Master Thesis, University of Konstanz 康斯坦茲大學碩士論文 • 2023
This paper explores the forecasting performance for global shipping rates, comparing time series models (VAR) and neural network models for predicting the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) and Kilian Index. The research finds that VAR models perform better in most scenarios, while neural networks are suitable for long-term trend forecasting. Additionally, the impact of major international events significantly affects forecasting accuracy; when these events are excluded, the performance difference between different models diminishes. 建立時間序列與神經網絡模型預測全球乾貨航運價格，應用 Python 及 Tensorflow 等工具執行訓練與分析，並在有限訓練時間與成本下透過微調提升預測準確度。

This paper explores intergenerational income mobility through the education channel. We use 2000–2015 household income data provided by the Fiscal Information Agency. We find a strong correlation between household income and access to higher education. The median of yearly household income in the full sample is 0.86 million NTD, while the medians among National Taiwan University students and public university students are higher than 1.5 and 1 million NTD respectively. We look into asset distribution in every education category, finding a huge amount of wealth inequality and rigidity of intergenerational mobility. The positive correlation between education subsidy and students’ household income shows that government subsidy may lead to income redistribution from the poor to the rich. 分析財稅資料中心提供 2000-2015 年之千萬筆母體稅務資料，探討親代所得與資產如何影響子代教育取得之機會。為碩士論文改寫刊登於經濟論文叢刊、並與報導者合作發表專欄
