摘 要: 基于2007年中国家庭收入调查中的城镇样本,本文利用"文凭效应法"分离教育的生产性价值和信号价值,采用匹配分组后的高考分数及学校成绩来控制能力异质性,定量评估了扩招政策对个人教育经济收益的影响。研究发现,教育在我国劳动力市场中表现出生产性和信号的双重功能,生产性收益率为3.97%,专科和本科的文凭效应分别为21.8%和45.9%,但在控制能力异质性后均明显下降;因适应了经济发展形势和劳动力市场变化,在控制能力异质性下,扩招对个人收入及教育的生产性收益率产生了积极正向影响;而扩招后教育质量下降及文凭过剩等致使教育信号价值下降,专科和本科的文凭效应分别降低5.1%和12.5%。 Based on the urban sample from the China Household Income Project in 2007 and applying the "diploma effects method" to distinguish the signaling value of education from the productivity value of education, this paper tries to assess the impact on the individual economic returns to education by higher education expansion after controlling the heterogeneous ability by matched College Entrance Examination and academic performance. The results show that: firstly, education has present both the signaling function and productivity function in the Chinese labor market, and the productivity returns to education is 3.97% and the diploma effects of junior college and college education are 21.8% and 45.9% respectively, however, these effects were reduced significantly after controlling the heterogeneous ability. Secondly, higher education expansion, adapted to the situation of economic growth and changes of labor market, has positive impact on individual income and the productivity returns to education. Thirdly, the reducing quality of higher education and diploma inflation after higher education expansion has cut down the signaling value of education, and the diploma effects of junior college and college education has reduced by 5.1% and 12.5% respectively.
