Determinants of municipal‐level household food waste

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 04:05:13 GMT

title: Determinants of municipal‐level household food waste abstract: This research investigates the long-run determinants of per capita food waste, using a monthly time series dataset collected from the Taipei City Food Scraps Recycling Program, covering a span of 19 years. In addition, this research introduces a new proxy for the food wastage rate, gauged by the ratio of edible-to-inedible food scraps. The results of time-series cointegration analysis show that per capita edible food scraps and socioeconomic factors are bound together over the long run. Specifically, per capita edible food waste displays a positive co-movement with food price, the working-age share, and household size, while exhibiting a negative co-movement with the old-age share. This insight empowers policymakers with the ability to foresee and tackle the food waste problem by acting on the municipality's demographic and economic structural change. Our analysis complements the existing studies that depend on cross-sectional individual-level data by adopting a long-run municipal-level time series perspective.

Women in Politics, Green Policies, and Carbon Emissions

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 04:05:16 GMT

title: Women in Politics, Green Policies, and Carbon Emissions abstract: Can increasing gender inclusion in politics help combat climate change? Using a panel dataset covering 46 democratic economies from 2007 to 2022, this study demonstrates that higher female political participation is consistently associated with lower per capita CO2 emissions. Our findings indicate that a one-percentage-point increase in women’s parliamentary representation reduces emissions by approximately 0.6% in initial estimates and by more than 3% after accounting for endogeneity. Further mediation analysis shows that this impact is not driven by stricter environmental regulations. Instead, women’s political involvement lowers emissions by advancing green policies, such as expanding renewable energy and green finance. These effects are more pronounced in countries with higher governance quality, where policies are more likely to translate into measurable outcomes. Overall, the results suggest that empowering women politically is not only a matter of equity but also an effective strategy to address climate change.

The Impact of Psychiatric Disorders on Employment Across Sectors in Taiwan

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 04:06:01 GMT

title: The Impact of Psychiatric Disorders on Employment Across Sectors in Taiwan abstract: Taiwan's 1997 Disabled Citizens Protection Act required organizations to meet minimum employment rates for people with physical or psychiatric disabilities, with lower quotas for the private sector. This study investigates whether the impact of psychiatric disorders, including affective and anxiety disorders, on employment differed across sectors in 2005. Data are drawn from Taiwan's 2005 National Health Interview Survey. The analysis primarily adopts a multinomial probit approach to estimate impacts across sectors among adults aged 18 to 64 by gender. To consider potential endogeneity, it pursues an augmented regression approach. The instrumental variable is the community prevalence of psychiatric disorders. Both exogenous and endogenous results consistently indicate serious consequences in the private sector, especially in its subsector of employed, rather than the public sector, for both males and females. Improving employment for individuals with psychiatric disorders in the private sector, especially for private sector employees, remains a challenge.

Inter-brand competition and intra-brand cannibalization in the automotive industry: Its impact and the moderating role

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 04:05:58 GMT

title: Inter-brand competition and intra-brand cannibalization in the automotive industry: Its impact and the moderating role abstract: This paper aims to empirically study how inter-brand competition and intra-brand cannibalization affect prices and market share in the auto industry, as well as the moderating effect of intra-brand cannibalization. Using a detailed data set from the Taiwanese automotive industry from 2015 to 2023, the findings show that inter-brand competition negatively impacts auto prices and market share, while intra-brand cannibalization positively impacts them. Furthermore, increasing the number of car models for each brand leads to higher auto prices and market share. Additionally, we examine the moderation effect of intra-brand cannibalization. Our findings reveal that the moderating effect of intra-brand cannibalization increases (decreases) the relationship between inter-brand competition (product mix) and auto prices and market share. This research contributes to the existing literature on brand competition and product proliferation management by examining the price and market share effects of inter-brand competition and intra-brand cannibalization and its moderating role.

A Study on Automobile Theft Insurance in Taiwan:The Issue of Opportunistic Fraud.

