Ultimate Economic Conflict Between China and Democratic Countries
Estimating the Willingness to Pay for Voting when Absentee Voting is not Allowed
Objectives The existing studies based on the rational voter theory analyze voter turnout as the aggregate of individuals' binary choice of to vote or not to vote. However, when people need to travel to vote, the cost associated with different transportation modes directly affects their voting decisions. We thus generalize the rational voter theory by taking an individual's specific choice of transportation mode into account. Methods We show that …
Males’ housing wealth and their marriage market advantage
Warren Buffett versus Muhammad Yunus
Warren Buffett proposed the Giving Pledge, a campaign to encourage the wealthiest rich to commit to giving most of their wealth to philanthropic causes. These benevolent entrepreneurs first maximize their business profit, and then donate their earned wealth to the poor. Muhammad Yunus proposed an alternative social business approach: the owner of social businesses maximizes the poor's welfare under the constraint of no persistent gain or loss. Th…
Coresidence With Husband’s Parents, Labor Supply, and Duration to First Birth
This article investigates the time to first birth, treating coresidence with husband’s parents and labor supply as endogenous and using representative data on Taiwanese married women born during 1933–1968. We use a full-information maximum likelihood estimator for a duration model with endogenous binary variables. Results controlling for endogeneity suggest that both coresidence and working are associated with a delay in childbearing, reversing t…
Coresidence With Elderly Parents: A Comparative Study of Southeast China and Taiwan
Using recent survey data from the Panel Study of Family Dynamics (PSFD) on 1,655 married persons born in 1964-1976 in southeastern China and Taiwan, we studied coresidence with elderly parents using a multinomial probit model for coresidence type and an ordered probit model for residential distance. The study yielded four findings: (a) Patrilocal coresidence was more prevalent in Taiwan than in China; (b) matrilocal coresidence was more prevalent…
Understanding Chinese Families: A comparative study of Taiwan and Southeast China
This book provides two kinds of connections and one possible elaboration concerning Chinese families. On the one hand, it explores the connection between the special features of Chinese families and the existing theories mostly based on observations of Western societies, as well as the connection between two Chinese societies across the Taiwan Strait. On the other hand, it investigates whether the special features in Chinese families can broaden …
Intergenerational transmission of sex-specific differential treatments: The allocation of education resources among siblings
Effects of Sibship Structure Revisited: Evidence from Intrafamily Resource Transfer in Taiwan
Numerous studies have consistently found negative effects of sibship size on educational outcomes. Three main explanations of these effects have been offered in the literature: (1) the dilution of family resources, (2) a changing intellectual environment in the family for each succeeding sibling, and (3) unobserved selectivity at the family level. In this article, the authors propose a fourth explanation as an extension of the resource-dilution h…
Biodiversity decline and population externalities
The pattern of birth spacing during Taiwan's demographic transition
Bequest division and population growth: A lineal extinction probability approach
A Dynamic Characterization of Rawls's Maximin Principle: Theory and Implications
Ecosystem resilience, specialized adaptation and population decline: A modern Malthusian theory
Demographic Transition, Family Structure, and Income Inequality
We treat each age-specific income-earning member of the family as an income “source,” and use the source-specific Gini decomposition approach as well as the Lorenz comparison approach to study the impact of the changing population age structure on family income inequality. Empirical analysis using Taiwanese data shows that the pattern of Gini coefficients is significantly affected by the above-mentioned age composition factor. The general implica…
Age-distribution dynamics and aging indexes
I analyze the dynamics of the age distribution as some vital rates change. When the fertility or mortality rate declines, the age distribution often manifests a dynamic stochastic-dominance relationship. I also propose some alternative indexes for measuring population aging. These indexes are closely connected with the age-distribution dynamics and contain more refined information about the distribution of age among the old
Toward a general analysis of endogenous Easterlin cycles
Bequest Division and Income Inequality: Comparative Dynamics of Markov Branching Processes
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between income inequality and bequest division rules, an old but untouched topic addressed by Sir Josiah Stamp nearly seventy years ago. We show that the bequest income transition rule for each child should be linearly combined to form an inter-generational income transition rule which dominates the dynamics of the underlying stochastic processes. The various bequest division rules corr…
Famine, revolt, and the dynastic cycle: Population dynamics in historic China
Coresidence With Elderly Parents: A Comparative Study of Southeast China and Taiwan
Using recent survey data from the Panel Study of Family Dynamics (PSFD) on 1,655 married persons born in 1964-1976 in southeastern China and Taiwan, we studied coresidence with elderly parents using a multinomial probit model for coresidence type and an ordered probit model for residential distance. The study yielded four findings: (a) Patrilocal coresidence was more prevalent in Taiwan than in China; (b) matrilocal coresidence was more prevalent…
