L'efficacité des privatisations françaises : une vision dynamique à travers la théorie de la gouvernance
2004
International audience; A reading of the process of privatization through the corporate governance theory leads to propose a model taking into account, on the one hand, the time dimension of the process of privatization, on the other hand, the contextual, organizational, governance and strategic variables which influence this process. After replicating some traditional tests, we test this model on a sample of French privatized firms and on a seven years horizon. The positive effect traditionally attributed to privatizations is not confirmed. The importance of the effect is subordinated to some of the suggested variables.; Une lecture du processus de privatisation à travers la théorie de la …

The Impact of Entrepreneur-CEOs in Microfinance Institutions: A Global Survey
2013
- Peer reviewed Microfinance is a global high-growth industry, in which entrepreneurship is prevalent and substantial. Based on the theoretical argument that microfinance entrepreneur-CEOs are “motivated agents” with a unique ability to hire and socialize mission-oriented staff, we hypothesize that these CEOs produce more sustainable microfinance institutions with better social performance and lower costs. This study utilizes data from 295 microfinance institutions in 73 developing countries, assessed between 1998 and 2010. Our empirical evidence suggests that entrepreneur-managed microfinance institutions feature higher social performance, greater financial sustainability, and lower costs.
Influence of online transparency on efficiency. Analysis of spanish NGDOs
2020
This study examines (a) whether nongovernmental development organizations (NGDOs) disseminate relevant information for their stakeholders through their web pages, information that after being reviewed and evaluated by external organizations such as the Spanish Coordinator of Development NGO or Lealtad Foundation, allowed these NGDOs to obtain a seal of transparency and (b) whether their level of transparency influences efficiency. To determine online transparency, web pages of seal-approved NGDOs were reviewed to assess the availability of relevant information. This paper uses data envelopment analysis to assess the efficiency using an input orientation. To determine the influence of online…
Resultado económico y de empleo en las organizaciones sociales de origen familiar
2018
La Unión Europea ha apostado por el modelo de empresa social como una herramienta para corregir los desequilibrios socioeconómicos en los países miembros. En el contexto de la economía española, las organizaciones familiares destacan debido a su fuerte presencia y apoyo. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la relación entre el rendimiento económico y el nivel de empleo, como indicador de impacto social, en las organizaciones aragonesas de origen familiar, así como las diferencias en esta interacción cuando la forma lucrativa o no lucrativa de la estructura formada por la unidad familiar se introduce como variable moderadora. Para ello, se obtuvo una muestra de 2.931 empresas y 117 funda…
How to make head or tail of ‘bridging’ and ‘bonding’?: addressing the methodological ambiguity1
2008
A distinction has recently been proposed between bridging (or encompassing) and bonding (or inward-looking) social networks. However, existing theoretical contributions remain vague as to the fundamental meaning of both concepts. As a consequence, two distinct interpretations have developed alongside each other. In the present paper, we employ data on voluntary association membership in Flanders to empirically illustrate that both approaches can lead to substantially different outcomes and therefore appear to tap into different dimensions of bridging versus bonding. These findings underline the problematic nature of the current conceptual ambiguity. We conclude that should the bridging/bond…

El sector no lucrativo desde el enfoque de la elección pública: Cuando la oferta no lucrativa de bienes públicos es el resultado de decisiones emanad…
2001
The voluntary supply of collective goods by nonprofit institutions has deserved little attention in the Public Choice literature, and the clasical nonprofits approach does not consider nonprofits supply as a collective decision, although individuals, either as consumers or as donors, are in the center of their theoretical constructs. In this paper we hypothesize that voluntary nonprofits' provision is a collective choice. We present a model in which the members of a community, both those who fund the nonprofits and those who do not (free riders) vote, so choosing between a political program of governmental supply and a political program of non governmental supply. Afterward, they must also …
