Features: Educational economics explores the economic laws in the field of education from a unique perspective. In today's era of revitalizing the nation through technology, the importance of its study is becoming increasingly prominent. However, it is not optimistic that China's research in educational economics is relatively weak. Based on a shift in perspective to revitalize education and enrich the nation, this book systematically explains the important role and research objects of educational economics. It not only reveals the theme that "the integration of education and economy is an inevitable choice for the development of the times" but also concludes that "innovating education can reflect the characteristics of the knowledge economy era." The content covers multiple aspects, including educational strategy, educational resources, educational information, educational decision-making, educational legislation, educational structure and layout, educational environment and conditions, among others. Particularly, it introduces the application of principles and methods in educational economics, leading to discussions on topics such as the laws of educational supply and demand, the industrial system of education, educational cost investment, and the evaluation of educational output. It offers practical reflections that connect theory with reality, aligning with the objective requirements and inevitable trends of integrating education and economic development.
