摘要：

整体上看来, 教育扩展与教育分配之间存在着一种"倒U"型关系, 即教育扩展先是扩大教育不平等, 而在扩展的末期则会降低教育不平等。但在扩展的中间阶段, 教育扩展对教育分配的影响则是不确定的, 既可能缩小教育差距, 也可能扩大教育差距, 二者之间是一种类似"驼峰"的非线性关系。本文对此进行了理论分析, 并使用中国的经验数据进行了验证。结果表明, 目前阶段, 中国的教育扩展降低了教育分配的不平等。

There is inverted_U relationship between educational expansion and educational distribution, which means educational expansion enlarges inequality of education at initial stage, and reduces inequality of education at last. But during the period of expansion, the effect of educational expansion is not determinate, which is non_linearity relationship 'like-hump'. That is, educational expansion can reduce education gap while widening it then. Based on the theoretical analysis, this paper presents the empirical evidence from China according to a panel data. The findings indicate that educational expansion plays a significant role in equaling the education distribution.