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 04:09:40 GMT

title: A Study on Automobile Theft Insurance in Taiwan:The Issue of Opportunistic Fraud. abstract: With the continuous economic development, the standard of living has been rising, and automobiles have become an indispensable part of daily life. However, frequent vehicle thefts have resulted in significant financial losses for car owners. To mitigate these risks, many opt for auto theft insurance. Yet, as the insurance uptake increases, opportunistic fraud cases are also on the rise, posing serious challenges to the insurance industry. This study aims to delve into the phenomenon of opportunistic fraud within Taiwan's auto theft insurance sector. Initially, it analyzes the background and significance of fraud in auto theft insurance, outlining the characteristics and trends of related fraudulent activities in Taiwan. Subsequently, by collecting and examining claims data from Taiwanese property insurance companies, the study identifies common types of fraud and associated risk factors. Building upon this, expert interviews will be conducted to further analyze auto theft incidents. Finally, the study proposes a series of targeted antifraud measures, including strengthening legal frameworks, raising public awareness, enhancing internal management within insurance companies, and establishing inter-industry anti-fraud information-sharing platforms.

Corporate Governance Rating and Firm Performance: Evidence from Taiwan

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 04:06:13 GMT

title: Corporate Governance Rating and Firm Performance: Evidence from Taiwan abstract: After the Asian financial crises, scholars started to focus on the importance of corporate governance which is the processes, practices and policies that a company relies on to make formal decisions and to manage the company. Corporate governance ratings act as a corporate governance tool by providing information to investors. Investors therefore expect that the ratings information will be incorporated in firm returns or value. This study examines the relationship between corporate governance rating and firm performance in Taiwan during the years 2014-2018. We use the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) corporate governance rating of a firm's corporate governance structure and analyze this rating in relation to the firm's operating performance. Accounting, based performance measures of firmsreturn on asset (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and earnings per share (EPS), were used to compare with TWSE corporate governance evaluation based on five sub-indices that are "Protecting Shareholder Rights and Interests", "Treating Shareholders Equitably", "Enhancing Board Composition and Operation", "Increasing Information Transparency", and "Putting Corporate Social Responsibility into Practice". The results show that corporate governance does matter in Taiwan. The study shows that better governed firms measured by high corporate governance rating have better performance in Taiwan.

父母期望壓力對人力資本的影響

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 04:06:00 GMT

title: 父母期望壓力對人力資本的影響 abstract: 本文使用「台灣青少年計畫」，分析父母期望壓力對人力資本的影響。人力資本包括學業表現、非認知能力和心理健康，實證方法採用迴歸分析和雙重穩健估計法（double-robust estimators）。發現父母期望壓力與在校學業成績沒有顯著的關係，但父母期望壓力分別與養成良好的人格特質和心理健康呈負向關係。本文接續探討父母期望壓力是如何影響子女的人力資本。根據兒童發展經濟學文獻，親子互動和家庭環境氣氛是影響人力資本的重要管道。結果顯示，親子互動和家庭凝聚力均與人力資本呈正向關係，但父母期望壓力均與親子互動和家庭凝聚力呈負向關係。教育政策應著重降低父母期望壓力，這不僅能緩和升學壓力，也能提升親子互動品質和家庭凝聚力，從而有利於子女人力資本的累積。

title: 氣候與環境因子對屋頂型太陽光電發電量之影響 abstract: 本文依據10間屋頂型太陽光電廠3年期間的發電日資料，搭配相對應的氣候與環境日資料，進行混合資料迴歸分析與視覺化圖表分析，探討氣候與環境因子對屋頂型太陽光電廠發電量的影響。其中，視覺化圖表分析除協助迴歸分析之變數篩選與測試外，更清晰及有效呈現迴歸分析成果，且進一步探討重要影響因子之動態性變化。本文迴歸分析高達8成的解釋力，應有助相關單位較準確預測太陽光電的日發電量。另外，除印證全天空日射量之重要解釋力外，亦發現北部地區建置太陽光電廠，應可減輕臺灣南部沿岸夏季常下雨而造成太陽光電發電不足現象。最後，南部地區建置太陽光電廠時，宜多注意，外在環境過熱與空污問題。上述研究發現與政策意涵，應有助我國太陽光電的發展，邁向2050淨零排放的目標。

A Circular Economy Model of Sustainable Growth.

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 04:05:16 GMT

title: A Circular Economy Model of Sustainable Growth. abstract: A circular economy is in essence a closed system in which all goods produced have become inputs to sustain the system in the long run. By taking some of the key principles of a circular economy such as reducing waste and pollution, increasing recycling, and improving the natural environment into consideration, this paper provides a general equilibrium analysis of a circular economy model (CEM) in which the recycling of output waste is endogenously determined. When a unique steady-state balanced-growth path exists in a circular economy, consumption, the waste stock, and the pollution stock all grow at the same rate. Theoretically, this paper also shows that the government can implement a negative income tax and a positive pollution tax to optimally allocate all resources in a market economy and sustain long-term economic growth.

