摘　　要：随着中国高等教育的崛起,中国对世界各国的留学生产生较大的吸引力,如何扩大来华留学生规模和提升来华留学生质量已成为当前中国高等教育的重要任务。基于2006—2018年中国与全球196个国家建立友好城市的数量和来华留学生规模的面板数据,采用普通最小二乘法、工具变量法、中介效应等模型实证考察友好城市的建立对来华留学生规模的影响。结果表明:友好城市的建立对来华留学生规模具有显著的正向影响,利用来华学历教育留学生规模和来华非学历教育留学生规模进行稳健性检验,结果仍然成立;考虑到友好城市的建立与来华留学生之间可能存在内生性问题,采用生源国与中国的建交时间作为工具变量,检验结果仍然成立;异质性分析表明,友好城市的建立对发达国家来华留学生规模的影响显著高于对欠发达国家来华留学生规模的影响,但仅对欧美国家、大洋洲国家的来华留学生规模以及非洲国家的来华非学历教育留学生规模具有正向影响;机制分析结果表明,友好城市的建立可以提高生源国对中国的信任度,扩大来华留学生规模。因此,中国政府应积极推动友好城市的建立,提升中国在全球的信任水平,针对不同收入水平的国家实施差异化友好城市政策,进一步扩大来华留学生规模。With the rise of Chinese higher education,China has become more attractive to international students from all over the world,and how to improve the scale and quality of international students coming to China has become an important task for Chinese higher education at present.Based on the panel data of the number of established sister cities and the scale of international students coming to China between China and 196 countries around the world from 2006 to 2018,the effect of the establishment of sister cities on the scale of international students coming to China is examined empirically by using the models of ordinary least squares,instrumental variables and mediating effects.The results show that the establishment of sister cities has a significant positive effect on the scale of international students coming to China,and the results still hold when robustness tests are conducted using the scale of international students coming to China for academic education and the scale of international students coming to China for non-academic education;considering the possible endogeneity between the establishment of sister cities and international students coming to China,the test results still hold when the time of establishment of diplomatic relations between the country of origin and China is used as an instrumental variable.The analysis of heterogeneity shows that the establishment of sister cities has a significantly higher impact on the scale of international students from developed countries than on the scale of international students from less developed countries.The results of the mechanism analysis show that the establishment of sister cities can improve the trust of the source countries in China and expand the scale of international students coming to China.Therefore,the Chinese government should actively promote the establishment of sister cities to improve Chin’s trust level globally,and implement differentiated sister cities policies for countries with different income levels to further expand the scale of
