本文利用1997 - 2011年的纵向调查数据，实证研究了高等教育扩张政策对我国高校毕业生工资水平的影响。主要结论出现。首先，总体而言，高等教育扩招政策并不影响年轻大学毕业生的工资水平。第二，不同工资结构对工资的政策影响差异较小。第三，政策在短期内降低了应届大学毕业生的工资水平，长期内负面影响消失。第四，考虑到政策影响的群体异质性，结果表明，东、中、西部地区群体之间的差异和性别差距都很小，而政策影响在城市和农村群体之间存在差异。
Using a longitudinal survey data conducted from 1997 to 2011, this study employs an empirical study to provide evidence about the impact of the higher education expansion policy on the wage levels of college graduates in China. Major conclusions emerge. First, in general, the higher education expansion policy does not affect the wage level of young college graduates. Second, the difference of policy impact on wage by various wage percentiles is small. Third, the policy decreases the wage level of new college graduates in a short term and the negative effect disappears in a long term. Fourth, to consider the group heterogeneities of policy impacts, it is shown that both the differences between the Eastern, Central and Western Region groups and the gender gaps are small, whereas the policy impact differ by the urban and rural groups.
