教育人力资本对区域技术创新影响的实证研究

An Empirical Study of the Impact of Educational Human Capital on Regional Technological Innovation

摘要:

理论上人力资本对技术创新的进步有着重要影响，但经验分析的结论并不一致。实质上，人力资本对技术创新的作用与所研究地区的经济发展、创新模式等都息息相关。本文运用面板数据分析研究了教育人力资本以及分级教育人力资本对中国地区技术创新的影响差异。回归结果证实：无论是东部、中部和西部地区，教育人力资本对技术创新的作用系数都显著为正；分级教育人力资本中，只有高级人力资本对区域技术创新具有促进作用，初级人力资本与区域技术创新之间呈负相关，而中级人力资本只有在西部地区对技术创新起到积极促进作用。

Abstract:

Human capital can promote innovation in theory, but the empirical test showed different results. In essence, the role of human capital in technological innovation was closely related to economic development level and innovation model. This paper studies both the effects of educational human capital and different levels of educational human capital on regional technological innovation. The empirical results showed that education human capital had a positive role in promoting technological innovation whether it was the eastern, central and western regions. However, the influence different levels of educational human capital had on regional technological innovation were diversity. Primary human capital and technological innovation was significantly negatively correlated while advanced level of human capital has positive influence on technological innovation, whether it was the eastern, central and western regions. However, secondary human capital had a significant positive effect on the technological innovation only in the western region.
