Abstract

The scarcity of educational resources in China was studied in this paper, using shadow prices as the evaluation index. And by using the method of input-output combined with linear programming, this paper constructed an input-output LP model. Then, this paper measured the shadow price of educational resources using this input-output LP model based on China’s input-output tables in 1987-2007 and used the method of scenario simulation analysis to measure the shadow price of educational resources under different developing rates of education industry. The results showed that the shadow price of educational resources in China showed an overall decline trend from 1987 to 2007 and the educational resources’ shadow price will gradually reduce with the development of education industry on the existing economies’ scale.
