Features: This book takes "teaching services" in higher education as the research object. Based on modern economic theory, it defines "teaching services" as a private good with positive externalities, thereby proposing important viewpoints on market-oriented reforms in higher education and achieving equal educational opportunities through a broad educational voucher mechanism. The author employs theories and methods from economics, sociology, and education, organically combining theoretical research with empirical analysis to put forward many innovative ideas. On this basis, after considerable time spent on revision, organization, and supplementation, the paper has been made more perfect. This book is a crystallization of the author's years of experience in higher education teaching and research, as well as their research achievements in economics.
