我们假设，在中国的非沿海省份的低要素生产率是其较低的经济增长的主要原因，尽管高投资率相对于省级GDP。我们发现，沿海省份的全要素生产率大约是沿海省份的两倍，并估计高等教育投资和外国直接投资有助于解释生产率差距。我们推测，尽管基础设施投资的估计回报相对较小，但它可能是吸引外国直接投资和留住内地大学毕业生所必需的。(C)北京：科学出版社.
We postulate that inferior factor productivity in China's noncoastal provinces is a principal reason for their lower economic growth despite high investment rates relative to provincial GDP. We find that total factor productivity is roughly twice as high in the coastal provinces and estimate that investment in higher education and foreign direct investment helps explain the productivity gap. We speculate that despite its relatively modest estimated return-investment in infrastructure may be necessary to attract foreign direct investment and to retain university graduates in the interior.
