实现共同富裕是中国特色社会主义的战略目标，高等教育是迈向共同富裕目标的重要动力之一，其带来的公共收益促进了成果共享与经济增长，具体表现在高管推动企业参与公益事业中。本研究主要利用2012—2020年国泰安CSMAR与企业共同富裕数据库，考察高管的高等教育与籍贯背景对企业参与公益事业的影响。研究发现，高等教育在公益事业的推动中具有重要作用；从行为与投入力度上看，优质的高等教育在企业公益事业投入的力度纵深上凸显出独特作用；同时，高管在推动企业参与公益事业上呈现籍贯的异质性表现，籍贯为中西部的高学历高管是推动企业参与公益事业的重要力量。因此，需以优惠政策引导公益事业，鼓励企业高管积极承担社会责任；提升高等教育质量，促使企业公益事业加大投入；扩大中西部优质高等教育机会，充分发挥公共收益以更好地实现共同富裕目标。

To achieve common prosperity for all the people is the strategic goal of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and higher education is one of the important drivers towards the goal of common prosperity.The sense of social responsibility cultivated in higher education and the public benefits promote the sharing of achievements and economic growth, and is reflected in the promotion of enterprises’ participation in public good by top managers. We use the data of listed companies in China from 2012 to 2020 to investigate the impact of top managers’ high quality university educational backgrounds and their native places on Chinese enterprises’ participation in public good. Our results show that higher education plays an important role in the promotion of public good. From the perspective of behavior and intensity, high-quality higher education highlights a unique role in the depth and intensity of corporate philanthropy.There are regional heterogeneity among top managers in promoting enterprises’ participation in public good. Top managers who were born in the midwest are more likely to promote enterprises’ participation in public good. Our results have the following policy implications. The government should encourage top managers to actively assume social responsibilities with preferential policies, improve the quality of higher education to promote the in-depth development of public good, expand the opportunities of quality higher education in central and western regions, give full play to public benefits and better achieve the goal of common prosperity.
