摘要

本文利用国家自然科学基金（NSFC）研究基金的综合数据集，对精英大学项目对学术生产力的因果效应做出了贡献。我们使用差分估算来识别 "211工程 "的处理效应，并发现了这些大学科研竞争力大幅提升的证据。机制分析揭示了驱动这种效应的根本原因，包括人力资本积累和政府资助的增加，以及学术声誉的提高。我们的研究结果从实证角度验证了中国政府主导的促进精英大学发展努力背后的经济逻辑。

Do the elite university projects promote scientific research competitiveness: Evidence from NSFC grants

This paper contributes to the causal effects of the elite university project on academic productivity, utilizing a comprehensive dataset of research grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). We use difference-in-differences estimation to identify the treatment effect of being listed in the 211 Project and find evidence of a substantial improvement in scientific research competitiveness in these universities. Mechanism analyses illuminate the underlying reasons driving this effect, encompassing increased human capital accumulation and government funding, and heightened academic reputation. Our results empirically validate the economic logic behind China’s government-led effort to promote the development of elite universities.

期刊介绍： Research Policy (RP) articles explore the interaction between innovation, technology, or research, and economic, social, political, and organizational processes, both empirically and theoretically. All RP papers are expected to provide insights with implications for policy or management. Research Policy (RP) is a multidisciplinary journal focused on analyzing, understanding, and effectively addressing the challenges posed by innovation, technology, R&D, and science. This includes activities related to knowledge creation, diffusion, acquisition, and exploitation in the form of new or improved products, processes, or services, across economic, policy, management, organizational, and environmental dimensions.
