Research On Regional Difference And Dynamic Mechanism Of The Development Of Higher Education

In the era of knowledge economy,higher education has become the core competitiveness of national and social development increasingly and it is an indispensable source of power.The problem of regional difference in the development of higher education has always been a hot issue in academic research.The imbalance of the development level of regional higher education will cause the imbalance of regional economic development,and profoundly affect the sustainable development of economic society.Therefore,it is of great theoretical and practical significance to objectively evaluate the development level of regional higher education in China,analyze the temporal and spatial evolution law of higher education development,and reveal the dynamic mechanism affecting the temporal and spatial evolution of regional differences in higher education,so as to improve the development level of higher education in China,promote the balanced development of higher education,and promote the comprehensive,coordinated and sustainable development of economy and society.The main content of this paper are summarized as follows:1.Evaluation and analysis of regional differences of regional higher education development level.Firstly,31 indexes are selected from the three aspects,such as education scale,education input and education output,to build an evaluation index system;the entropy weight assignment method and the gray comprehensive evaluation method are combined to build a weighted gray correlation evaluation model to scientifically evaluate the development level of higher education in 31 provinces of China in 2010?2017.Secondly,using the coefficient of variation and Theil index,the regional differences in the development of higher education in China is analyzed.2.Analysis of the spatial effect of regional higher education.By use of the Moran's I index and the Moran scatter diagram,analysis,the spatial association pattern,spatial cluster structure and characteristics of spatial-temporal dynamic transition are studied.The results show that the regional development of higher education in China has significant spatial positive correlation characteristics,significant spatial clustering and low time sequence liquidity characteristics,and path dependence is serious.It is difficult for each province to separate from the original cluster.3.Analysis of the influencing factors of regional higher education development.The spatial effect of the development of higher education is included in the econometric model.The spatial econometric model is constructed to analyze the influence mechanism of five factors on the development level of Higher Education:the level of economic development,the level of industrial structure,the degree of opening to the outside world,the level of teachers and the strength of government support.The results show that,on the whole of China,it can be seen that the economic development level,industrial structure level,teachers' level and government support play a significant role in promoting the development level of higher education,while the role of the degree of opening up is not significant.The influence mechanism of each factor on the development of higher education in the four regions is different.4.Put forward the policy suggestions of balanced development of higher education.According to the previous research results,taking the influencing factors of the development of higher education into consideration,strategies of the balanced development strategy of China's higher education are put forward from five aspects:the level of economic development,the level of industrial structure,the degree of opening to the outside world,the level of teachers and the strength of government support.
