摘　　要：高等教育作为国家和个人教育投资的一个重要方面,对改善人力资本、促进经济发展具有重要作用。本文在现有研究基础上运用人力资本理论进一步分析高等教育的经济效益,认为其主要表现在改善人力资本、提升生产效率、完善投资结构和推动国民经济增长等方面。但是人力资本理论并不是完美无缺,在现实中高等教育的经济效益同时受到内在和外在两个方面的限制。文章结合当前高等教育的现实,参照筛选假设理论、劳动力市场分割理论对人力资本理论中的高等教育投资观点及效益进行反思。As an important field of the country＇s and the individual educational investment , higher education plays an important role in improving human capital and promoting economic development. Based on the current related research, this paper tries to analyze the economic benefits of higher education using the theory of human capital, makes it clear that the economic benefits of higher education manifest themselves in aspects, such as improving human capital, enhancing individual and social productivity, boosting the growth of national economy and so on. The theory of human capital, however, is far from perfect. In reality, the economic benefits are restricted by both the internal and the external factors. Considering the status quo of higher education in China and referring to the screening hypothesis and the theory of labor market segmentation, this paper reflects on the view of educational investment in the theory of human capital and thinks this view is worth further discussion.
