The goal of the present study was to clarify factors that associated with the quality of life for patients with asthma. Quantile regression method was used to estimate the effects of a set of covariates on the quantiles of quality of life distribution. The research subjects were 216 children with asthma who attended the Asthma Pay-by-Quality Program initiated by the Bureau of National Health Insurance in Taiwan. Study results indicate that ordinary least square method is not sufficient to explain the effects of associated factors on quality of life for children with asthma across all distributions. Also, the results of quantile regression indicate that daytime symptoms, night time symptom, and attitude towards asthma have significant impacts for children with asthma, though not appeal to affect cross all quantiles of the sample distribution.
本研究的目的是澄清与哮喘患者生活质量相关的因素。采用分位数回归方法估计一组协变量对生活质量分布分位数的影响。研究对象为216名参加台湾健康保险局气喘按质付费计划的气喘患儿。研究结果表明,普通最小二乘法不足以解释所有分布中相关因素对哮喘儿童生活质量的影响。此外,分位数回归结果显示,日间症状、夜间症状和对待哮喘的态度对哮喘儿童有显著影响,但没有在样本分布的所有分位数上产生影响。

This paper utilizes a differential game model of incentive contracts in which both the principal and the agent have long-term supplier relations, which lead the agent to make relation-specific investment in cost-reducing effort activities. We then demonstrate the importance of the agent's human capital accumulation in determining the agent's cost-reducing effort level and moral hazard and the principal's optimal incentive contracts. The results show that (1) the degree of the agent's moral hazard is determined not only by cost flexibility but also by the rate of discount, the rate of depreciation of human capital, and the period commitment; (2) the principal's cost-sharing ratio will be higher if the agent's moral hazard is serious; and (3) the trade-off relationship between cost-sharing and moral hazard does not necessarily hold in the dynamic framework.
本文采用了委托人和代理人都具有长期供应商关系的激励契约差分博弈模型,该模型导致代理人在降低成本的努力活动中进行关系特定的投资。然后,我们证明了代理人的人力资本积累在决定代理人降低成本的努力水平和道德风险以及委托人的最优激励契约方面的重要性。结果表明:(1)代理人的道德风险程度不仅受成本灵活性的影响,还受折现率、人力资本折旧率和期限承诺的影响;(2)代理人的道德风险越严重,委托人的成本分担率越高;(3)成本分担与道德风险之间的权衡关系在动态框架下不一定成立。

Cooperative alliance has been a popular governance form other than pure markets and hierarchies in the contemporary international business world. With or without equity sharing, firms form cooperative alliances with domestic or international partners, aiming to gain synergies to create better performance than by using arm's-length transactions or their own internal competitive advantages. This paper proposes an integrative model from the perspectives of transaction cost and social capital theories as a means to find the direct and indirect determinants of cooperative alliance performance. National culture is specified as an indirect factor of influence in the following alliance performance determinants: exchange attributes, governance structures, and coordination mechanisms. Propositions and managerial implications are provided as a major contribution of this paper.
在当代国际商业世界中,合作联盟已经成为一种超越纯粹市场和等级制度的流行治理形式。无论是否有股权共享,企业都会与国内或国际合作伙伴形成合作联盟,目的是获得协同效应,以创造比利用公平交易或自身内部竞争优势更好的绩效。本文从交易成本和社会资本理论的角度,提出了一个整合模型,以寻找合作联盟绩效的直接和间接决定因素。在联盟绩效决定因素(交换属性、治理结构和协调机制)中,国家文化是一个间接影响因素。建议和管理启示是本文的主要贡献。

The Impact of Knowledge Transfer in Virtual Teams 虚拟团队中知识转移的影响
Pub Date : 2005-07-01 DOI: 10.30166/PPMR.200507.0003
Huei-Chen Hsu
The main points of this paper are probing for the combination of information technology and virtual work and how to change the distribution of different types of knowledge across individuals, teams, and even the organization. The discussion in the paper will assess the dynamics between the individual, the organization, and information technology in the context of teams that vary in their virtualness. Information technology can make convenient spread of knowledge across the organization-even the point of making virtual teams a viable alternative to face-to-face work. However, unless managed, information technology may destabilize the relationship between organizations and their employees when it comes to the transform of knowledge. Therefore, the paper advances theory and informs practice by illustrating the dynamics of knowledge development and transfer in more and less virtual teams.
本文的主要观点是探讨信息技术与虚拟工作的结合,以及如何改变不同类型的知识在个人、团队甚至组织中的分布。本文中的讨论将评估个人、组织和信息技术在虚拟环境中变化的团队环境中的动态关系。信息技术可以方便地在组织中传播知识,甚至可以使虚拟团队成为面对面工作的可行替代方案。然而,除非管理,信息技术可能会破坏组织和员工之间的关系,当涉及到知识的转换。因此,本文通过阐述虚拟团队中知识发展和转移的动态来推进理论和指导实践。

