省级高教财政投入与区域经济增长的耦合协调度

A Study on the Coupling Degree between Provincial Investment in Higher Education and Regional Economic Growth

利用1999-2014年间我国省际面板数据,采用静态面板固定效应模型和耦合协调发展模型,对省级高等教育财政投入与区域经济增长之间的关系进行了实证分析,并测算了两者间的耦合协调度。结果表明:就全国范围长期来看,省级高等教育财政投入促进了区域经济的发展;分区域来看,西部地区的省级高等教育财政投入的产出弹性最高,中部地区的产出弹性最低,东部地区的民间投入对省级高等教育财政投入的"挤出效应"明显,但总体而言,3个地区省级高等教育财政投入与区域经济增长的耦合协调度均没有达到良好状态。

Based on Chinese provincial panel data from 1999 to 2014, the paper employs static fixed effect panel model and coupling degree model to analyze the long-term equilibrium relationship between financial investment in regional higher education and regional economic development. The results show that provincial investment in higher education promotes the development of regional economy. The output elasticity of financial investment in higher education ranks the highest in western China, and the lowest in central China.The ＂crowding out effect＂ of private investment in higher education is prominent in eastern China. In general,the overall level of the coupling degree between provincial investment in higher education and regional economic growth is not high.
