摘要:: 为了优化教育资源配置，充分发挥教育在我国经济新发展格局中的重要作用，需要深刻理解各级教育与经济增长的关系。本研究基于2001-2019年省级面板数据，使用双向固定效应模型和滞后模型对于各级教育投入与经济增长的关系进行比较分析。研究发现，教育具有长期投资和扩大消费的双重属性，因此各级教育对经济增长的影响也具有结构性差异：低层级教育的经费投入、高层级教育的在学规模和教师资源投入与经济增长具有显著正向关系；教育经费投入对于短期经济增长有直接带动作用，在学规模的扩大和教师资源的增加可以推动长期经济发展。

Abstract:: To optimize the allocation of educational resources and give full play to the important role of education in China’s new economic development scenario, it is necessary to better understand the relationship between different levels of education and economic growth. Based on the provincial panel data from 2001 to 2019, this study analyzes the relationship between different levels of education investment and economic growth. It is found that education has dual attributes of investment and consumption, so there are structural differences in the impact of different levels of education on economic growth. It finds that the educational expenditure in low-level education, as well as the education scale and teacher resources in high-level education have significant positive effects. Educational investment has a direct driving effect on short-term economic growth. The increase in education scale and teacher resources can promote long-term economic development.