Welfare improving licensing with endogenous choice of prices versus quantities

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 04:05:14 GMT

title: Welfare improving licensing with endogenous choice of prices versus quantities abstract: This paper investigates the endogenous choice of prices versus quantities by taking into account patent licensing where the patent holder, which is itself a producer within the industry, licenses its cost-reducing innovation to the rival firm through a two-part tariff contract. For substitute products we find that both Cournot and mixed price-quantity competition may constitute the equilibrium outcomes, depending on the innovation size. Contrary to the results in Fauli-Oller and Sandonis (2002), we show that the optimal licensing contract definitely leads to an increase in social welfare. Our result reinforces the positive welfare effect of patent licensing.

Welfare Analysis in a Vertically-Related Market with Endogenous Price or Quantity Choice

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 04:05:29 GMT

title: Welfare Analysis in a Vertically-Related Market with Endogenous Price or Quantity Choice abstract: This research investigates the endogenous choice of prices versus quantities in a vertically-related market where an integrated firm competes with a downstream firm and they bargain over a two-part tariff input pricing contract. Contrary to the standard result, we show that both Bertrand competition and Cournot competition can be sustained as equilibrium outcomes. First, the Bertrand equilibrium maximizes industry profit, but there is a market failure in the choice of the type of strategic variables. Second, the Cournot equilibrium maximizes social welfare and consumer surplus, but there is a prisoners' dilemma. This paper ends with an extension, showing that our baseline model arises naturally as the equilibrium outcome of a simple game that admits vertical mergers.

垂直相關市場下內生化的市場結構與中間財定價策略

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 04:05:26 GMT

title: 垂直相關市場下內生化的市場結構與中間財定價策略 abstract: 本文假設一家上游廠商與兩家生產異質產品的下游廠商之垂直相關市場結構，研究內生化市場結構與中間財定價策略。研究結果發現，在給定垂直整合相關市場下，當產品替代性較小時，垂直整合廠商選擇中間財的固定費用定價策略；當產品替代性較大時，則選擇中間財的單位定價策略。在給定垂直分離相關市場下，當產品替代性較小時，上游廠商選擇固定費用定價策略，將中間財販售給兩家下游廠商；當產品替代性較大時，則選擇固定費用定價策略，將中間財販售給單獨一家下游廠商。在考慮內生化市場結構下，研究結果發現，當產品替代性較小時，上游廠商選擇與任一家下游廠商合併或是選擇不合併；當產品替代性適中時，上游廠商不會選擇合併，並採用固定費用定價策略，將中間財販售給兩家下游廠商；當產品替代性較大時，上游廠商選擇與任一家下游廠商合併，並選擇中間財的單位定價策略。

Centralized or decentralized bargaining in a vertically-related market with endogenous price/quantity choices

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 04:05:23 GMT

title: Centralized or decentralized bargaining in a vertically-related market with endogenous price/quantity choices abstract: This research investigates the endogenous choice of centralized or decentralized bargaining and the type of strategic variables by taking into account a vertically-related market where an upstream monopolist bargains with two downstream firms via a two-part input pricing contract. We show that centralized bargaining is the unique equilibrium mode of bargaining, given Cournot or Bertrand competition in the product market, and that choosing the quantity (price) contract is the dominant strategy for both downstream firms under decentralized (centralized) bargaining. When both the type of strategic variables and the mode of bargaining are endogenously determined, the unique equilibrium outcome is choosing price contracts and centralized bargaining, which maximize industry profit, but there is market failure.

A technology licensing model with endogenous timing

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 04:05:15 GMT

title: A technology licensing model with endogenous timing abstract: Based on a licensing model where a licensor (an innovator) is itself a producer in the product market, this research investigates the endogenous timing of setting a quantity (price) under unit-royalty licensing, fixed-fee licensing, and two-part tariff licensing contracts. We demonstrate that the results of equilibrium timing depend on the various payment terms of a licensing contract as well as the innovation size. For the fixed-fee licensing contract, both firms play a simultaneous game under Cournot competition and play a sequential game under Bertrand competition. In contrast, both firms play a sequential game under Cournot competition and play a simultaneous game under Bertrand competition when the innovator licenses via a unit-royalty licensing contract and the innovation size is relatively large.

