Abstract

ABSTRACT Regional studies have found significant agglomeration effects of education development on economic growth. Regional favouritism is potentially closely related to public investment in education, further impacting regional growth. This paper provides significant empirical evidence on the potential impact of favouritism on education development in the Chinese context. Using data for 282 Chinese cities from 1996 to 2016 with treatment for endogeneity (Lewbel two-stage least squares estimator), the results provide evidence that Chinese provincial political leaders favour their birthplaces’ education resource development, and that the effect is larger for within-provincial impact and higher tier cities ranked by income.

区域偏袒与教育发展

区域研究发现，教育发展对经济增长具有显著的集聚效应。地区偏袒可能与公共教育投资密切相关，从而进一步影响地区增长。本文为偏袒对中国教育发展的潜在影响提供了重要的实证证据。利用1996年至2016年282个中国城市的数据，采用内生性处理（Lewbel两阶段最小二乘估计），结果表明，中国省级政治领导人有利于其出生地的教育资源开发，并且省内影响和收入排名较高的城市的影响更大。
