接管放弃的决定因素及后果

过去三十年接管行为引起了学术界的广泛关注,其中大多数研究关注于成功的接管,尤其是研究接管行为对被接管目标公司和竞价公司双方股东财富的影响。与成功接管不同的是,被迫放弃的接管行为(即接管放弃)相对而言受学术界的关注较少。这种令人惊讶的现象是因为相当大比例的接管竞价不成功。本文试图通过对接管失败方面文献的综合调研来说明这种研究上的偏颇。本文关注于两方面文献:第一,回顾和讨论可能影响接管结果的因素;第二,分别从目标公司和竞价公司的角度考察接管放弃的后果。还要分析未来的研究领域,这将进一步深化公司对接管放弃的因果关系的认识。

Federalism Revised: The Promise and Challenge of the No Child Left Behind Act

Federalism in education has undergone significant changes since the Winter Commission. During the early 1990s, federal policy makers faced the challenge of organizational fragmentation and policy incoherence in public education. In the last 15 years, the intergovernmental system has evolved from one that is predominantly compliance‐driven to one that is performance based, as suggested by the congressional adoption of the No Child Left Behind Act in 2001. While the former is often characterized by images of “picket fence” federalism and administrative silos, the latter remains very much a work in progress, with the promise of raising academic proficiency. This paper first examines the paradigm shift and then considers emerging politics in intergovernmental relations. The author explores the ways in which state and local policy makers are altering the rules governing education service provision in response to performance‐based federal expectations.
