基于资本外溢性和省域技术水平间存在空间依赖性的假设,在Mankiw、Romer和Weil模型(简称MRW模型)中引入了变量的空间滞后项,构建了空间MRW模型,运用中国全域及东部、西部面板数据进行固定效应的空间面板估计,证实了模型假设的正确性,得到以下主要结论:第一,在中国全域及东、西部区域中,人力资本及其空间外溢效应对经济增长的贡献均不显著;第二,东部地区人力资本及其空间外溢效应对区域经济增长的贡献值均约为西部地区的两倍。
The majority of literatures on the effect of human capital on regional economic growth neglect the spatial effect of human capital.Based on hypothesis of the physical capital externalities and the technological spatial interdependence between provinces,the paper introduces the spatial lagged term of variable into the model of Mankiw,Romer and Weil(1992)(MRW Model),develops a Spatial MRW Model,and conducts Fixed-effect Spatial Panel Estimation in the samples of the whole China,eastern China and western China,respectively.The empirical results approve the correctness of hypothesis and receive the following conclusion.The contribution of human capital and the spatial spillover effect of human capital on economic growth in China's eastern region is more than twice as that in China's western region,but they are statistically insignificant.
