农民专业合作社的规范与发展——“鱼与熊掌”能否兼得?

农民专业合作社的规范与发展能否兼得?何以兼得?这对审视当下中国合作社发展路径具有重大意义。本研究基于安徽省423家国家级示范社监测数据,探讨了规范治理对经营绩效的影响,分析了何种权利安排能够实现合作社兼顾规范与发展。研究发现:第一,规范治理对合作社经营绩效具有显著正向影响,且对组织绩效的增进效应强于对社员绩效的增进效应。第二,盈余分配和民主决策规范对合作社经营绩效的影响具有异质性,相对于民主决策规范,盈余分配规范是提高合作社经营绩效的主要路径。第三,调整合作社权利安排、实现剩余控制权与索取权有效匹配,是实现合作社规范与发展兼得的关键路径,而调整决策方式、设置优先股等是实现“两权”有效匹配的可行路径。本文对重塑合作社治理机制,探寻中国合作社发展路径具有启示和借鉴意义。

农民专业合作社:绩效测度与影响因素——兼析我国农民专业合作社的发展路径

基于安徽省299家农民专业合作社的观察样本,在绩效定义的基础上,利用因子分析法与SUR模型测度了合作社绩效并分析了其影响因素。研究表明,监督与制衡机制一定程度上能提升农民专业合作社普通社员收入绩效,合作社理事长在促进交易绩效方面具有重要作用,但在增强社会绩效方面的作用有待提升,股权集中化程度高、理事会规模小的合作社反而各类绩效水平较高。以股权集中化、成员异质化等为特征的合作社发展路径在"绩效"实现层面具有合理性,股权集中度高、社员异质性强并不一定意味着利益侵占。
