经验及启示

Higher Education Finance for Technological Catch-up——Experience from the Developed Countries in Asia and It's Implications for China

发展中国家要实现技术赶超,需要以提升人才技能与科研创新能力为目标,重构高等教育财政政策。亚洲发达国家和地区的高等教育财政具有差别化的成本分担、集中资源的一流大学建设、充足的高校科研经费投入以及建立公立高校绩效问责机制等特点。亚洲发达国家和地区的经验可以为我国在技术赶超阶段的高等教育财政改革提供政策启示。

To realize technological catch-up in developing countries, it is suggested to reform higher education financial system and focus more on developing skills and enhancing research excellence. The experiences from the developed countries in Asia show that higher education finance systems are characterized by several features, including differentiated cost sharing system, concentrated fiscal funding in building world-class universities, adequate research expenditures on higher education sectors, and the performance-based accountability reform on public higher education institutions. Based on the experience in developed Asian countries, we propose several policy implications on reforming higher education finance system in China.