內外兼顧抑或厚此薄彼？從動機歸因角度探討知覺內、外部企業社會責任對員工組織認同的效應

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 04:05:54 GMT

title: 內外兼顧抑或厚此薄彼？從動機歸因角度探討知覺內、外部企業社會責任對員工組織認同的效應 abstract: 本研究結合歸因理論和社會認同理論，建立一個平行中介式調節模型，驗證員工知覺外部企業社會責任（簡稱ECSR）與內部企業社會責任（簡稱ICSR）的交互作用，是否會透過員工對CSR動機的歸因（包含實質性動機歸因與象徵性動機歸因），促使其組織認同改變。雖然近期學者已經投入ECSR與ICSR兩者不對等之研究議題，以及探討知覺不同類別CSR一致性是否可能引發員工對組織實施CSR進行實質性或象徵性動機歸因；然而，根據歸因基礎模型，人們針對特定事件可能會同時發展多元歸因認知因此本研究認為，探討員工知覺組織ECSR與ICSR兩者投入程度的交互作用會如何影響員工的實質性動機歸因以及象徵性動機歸因，而此兩種不同的動機歸因又會對員工產生何種不同效應，實有相當必要，惟目前相關研究仍不多見。本研究採取兩階段問卷調查以降低共同方法變異（Common Method Variance; CMV），有效樣本為209位全職員工，使用Mplus 8.3進行模型檢驗。研究證實ECSR和ICSR的交互作用，與CSR的實質性動機歸因存在正向關係，但與CSR之象徵性動機歸因存在負向關係。其次，CSR實質性動機歸因與員工之組織認同存在正向關係，但象徵性動機歸因則與組織認同存在負向關係。最後，ECSR和ICSR的交互作用會透過實質性和象徵性動機歸因的雙中介路徑，間接地對組織認同產生效應。文末提出理論與管理意涵以及未來研究建議。

Female Political Participation and Environment: Mechanisms and Impact Factors

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 04:05:48 GMT

title: Female Political Participation and Environment: Mechanisms and Impact Factors abstract: Using data from 46 economies over the 2007-2022 period, this study investigates the impacts of female political participation on environmental performance measured by CO2 emissions. Our main results show that female political participation helps to reduce CO2 emissions, and these results remain robust to various specifications. We further explore two mechanisms by which female legislators can influence environmental quality. The first mechanism is through environmental regulations. It is found that, in the long term, female political participation improves environmental quality by increasing the prevalence and stringency of environmental regulations. The second mechanism is through environmentally friendly policies, and we find that, in the long run, women’s political participation can improve environmental performance by facilitating renewable energy consumption and promoting the development of green finance. Lastly, we also show that the levels of economic development, governance quality, and social progress can enhance the beneficial effects of female political participation on CO2 reduction.

Breaking the Sisyphus curse: consumers' intentions and factors associated with package-free shopping

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 04:07:12 GMT

title: Breaking the Sisyphus curse: consumers' intentions and factors associated with package-free shopping abstract: Pressing problems regarding the environment, resource depletion, and waste treatment result from single-use (SU) packaging, thereby trapping us in a Sisyphean cycle. Package-free shopping (PFS) is one of the most fundamental solutions to dispel the curse since it directly prohibits SU packaging. This article sheds light on the factors associated with consumers’ PFS behavioral intentions. Four focus-group interviews of participants with PFS experience were first conducted. Insights stemming from their viewpoints informed the development of an extended Motivation–Opportunity–Ability (MOA) model, which was subsequently estimated using survey data from a broader consumer sample. The extended MOA model further divides motivation into three distinct components, namely avoidance, approach, and morality, and explores whether consumers’ past experiences and preparation enhance their ability to engage in PFS. The findings reveal that consumers’ ability to practice PFS represents the primary driver for consumers’ PFS intentions. Both preparation and past experiences bolster this ability. Opportunities like using circular bags/containers and offering economic incentives, commonly promoted by governments and enterprises, are found attractive. However, opportunities such as the availability of cleansing facilities and clear information emerge as even more important drivers for both experienced and general consumers. Interestingly, morality has a negative direct effect on the PFS intention while its indirect effect, when mediated by the motivation of approach, turns out to be positive.

Does the future imagination treatment affect people's pro-environmental intention and donation decisions?

