人力资本积累是改善民生的根本途径

“民惟邦本,本固邦宁。”这是《尚书》儒家治国理政思想的经典描述。民生问题连着国运,国运昌盛的重要指标是看老百姓的生活质量,为此,从以下角度阐述了几个问题：民生问题实质上是国民素质问题;提高素质、改善民生的根本途径是积累人力资本;改善民生必须先改进“民质”,积累人力资本必须优先发展教育。指出民生问题不仅仅是社会问题、经济问题,更是攸关国家兴衰的政治问题,必须加以重视。

Impacts of transportation infrastructure quality and logistics performance of countries along Belt and Road on economic growth of China

The data of Asia and Africa countries along Belt and Road from 2007 to 2016 are selected, and Structural Equation Model(SEM)is used to analyze the impacts of transportation infrastructure quality and logistics performance of countries along Belt and Road on the economic growth of China, which takes import and export trade as intermediary factor. The study has found that the improvements of quality of railway and port infrastructures in most countries along Belt and Road have more significant positive effect on the economic growth of China through the intermediary effect of import and export trade. Furthermore, the countries are divided into developed and developing economies, and multiple group SEM analysis is exerted, which show that it is very important of developing economies to continuously improve the quality of port infrastructure. It can benefit the improvement of logistics performance, and promote the increase of trade volume, as well as has significant impact on the economic growth of China. However, this kind of connection gradually weakened along with the increase of per capita GDP in those countries. In addition, on the positive function on economic growth of China through increasing the frequency of trade with China by improving logistics performance, the developed economies are obviously doing better than developing economies are.
