  • Sustainability and inequality of Taiwan's National Pension Insurance

    Open AccessChih‐Kai Chang, Hung-Lin Tao et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2023Citada por: 2Referencias: 1

    Taiwan's National Pension Insurance (NPI) is a compulsory defined benefit pension insurance scheme. However, paying the NPI premium is not mandatory. We use the NPI administrative data of more than 489 million observations to investigate the NPI's sustainability and inequalities for various groups. We find that NPI participants pay their premiums either consistently or not at all. Although the overall willingness to pay the premiums has been decl…

  • Revisiting the Lewisian turning point in Taiwan

    Chia‐Yu Hung, Hung-Lin TaoARTICLEJournal of the Asia Pacific Economy2019Referencias: 3

    The Lewisian concept of dualism was empirically relevant to Taiwan given its heavy population pressure on scarce land. Most of the literature, albeit based on little solid evidence, concluded that Taiwan reached the Lewisian turning point around the end of the 1960s. Others argued that the LTP was after 1979. This paper first follows three criteria proposed by Minami (1973 Minami, R. 1973. The Turning Point in Economic Development: Japan’s Experi…

  • Gender Equality and the Gender Gap in Mathematics

    Open AccessHung-Lin Tao, Christos MichalopoulosARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2018

    A gender gap has been found in mathematics (boys outperform girls) that has prevailed across countries for many decades. Whether this gap results from nature or nurture has been hotly debated. Using the evidence of PISA 2003 and the gender equality index of 2003, some researchers have argued that an improvement in gender equality reduces the gender gap in mathematics. This study used five waves of country-level PISA data and, controlling for coun…

  • Height, Partners and Offspring

    Open AccessHung-Lin Tao, Ching-Chen YinARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2016

    Using Taiwanese data, this study finds that tall males are more successful in mate selection and reproduction, but the results are weakly significant. Height is not helpful for females’ reproductive success. Specifically, tall males are more likely to have a partner at present or in the past, have at least one child, have more children, have a shorter period of celibacy and have a longer time duration of living with a partner in their lifetime. U…

  • Why do women interact with their parents more often than men? The demonstration effect vs. the biological effect

    Open AccessHung-Lin TaoARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2014Citada por: 1Referencias: 5

    Neuroscientists have shown that females are biologically more caring than males. In this paper, two empirical strategies are applied to examine the validity of using gender difference as the evidence for the argument. The first approach is to compare visits to parents between single females and single males. The second approach is to investigate whether females evaluate children as old-age security to render them more important in their lives. Th…

  • Reply to comment on “Why do women interact with their parents more often than men? The demonstration effect vs. the biological effect”

    Open AccessHung-Lin TaoARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2014Referencias: 1

    In this research note, I argue that none of the claimed empirical evidence of the demonstration effect is causal. The demonstration effect is one of many unobserved motives behind intergenerational interactions. It is extremely difficult to single out the demonstration motive from these unobserved motives. In the real world, it remains a challenge to prove the demonstration effect.Keywords: The demonstration effectIntergenerational transfersChild…
