Abstract

This study utilizes the Cobb–Douglas production function and a comprehensive index method to assess the contribution of higher education (HE) to China's economic development from 2008 to 2018. Findings reveal significant “V-shaped” and “√-shaped” regional discrepancies in contribution rates across western, central, and eastern China. Cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin contribute more, whereas other regions lag behind. To enhance contributions, China must optimize HE structures, develop a modern lifelong education system, and implement tailored strategies that address regional needs and promote balanced educational growth across the provinces.

发挥高等教育为经济发展服务的作用

本文运用柯布-道格拉斯生产函数和综合指数法，对2008 - 2018年中国高等教育对经济发展的贡献进行了评价。研究结果显示，中国西部、中部和东部地区的贡献率存在显著的“v”形和“√”形区域差异。北京、上海和天津等城市贡献更多，而其他地区则落后。为了提高贡献，中国必须优化高等教育结构，发展现代终身教育体系，实施有针对性的战略，满足区域需求，促进各省教育平衡发展。
