Taiwan's Consumer Price Index in the Rural Area: 1902-1941
No full text日治時期台灣的消費者物價指數之編製，已往至少有三篇研究，都是由日本學者溝口敏行所作。編製消費者物價指數須使用消費支出比率及物價統計，溝口敏行雖然說明消費支出比率之計算，並未討論物價統計之細節。本文使用較完整的家庭收支調查與物價統計，重新編製台灣農村地區之消費者物價指數。本文之編製結果與溝口敏行之數字有顯著差異。There have been at least three attempts to compile Taiwan's Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the Japanese colonial period, all by the Japanese scholar Mizoguchi. The compilation of CPI requires consumption expenditure ratios and price statistics. In his studies, Mizoguchi explains how consumption expenditure ratios are calculated, but little details are given on price statistics. In this study, extended sources of prices and household survey data are used to calculate consumption expenditure ratios. The new CPI in the rural area is significantly different from Mizoguchi's results
On Rawls’s Idea of Public Reason
No full text本文的目的在於闡明羅爾斯的公共理性觀念，並對之提出分析與批判。對羅爾斯而言，公共理性是民主公民身份的一種理想，它要求人們只能根據所有公民都能合理接受的理由來進行基本政治問題的討論。於是，公共理性可以在當代自由社會具合理多元的既定事實下，促成政治共識的產生。在這篇文章裡，筆者首先檢視羅爾斯提出的公共理性觀念。其次，筆者將討論四種對公共理性的批評。第三，筆者將分析羅爾斯晚期對公共理性觀念的修正是否、以及如何能夠對這些批評做出回應。在結論中筆者將指出，若缺乏具良好素養的公民，則羅爾斯依然無法解決群眾理性的問題。The aim of this essay is to elucidate John Rawls’s idea of public reason and its limits. According to Rawls, public reason is an ideal of democratic citizenship, which requires that the public discussion of fundamental political questions should be conducted solely in terms of reasons all citizens can reasonably be expected to endorse. Public reason can therefore produce a political consensus given the fact of reasonable pluralism of a liberal society. In this essay, I will begin by examining the idea of public reason proposed by Rawls. Next, I will consider four objections to this idea. Third, I will critically analyze whether and how the modified view of Rawls’s latest thoughts on public reason can reply to these objections. In conclusion, I point out that, without well-educated citizens, Rawls cannot resolve the problem of plebiscitory reason

Taiwan's Per Capita GDP in Long-term Development
No full textKuznets(1966,1973)提出現代經濟成長(modern economic growth)的概念,它指的是ㄧ國之平均每人GDP成長率從接近於零提升為顯著大於零。台灣的現在經濟成長出現於日治時期,這是廣為接受的看法,但實際上並未有人具體比較1900年前後平均每人GDP成長率之變動。本文整理日治時期台灣的GDP統計,估算出日治初期台灣的平均每人GDP大約是傳統農業社會的水準。利用此項推估結果,我們進ㄧ步推算清國統治時期平均每人GDP之成長率。本文也利用人口變遷、身高統計、單位面積產量與人口/耕地面積比例之變動，檢驗以上的推論。It is widely known that Taiwan's modern economic growth began during the early Japanese colonial period, which implies that the growth rate of per capita GDP increases significantly in the early 20th century. Using the available estimates from various studies, we compile a long-term series of Taiwan's GDP, and show that the per capita GDP in the beginning of the 20th century was about the level of a traditional agricultural economy. Using an indirect method of estimation, we also show that the per capita GDP growth rate during the Ching era is close to zero. The above results based on the long-term GDP data are then shown to be consistent with the data in demographic change, body height change, rice yields, and population-land area ratios
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
A Re-valuation of the Management of Dutch Taiwan
No full text歷史學者中村孝志分析荷治時期台灣的財政盈虧,認為荷蘭人在台灣的經營大體上是成功的,特別是在末期, 年年均有相當利潤。不過, 1662年荷蘭人被鄭成功打敗撤離台灣之後,荷蘭巴達維亞總部的評估是,對公司最有利的作法不是奪回台灣,而是另尋一地作為轉口貿易據點。這與上述的結論似乎並不一致。以往的研究已經指出,荷蘭東印度公司帳簿上的盈虧並不能反映殖民地經營之成效。本文分析荷治時期台灣的轉口貿易與產業發展,重新估算1630年代中期之後台灣殖民地之利潤,並解釋為何荷蘭人無意再奪回台灣。From an analysis of Dutch Taiwan's budget Nakamura (1964) concluded that the VOC's colonial management of Taiwan was successful, especially during the later period. However, after Koxinga defeated the Dutch in 1662, the Dutch East India Company had no intention to recover Taiwan. This seemed to be inconsistent with Nakamura's conclusion. In this paper, I first argue that Taiwan's official budget data are not suitable for judging the successfulness of the colonial management. From a re-estimation of the trade and domestic production data, I then show that the colonial management was not profitable, and explain why the Dutch were not interested in re-taking Taiwan
Taiwan's Agriculture Production: 1902-1952
No full text吳聰敏(1991)估算出台灣1910-50年的國內生產毛額。在計算實質國內生產毛額時，他先由躉售物價指數估算出一套平減指數，再以之計算實質生產額。此一作法與SNA(1993)所建議者不同，因此實質國內生產毛額之估算值可能有偏誤。為修正國內生產毛額之估算，本研究重新計算1902-52年台灣農畜業之生產額；本文的估算結果與舊有的數字有不小的差異，特別是在1930-40年代。台灣在日治末期經歷經濟管制，戰後初期則發生惡性物價膨脹；有關於這兩段期間實質生產額之估算問題，本文特別加以討論。In the estimation of Taiwan's real GDP during 1910-1950, Wu (l991) used a deflator series constructed from some wholesale price indices. This methodology is inconsistent with the recommendation given in the A System of National Accounts (1993). In this paper, we follow the recommended procedure and reestimate Taiwan agricultural production during 1902-52. The new results are significantly different from the original estimates especially in the 1930s and 1940s. From the mid-1930s to mid-1940s, Taiwan was under economic regulation, in 1945-1950, it suffered a hyperinflation. This paper investigates how economic regulation and hyperinflation will affect estimation of real production value
