On How the Mechanism of the Education for International Postgraduates Studying in China Influences the Upgrading of China's Industrial Structure
By using a dynamic panel model built on the panel data of 30 provincial-level administrative regions in China from 1999 to 2018,this study analyzes the impact of international postgraduates studying in China on the upgrading of regional industrial structure,and further explores and tests the influence mechanism.The conclusions of this study can be summarized as follows:first,the development of international postgraduate education in China can promote the upgrading of regional industrial structure-the result is stable and robust;and second,technological progress,physical capital accumulation and demand structure adjustment are indirect channels between international postgraduates studying in China and the regional industrial structure upgrading.Therefore,the authors propose that we should vigorously develop international postgraduate education,increase the number of the postgraduates,maintain strict admission criteria,and strive to ensure the quality of the international postgraduates who want to study in China.