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 04:07:07 GMT

title: Does the future imagination treatment affect people's pro-environmental intention and donation decisions? abstract: This study investigates the impact of a future imagination treatment on individuals’ pro-environmental intentions and donation behaviors, utilizing the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as a framework. A total of 442 students from National Chengchi University participated in the research, which involved an experimental group that envisioned living conditions in the year 2100 and a control group. Employing seemingly unrelated regressions and a three-stage least squares model, we analyzed the donation decisions in the context of a dictator game (Camerer in Behavioral Game Theory: Experiments in Strategic Interaction, Princeton University Press, 2011). The results revealed that the imaginary-trip-to-the-future treatment did not significantly impact pro-environmental donations. However, individuals’ intentions to mitigate climate change were positively correlated with their decisions to contribute to climate change initiatives. Additionally, key factors such as attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and futurability were found to significantly influence these intentions, highlighting the intergenerational sustainability dilemma. These findings enhance our understanding of the complexities surrounding pro-environmental behavior and suggest potential avenues for future research aimed at promoting environmental sustainability.

Elucidating the Factors Influencing Consumers' Intentions to Reduce Single-Use Tableware in a Public Health Crisis

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 04:07:03 GMT

title: Elucidating the Factors Influencing Consumers' Intentions to Reduce Single-Use Tableware in a Public Health Crisis abstract: Although combating single-use products like tableware seem deterred by hygienic concerns associated with a public health crisis as COVID-19, what exactly consumers perceive about their application before and after the pandemic remains unexamined. This study explores and compares consumers' intentions to reduce their usage of single-use tableware (SUT), the predictors as well as the effect differences of predictors on intentions before and after the outbreak of COVID-19. An extended theory of planned behavior (TPB), greenwashing and past behavior included, serves as the analytical model, while the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach is employed in the model's estimation. The results show that either before or after the outbreak of the pandemic, perceived behavioral control represents the primary driver of consumers' intentions to reduce SUT, followed by subjective norms and attitudes. However, consumers' intentions depend more on their own attitudes than others' opinions after the outbreak. The effect of greenwashing is not found, while past behavior becomes influential on consumers' reduction intentions in the public health crisis. In addition, contrary to the instincts, consumers' intentions to reduce SUT show no statistical difference before and after the outbreak of COVID-19. These findings imply that the common measures of (re-)introducing SUT during the pandemic should not be the only solution given the concerns of public hygiene when consumers are still willing to make efforts to combat single-use materials. The promotion of the consumers' perceived behavioral control, subjective norms or attitudes during this period of time can mitigate the possible wastage of resources and environment-related disasters brought about by the public health crisis.

臺灣R&D活動與經濟成長：金融發展的角色

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 04:06:07 GMT

title: 臺灣R&D活動與經濟成長：金融發展的角色 abstract: 國外的文獻發現一國金融發展對於該國的研究發展（R&D）、技術進步以及經濟成長扮演重要角色。不過研究台灣的文獻，大多直接分析金融發展對經濟成長的影響，忽略了金融部門與廠商R&D活動的互動關係，因而無法串起金融發展對台灣廠商R&D活動與經濟成長中所扮演的角色。為彌補文獻上的不足，本文以1987年第1季至2024年第1季台灣的專利權申請數作為R&D活動的代理變數，運用門檻迴歸模型，檢視R&D活動對經濟成長的影響效果是否因不同的金融發展程度而發生結構性改變。實證結果顯示，R&D活動與經濟成長之間確實存在金融發展的門檻效果，當金融市場發展至高度階段時，R&D活動能顯著促進經濟成長；相反地，當金融發展處於較低階段時，R&D活動與經濟成長的關係可能會消失或呈現負向影響。這些結論在不同的金融發展指標與R&D代理變數下仍具穩健性。

Optimal Trade Policies on a Monopoly Platform in Two-Sided Markets

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 04:05:10 GMT

title: Optimal Trade Policies on a Monopoly Platform in Two-Sided Markets abstract: This study examines the determination of import policies imposed on a monopoly platform product in a two-sided market. The platform facilitates interaction between consumers and service providers with the entry of service providers influencing product demand and, consequently, encouraging more entries. The study finds that optimal import policies are influenced by network externalities and an increase in the number of importing countries. Specifically, the optimal import policies are import tariffs with a small degree of externalities. The optimal tariffs increase when externalities are small but decrease when they are large. In case of large externalities, countries’ optimal import policies become import subsidies. Additionally, when importing countries noncooperatively establish their import policies, an increased number of importing countries increases the optimal tariffs with a small degree of network externalities. However, when importing countries cooperatively determine their import policies, an increase in the number of importing countries consistently decreases the optimal tariffs or increases the optimal import subsidies. Furthermore, an increased degree of the network externalities always decreases optimal import tariffs or increases optimal import subsidies. These results underscore the significance of policy cooperation among importing countries in advancing trade liberalization for platform products.
