You can't understand Taiwan by simply learning Chinese. 八芝蘭 is a place name in Northern Taiwan. It's indeed Javanese. It comes from Pecinan a Javanese word, named by Dutch VOC, imported from their colonial experience in Java. For those thinking Taiwan study = China study.

It's very wired to depict Taiwan began its export-oriented policy after KMT came to Taiwan. During the Japanese colonial period, Taiwan's major economic activities was to export sugar and rice to Japan. Even earlier, Qing Taiwan's tea, sugar, camphor, rice were key exports.

Yes, and the research you see in grad school is also the "finished product." It's top 1% in quality, and at the end of the production process. It makes grad students a brutal audience, but it also makes you feel helpless because you have an improper benchmark for your own work.

We put together a team of macro-, micro- and energy economists to think about the question: what would be the effects on the German economy of a stop of energy imports from Russia? In short: moderate, especially in combination with the right policy response. 1/

Econ history folks--have you guys ever read a paper using firm data containing companies from both colonial power e.g. Britain and the locals e.g. Gold Coast (today Ghana)? Try to do a lit review so happy to cite as many as possible

It's a long journey: Raised by illiterate grandma and growing in the poorest family in a poor village in Taiwan, my grandma only knew two universities' names: NTU and Harvard. I've been at NTU for a while and now start to work at @Harvard . So.. just never give it up! 3/n

I will present a talk about Hong Kong economic history in a study group this week, on HK's colonial origin of economic miracle and rapid deindustrialization. Something in my checklist...

My streaming of X/Twitter--English, Japanese, and Chinese--only mentions Claudia! Every time I said she is "one of the greatest economists and economic historians in our time," Claudia would reply, "Shao-Yu you are too kind." OK now Nobel committee confirms I am not too kind!

While I should not tweet during working but is anybody who can suggest refreshing musics as I'm rushing paper submission deadline with my team members just two weeks later? I find Imagined Dragons and Cardi B work well in general. More options appreciated.

Today, TSMC's chip is the key to sustaining the global tech supply chain. A century ago, Taiwan's camphor manufacturing also took a critical link in the global chemical supply chain to produce celluloid. Without celluloid, Hollywood would not make a film.

I have received a rejection letter from a top-5 econ journal today. Two careful ref reports spotted several conceptual and empirical concerns in my paper, with the constructive suggestions. I am a bit depressed but really appreciate their thoughtful comments.

@MelissaLDell @pquerubo @PikaGoldin @LeanderHeldring @VivianoDavide @jiafengkevinc @vshivramv @SuproteemSarkar @IQSS @ming_jen I will keep working on Taiwan, but I’ve extend my footage to Korea, Japan and China. Recently I pay attention to South Africa and Ghana. I just realized African countries were not that different from East Asian ones historically. Hope I I will write more fun papers soon! (7/n)

How did Japanese colonial government fundamentally change Taiwan's state capacity? Here is a figure: nominal tax rev per capita from 1895 to 1944. The real fiscal capacity, in terms of labor days, increased from 3 labor days per person in 1896 to 30 days in 1942. #Taiwan
