Does Nursing Home Ownership Change Affect Family Ratings on Experience with Care?

Person-centeredness may suffer in nursing homes (NHs) with recent ownership changes. This study identifies associations between ownership change and reported care experiences, important measures of person-centered care for long-term residents in Maryland NHs. Care experience measures and ownership change data were collected from Maryland Health Care Commission reports, which reported data on 220 Maryland NHs from 2011 and 2012. Facility and market covariates were obtained from 2011 NH Compare and Area Health Resource Files. Linear regression was used to examine whether ownership change in 2011 was associated with lower care experience ratings reported during April to June 2012. Dependent variables were overall care rating (scale 1–10), percentage of respondents answering that they would recommend the NH, and assessments of five care and resident life domains (scale 1–4). Care experiences reported in 2012 were high; however, after controlling for covariates, ownership change was associated with significant decreases in 6 out of 7 measures, including a 0.39-point decrease in overall care rating (p = .001). NH managers and policy makers should consider strategies to improve patient-centeredness after ownership change.     

论壮族乡村人口外流与传统农业耕作文化变迁——以壮乡伏台为例

改革开放后,壮族农村社会卷入了外出务工的浪潮中,大量青壮年人口从农村流向城市,成为一种特定的文化现象.这一现象的产生,直接影响了壮族农村的社会文化和生产生活,尤其体现在壮乡传统农业耕作实践与耕种文化诸多方面的变迁上,包括农业内卷化状态的改善,劳动工具使用的变革,及以耕作歌消逝、农业祭祀仪式消亡和传统节庆习俗没落等为呈现的耕作文化变迁.

国际化双元与企业绩效的关系研究综述

国际化双元是近年来国际化创新领域中出现的新概念,是企业动态能力的体现.通过对国际化双元的概念内涵、维度划分和测度方法进行梳理,分析其与企业绩效的路径关系,以及存在的调节机制或中介机制,可以发现现有研究中,无论是国际化双元的衡量标准还是情境机制都不够完善,仍存在很大的探索空间,需要进一步的完善和丰富.     

中国城乡居民过度教育考察:CHNS数据的经验分析

运用CHNS数据,采用实际匹配法,对我国过度教育进行了测度和分析。结果表明,我国存在过度教育现象,且从时间上有不断增加趋势,筛选理论能够更好地解释我国过度教育的发生。此外,不足教育相伴发生,但处于下降趋势;城市居民过度教育发生程度高于农村居民,且城市居民过度教育发生集中在社会地位较高的职业中,而农村居民过度教育发生集中在社会地位相对较低的职业,这一定程度反映了城乡居民教育机会和就业机会不均等,这是今后政策实施需要重点考虑的地方。     

A Study on the Compensation Gap among Executives at Chinese Enterprises*

Based on data for 2005 to 2012, an analysis of the compensation gap between top executives at different Chinese listed companies reveals the following conclusions. (1) The large compensation gap existing among executives at listed Chinese companies—in some years even larger than that between rank-and-file employees—is mainly caused by the exorbitant executive compensation at a minority of companies. (2) Between 2005 and 2012, the compensation gap first widened dramatically and then diminished gradually. The leading factor in this fluctuation was the drastic rise and fall in the level of executive compensation at a handful of financial enterprises. The main reason for the narrowing of the compensation gap is central government regulation, which has helped to curb the excessive growth of executive compensation in society as a whole. (3) Even in the same round of fluctuation, state-owned listed companies differ markedly from non-state-owned listed companies in the way their executive compensation is decided. (4) State-owned listed companies’ executive compensation strategies and their internal governance structure have not played their due role in moderating the overly rapid growth of their executives’ compensation or in reducing the compensation gap.
