"The problem is broader than Watsi. Even as it becomes easier to see and care for people lying injured on the side of the virtual highway, it becomes harder to perceive and easier to ignore the “road” conditions that caused their injuries"
在台灣的各位,通常會感受到韓國的競爭壓力。主流媒體上雖然經常比較兩個國家,但流於表象。疏忽了韓國在金融危機後,整體的行政機器改造。 這篇文章的重點是在於行政機器的改在套用在貿易協定的簽訂以及發展的歷程。
美國智庫布魯金斯學會(Brookings Institution)在2013年由Mireya Solís發表了這篇文章,算是系統性介紹歷年韓國FTA政策的導讀。此外,由兩位韓國學者撰寫的韓國FTA架構(Korea's FTA structure),補上了國內民眾對於FTA衝擊的反應,與國會和行政部門的折衝的過程。 希望這兩篇文章的介紹,讓在台灣的讀者更了解FTA會給社會帶來甚麼轉變,以及政府在這過程中的角色。 主要參考文獻: South Korea's Fateful Decision on the Trans-Pacific Partnership by Mireya Solis (Brookings Institution, Sept. 2013) Korea's FTA Structure by Prof. Park, Young Bae, Dong Eui University and Mr. Moon, Sang Bak, Australian National University
我想要在文首加一下這個公式, 以及引述J.H. Cochrane在2011年Journal of Finance "Presidential Address:Discount Rate" 一文中的一句話.
"All a 'price bubble' can possibly mean now is that the equivalent discount rate is 'too low' relative to some theory,........, this equivalence guides us to a much more profitable discussion" "所謂的泡沫陳述可能只是現下的折現率, 相較於理論的推估值,過低,這樣的陳述引導我們到更有建設性的討論"
本來我想要一體成文,不過最後還是拆成兩篇。想多看點理論基礎的朋友可以從這篇出發,想要直接到我的"假想"的可以到:
我會試圖回答下面這兩個問題: 1.) 台商到了中國/其他東南亞國家是否必要首選台灣的銀行? 2.) 如果首選台灣的銀行業,這些廠商的理由是甚麼?

In crisis time, labor markets are always under the spot light. Of course, lots of talks are on financial system. Yet, to my belief, human, as we see in labor markets, is the only core of economy.
