我国“985工程”的运行机制与投入成效分析:基于国际比较与实证研究的视角

The Analyses of Operating Mechanism and Efficiency for “Project 985”： Based on the Perspective of International Comparison and Empirical Study

In the past decade， the term “world-class university” has become a catch phrase not simply for improving the quality of learning and research in higher education but， more importantly， for developing the capacity to compete in the global higher education marketplace through the acquisition， adaptation and creation of advanced knowledge. Following the Project 985， the Chinese government plans to build a series of world-class universities and disciplines， according to a State Council document released on Nov 5， 2015. Under this circumstance， evaluating and analyzing the operating mechanism and investment effect of the Project 985 can help to promote the new reform of higher education. Firstly， this study aims to identify the characteristics of Project 985 by comparison with similar policies in other countries and regions. Furthermore， panel data analysis and other methods were employed to analyze a panel data set on a group of research universities in China from 1998 to 2008. The major findings are summarized as follows: the Project 985 improved the academic publications of universities and had a differential effect on disciplines. There were both dominant (finance) and recessive (i.e. organizational reputation， academic reputation) supports in the influence mechanism of Project 985 which improved the academic productivity.
