Spatial spillover effects of swine insurance policy on swine production efficiency in China by Jingyue Feng, Wenbo Zhang, Lin Wang, Bo Hu, Fengjie Xie

“…China’s swine insurance policy serves as a key institutional mechanism for strengthening risk mitigation and resilience, rigorously evaluation of the policy’s impact on swine production efficiency is essential for optimizing agricultural insurance mechanisms and advancing sustainability in the swine industry.MethodsThis study treats the pilot implementation of the swine insurance policy as a quasi-natural experiment, drawing on panel data from 30 Chinese provinces over the years from 2005 to 2021, it employs a spatial difference-in-differences (SDID) model and a mediation effect model to empirically examine the impact of the swine insurance policy on swine production efficiency.ResultsThe results reveal that the swine insurance policy significantly improves swine production efficiency in the implementing provinces and generates substantial spatial spillover effects, the boundary of spatial effect decay is 250 km. …”

CALCULATION AND ANALYSIS IN THE EFFICIENCY OF APPLYING THE QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS WITHIN INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS by ANDREI DIAMANDESCU, VIRGILIU-LUCIAN IONIȚĂ

“…If in terms of the total quality management system – TQM, the impact may be measured by comparing the business performance with a reference standard (for instance ISO 9001), which records the difference compared to the performance prior to implementing the TQM, or, on rarer occasions, by optimizing the costs of quality with the help of econometric models, for the integrated quality improvement system, comprising of the TQM system based on the ISO standards and the Kaizen management system, which we propose and assess within this article, the efficiency/performance will be measured through a methodology based on analyzing the evolution of financial indicators for business performance. …”
