The long shadow of typhoons: Prenatal exposure and adult mental health
The impact of female political leadership on gender attitudes: Evidence from Taiwan’s local councils
Divorce Effects on Teenagers’ Higher Education: Evidence From One Million Siblings in Taiwan
We construct a unique sibling dataset by linking multiple comprehensive administrative data sources in Taiwan. Using data on one million siblings, we estimate the effect of parental divorce occurring at ages 13‒18 on children's university admission. Our approach leverages differences in admission outcomes between siblings who experienced parental divorce before the national college entrance test at age 18 and those who experienced it afterward. T…
Cueing quality: Unpacking country-of-origin effects on intentions to vaccinate against Covid-19 in Taiwan
National identity under economic integration
Gender inequality, economic growth, and the intergenerational transmission of adverse health consequences at birth
The Intergenerational Transmission of Low Birth Weight and Intrauterine Growth Restriction: A Large Cross-generational Cohort Study in Taiwan
The impact of National Health Insurance on birth outcomes: A natural experiment in Taiwan
We estimate the impacts of the introduction of National Health Insurance in Taiwan in March 1995 on infant survival. Prior to NHI, government workers (the control group) possessed health insurance policies with comprehensive coverage for births and infant medical care services. Private sector industrial workers and farmers (the treatment groups) lacked this coverage. All households received coverage in 1995. Since stringent requirements for repor…
Sociocultural Differences in Self-Construal and Subjective Well-Being: A Test of Four Cultural Models
In this study, the authors tested four cultural models-independence, interdependence, conflict, and integration-that describe the hypothesized relationships between dimensions of self-construal and components of subjective well-being among individualistic and collectivistic countries. Collectivistic countries that have undergone rapid socioeconomic changes (i.e., East Asian countries) and those with limited changes (i.e., African countries) were …
Maternal age as a crucial factor between low birth weight and crime: Evidence from Taiwan's National Data - A research note
Do lower birth weight babies have lower grades? Twin fixed effect and instrumental variable method evidence from Taiwan
Exporting and Productivity Growth: Evidence From the Taiwan Electronics Plants
This paper uses propensity score matching techniques and ordinary least square regressions to examine the relationship between exporting and productivity growth in the Taiwan electronics industry. Using data from three census years, we find that plants with higher productivity growth tend to enter the export market, supporting the self‐selection mechanism. The evidence of learning‐by‐exporting is mixed, however. While the plants exporting through…
Health Information and Subjective Survival Probability: Evidence from Taiwan
The effect of new health information on individuals' expectations about their longevity is examined using a Bayesian learning model. Using two‐period panel‐structured survey data from Taiwan, we find that subjective probabilities of living to age 75 and 85 are significantly smaller for respondents with more abnormal medical test outcomes and for those receiving more extensive advice on health behavior from their physicians. The subjective probabi…
As low birth weight babies grow, can well-educated parents buffer this adverse factor? A research note
This research note combines two national Taiwanese data sets to investigate the relationships among low birth weight (LBW) babies, their parents’ educational levels, and their future academic outcomes. We find that LBW is negatively correlated with the probability of such children attending college at age 18; however, when both parents are college or high school graduates, such negative effects may be partially offset. We also show that discrimin…
The Impact of Advanced Technology Adoption on Wage Structures: Evidence from Taiwan Manufacturing Firms
We examine the impact of advanced technology adoption on wage and employment structures in Taiwan. Using a survey of manufacturing firms that provides direct information on the use of advanced technologies, we find that firms using more advanced technologies pay higher wages to both non‐production and production workers and employ higher fractions of non‐production workers. Controlling for the possible endogeneity of technology adoption suggests …
Sensitivity of willingness to pay to the magnitude of risk reduction: A TaiwanUnited States comparison
Estimates of willingness to pay (WTP) for health, environmental, and other goods obtained using contingent valuation (CV) have been criticized as inadequately sensitive to the scope or magnitude of the good. We investigate the sensitivity of WTP to variation in the magnitude of reductions in health risk using survey data collected in two countries, Taiwan and the United States, that differ dramatically with respect to economic development and cul…
Perceived risk and value of workplace safety in a developing country
We examine the relationship between wages and perceived occupational health risks for petrochemical workers in Taiwan. We estimate hedonic wage functions to compare workers' wages to their perceived risks of fatal and disabling accidents. The results indicate that workers in risky jobs receive a compensating wage differential, after controlling for education, job tenure, and occupational classification. The values of mitigating health risks are e…
