摘要:

引入系统理论,构建高等教育规模、结构和质量要素协同促进我国经济发展的理论预设,并采用2005—2019年我国31个省份的面板数据进行实证分析。结果发现:高等教育系统要素协同对地区经济增长具有显著正向影响;高等教育系统要素协同对地区经济增长的影响呈现出“南高北低”的区域异质样态;高等教育系统要素协同促进地区经济增长的过程存在产业结构升级、科技创新产出、人力资本积累和消费水平提升四类机制;省际之间在高等教育促进经济增长的过程中主要存在“竞争关系”。研究结论能够为推动我国高等教育强国建设赋能经济高质量发展提供理论与政策参考。

Abstract:

The system theory is introduced to construct the theoretical presupposition that the scale, structure and quality of higher education could synergize to promote China’s economic development, and the panel data of 31 provinces and regions in China from 2005 to 2019 are empirically analyzed. The results show that the synergy of higher education’s system elements has a significant positive impact on regional economic growth; The impact of the synergy of higher education’s system elements on regional economic growth shows a regional heterogeneous pattern of “high in the south and low in the north”; The process of synergizing higher education’s system elements to promote regional economic growth exists in the process of upgrading industrial structure, scientific and technological innovation output, accumulation of human capital, and the process of promoting regional economic growth; There are four mechanisms of industrial structure upgrading, scientific and technological innovation output, human capital accumulation and consumption level enhancement in the process of promoting regional economic growth through the synergy of higher education’s system elements; There is mainly a “competitive relationship” among provinces and regions in the process of promoting economic growth through higher education. The findings can provide theoretical and policy references for promoting the construction of China’s higher education as a strong nation to enable the high-quality economic development.
