民办高等院校对民营经济的影响——基于CCSY 2020的实证分析

The Effects of Private Universities on the Growth of Private Economy

利用2003—2020年《中国城市统计年鉴》(CCSY)数据库,基于人力资本理论和教育经济理论检验民办高等院校对民营经济的影响,构建中介效应模型并运用滞后效应进行稳健性检验。研究发现:中国民办高等院校对民营经济发展具有显著正向作用;中国民办高等院校促进人力资本积累和科技创新,而且西部区域具有相对比较优势;人力资本积累、科技创新及城市自由型契约对中国民办高等院校促进民营经济发展具有部分中介作用;地理区位、开放程度及经济水平具有正向调节作用。政府应扩大民办高等院校招生规模、提高课题研发配套投入、引导大学生择业以及优先发展中西部民办高等院校数量,以进一步促进中国民营经济快速发展。

With the 2003-2020 China Urban Statistical Yearbook(CCSY)database,this paper examines the impact of private colleges and universities on private economy based on human capital theory and educational economy theory,builds a Mesomeric effect model,and uses the lag effect to conduct a robustness test.Research finds that private universities have a positive impact on the growth of the private economy,and promote the accumulation of human capital and technological innovation,while there are comparative advantages in the western region.The accumulation of human capital,technological innovation,and urban free contracts play a partial mediating role in enabling private higher universities to promote the private economy in China.Geographical location,openness,and economic level have a positive regulatory effect.The government should expand the enrollment of private institutions,increase investment in research and development projects,guide college students to choose careers,and increase the number of private institutions in central and western China,in order to further promote the rapid growth of private economy.
