AbstractThis paper estimates the impact of participation in governance on member satisfaction with cooperatives using survey data from 960 land cooperative members in the Yangtze River Delta. The instrumental variable approach is used to address potential endogeneity. We find that participation in governance increases member satisfaction with cooperatives by approximately 26.2%. In particular, the impact of participation in governance is much higher for elite members with political connections than for ordinary members. The recognition of member rights and duties increases the likelihood of member participation in governance. To achieve the long‐term development of cooperative organizations, policy‐makers should encourage cooperative members to actively participate in governance, for example, by increasing cooperative members' understanding of their rights and responsibilities.

This article analyses the factors that affect neighbourhood preferences for income and hukou segregation by using an ordered probit model on a sample of 482 residents in Shanghai. It finds that the overall preference for residential segregation among respondents is not very strong. However, for high-income groups with Shanghai hukou, their income level and household size increase their tendency to be reluctant to have neighbours with different income levels or hukou status. The effects of various influencing factors differ among other groups with different hukou and income levels. Neighbourhood relationship and xiaoqu quality are two important factors that affect all types of neighbourhood preferences for residential segregation. The results of this study show that developing mixed residential areas, improving inclusiveness over residential segregation, narrowing the income gap and reducing education inequality may reduce the probability of neighbourhoods accepting residential segregation.
