What makes higher education contribute to high-quality economic development - a synergy effect analysis based on scale, structure and quality elements

This paper explores how the synergistic effect of scale, structure and quality of Certain components can encourage postsecondary education for superior economic growth. Firstly, this study illustrates the synergistic effect of scale, structure, and quality factors in higher education by exploring the theoretical mechanisms of these elements in higher education to promote good economic development. Second, the conventional TOPSIS method is refined, and the entropy power-TO PSIS model is constructed by combining the entropy power method with the regression model built on the theoretical mechanism of the previous paper, and the empirical design is executed. The measurement of high-quality development of higher education and the economy is made possible by this. After building and finishing the evaluation index system for higher education and high economic, high-quality development, the development measurement is examined at the end. Based on the regression results, Analysis is done on the mediation and threshold effects of higher education for the establishment of high-quality economic growth, and pertinent policy recommendations are made. The scale structure and quality criteria of higher education are 40.1,303.1,9.9, and 60.2, respectively. The growth levels of the east, central, and west are 0.27,0.24, and 0.24, respectively, as is the proportion of the mediating influence to the total effect of 0.32 and 0.51. Through the factors of scale, structure, and educational quality, higher education works in concert to optimize technology and industry and, in turn, to foster the excellent growth of the economy. © 2023 Hua’an Fu and Yang Gao, published by Sciendo.
