Institutional diversity and safe drinking water provision in the United States

In the United States, community water systems are not only numerous but also diverse. Nonetheless, operational scale and public versus private ownership have dominated the understanding of safe water access, leaving underexplored many other factors related to governance. Applying insights from the Institutional Analysis and Design literature, we create and analyze a dataset of California's water systems classified into 26 structural types associated with distinct governance institutions. We document differences in the number of Safe Drinking Water Act violations among these types and demonstrate their relevance for implementing solutions targeting non-compliance. Advancing equitable access necessitates greater attention to organizational structure and institutional diversity in drinking water provision.     

Governance of institutional complexity in megaproject organizations

A significant research gap exists in our understanding of how to govern institutional complexity in megaproject organizations. In this paper, we conduct a case study of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge project in order to elaborate on whence institutional complexity emerges and how institutional complexity affects project outcomes and shapes actors' behaviors. We find that institutional complexity stems from both external (macro-level) environments and internal actors (micro-level environments), and consists of regulatory, political, and social complexity and cultural, evolutionary, and relational complexity, respectively. In addition, we find that institutional complexity from the macro environments will result in constraint conflicts in megaproject organizations, whereas the different practices and identities of the project's various micro-actors will create organizational conflicts. We also find that actors within the megaproject organizations choose different responses when faced with different types of institutional complexity. Our approach offers conceptual refinements and a new sensitizing framework for guiding studies of how, in practice, to govern institutional complexity of megaproject organizations.     

基于法律政策和检测性质的市县级食药检测机构整合探讨

本研究通过国家认证认可监督管理委员会发布的《2016年度检验检测服务业统计报告》相关数据,基于食品药品法律政策、检测性质、规模效应、检测能力建设等方面,对基层食品药品类检验检测资源整合路径进行论证分析。面对当前事业单位机构改革,本研究提出市县级食品药品类检验检测机构应进行跨行业、跨部门、跨层级优化整合的建议,建立以政府实验室为基础、市场检测为补充的食品药品安全检验检测资源配置模式,为实现基层食品药品安全监管现代化治理提供良好的检验检测技术服务支撑能力。     

中国矿产资源产业扶贫与可持续发展的路径探析

目前,我国已经到了扶贫攻坚的关键时期。矿产资源产业扶贫作为一种重要扶贫路径,还没有充分发挥其重要作用,仍存在许多不足之处。需在国家统筹规划的基础上,从建立收益分配制度、完善激励约束机制、构建多元化经营模式、实施差异化政策、发扬基层党组织建设优势等五个方面综合施策,促进矿业发展和贫困户脱贫致富,实现贫困地区可持续发展。     

2019年我国石油市场分析与2020年展望

2019年,我国成品油消费增速放缓,炼油产能快速扩张使成品油产量增速加快,成品油净出口再创新高;在增储上产政策促动下,国内原油储产量探底回升;受炼油能力增长拉动原油净口量仍较快增长、首次突破5亿t,对外依存度依然维持高位。油气体制改革举措逐步落地,石油市场进一步开放、主体多元化进程加快,油气管网运营机制改革取得标志性进展,同时在调整税费政策、完善油气资源开发利用政策等方面出台了系列规定。新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情对一季度我国成品油需求造成较大影响,但将逐步回复,全年成品油需求预计低速增长,原油产量有望持续回升,炼油能力持续较快增长将推动成品油出口继续增加。     

Cloud computing adoption in Ghana; accounting for institutional factors

In spite of increasing adoption of Cloud Computing (CC) by organizations in developed countries, the rate of adoption of the technology in sub-Saharan Africa has stagnated, although it has the potential to accelerate the speed of digital transformation. This paper contributes to the extant literature in this light by examining how the institutional environment influences the adoption of cloud computing. We investigated the role of mimetic, coercive and normative institutional pressures in predicting adoption outcomes of cloud computing among organizations in the region. After testing three main hypotheses and ten corollaries, and analyzing data collected from seventy-nine organizations with the partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), the study found that the institutional pressures (mimetic, coercive and normative) explain 27% of the variance in cloud computing adoption. The mimetic – CC adoption path coefficient of 0.35 made the biggest contribution to the model while the normative – CC adoption path was the least contributor with a path coefficient of 0.18. The findings explain the determinants of adoption of CC in environments of low adoption and institutional challenges.     

我国矿产资源安全战略研究

资源安全是国家安全的重要组成部分,影响到国家的政治、经济、国防、社会等各个方面。我国小康社会的全面建设,对资源安全提出了更高的要求。矿产资源问题是国际争端的根源,西方大国一直在加紧争夺全球矿产,渗透到了全球各主要矿产资源富集区。而我国的国内资源供应不足,“走出去”战略力度不够,资源供应问题正面临着巨大的挑战。深刻分析了我国矿产资源安全面临的形势和问题,并提出了我国矿产资源的安全战略与措施,认为解决我国的资源安全问题要树立资源观念、建立相关的法律体系、给予政策支持、鼓励科技创新、培育矿业集团、建立资源储备及加强资源管理。
