我国高等教育在地理空间分布上的两上最为显著的特点：第一，从全国范围来看，高等教育并不存 在东、西部分布的严重不均衡。第二，从全国各个行政区划角度分析，各个区内高等教育的空间分布则存在严重的不均衡。我国高等教育分布的调整工作，重点应该 放在尚无高等教育或高等教育十分薄弱的中小城市及县级市。对于中西部的高等教育投资则要集中在改善高等教育的质量及创造更合适人类人才施展身手的外部环境 上。

高校连年扩大招生给社会成员带来了更多的接受高等教育的机会.在我国高等教育走进大众化的今天,从广义的高等教育层面上看,高等教育资源的区域公平问题并不突出,高等教育区域不公平主要反映在优质高等教育资源的区域分配不公平.政府应充分意识到这一不公平事实,积极采取应对政策.

改革开放以来,我国的高等教育 事业迅速发展,但高等教育资源区域分布不均衡问题仍然存在。笔者基于中国科学评价研究中心2010年1月最新发布的《中国大学及学科专业评价报告》,以及 中心多年来在评价过程中所积累的珍贵数据,从高校数量和教育质量两个方面对我国高等教育资源分布现状进行了量化说明和实证分析。我国高等教育资源区域分布 不均衡是由于历史、经济、政治等因素长期作用形成的,有其存在的必然性,但这种不均衡性又会对教育公平和区域经济发展带来严重的危害。

经济增长一方面扩大国家财政规模．财政增长加大对教育事业的投入水平：另一方面经济增长提高 城乡居民的生活收入水平．扩大居民对高等教育的需求与消费。通过对1999—2008年相关数据的考察表明．近年来我国经济发展水平持续稳定地提高．有力 地支撑着扩招以来高等教育发展的规模和速度：与此同时，区域高等教育经费发展尚存在种种不足：政府财政投资意愿不强．经费投入分布不均衡．投入效率不高： 大学学费水平不合理：大学自主筹资的水平过低．

This paper develops a simple model that shows how a country can endogenously become differentiated into an industrialized "core" and an agricultural "periphery. " In order to realize scale economies while minimizing transport costs, manufacturing firms tend to locate in the region with larger demand, but the location of demand itself depends on the distribution of manufacturing. Emergence of a core-periphery pattern depends on transportation costs, economies of scale, and the share of manufacturing in national income. The study of economic geography-of the location of factors of production in space-occupies a relatively small part of standard economic analysis. International trade theory, in particular, conventionally treats nations as dimensionless points (and frequently assumes zero transportation costs between countries as well). Admittedly, models descended from von Thunen (1826) play an important role in urban studies, while Hotelling-type models of locational competition get a reasonable degree of attention in industrial organization. On the whole, however, it seems fair to say that the study of economic geography plays at best a marginal role in economic theory. On the face of it, this neglect is surprising. The facts of economic geography are surely among the most striking features of real-world economies, at least to laymen. For example, one of the most remarkable things about the United States is that in a generally sparsely populated country, much of whose land is fertile, the bulk of the population resides in a few clusters of metropolitan areas; a quarter of the inhabitants are crowded into a not especially inviting section of the East Coast. It has often been noted that nighttime satellite

Abstract: Map makers have long searched for a way to construct cartograms -- maps in which the sizes of geographic regions such as countries or provinces appear in proportion to their population or some other analogous property. Such maps are invaluable for the representation of census results, election returns, disease incidence, and many other kinds of human data. Unfortunately, in order to scale regions and still have them fit together, one is normally forced to distort the regions' shapes, potentially resulting in maps that are difficult to read. Many methods for making cartograms have been proposed, some of them extremely complex, but all suffer either from this lack of readability or from other pathologies, like overlapping regions or strong dependence on the choice of coordinate axes. Here we present a new technique based on ideas borrowed from elementary physics that suffers none of these drawbacks. Our method is conceptually simple and produces useful, elegant, and easily readable maps. We illustrate the method with applications to the results of the 2000 US presidential election, lung cancer cases in the State of New York, and the geographical distribution of stories appearing in the news.
