英文文献作者：Keeling Bond, Jennifer J.
英文文献摘要：
Previous cooperative governance literature has relied primarily on qualitative data to recommend change. Using data provided by the USDA-Rural Business and Cooperative Services Agency (RBS) and collected from cooperative top managers we find statistical evidence that various board of director characteristics do affect a range of cooperative financial measures.

以前的合作治理文献主要依靠定性数据来推荐变更。使用美国农业部-农村商业与合作服务局(RBS)提供的数据，并从合作企业的高层管理者那里收集数据，我们发现有统计证据表明，董事会的各种特征确实影响一系列合作金融措施。
