Abstract

technology and semiconductor products. This is clearly the exception rather than the norm. The Taiwanese government’s relief and stimulus package constituted a sensible and predictable mix of financial aid, employment assistance, and tax breaks. The author rightly points out that rigorous examination as to the effectiveness of these policies is needed. To this end, perhaps a related question would be whether these standard assistance packages can be provided in a more targeted manner, especially with the availability of big data and digital technology. The case of using big data and financial technology (fintech) in mainland China to inform risk-management decisions is of useful reference. Moreover, it would not be correct to attribute the health of the Taiwanese economy primarily to these packages. Rather, Taiwan’s economic situation seems more a product situated in the greater context of the global economic and geopolitical framework.

谢文进评台湾新冠肺炎经济影响与教训

技术和半导体产品。这显然是一个例外，而不是常态。台湾政府的救济和刺激方案是一个合理和可预测的财政援助、就业援助和税收减免的组合。作者正确地指出，需要对这些政策的有效性进行严格审查。为此，也许一个相关的问题是，能否以更有针对性的方式提供这些标准援助包，特别是在大数据和数字技术可用的情况下。中国大陆利用大数据和金融科技（fintech）为风险管理决策提供信息的案例具有有益的参考意义。此外，将台湾经济的健康主要归因于这些一揽子计划是不正确的。相反，台湾的经济形势似乎更多地是处于全球经济和地缘政治框架更大背景下的产物。
