Furthermore, we find that the role of SOEs in monetary policy transmission is more significant in underdeveloped cities and cities with a high level of government intervention.

The six channels we consider are changes in: (i) physical capital; (ii) human capital; (iii) average working hours; (iv) labor participation rate; (v) age composition of 15–64 (the share of population aged between 15 and 64 years; and (vi) total factor productivity (TFP). We first confirm findings from previous studies that aging in OECD countries has negative effects on GDP growth per capita. We then find that the most important channel through which the negative effects of aging on economic growth operate is lowered TFP growth. Across our empirical specifications, lowered TFP growth associated with aging explains more than fully the lowered growth rate of GDP per capita. We also find evidence of demographic deficit (decreases in working age population share), but this negative effect of aging is more than nullified by compensating increases in the average working hours and the labor force participation rate. We conclude that because TFP growth rate can be permanently lowered, aging's negative effects on GDP growth per capita are expected to be permanent.","PeriodicalId":52020,"journal":{"name":"Asian Economic Papers","volume":"20 1","pages":"138-159"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48392521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After MERS, the Korean government revised the Contagious Disease Prevention and Control Act and granted public agencies the right to collect, profile, and share certain categories of personal information at the outbreak of a serious infectious disease. Many other countries have also introduced similar measures to track, trace, and contain the spread of COVID-19 by using digital technologies for effective front-line responses. While such exceptional measures prove to be an effective control measure in the early stages of COVID-19 when there are a limited and manageable number of cases, the approach may hamper privacy and other fundamental rights of citizens.","PeriodicalId":52020,"journal":{"name":"Asian Economic Papers","volume":"20 1","pages":"70-72"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47691433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The approach looks innocuous considering the model frequency is annual. But the model could be extended to shed light on two channels related to the containment measures. The direct channel works by reducing the economic activity including withholding labor supply and rebalancing the consumption basket, of which effects are well reflected in the current model. We also need to notice that the indirect or compounding channel is likely to work. There exists a trade-off between the level of containment measures and the persistence of the health shock. In the case of COVID-19, lowering containment measures led to further waves, while the lockdown significantly reduced the spread. Hence, the policymakers’ decision should include containment measures as well as monetary and fiscal measures. As pointed out in Abel and Panageas (2020), “[t]he key tradeoff facing the planner is that increased interaction leads to more output, but also more deaths from the disease.” Recently, a model with the susceptible-infectious-removed (SIR) extension is explored to take the tradeoff into account.","PeriodicalId":52020,"journal":{"name":"Asian Economic Papers","volume":"20 1","pages":"33-37"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43400373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":52020,"journal":{"name":"Asian Economic Papers","volume":"20 1","pages":"120-122"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45248256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
