摘要:
How to recruit managers is a central question for public sector organizations. Exploiting a unique random assignment of administrators to counties in imperial China, we study how merit-based recruitment of managers affects government performance in multiple tasks. Combining personnel records and administrative archival data, we find that merit-recruited administrators through civil service exams (as opposed to other non-merit-based recruitment) performed better in public goods provision and tax collection, and were more likely to be recognized for their achievements by the local public. Evidence suggests that these administrators were associated with better management of subordinates. Examining their dual role as judges, we use criminal case data to show that cases judged by merit-recruited administrators had shorter durations, indicating enhanced judicial efficiency. Finally, merit-recruited administrators were less likely to come from elite families and have connections to incumbent top officials. Our results highlight the importance of competitive and open recruitment as a cornerstone of effective public organizations.

摘要:
在全球范围内,已经付出了大量努力来减少低价值医疗服务,但在中国尚未制定低价值医疗服务的度量标准。本研究旨在开发基于医院出院记录的低价值手术措施,评估其利用及相关支出。此外,尽管前期研究展开了一系列旨在降低低价值医疗服务利用的干预,但效果不佳。我们认为原因在于低价值医疗服务利用的“危险因素”归因分析的欠缺。鉴于此,我们以医院产权为例,展开归因的风险比和相应的负担贡献的分析。
