中文摘要：

在扩展柯布—道格拉斯生产函数的基础上,使用我国1995~2011年省级面板数据测度和刻画财政教育支出的经济增长效应及其空间特征,继而运用DEA方法和Malmquist生产率指数系统核算省域财政教育支出的相对效率。结果表明：（1）省域财政教育支出的经济增长正效应及其空间差异显著;（2）省域财政教育支出的综合效率由东向西依次递减;（3）东部地区财政教育支出的Malmquist指数有所改进,而中西部地区财政教育支出的Malmquist指数基本呈下降态势;（4）Malmquist指数不高主要源于纯技术效率与规模效率偏低,而非技术变化。

英文摘要：

Based on the extended Cobb-Douglas production function, the provincial panel data from 1995 to 2011 is applied to measure the output effect of public expenditure on education and its spatial characteristics. The DEA-Malmquist model is employed to assess the efficiency of provincial public expenditure on education. The results show that the output effect of public expenditure on education reveals significant spatial differences. Overall efficiency descends from east to west. Eastern Malmquist index of public expenditure on education has improved, but the other regions＇ shows a downward trend. Malmquist index is not high mainly due to low pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency rather than technological change.
