【摘要】In contrast to previous studies on the economic impact of universities that focus onthe demand side, this study centres on universities’ effects on the supply side of the economy.Through a case study of the Spanish University System, this paper proposes a methodologybased on counterfactual scenarios and growth accounting to estimate the long-term impacts ofuniversities on their regional economies. Our study evaluates the stylized impacts of universi-ties’ activities on human capital, salaries and occupation of the working age population, ongeneration of technological capital and, ?nally, on the GDP growth of the Spanish economy inthe period 1989–2010.
