ICT development and total factor productivity growth
Total factor productivity (TFP) is essential for disentangling the determinants of economic growth, productivity, and the standard of living. Understanding the variations in TFP, however, is greatly challenging because of the many assumptions that comprise the theoretical growth framework. In this paper, we aim to explore the determinants of TFP growth for countries at different stages of information and communication technology (ICT) development…
The Impact of Cost-Containment Schemes on Outpatient Services for Schoolchildren with Refractive Errors in Taiwan—A Population-Based Study
The gap in health inequity can be widened when stringent cost-containment policies are implemented. The offset effect caused by delayed care may also result in higher health care expenditures later. Cost sharing for children should be separately and prudently designed to better protect them from deprivations caused by changes in health policies
Demographics, Socioeconomic Context, and the Spread of Infectious Disease
The implications of the findings are that the ability to maintain social distancing and personal hygiene habits are crucial in deterring disease transmission and lowering incidence rates, especially in the early stage of disease formation. Relevant authorities should identify preventive factors and take early actions to fight infectious diseases in the future
Risk Factors and Behaviours of Schoolchildren with Myopia in Taiwan
Importance: Because of the high prevalence of myopia in Taiwan, understanding the risk factors for its development and progression is important to public health. Background: This study investigated the risk factors for myopia and their influence on the progression of myopia in schoolchildren in Taiwan. Design: Patients' clinical records were obtained retrospectively from ophthalmologists. Questionnaires were given to collect demographic informati…
The effect of National Health Insurance on private health expenditure in Taiwan
Taiwan’s National Health Insurance (NHI) program was implemented in 1995. The provision of publicly financed insurance has been hypothesized to 'crowd-out' private healthcare expenditure. However, the nature of the third party payment structure of insurance can cause national health expenditure to increase at a faster rate than before. Increased access to health care increases people's standards for what illnesses merit medical intervention; this…
Study of Patients’ Willingness to Pay for a Cure of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Taiwan
The results of this study provide directions for the relevant authorities regarding the alleviation of suffering as a result of COPD. Appropriate health promotion measures, such as measures to reduce tobacco usage, early diagnosis, and active treatment, may be necessary to contain the escalating costs related to COPD and to prevent this epidemic from worsening
The Effectiveness of Drinking and Driving Policies for Different Alcohol-Related Fatalities
To understand the impact of drinking and driving laws on drinking and driving fatality rates, this study explored the different effects these laws have on areas with varying severity rates for drinking and driving. Unlike previous studies, this study employed quantile regression analysis. Empirical results showed that policies based on local conditions must be used to effectively reduce drinking and driving fatality rates; that is, different meas…
External benefits of preserving agricultural land
Agricultural production for many countries seems to generate a negative economic profit due to waves of industrialization in the past several decades. One of the main reasons is that the value of the land in non-agricultural uses rises considerably. However, the profitability of agricultural production may be underestimated if the positive externalities associated with farmland are not included. A proper accounting for these positive externalitie…
