does Government Funding alter nonprofit governance evidence from new york city nonprofit contractors
Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 2002Co-Authors: Katherine M Oregan, Sharon M OsterAbstract:Government contracting has raised a collection of issues with respect to adequate oversight and accountability. This paper explores one avenue through which contracting agencies may achieve these tasks: through the governance practices of the contractor's board. Oversight and monitoring are a board's key responsibilities, and influencing a board's practices is one way a Governmental agency can help to insure quality performance. Agencies could thus use both their selection process and their post-contracting power to influence board practice. Using a new, rich data set on the nonprofit contractors of New York City, a series of hypotheses were tested on the relationship between Government Funding and board practices. Significant differences were found to exist in board practices as a function of Government Funding levels, differences that mark a shift of energy away from some activities (i.e., traditional board functions, such as fund-raising) towards others (financial monitoring and advocacy). This suggests that Government agencies may indeed use their contracting choices with an eye to particular governance practices. This increased emphasis on such activities appears to crowd out other activities, and is not unambiguously to the benefit of nonprofit board governance. © 2002 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management.

does Government Funding alter nonprofit governance evidence from new york city nonprofit contractors
Social Science Research Network, 2001Co-Authors: Katherine M Oregan, Sharon M OsterAbstract:This paper explores the relationship between nonprofit board governance practices and Government contracting. Monitoring by a board is one way a Governmental agency can help to insure quality performance by its contractors. Agencies could thus use both their selection process and their post-contracting power to influence board practice. Using a new, rich data set on the nonprofit contractors of New York City, we test a series of hypotheses on the effects of Government Funding on board practices. We find that significant differences exist in board practices as a function of Government Funding levels, differences that mark a shift of focus or energy away from some activities, towards others. Trustees of nonprofits which receive high Government Funding are significantly less likely to engage in the traditional board functions, such as fund raising, while more likely to engage in financial monitoring and advocacy.

public entrepreneurial finance around the globe
Social Science Research Network, 2021Co-Authors: Jessica Bai, Shai Bernstein, Abhishek Dev, Josh LernerAbstract:This paper examines how Government Funding programs geared towards early-stage companies interact with private capital markets. Using hand-collected data on 755 Government programs worldwide, we find that Governments’ allocations to such Funding programs have been comparable to global venture capital disbursements in the past decade. Government programs were more frequent in periods with more private venture activity, a relationship that was stronger in nations with better public governance. The programs’ structures often relied on the local private sector. The private sector’s involvement was greater when Government programs targeted earlier-stage companies and when rankings of Government effectiveness were higher. We find that such Government Funding programs increased local innovation, particularly when the programs focused on early-stage ventures or collaborated with the private sector. These findings are most consistent with the explanation that the reliance on private capital markets enabled Governments to mitigate investment frictions and improve capital allocation.

Do patents of academic funded researchers enjoy a longer life? A study of patent renewal decisions.
'Public Library of Science (PLoS)', 2018Co-Authors: Leila Tahmooresnejad, Catherine BeaudryAbstract:This paper assesses the extent to which patent renewal data is associated with Government Funding in a university context by focusing on the relationship between the funded patentees and renewal decisions of their patents. The aim of this paper is to show whether receiving Funding from Government contributes to high-value patents as measured by the patent renewal decisions made by their owners. Our observations of academic nanotechnology patents in Canada discovered a positive relationship between funded researchers and the rate of patent renewal after 4 years. Further analysis is also undertaken into the relative impact on patent renewal after 8 years and 12 years. Our results suggest that the length of patent renewal in numbers of years can be related to levels of Government Funding received by their inventors

the relative influences of Government Funding and international collaboration on citation impact
Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2019Co-Authors: Loet Leydesdorff, Lutz Bornmann, Caroline S WagnerAbstract:A recent publication in Nature reports that public RD defined by Scopus). On the basis of the supplementary data, we up-scaled the design using Web of Science data for the decade 2003-2013 and OECD Funding data for the corresponding decade assuming a 2-year delay (2001-2011). Using negative binomial regression analysis, we found very small coefficients, but the effects of international collaboration are positive and statistically significant, whereas the effects of Government Funding are negative, an order of magnitude smaller, and statistically nonsignificant (in two of three analyses). In other words, international collaboration improves the impact of research articles, whereas more Government Funding tends to have a small adverse effect when comparing OECD countries.

the relative influences of Government Funding and international collaboration on citation impact
arXiv: Digital Libraries, 2017Co-Authors: Loet Leydesdorff, Lutz Bornmann, Caroline S WagnerAbstract:In a recent publication in Nature, Wagner & Jonkers (2017) report that public RD defined by Scopus). On the basis of the supplementary data, we upscaled the design using Web-of-Science data for the decade 2003-2013 and OECD Funding data for the corresponding decade assuming a two-year delay (2001-2011). Using negative binomial regression analysis, we find very small coefficients, but the effects of international collaboration are positive and statistically significant, whereas the effects of Government Funding are negative, an order of magnitude smaller, and statistically non-significant (in two of three analyses). In other words, international collaboration improves the impact of average research papers, whereas more Government Funding tends to have a small adverse effect when comparing OECD countries.
