一流研究型大学经费结构与科研水平的关系研究 ——基于英国罗素大学集团2012-2021年间的数据分析

Research on the Relationship between Funding Structure and Scientific Research Level of First-Class Research Universities: Based on the Data Analysis of Russell Group from 2012 to 2021

摘要:

以英国罗素大学集团24所一流研究型大学2012-2021年间的经费规模、结构和科研水平的面板数据为研究对象，运用多元回归分析测算罗素大学集团经费结构与科研水平之间的关系。结果显示，罗素大学集团经费整体规模呈上升趋势，收支结构相对均衡，科研经费虹吸效应显著；OLS、固定效应和随机效应模型表明罗素大学集团的经费收支规模、学费收入、政府拨款和研究合同对科研产出数量和科研影响力具有显著提升作用；职工薪资的增长有助于提高论文发表水平。因此，可以通过扩大高等教育公共投入资金来源、完善科研经费管理机制以及优化教职工福利体系来提升我国一流研究型大学的建设质量。

Abstract:

Taking the panel data of funding scale, structure and research level of 24 first-class research universities of Russell University Group in the UK during the period of 2012-2021 as the research object, multiple regression analysis was used to measure the relationship between funding structure and research level of Russell University Group. The results show that the overall scale of funding of Russell University Group shows an upward trend, the structure of income and expenditure is relatively balanced, and the siphoning effect of research funding is significant; the OLS, fixed-effects and random-effects models indicate that the scale of funding and expenditure of Russell University Group, tuition fee income, government grants, and research contracts have a significant impact on the number of research outputs and the impact of scientific research; and the growth of employee salaries helps to improve the level of paper publication. Therefore, the construction quality of China's first-class research universities can be improved by expanding the sources of higher education public input funding, improving the research funding management mechanism and optimizing the staff welfare system.
