內容提要
本研究利用中國數量龐大、種類豐富的經濟開發區👅,探討了經濟開發區如何影響人力資本投資。結果表明,經濟開發區大大提高了當地的高中入學率,但不同類型的經濟開發區所產生的影響不盡相同🔲:技術導向型經濟開發區鼓勵周邊人群繼續高中教育🙍♀️,而出口導向型經濟開發區則激勵學生更早就業。經濟開發區提供的需要高中學歷的工作機會和更高學歷的工資溢價增加了高中入學率🧲🚜,而需要初中學歷的工作機會和較低學歷的工資溢價作用相反。經濟開發區對高中入學率的正影響只有極小部分可歸因於開發區帶來的家庭收入增加🦩。
By exploiting the large quantity and rich variety of special economic zones (SEZs) in China, this study investigates how such zones affect human capital investment. Results show that SEZs significantly increase the local high school enrollment rate, but the impact varies across zone types: technology-oriented zones encourage education, while export-led zones discourage it. The increased job opportunities and wage premiums inside SEZs for employees with high school education increase high school enrollment, while such opportunities and wages for employees with middle school education decrease enrollment. A very small portion of the impact, if any, can be attributed to increased income.
