Driving Factors and Spatial Spillover Effects of Funding for Private Education
Private education struggles to achieve high-quality development due to the dilemma of insufficient funding.To address this issue,it is crucial to first identify the driving forces behind the funding for private education.This paper adopts Dynamic Spatial Panel Model (DSPM) to analyze the impact of factors such as government,economy and population on private education funding by considering time-lagged effect,space-lagged effect and space-time-lagged effect simultaneously.The results show that:(1)From 2007 to 2020,the funding for private education of 31 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) in China showed a strong spatial positive correlation,which was mainly based on geographical location and distance rather than economic development level.(2)The funding scale of a particular year was significantly positively influenced by the previous year,showing a strong path-dependent characteristic.(3)Government factors such as governmental financial support for private education and governmental preference for educational expenditure,and population factors such as total population scale and population density are the key factors affecting the funding scale for private education.These key factors will have both short-term and long-term spillover effects on neighboring regions,which are consistent with the influence on the local region.
