Burton Weisbrod's 1975 article, Toward a theory of the voluntary non-profit sector in a three-sector economy, models non-profit
organisations as suppliers of public goods which are undersupplied by government to heterogeneous populations. This article
examines the implications, extensions and empirical tests of the Weisbrod theory. It also examines the theories of pure and
impure altruism, the heterogeneity hypothesis, and the various ‘publicness’ indexes of non-profit output. The commonalities
between the public good model and the trustworthiness model of non-profit organisations are also explored.

With the revolution of December 1989, citizens of Romania gained the right to form non-profit organisations for the first
time in 40 years. Since then, Romania has begun to explore the frontiers of private initiative through the introduction of
non-profit, non-governmental organisations as well as profit-making businesses. In this article we review the historical development
and legal framework of Romania's emerging non-profit sector. We also provide the first empirical snapshot of that sector by
applying the International Classification of Nonprofit Organizations (ICNPO) developed by Salamon and Anheier to 499 organisations
identified in theSoros Catalogue of Nongovernmental Organizations in Romania: 1991–92. Finally, we speculate on the future development of the Romanian non-profit sector by considering alternative scenarios involving
the relationships between indigenous nonprofits, international NGOs and the Romanian government. 相似文献

A significant number and wide range of Vietnamese non-profit and voluntary organisations have developed since Vietnam embarked
on a programme of economic reform in late 1986. Philanthropy has begun to grow as well, albeit more slowly. The non-profit
and voluntary sector and the state, each face important challenges as development of the sector accelerates. The state has
sought both to encourage growth of non-profit, voluntary and philanthropic institutions, but also to control the pace and
directions of that growth. Those dual aims are reflected in the state's regulation of the sector since the mid-1980s. This
article provides detailed information on the development of the non-profit sector in Vietnam. It examines some common problems
many of the new non-profits and voluntary organisations face and discusses the rapidly changing environment for philanthropy
in Vietnam. The article also reviews the developing legal environment for non-profits and philanthropy, compares the situation
in Vietnam to other countries in transition, and situates the functions of the non-profit sector in Vietnam in the context
of the emerging scholarly literature on functions and models of the non-profit sector and government/non-profit relations.

The article documents the history of the Indian voluntary or non-profit sector involved in socio-economic development of the country. Specifically, three questions are addressed. What type of voluntary organisations existed at what periods of history, and what were their primary activities? Who were the founders, and what were their motives? Can we detect common themes or underlying patterns in the way in which the Indian voluntary sector has developed? Or in other words: what is the institutional genesis of the non-profit or voluntary sector in India? The findings are based on multiple sources — literature review, interviews and observation, and information requested through the mail. The article differs from most historical studies on Indian non-profit organisations because it takes an analytical approach by drawing from contemporary literature on such organisations. 相似文献

Bulgaria, like other East European nations since the collapse of communism, has moved rapidly to form private, self-directed
non-profit and voluntary organisations. Like those nations too, Bulgaria faces a number of challenges in its pursuit of forming
a strong non-profit sector. Chief among those challenges are establishing a sound legal foundation, defining the social purposes
and functions of the non-profit sector, and establishing the legitimacy of these organisations in the minds of the Bulgarian
people. These three challenges are analysed in the essay, following an overview of the current make-up and characteristics
of the emerging non-profit sector. 相似文献

A common feature of most non-profit theories is their concentration on the service-providing role of non-profit organisations, and the neglect of their redistributional role. At the cost of some simplification, there are two possible public policy responses to social inequalities: (1) the welfare state model with welfare redistribution under government control; and (2) the non-profit-based model — a large network of private organisations heavily supported by the government and complemented by government delivery of services. After 40 years of state socialism, Hungary now faces some important questions. What will be the role of the new voluntary sector? What are the possibilities of following the Western European route — a version of the welfare state model — or the American way — a non-profit-based model bolstered by ‘third-party government’? The present Hungarian situation is ambiguous; we can find arguments for and against both. It is also argued that a mixed solution, some cooperation between the public and private sectors, is needed. The Western European, American and Hungarian experiences indicate that only a strong for-profit sector and a developed, harmonious government/non-profit partnership can ensure healthy social and economic development. The present Hungarian situation is far too complex and difficult to promise a fast and conflict-free establishment of this partnership. But both public institutions and government are acting in a way that may result in the development of a government-supported non-profit sector. There may be an opportunity for developing a ‘Hungarian welfare state model’. 相似文献

