Aaron Friedberg’s thoughtful and thought-provoking A Contest for Supremacy does many things well, but what it does best is to underscore the uncertainties and contingencies that must be factored into any analysis of China’s rise and its implications for the United States and other nations.]]>Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:52:09 PSThttp://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23585?http://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23551Modern China, September 2011
Focusing on the episodes of the government’s Paved Road to Every Village (PREV) project in an agricultural township in northern China, this article examines two research issues: First, the role of state policies, government bureaucracies, and village cadres in the provision of public goods, especially the unintended consequences that led to huge collective debts and the erosion of the collective basis of governance and second, the role of local institutions and social relations in resource mobilization, problem solving, and response to crises, especially in the aftermath of the PREV project.]]>Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:04:07 PSThttp://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23551?http://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23550The China Quarterly vol. 208, December 2011
Based on ethnographic research on the autumn harvest in a township in northern China, this study sheds light on distinctive modes of market transactions across produces, and diverse interactions between markets and local institutions involving different co-ordination mechanisms, rhythms and social relationships.]]>Thu, 19 Jan 2012 11:57:02 PSThttp://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23550?http://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23549Chinese Sociological Review vol. 44, No. 1, Fall 2011
The prevailing image in the economic and legal literature portrays property rights as “a bundle of rights” and emphasizes their exclusivity, autonomy, and stability. Building on Zhou (2005), the authors elaborate and illustrate an alternative theoretical model to conceptualize property rights as a relational concept.]]>Thu, 19 Jan 2012 11:46:29 PSThttp://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23549?http://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23548Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology & Diabetes vol. 120, No. 1, January 2012
Clinical factors, especially presence of diabetes-related complications, appear to be the primary determinants of variation in inpatient costs for patients with type 2 DM in China. To mitigate the health costs increases associated with China's DM epidemic, policymakers should focus on cost-effective ways to manage patients in outpatient settings to prevent the complications associated with diabetes.]]>Thu, 19 Jan 2012 15:15:06 PSThttp://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23548?http://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23547International Journal for Quality in Health Care vol. 23, No. 4, August 2011
While South Korea's universal health insurance system may have succeeded in substantially reducing financial barriers related to diabetes care, the quality of diabetes care is low overall and varies by education level. System-level quality improvement efforts are required to address the weaknesses of the health system, thereby mitigating educational disparities in diabetes care quality.]]>Thu, 19 Jan 2012 15:16:12 PSThttp://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23547?http://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23546Journal of Institutional Economics, FirstView Article, December 2011
Health systems provide a rich field for testing hypotheses of institutional economics. The incentive structure of current healthcare delivery systems have deep historical and cultural roots, yet must cope with rapid technological change as well as market and government failures. This paper applies the economic approach of comparative and historical institutional analysis to health care systems by conceptualizing physician control over dispensing revenues as a social institution.]]>Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:37:41 PSThttp://aparc.stanford.edu/publications/23546?
