摘要
本文在增长回归框架下,应用Arellano与Bond等人倡导的动态面板数据方法(system-GMM估计)和传统的固定效应估计考察了教育对地区收入差异的影响。实证分析发现,劳动力教育程度的提高对地区经济增长有显著积极的影响,并表现出一定程度的溢出效应。不过与资本投资相比,教育差异仍不是地区经济差异的主要因素。此外,本文的增长回归还表明,中国各省区的经济发展存在较快的条件收敛迹象。随后,我们分析了实证结果的可能原因。
By applying the dynamic panel data method advocated by Arellano and Bond and the standard fixed effect method, this paper focuses on the effects of education on regional economic differentials in the growth regression framework. The empirical results show that the educational improvement of labor-force does have a significantly positive effect on the economic growth, and to a certain extent there exists schooling externalities. However, compared with physical capital, yet the differences in education are not the major cause of regional economic differentials. Additionally, our growth regressions also indicate a strong conditional convergence in levels of per capita income across China＇ s provinces. Several explanations of the results are then presented.