Ideology and altruism are central to understanding the non-profit charitable sector. This paper addresses three questions. Why do people make charitable gifts? Why do they usually give to non-profit organisations? When can non-profits run by committed ideologues compete with profit-oriented entrepreneurs in the provision of services? the altruistic motives of individuals and the ideological commitments of entrepreneurs come together to support charitable organisations. The non-profit form provides a weak guarantee that gifts are not being syphoned off as profits. Furthermore, independent non-profits can often better reflect donors' desires than public agencies constrained by majoritarian claims, and ideological entrepreneurs can use the non-profit form to reify their beliefs without being accountable to profit-seeking investors. A non-profit organisation can only survive, however, if it can attract money and customers. Sometimes its ideological character will facilitate both tasks. Non-ideological customers may, nevertheless, patronise an ideological non-profit if the entrepreneur's commitment helps to guarantee high quality. 相似文献

Tax-exempt, non-profit organisations represent a significant and growing sector within the US economy. Between 1975 and 1990, assets of tax-exempt organisations increased in real terms by over 150 per cent while the revenue increased by over 227 per cent. This compares to a growth in real GDP of 52 per cent over the same period. A variety of tax policy issues on tax-exempt organisations and the non-profit sector can be addressed using several sources of data collected by the IRS from federal information and tax returns of exempt organisations. The Statistics of Income (SOI) Division, using sample data, conducts studies of many of the different components of the tax-exempt sector, including non-profit charitable organisations, organisations exempt under sections 501(c)(4)-(c)(9), private foundations and 4947(a) charitable trusts, and the unrelated business income of tax-exempt organisations. Income statement, balance sheet and other financial data, as well as a great amount of non-financial information, are collected in these SOI studies. The primary purposes of this article are: first, to document the role of the non-profit sector in the US economy and the evolving growth and change within the sector from the mid-1970s through to the present; and, second, to describe the ongoing SOI studies of tax-exempt organisations, the products and services available through SOI, and the future statistical plans at SOI for data collection and analysis of tax-exempt organisations and the non-profit sector. 相似文献

The relationships between funding heterogeneity and organisational structure and functioning were examined for a panel of non-profit organisations. Resource dependence and institutional theory were used to derive hypotheses predicting positive associations between funding heterogeneity and non-profit boundary spanning, modelling and participation in collective efforts. For non-profits which were less vulnerable to institutional aspects of their environments, funding heterogeneity was found to have a positive effect on boundary spanning, consistent with resource dependence theory. For non-profits which were more vulnerable to institutional factors, on the other hand, funding heterogeneity was found to have positive effects on modelling and participation in collective efforts; consistent with institutional theory. These results argue that resource dependence and institutional theory need to be combined for the analysis of organisation-environment relations and suggest how this could be accomplished.The research described in this article was sponsored by grants from the National Science Foundation, the Program on Nonprofit Organizations at Yale University, and the University of Minnesota. An earlier version of this paper was presented at the 1990 Meetings of the American Sociological Association, August 11–15, Washington, D.C. 相似文献

A significant aspect of public policies in France is the decentralisation of the public sector and the increased importance of local voluntary associations to implement programmes and influence local political arenas. Subsidies to local associations are an important vehicle for the central government in managing its decentralisation policy. Based on a locality sample, data on subsidies to associations were collected in nearly 400 municipalities. Results show that the allocation of subsidies is highly uneven, and part of a complex network in which private non-profit services are linked to the services that were previously part of the public sector. Implications for the French non-profit sector and for the government's decentralisation policy are discussed. 相似文献
