Fax: 886-426390859 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This study uses the indicators released by the Taiwan Securities & Futures Institute to re-score by hand the 262 listed companies in Taiwan’s electronics industry as measurements of those companies’ information transparency. In addition, we adopt book value per share, modified Tobin’s Q, stock price and return on equity as measured variables of firm value to explore the influence of information transparency on firm value. Based on structural equation model (SEM) analysis and path analysis with observed variables (PA-OV), we find that information transparency is positively correlated with firm value, indicating that the more transparent a firm’s information, the higher the firm value. We also find that the timeliness of information disclosure is the most important factor in information transparency and that it has a positive relationship with both stock price and return on equity.

  • A Generalized DEMATEL Theory with a Shrinkage Coefficient for an Indirect Relation Matrix
    MATEC Web of Conferences 119, 01020 (2017) DOI: 10.1051/ matecconf/201711901020 IMETI 2016 A generalized DEMATEL theory with a shrinkage coefficient for an indirect relation matrix Hsiang-Chuan Liu1, Ben-Chang Shia2, Yih-Chang Ou3,a and Huan-Wen Su4 1Department of Biomedical Informatics, Asia University, Taichung 41354, Taiwan 2Big Data Research Center & School of Management School of Health Care Administration, Taipei Medical University, Taipei 11031, Taiwan 3Department of Finance, Ling Tung University, Taichung 40852, Taiwan 4 Graduate School of Business Administration, Fu Jen Catholic University, Xinzhuang Dist., New Taipei City 24205, Taiwan Abstract. In this paper, a novel decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) theory with a shrinkage coefficient of indirect relation matrix is proposed, and a useful validity index, called Liu’s validity index, is also proposed for evaluating the performance of any DEMATEL model. If the shrinkage coefficient of an indirect relation matrix is equal to 1, then this new theory is identical to the traditional theory; in other words, it is a generalization of the traditional theory. Furthermore, the indirect relation is always considerably greater than the direct one in traditional DEMATEL theory, which is unreasonable and unfair because it overemphasizes the influence of the indirect relation. We prove in this paper that if the shrinkage coefficient is equal to 0.5, then the indirect relation is less than its direct relation. Because the shrinkage coefficient belongs to [0.5, 1], according to Liu’s validity index, we can find a more appropriate shrinkage coefficient to obtain a more efficient DEMATEL method. Some crucial properties of this new theory are discussed, and a simple example is provided to illustrate the advantages of the proposed theory.

  • The Rankings of Research Funding Among Universities in Taiwan
    Mar. 2010, Volume 7, No.3 (Serial No.64) US-China Education Review, ISSN 1548-6613, USA The rankings of research funding among universities in Taiwan WANG Ru-Jer (Department of Education, Graduate Institute of Educational Policy and Administration, National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei 106, Taiwan) Abstract: With the current trend that universities around the world have gradually stepped into higher education systems of popularization, there has been more diversity in universities; hence it has become necessary to increase the transparency of university governance. Since that university classification or university ranking is a powerful mechanism to demonstrate the diversity of an institute, the rankings of research funding have become desirable and also of great value. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the rankings of research funding among universities in Taiwan, and make relevant suggestions based on the findings. A secondary data analysis was conducted on the data obtained from the database of National Science Council, in order to develop the rankings of research funding among 164 universities in Taiwan. Based on the results, the conclusions are as follows: (1) The top three universities which won the funding of the National Science Council Research Project with the best overall strength were National Taiwan University, National Cheng Gung University, and National Chiao Tung University; (2) The top three universities which won the funding of the National Science Council Research Project with the best average faculty strength were National Tsing Hua University, National Chiao Tung University, and National Taiwan University. It is suggested that, when rating the strength of a university to win the research funding, both overall strength and average faculty strength should be considered to avoid the unfairness towards universities of smaller scale.

  • Differences Between Public and Private Institutions of Taiwan's
    Jul. 2008, Volume 5, No.7 (Serial No.44) US-China Education Review, ISSN1548-6613, USA Differences between public and private institutions of Taiwan’s HTVE system in determinants of competitiveness HUANG Chien-ern1, YUAN Young2, HUANG Chien-fu3 (1. Department of Public Finance, Ling Tung University, Taichung 408, Taiwan; 2. Department of Accounting & Information Technology, Ling Tung University, Taichung 408, Taiwan; 3. Office of Research & Development, Ling Tung University, Taichung 408, Taiwan) Abstract: Technological and vocational education has played a very important role in the development of Taiwan’s economy. The purpose of this research is to examine the determinants of competitiveness with a focus on differences between public and private institutions in Taiwan’s HTVE system. Determinants of internal and external factors were identified, and a competitiveness index was established. Results found that faculty teaching performance and completeness of curriculum design were the major determinants of internal factor. Financial support from government was the most influential determinant of public institutions in external factor, yet private institutions considered population growth rate was the most important one. Despite of top 3 institutions of both types, private universities seem possess relatively more competitive advantages than their public counterparts, and public colleges seem possess relatively more competitive advantages than their private competitors. Key words: higher education; Taiwan; technological and vocational education; competitiveness; determinants of competitiveness 1. Introduction Taiwan’s Higher Technological and Vocational Education (HTVE) system has experienced tremendous expansion during the past two decades, the number of technological colleges/universities grow up nearly 20% in those years. In contrast to the sharp increase in the number of HTVE schools, the growth rate of population and government financial support on higher education was declining in resent years.

  • Is Per Capita Real GDP Stationary in African Countries? Evidence from Panel SURADF Test
    Applied Economics Letters, 2006, 13, 1003–1008 Is per capita real GDP stationary in African countries? Evidence from panel SURADF test Tsangyao Changa,*, Hsu-Ling Changb, Hsiao-Ping Chuc and Chi-Wei Sud aDepartment of Finance, Feng Chia University, Taichung, Taiwan bDepartment of Accounting and Information Technology, Ling Tung University, Taichung, Taiwan cDepartment of Business Administration, Ling Tung University, Taichung, Taiwan dDepartment of Finance, Providence University, Taichung, Taiwan This note uses the newly developed panel SURADF tests advanced by Breuer et al. (2001) to investigate the time-series properties of real GDP for 47 African countries for the period 1980 to 2004. While the other Panel-based unit root tests are joint tests of a unit root for all members of the panel and are incapable of determining the mix of I(0) and I(1) series in the panel setting, the Panel SURADF tests a separate unit-root null hypothesis for each individual panel member and, therefore identifies how many and which series in the panel are stationary processes. The empirical results from several panel-based unit root tests indicate that the per capita real GDP for all the countries studied are non-stationary, however, when Breuer et al.’s Panel SURADF tests are conducted, one finds unit root in per capita real GDP only exist in two-third of countries studied. These results have important policy implications for African countries. I. Introduction making, modelling, testing and forecasting. Studies on this issue are of concern not only to empirical Ever since Nelson and Plosser (1982) published their researchers but also policymakers.
