Fiscal investment in education is a major force in the Chinese education input,which plays an important role in popularizing compulsory education and forming human capital.Human capital is the main basis of improving labor quality and realizing technological progress.It is of great theoretical and practical significance to study the functioning mechanism and regional difference of fiscal investment in education on economic growth efficiency.Under the framework of endogenous economic growth theory,the moderating effect of industrial structure upgrading is explored on the influence of fiscal investment in education on total factor productivity.According to the national data,the fiscal investment in education can directly improve the total factor productivity,the upgrading of industrial structure in the eastern and central regions of China weakens the promotion effect of fiscal investment in education on total factor productivity,while the upgrading of industrial structure in western region of China enhances the promoting effect of fiscal investment in education on total factor productivity.Among other control variables,GDP growth rate and urbanization level have a significant promoting effect on total factor productivity,but the degree of opening up,foreign direct investment,deepening finance and proportion of scientific and technological investment have large regional differences on the influences of total factor productivity.Countermeasures and suggestions are proposed accordingly.
