By using a novel panel dataset across 12 years […]

Huafang Li, Jie Liang, Hui Xu, Yingxi Liu Abstract Recently, increasing numbers of nonprofit studies have used experiments to understand individuals’ charitable giving decisions. One significant gap between experimental settings and the real world is the way in which individuals earn the incomes that they use for charitable donations. This study examined the relationship between […]

Qun Wang Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Bloomington, USA Abstract Foundations in China’s nonprofit sector have been increasing in both number and importance. However, scholarly research and nonacademic reports have left a question in the literature waiting to be answered: What led to the recent development and landscape of foundations in China? […]

Qian Wei Department of Sociology, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John’s, Canada Fulltext: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11266-017-9924-3 Abstract Some nonprofits easily attract resources, while others struggle to survive.

A network study shows how these foundations have connected together by sharing board members, in a structural parallel to what is […]

王群 原文：http://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/KnNjetgqZ-FbOc8-RJp5OQ 本文PDF版本：职务性与制度性政治关联对基金会收入的影响  作者简介：善与志联合创始人，邮箱wq@shanyuzhi.com。 在基金会里担任负责人的在职政府工作人员首要处理行政机关的工作，基金会的工作不一定计入其工作绩效，他们具体能对基金会的工作有多少参与值得进一步考察。另外，党政部门早有政策原则上禁止在职政府工作人员在社会组织兼职，所以过分高调貌似也不太好。所以我假设在职政府工作人员在基金会担任负责人的数量应该与基金会的各类收入无关（假设1）。离退休的省部级政府工作人员对捐赠收入的影响目前正在搜寻文献，但我预计他们应该更有可能帮基金会带来政府补贴（假设2），他们之前建立的相对较高级别的政治关联使他们在与政府的对话中更有分量。出于对风险的规避以及缺乏一定的金融背景，这些基金会应该不会将市场手段作为收入的重要途径（假设3）。整体而言，这种基于职务的政治关联对基金会的收入影响非常有限。需要说明的是，使用省部级离退休政府工作人员作为其中一种职务性政治关联有一定的局限性，因为确实不少基金会的负责人中包括低级别的离退休政府工作人员，这些人对基金会的影响，本文无法进行分析。
