In recent years, colleges and universities have begun investing significant resources into an innovative pedagogy known as experiential philanthropy. The is considered to be a form of service-learning. It defined learning approach that provides students with opportunities study social problems nonprofit organizations then make decisions about funds in them. Experiential philanthropy intended integrate academic community engagement by teaching not only the practice but also how evaluate...

Abstract In this article, we introduce and showcase how social media can be used to implement experiments in public administration research. To do so, pre-registered a placebo-controlled field experiment implemented it on the platform Facebook. The purpose of was examine whether government funding nonprofit organizations has an effect charitable donations. Theories interaction between donations stipulate that either decreases (crowding-out), or increases (crowding-in) private test these...

Abstract Text annotation, the practice of labeling text following a predetermined scheme, is essential to qualitative public policy research. Despite its importance, annotating large data faces challenges high labor and time costs. Recent developments in language models (LLMs), specifically with generative pretrained transformers (GPTs), show potential approach that may alleviate burden manual annotation. In this report, we first introduce small sample pretest strategy for researchers decide...

The topological physics has sparked intensive investigations into lattices in photonic, acoustic, and mechanical systems, powering counterintuitive effects otherwise inaccessible with usual settings. Following the success of these endeavors classical wave dynamics, there been a growing interest establishing their counterparts diffusion. Here, we propose an additional real-space dimension diffusion, system eigenvalues are transformed from "imaginary" to "real." By judiciously tailoring...

What difference does “nonprofitness” make is a fundamental question for nonprofit research. Although being held as the basic assumption of contract failure theory, sector perceived by individuals remains an open multiple methodological problems. Here, we present evidence from three experiments further empirical exploration with improved research design. Our findings suggest general pattern stereotype: people perceive nonprofits warmer and slightly more competent than for-profits. More...

Abstract Leveraging a three‐state survey of 323 civil servants and 36 interviews, representing blue red states, this university‐government‐nonprofit collaborative research project aims to better understand how access use evidence in their decision‐making process. Our findings show that 54% respondents find evidence‐based practices (EBPs) useful making budget, policy, contracting decisions, with 68% anticipating future benefits from use. hypothetical funding choice experiment indicates prefer...

Abstract Although public administration scholars have long been studying discriminative behavior of frontline servants service organizations, whether and to what extent Asians noncitizen immigrants may suffer from discrimination in the United States lacks evidential support. To fill this gap, we conducted a corresponding field experiment U.S. nursing home market ( N = 6428). Our findings identify substantial against immigrants. Holding other factors constant, homes with long‐term care...

Abstract Publicness theory deepens our understanding of differences and similarities organizational behavior. However, in areas which public, nonprofit, private organizations compete to serve people, it remains unclear how the level dimensional publicness influences individuals’ perceptions choices organizations. In this study, we present evidence from two online experiments examining way people's resource (operationalized as government funding, donations, service fees) elderly care centers...

Nonprofit organizations interested in collaborating with other entities find it difficult to strike a balance between keeping their autonomy and reaping the benefits from organizations. Although interorganizational collaborations come various benefits, such as reducing competition over limited resources, participating collaborative relationships can also damage of individual nonprofits. Using an original survey 275 nonprofits, we examine how dimensions affect nonprofit’s autonomy. Our...

Evidence-based policymaking (EBP) has become a global public management movement to improve constituents' lives through government decision making. However, how civil servants' decisions are influenced by such evidence remains unanswered. In this study, we answer two related research questions: 1) How do different elements of impact program preferences? 2) does the rating influence their Collaborating with major governmental and nonprofit agencies that promote use EBPs, invited servants from...

Public efforts to limit the spread of coronavirus rely on motivating people cooperate with government. We test effectiveness different governmental messengers encourage preventive health actions. administered a survey experiment among sample (n = 1,545) respondents across United States, presenting them same social media message, but experimentally varying government sender (i.e., Federal, State, County, combination Federal + and control condition) whether local relevance influences messaging...

Abstract Evidence‐based practice (EBP) has become a global public management movement to improve constituents' lives through government decision making. However, how civil servants' decisions are influenced by scientific evidence remains unanswered. In this study, we answer two related research questions: (1) How do different elements of impact program preferences? (2) does the rating influence their Collaborating with major governmental and nonprofit agencies that promote use EBPs, invited...

Naming a contagious disease, such as COVID-19, by the geographic locality where disease originates or starts, for example, Wuhan China, may stigmatize specific ethnic groups related to that locality, and stigmatizing behavior will further lead legitimized discrimination, prejudice, group conflicts. However, construction of social stigma relates closely identities, creating xenophobia through out-group members increase in-group solidarity, which can be taken political strategy government...

The rise of behavioral public administration provides new perspectives – especially from a psychological point view to understand theories and the growing interest in using experiments enhance internal validity empirical studies. However, psychology other social sciences are undergoing replication crisis where experimental results often do not replicate. One reason for limited replicability is publication bias sparked by journals’ preference significant effects resulting incentive create...

Abstract Although the adoption of business‐like practices, such as commercialization and managerialization, may enhance capacity sustainability nonprofit organizations, these practices elicit negative reactions from general public. This tension poses a challenge for organizations they seek to strike balance between implementing that promote growth survival maintaining public support. study focuses on people's moral judgment nonprofits' offers social psychological explanation why some be...

Experimental evidence suggests that citizens' judgments of service quality often rely on prior beliefs about providers' characteristics, such as racial stereotypes. Such a biased judgment process prevents the public from understanding performance information accurately and choosing high-quality providers. To address this, we studied relation between evaluation mode proposed presenting jointly (joint evaluation) rather than separately (separate may help people avoid stereotyping consider...

In this paper, we propose a new and practical reliability-based hybrid automatic repeat request (RB-HARQ) scheme for irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Irregular LDPC codes have an unequal error protection (UEP) property. Using property, find that the middle degree message nodes of are important HARQ systems. If pick out low reliable them retransmission, will reduce feedback. Moreover, system performance is as well original RB-HARQ scheme.

In this paper, a progressive hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) scheme on degree distribution for irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is proposed. scheme, lower nodes are retransmitted. During the process of choosing retransmission, not only but also unequal error protection (UEP) property and iterative decoding LDPC considered. Compared with initial Degree Distribution Based HARQ (DDB-HARQ), proposed has better performance.

Associating a life-threatening crisis with geographic locality can stigmatize people from that area. However, such strategy may reduce the public blame attributed to government because perceived foreign threat establishes scapegoat, which transfers blame. In context of COVID-19 pandemic, we investigated whether “Chinese Virus” label placed on has elicited opposition Chinese immigrants and reduced federal government. We used survey experiment during list measure threat. The descriptive...
