“…Based on the PMC-index model system established by Ruiz Estrada, scholars adapted the indicator system according to their research objectives and the content and characteristics of different policies, achieving good evaluation results [58,59]. Based on the content characteristics of CSR policy and the conclusion of high-frequency word analysis, we constructed the PMC-index model variable evaluation system, as shown in Table 2.…”

Along with the deep comprehension and accumulated practice of corporate social responsibility (CSR), people are increasingly aware of the positive role of the government in the development of CSR. Chinese governments at all levels have issued many policies to guide and regulate CSR behavior in Chinese enterprises. However, there has been little research on the evaluation of CSR policy’s effectiveness. In this paper, we conducted a text analysis of 76 corporate social responsibility policies (CSRPs) and statistics of high-frequency words. Based on the existing policy evaluation index system, combined with the characteristics of CSRPs, we constructed a CSRPs content evaluation index system based on the policy modeling consistency index (PMC-index) model. Additionally, we conducted content analysis and quantitative evaluation of six CSRPs selected from different levels and regions of government agencies. The results show that the evaluation levels of the six policies were all good, which could play a positive role in the CSR development of their policy objectives. However, policies in different regions show obvious differences in the design of implementation suggestions and incentive and constraint measures, and there is a large space for further optimization. This study not only provides specific policy optimization suggestions for the government and enterprises based on case studies but also provides methods for evaluating the content of CSRPs, filling the research gap in this field.

“…Dai et al (36), based on a study on 16 green development policies concerning the Yangtze River Economic Belt, suggested five indicators, including policy timeliness, social benefits, audience scope, incentives, and constraints, significantly affected the quality of policy design. Liu and Liu (37) analyzed waste separation management policies issued by central government departments and provincial governments in the Yangtze River Delta from 2013 to 2021 and found that existing policies have great potential for optimization in terms of stricter constraint regulations, context-appropriate incentives, and the cultivation of market participants. In addition, many studies were using the PMC index model for fields, including new energy industry policy (38,39), plastic bag ban policy (40), and textile industry policy (41), as well as ecological compensation policy (42), which reflected that this evaluation tool has good applicability and effectiveness in facilitating the quantitative policy studies and opening the black box in policy design.…”

“…Since the design of our evaluation indicator system included nine firstlevel indicators, the theoretical values of the calculated PMC index should be in the [0, 9] interval. Referring to the practice of previous literature (37,45) and combining the research needs of this study, we classify the measured PMC index values into six levels of consistency. Specifically, the values of the PMC index belong to the [0, 4) interval, [4,6) interval, [6,7) interval, [7,8) interval, [8,9) interval, or equal to nine, indicating that TCMDPs have "poor performance, " "acceptable performance, " "good performance, " "excellent performance, " .…”

BackgroundTraditional Chinese medicine development policies (TCMDPs) are essential in improving the sustainable development of TCM undertakings, of which transmissions of policy information are closely related to the actual policy effectiveness. However, the inherent components of TCMDPs had not been explored from the structural dimension of policy design.MethodsBased on the policy modeling consistency (PMC) index model, we constructed a comprehensive evaluation system, including ten first-level and 40 second-level indicators, and focused on the TCMDPs released by the Chinese central government in the past 42 years (1980–2022) to conduct multi-dimensional inspections to TCMDPs by analyzing the overall policy quality, individual scoring performance, and indicators distribution characteristics.ResultsThis study pointed out that four policies were rated as “perfect,” 35 were rated as “superb,” 50 were rated as “excellent,” 28 were rated as “good,” and four were rated as “acceptable,” with total mean values of the PMC index being 7.530 ± 0.835. Although most TCMDPs had appropriate policy structure and consistency, the potential weaknesses in the design of TCMDPs also needed our attention through careful checks on the outlier policy samples. Besides, the existing TCMDPs had room for improvement regarding policy areas, guarantees and incentives, objects included, and issuing agencies.ConclusionsWe emphasized that the policy evaluation method used in this current study, the PMC index model, is scarce in the TCMDPs. These findings are helpful for fully understanding the strengths and weaknesses of TCMDPs and provide theoretical references for further studies optimizing TCMDPs.

“…There is a certain degree of subjectivity in the quantitative evaluation policies, while the qualitative methods are more scientific. Qualitative policy evaluation methods have been ap-plied in some fields (Dai et al 2021;Liu and Liu 2022), but lack application in the field of contract energy management. Therefore, this paper will mainly discuss the following issues: (1) Does the current energy saving subsidy policy have defects?…”

Contract energy management model is a new energy saving mode based on single market mechanism. Due to its externality, the energy efficiency market cannot realize the optimal allocation of resources. Government energy-saving subsidy can solve the market failure of energy-saving service market and improve the performance level of energy-saving services company. However, due to the unbalanced support fields and single incentive tools in the government incentive policy, the incentive effect of the government subsidy policies for contract energy management projects is not satisfactory. Based on a two-stage dynamic decision-making model, this article analyzes the impact of different forms of government subsidy policies on the performance level decision-making of Energy Service Company, and draws the following conclusions. (1) The effect of the government's variable subsidy policy with payment conditions is better than the fixed subsidy policy without payment conditions. (2) Government incentive policy for contract energy management needs to be directed against different energy saving fields. (3) The government should adopt different forms of incentive policies for energy saving service companies with different energy saving levels in the same energy saving field. (4) When the government implements the variable subsidy policy with preset energy saving target, each within a reasonable range, with the increase of which, the incentive effect on energy saving service companies with lower energy saving level decreases. When the subsidy policy has no incentive effect, it is more unfavorable for the energy saving service companies which are below the average level of the industry.
