- Abstract
China’s overall education level has been drastically improved since the reform and opening-up, benefiting from the continuous growth of fiscal education expenditure, but the development and the accessibility of education among different regions is unbalanced; there is an obvious information asymmetry, and the unfair opportunity of receiving education gradually becomes a hot topic. To explore the relationship between educational information asymmetry and the fiscal expenditure on education, this article used the number of academicians, the number of double-top universities as a measure of regional education information level, along with the fiscal expenditure on education and GDP in 2018 to establish linear regression model. The result shows that level of education information and education spending was positively correlated, but negatively correlated to education spending proportion of GDP. This paper gives concrete evidence for implementing policies to promote informationization in education. The confirmation of the cluster effect in developed regions proves the necessity of guaranteeing equal opportunity to higher education in remote minority areas.
