公司捐赠行为的效力分析--兼谈公司捐赠的立法完善

逾越权能原则在各国立法和司法实践中有日趋衰微的趋势。公司捐赠行为的效力与公司的目的范围具有密切的关系。法院在对公司捐赠行为的效力进行裁判的过程中是基于交易安全理念和对相关主体的利益平衡的基础上进行的。应该在立法中对公司捐赠行为的相关问题做出规定,以期公司法更加完善。

Righting anachronistic exclusions: The ethics of blood donation by men who have sex with men

ABSTRACT

Recently, the FDA announced that it would soon lift the long-standing lifetime ban on blood donation by men who have sex with men (MSM). Reexamining blood donation by MSM, it is clear that there are several ethical goods that must be balanced. Through balancing the primary duty to safety with the imperatives to craft a policy that is formally equal, upholds the public's trust, and is nondiscriminatory, an ethical blood donation deferral guideline may be advanced, both for MSM and the population at large.     

美国高等教育捐赠文化透视

本文在简要回顾美国悠久的慈善传统的基础上,分析了美国高校捐赠文化的历史、宗教以及其他方面的原因,认为基督教信仰不仅仅是美国人努力创造财富的原动力,也是他们因罪富而馈赠个人所有于社会的根本原因,同时也是捐赠高等教育的出发点;另外,工业革命后的实用主义哲学助推了美国人兴资办学的热诚;最后,规范的捐赠制度和法规,确保了美国高校捐赠的健康发展。美国高校捐赠资金庞大,作用突出,对我国高等教育在资金筹措方面有积极的启发和借鉴作用。     

Adolescents Conceived through Donor Insemination in Mother‐Headed Families: A Qualitative Study of Motivations and Experiences of Contacting and Meeting Same‐donor Offspring

This study interviewed adolescents conceived using sperm donation to examine their experiences of contacting and meeting ‘same‐donor offspring’ (i.e. donor‐conceived offspring raised in different families who share the same donor), their motivations for this contact, and how they make meaning of these relationships. This in‐depth qualitative study involved semi‐structured interviews with 23 young people aged 12–19 years (mean = 14 years). Interviewees were motivated by curiosity about their biological relations and by wanting to extend their family. Contact with same‐donor offspring was described as being either normal/neutral or as a unique experience that was integrated into their identity. This study highlights the importance of contact between same donor offspring, particularly during adolescence, a developmental stage associated with identity formation. The findings have important policy implications as they suggest that donor‐conceived individuals may benefit from contact with others conceived using the same donor prior to the age of 18 years.     

Unaddressed problems and research perspectives in scheduling blood collection from donors

Many optimisation problems arise in managing the Blood Donation (BD) supply chain. Most of them have been addressed in the literature, while other problems, e.g. donation scheduling, have not been sufficiently addressed so far. However, blood collection from donors may have a disruptive impact on the entire BD supply chain if not properly managed. For example, scheduling donation appointments based on some system metrics may improve the flow of blood units through the BD supply chain and increase the quality of service perceived by donors. In this short communication, we present the donation scheduling problem and highlight the lack of work in the literature that deals with this problem. Then, we analyse the impact of an unbalanced flow of blood units on the BD system and the benefits that may derive from a suitable appointment scheduling. Finally, we propose suggestions for future research in BD collection scheduling that may improve the BD process.     

Testing the Effectiveness of Fundraiser Job Titles in Charitable Bequest and Complex Gift Planning

Traditional fundraiser job titles are often institution centered, focusing on the benefits of fundraising as “institutional advancement” or “institutional development.” Such institution‐centered job titles may not be as effective with donors given the modern shift toward donor‐centered philanthropy. Alternative job titles can be gift centered (for example, “major gifts”) or donor centered (for example, “donor advising”). A survey of 3,188 respondents tested sixty‐three job titles in four charitable scenarios: a charitable bequest gift, a gift of stock, a gift of real estate, and a charitable gift annuity. Measured by which person donors would be more likely to contact to discuss each donation, the worst‐performing titles were the traditional institution‐focused fundraiser job titles, in particular those using “advancement,” “institutional advancement,” or “development.” This was also true when examining only respondents who had made large gifts ($500+) to a charity. Traditional institution‐focused job titles are both the most commonly used and the worst performing. Nonprofit managers may do well to consider the donor's perspective when selecting job titles for fundraisers rather than following traditional industry practices.     

改革开放以来我国慈善经济发展中存在的问题及反思

慈善捐赠是一个社会文明程度的重要标志。新中国成立以来,特别是近十多年来,我国慈善经济的发展取得了巨大成就。但总体看来,我国目前慈善捐赠状况不尽人意,仍存在种种问题。文章通过简单的建模和计量分析,对我国慈善经济与经济发展之间的相互关系进行了反思。     

女性董事对企业社会责任履行的影响——以慈善捐赠为例

以2002-2014年中国A股非金融类上市公司为研究样本,利用社会角色理论分析了女性董事影响慈善捐赠的作用机理,相对于男性董事,女性董事的“公共型”特征使得她们天生就有同情心,乐于助人和关怀他人,此外还因受性别刻板印象的影响,使得女性董事更加关注慈善捐赠,也愿意积极参与上市公司的慈善捐赠决策.考虑到中国上市公司聘请女性董事可能存在自选择偏误问题,本文采用Heckman两阶段模型有效控制了自选择偏误产生的内生性问题.研究结果表明,董事会中有女性董事的上市公司的慈善捐赠多于没有女性董事的上市公司.文章的研究在一定程度上解释了女性董事为什么会影响上市公司的慈善捐赠,揭示了女性董事在董事会所扮演的角色,对上市公司聘请女性董事和积极履行社会责任都具有重要的参考价值.
