中国城乡人力资本投资收益非对称性特征及其后果

Asymmetrical Features of the Returns of Human Capital Investment in China''''s Urban and Rural Areas and Consequences

摘要:

中国人力资本投资收益在城乡呈现出非对称性的特征。在农村,这种非对称性表现为投资收益外溢城市,而在城市则没有形成投资收益对农村的外溢,只表现为投资收益内溢城市区域自身,其结果则是农村的发展因缺乏必要的人力资本而受到限制,致使中国城乡发展的差距不断扩大。应该发挥政府作用,大力加强对农村各种形式的人力资本投资。

Abstract:

The returns of human capital investment in China's urban and rural areas are rather asymmetrical. In the country, this asymmetry is demonstrated as the spillover of investment returns to the city, but the city only has such spillover to the city itself, not to the country. As a result, rural development is restricted because of lack of necessary human capital investment, which causes the increasing gap between the development of urban and rural areas. The government should increase human capital investment in different forms in rural areas.
