ABSTRACT

This paper examines the heterogeneous effect of student spending in UK NUTS-2 regions. Impact analyses of the more than £45 billion students spend each year have so far been agnostic of the regional absorptive capacity to benefit from this expenditure. Building a multi-regional input–output model for the UK and combining it with data on student expenditure, domicile and level of study, the paper finds significant regional heterogeneity in gross value added and employment multipliers as well as in interregional spillovers. The analysis shows how important student expenditure is for regional economies and the symbiotic relationship between student spending and regional industrial structures that produce varying impact outcomes.

摘要

本文研究了英国 NUTS-2 地区学生支出的异质效应。迄今为止，对每年超过 450 亿英镑的学生花费的影响分析一直不知道从该支出中受益的地区吸收能力。为英国构建了一个多区域投入产出模型，并将其与学生支出、住所和学习水平的数据相结合，本文发现在总增加值和就业乘数以及区域间溢出方面存在显着的区域异质性。该分析表明学生支出对区域经济的重要性以及学生支出与产生不同影响结果的区域产业结构之间的共生关系。
