Does Learning Matter for Knee Replacement Surgeries? Data Evidence from a German Hospital

In 2003, Germany will be the first country in the world to adopt a fully prospective payment system for the reimbursement of all inpatient hospital services. To face the increasing competition, hospitals can pursue either a specialization or a cost and quality leadership strategy. It stands to reason that organizational and individual learning will play an important role for both strategies. This paper raises the question, whether results from traditional learning curve theory can be applied to surgical procedures despite the latter's heterogeneity. We develop a theoretical model of surgical learning and test it using detailed operating room data from the first 601 total knee replacement surgeries of a small German hospital between 1994–2000. Our results suggest that classical learning curve theory can indeed be applied to this high cost high volume procedure.     

我国行政紧急程序之立法完善

行政机关在应对突发紧急事件的过程中,所采取的行政处理方式有别于常规状态下的法律运作机制,这有利于及时有效恢复社会正常运行状态。但紧急情势下,行政权力的行使也表现出较大的优先性、强制性、紧急性,在缺乏有效约束机制的情况下,权力具有被恣意行使和滥用的可能,从而对公民合法权利产生威胁。我国有必要以行政程序立法的方式设定行政紧急程序有关内容,以实现紧急突发事件中公权力行使与公民权利保护之间的平衡。     

Event management research over the past 12 years: What are the current trends in research methods,data collection,data analysis procedures,and event types?

The meetings, expositions, events, and conventions sector has gained recognition as an academic field by growth in higher education programs including courses, programs, and textbooks, as well as research. The purpose of the extant research is to review event, tourism, and hospitality journals from 2004 to 2016 to provide insight into the current state of research in terms of data collection and data analysis procedures. Results can assist researchers identify the type of journal to target for publication with consideration of the type of event, methods, and data analysis procedures.

论农业直接补贴的方式和程序改革——基于广东省的实证研究

我国农业直接补贴政策实施近十年以来明显地改变了政府与农民之间的关系,得到了广大农民群众的支持,对农民增收和粮食安全也起到了一定的作用,但在实践中也暴露出了农民认知度不高、补贴对象失焦、目标异化等问题,到了需要总结完善的节点。对广东省的实证的研究表明,我国应对农业直接补贴政策适时法制化,并对农业直接补贴的对象和具体操作方式和程序进行调整,以切实发挥其效用,防止制度实践中的异化。

An experimental analysis of the effects of automated mitigation procedures on investment and prices in wholesale electricity markets

In this paper we report the findings of an economic experiment that examines the effects of an automated mitigation procedure (AMP) on prices and capacity investment choices of suppliers in a wholesale electricity market. Specifically, we examine the effects of different market power incentives on markets with and without an AMP. While we find that the AMP does not affect overall investment in capacity, the most significant determinant of long-run prices is investment in new capacity. The AMP also does not reduce long-run prices relative to markets without an AMP. Furthermore, our participants successfully manipulated the AMP’s trigger price. The data and a sample copy of the instructions are available upon request.
