电商环境下人力资本投资与区域经济增长

Human Capital Investment and Regional Economic Growth in the E-commerce Environment

本文利用2009-2019年我国31个省份的面板数据,构建了线性面板数据模型与门槛效应模型,实证分析电商环境下人力资本投资对经济增长的影响效应与区域差异。研究发现:从线性视角来看,全国层面的人力资本投资对经济增长具有显著的促进作用,这一现象在东中部地区也具有普遍性意义;从非线性视角来看,在电商水平的约束条件下,全国层面人力资本投资对经济增长的影响作用呈现出显著的门槛特征。随着电商水平的提升,人力资本投资的经济增长效应呈现出U型变化,这一现象在中部地区具有相似性。提出要加大对人力资本的投资力度,加强对电子商务的政策支持力度,完善电商基础设施建设,以强化人力资本的经济增长效应。

Based on the panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2009 to 2019,this paper constructs a linear panel data model and threshold effect model,and empirically analyzes the impact of human capital investment on economic growth and regional differences concerning it in the e-commerce environment.The research finds that seeing from the linear perspective,human capital investment at the national level has a significant role in promoting economic growth,which is quite universal in the eastern and central country and from the nonlinear perspective,the impact of nationwide human capital investment on economic growth displays a distinct threshold feature due to the not-good-enough e-business competence.With the rising of e-commerce level,the economic growth effect of human capital investment presents a U-shaped change,which is similar to the situation in the central China.Therefore,it is proposed in this paper to increase the investment in human capital,strengthen the policy support for e-commerce,and improve the infrastructure construction of e-commerce so as to further enhance the economic growth effect of human capital.