Taiwan has successfully developed an IC industry through the efforts of the government and industry itself over the past thirty years. One of key factors that decades of rapid and continuous economic growth and prosperity was driven prominently by the development of an IC industry to let Taiwanese being proud of it. The purpose of this research is to explore the development track of IC industry to know how it worked. This paper reviews the development and transformation process of IC industry in Taiwan. This process will be examined from the longitudinal aspects through synthesizing the literature reviews and observations. It is categorized by three stages: labor-intensive stage, technology-intensive stage and capital-intensive stage for analysis. This study showed that a far-sighted strategy to establish a sound infrastructure of industrial development environment is necessary and sufficient for an emerging new industry especially for high technology. This paper found that the silicon technology cycle in Taiwan is seven years. The closed and dynamic networking relationship among government, university, industry and foreign leaders is instrumental in developing the IC industry in Taiwan.

A Prediction Model for Individual Decision Making Behavior under Fuzzy Decision Problems 模糊决策问题下个体决策行为的预测模型
Pub Date : 2003-07-01 DOI: 10.30166/PPMR.200307.0001

Most decision problems are inherently fuzzy due to of unable precisely defined or the lack of enough information. Thus these decision problems can properly be formulated by fuzzy sets. Such problems differ from the traditional mathematical programming problem of maximizing a well-defined function over a set of alternatives represented by crisp values. However, when alternatives are represented in terms of fuzzy values, one important question remains: how can one choose one alternative from a given set of alternatives so as to achieve, in some sense, ”the best” overall fuzzy value. Current fuzzy decision making methods do not account for subjective values of the decision maker. In this paper the concept of the decision maker's attitude toward fuzziness is defined and a new fuzzy decision making method is derived. The feasibility and validity of the new method is ascertained through experiments. Benchmarking with the indices of preference reversals revealed by the traditional expected utility theory, the new approach leads to better prediction of individual's actual choices.
由于无法精确定义或缺乏足够的信息,大多数决策问题本质上是模糊的。因此,这些决策问题可以用模糊集恰当地表述。这些问题不同于传统的数学规划问题,即在一组由清晰值表示的备选方案上最大化一个定义良好的函数。然而,当备选方案用模糊值表示时,一个重要的问题仍然存在:如何从给定的备选方案集合中选择一个备选方案,以便在某种意义上实现“最佳”的总体模糊值。目前的模糊决策方法没有考虑到决策者的主观价值。本文定义了决策者对模糊性态度的概念,导出了一种新的模糊决策方法。通过实验验证了新方法的可行性和有效性。新方法以传统期望效用理论揭示的偏好逆转指数为基准,可以更好地预测个体的实际选择。

Information Sharing, R&D Collaboration, and R&D Subsidy in International Markets 国际市场的信息共享、研发协作与研发补贴
Pub Date : 2003-07-01 DOI: 10.30166/PPMR.200307.0002

This paper examines the roles that information sharing, R&D collaboration, and government R&D subsidy play in affecting the competitiveness of domestic firms in international markets. Using a simple three-firm two-country model and a simulation approach, we first analyze the strategies of information sharing versus R&D collaboration and find that the latter is more profitable than the former regardless of the rate of spillovers internalized. It is also shown that both strategies are able to generate a profit-shifting effect as that discussed in the literature on strategic trade policy. We then use an equivalent approach to analyze the effect of government R&D subsidy policy when the domestic firms do not engage in cooperative research. Our simulation results suggest that both information sharing and R&D collaboration among firms are superior to R&D subsidy. Further, R&D collaboration in the form of research joint venture is the best strategy in enhancing the domestic firms' international market competitiveness.
本文考察了信息共享、研发合作和政府研发补贴对国内企业国际市场竞争力的影响。利用简单的三企业两国模型和仿真方法,我们首先分析了信息共享与研发合作的策略,发现无论外溢内部化的速度如何,后者都比前者更有利可图。研究还表明,这两种战略都能够产生利润转移效应,正如战略贸易政策文献中所讨论的那样。在此基础上,利用等效方法分析了政府研发补贴政策在国内企业不参与合作研究时的效果。我们的模拟结果表明,企业间的信息共享和研发合作都优于研发补贴。此外,以合资研究企业的形式进行研发合作是提高国内企业国际市场竞争力的最佳策略。

This study examines whether PRC, Taiwanese and U.S. employees' responses to abstract questions were significant predictors of their responses to conceptually equivalent vignettes, and whether the patterns of Sino-U.S. differences revealed through abstract questions deviate from those revealed through vignettes. Data were collected from 344 employees in the three countries who reported their own behavioral tendencies by responding to abstract questions as well as vignettes. Responses to the abstract questions by employees of the three countries did not consistently predict their responses to the vignettes. The patterns of Sino-U.S. differences revealed through the abstract questions deviated substantially from those revealed through the vignettes.

