Measuring Hospital Performance in the Presence of Quasi-Fixed Inputs: An Analysis of Québec Hospitals

This research proposes an approach to measure hospital performance based on a generalization of Banker and Morey (1986) and Førsund (1996). This approach considers quasi-fixed inputs explicitly, calculates their implicit cost, and quantifies returns to scale. The performance measure is decomposed into allocative and technical inefficiencies. Based on a very complete data set of Québec hospitals, we find that significant inefficiencies of up to 17% ($700 CAN million) could have been saved through improved performance. Postestimation analyses that include qualitative measures of care suggest that differences in performance are attributable to differences in management or unobservable quality of care rather than patient case mix.

Employer Penalties for Failure to Provide Individual Employee Notification Under the Family and Medical Leave Act: “Clarifications” Following Ragsdale v. Wolverine Worldwide, Inc.

This article examines the Supreme Court's ruling in Ragsdale v. Wolverine Worldwide, Inc. (2002) and considers its implications for employer and employee rights and responsibilities relative to implementing the FMLA policies. We provide an overview of the pre-decision regulatory environment including the general leave provisions of the FMLA and DOL's regulations requiring employer notification of leave designated as FMLA leave. We also identify those provisions that the decision did not alter and provide a broader consideration of the issues and implication of this decision for employers and employees.     

知识产权侵权归责原则探析——谈无过错责任原则的不适用

知识产权侵权损害赔偿采用何种归责原则,事关知识产权权利人的权益及普遍公众的公共利益.无过错责任原则在知识产权侵权损害赔偿领域的适用打破了知识产权权利人和公共利益的平衡,影响了知识产权制度平衡机制的正常运转,歪曲了知识产权激励机制的本意,束缚了一般民事主体创造知识产品的热情.无过错责任原则在知识产权领域的适用有其天然的弊端和不足,而TRIPS协议第45条也并未将该原则作为一般原则来对待,即便按照民法学方法分析,知识产权侵权损害赔偿也不应适用无过错责任原则.     

Diversification Benefits of Japanese Real Estate Over the Last Four Decades

This paper studies the benefits of diversifying into real estate and other assets that typify the wealth held by Japanese investors. We examine movements in mean variance frontiers by employing spanning tests to assess the statistical significance of frontier shifts. We also investigate the impact of shifts in mean variance frontiers before and after the precipitous decline in Japanese real estate and stock market values that began in 1990. Spanning tests show that real estate, short and long-term bonds, and Japanese equity provide significant diversification benefits. We find that mean variance frontiers shift after 1990. Statistically significant shifts are also economically important as measured by Sharpe ratio changes. Although significant, the portfolio weights on Japanese real estate are relatively small compared to their composition found in surveys of Japanese household wealth.     

农业适度规模经营及其效益实证研究——以四川省为例

[目的]文章利用生产函数法分析农业适度规模经营影响因素,依据"成本-效益"理论建模,试图为掌握农业发展规律提供参考依据。[方法]以四川省为实证,收集2006~2015年四川省农村居民农业生产基本情况和数据形式,其中数据形式主要包含土地资本、流动资本、固定资本以及劳动资本的投入等,采用软件SPSS分析人均耕地规模指数,并根据数据分析农业规模经营适度范围,寻求四川省农村居民的最佳经营规模点Q及农业适度规模经营区间[Q_1,Q_2]。[结果]分析得出四川省农村居民人均耕地适度经营范围为:0.227 456~0.412 534 hm~2。[结论]农业适度规模经营受多方面因素的影响,通常与土地产出弹性和劳动力工资成正比,与劳动力产出弹性及地租成反比;规模经营效益在发展农业适度规模经营过程中应注重各个方面效益的同时提高,既要追求经济效益,也要注重社会效益和生态效益,以确保整体效益的最大化。
