Summary/Abstract Higher education (HE) in China has been transformed from elite to mass education over the last decade due to commercialisation and funding reform. Many questions have been raised regarding the impact of HE expansion on social justice: what are the implications of the distribution of HE resources on regional inequality? How does it influence different social groups in terms of access to HE? What are the financial implications on different regions and social groups as a result of the funding reform? Based on the official data by region in 1998 and 2006, this paper aims to address these questions and describe how HE has changed over time, both spatially and inter-temporally. Our research results suggest that HE reforms have disadvantaged poor people in impoverished regions despite the availability of HE opportunities for them.

Market reactions and corporate philanthropy: a case study of the Wenchuan earthquake in China / Song, Lin; Wang, Jianling; Yao, Shujie; Chen, Jian   Journal Article
Yao, Shujie Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This paper studies the market reactions to corporate philanthropic giving in response to the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, China. Based on a sample of 136 Chinese listed companies, our results indicate a significant and positive seven-day cumulative abnormal rise in the share prices of those companies making donations compared to those not making donations. Both timeliness and the amount of philanthropic giving generate significant market reactions, confirming Godfrey's assertion that corporate philanthropy can be perceived as a genuine manifestation of firms' underlying desire to raise their market values. However, when the sample firms are divided into two groups, government controlled and non-government controlled, Godfrey's assertion is challenged by our empirical results which show different market responses to the two different types of companies.