Limits of Using Demand and Supply Theory in a Care Market-An Exploratory Discussion of the Long Term Care Market in Taiwan 需求与供给理论在照护市场应用之局限——台湾长期照护市场之探讨
Pub Date : 2002-07-01 DOI: 10.30166/PPMR.200207.0002
Li-Fan Liu
The factors influence demand and supply of long term care were explored by numerous previous research. Demand and supply, however, are both economic terms. There is a need to incorporate the economic activity such as demand and supply within the general framework of health and social care. This is because it is a challenge to use them in the health and social care in which their characteristics are far from those in a free market. Firstly, the demand and supply used on issues of health and social care and their limits to achieve the social objectives are explored. Then, the case of long term care in Taiwan is discussed by describing the characteristics of long term care market in Taiwan and the forms that government policy may take in its efforts to realize social objectives more fully. As noted, the factors that influence demand and supply of long term care are dynamically intricate. Any interpretation should be used with caution in considering of how and why the demand and supply having been used on issues of long term care and their limits.
影响长期护理需求和供给的因素已被许多先前的研究所探讨。然而,需求和供给都是经济术语。有必要将需求和供应等经济活动纳入保健和社会保健的总体框架。这是因为在保健和社会保健方面使用它们是一项挑战,因为它们的特点与自由市场的特点相去甚远。首先,探讨了用于卫生和社会保健问题的需求和供应及其实现社会目标的限制。其次,以台湾长期照护为例,探讨台湾长期照护市场的特点,以及政府为更充分地实现社会目标而可能采取的政策形式。如上所述,影响长期护理需求和供应的因素是动态复杂的。在使用任何解释时都应谨慎考虑需求和供应如何以及为什么被用于长期护理及其限制的问题。

The Effect of Passing Rate of CPA Examination on the Industrial Structure of Accounting Firms in Taiwan 台湾注册会计师考试合格率对会计师事务所产业结构之影响
Pub Date : 2002-07-01 DOI: 10.30166/PPMR.200207.0004

Auditing report conveys useful information about the financial condition of a firm to the public and is costly to the firm. In Taiwan, the passing rate of the certified public accountant (CPA) exam is quite low before 1988. However, the Examination Yuan in Taiwan raises the passing rate of CPA exam since 1988. Due to the increase of the passing rate, the auditing market is full of CPAs and the market becomes more competitive. This paper examines the effect of the passing rate of CPA exam on the industrial structure of accounting firms and the earnings of CPA firms. Basically, we find that the earnings of CPA firms is positively related to the market share, on-job training costs, labor costs and lawsuit risk. Moreover, the earnings of CPA firms decline after the increase of the passing rate due to a more competitive market. We also find that the on-job training becomes more significant after the increase of the passing rate but the market share becomes less significant. Obviously, the increase of the CPA passing rate induces the accounting firms to spend more education expenditure in raising the quality of their practicing CPA and thus the audit quality. However, the market share of accounting firms is less significant because the market is more competitive after the increase of the passing rate of the CPA exam. Our results are consistent with the theoretical arguments on the agency costs and the monopoly power of the market.
审计报告向公众传达有关公司财务状况的有用信息,对公司来说是昂贵的。台湾在1988年以前,注册会计师考试的通过率相当低。但台湾的考试院自1988年起提高了注册会计师考试的通过率。由于通过率的提高,审计市场充斥着注册会计师,市场竞争更加激烈。本文考察了注册会计师考试通过率对会计师事务所产业结构和会计师事务所收益的影响。基本上,我们发现注册会计师事务所的收益与市场份额、在职培训成本、人工成本和诉讼风险呈正相关。此外,由于市场竞争加剧,会计师事务所的收益在通过率提高后会下降。我们还发现,随着通过率的提高,在职培训变得更加重要,而市场份额变得不那么显著。显然,注册会计师通过率的提高促使会计师事务所投入更多的教育支出来提高执业会计师的素质,从而提高审计质量。然而,会计师事务所的市场份额并不显著,因为在注册会计师考试合格率提高后,市场竞争更加激烈。我们的研究结果与代理成本和市场垄断力的理论论点是一致的。
