Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 經濟學系 === 100 === This thesis investigates the impacts of National Health Insurance and New Labor Pension Scheme on the wage rates in Taiwan. National health insurance and New Labor Pension Scheme are implemented in March 1995 and July 2005, respectively. Both of them are financed by premiums, which are proportional to an employee’s salary. The premium rate may introduce distortions to the labor market. We find that, on average, private sector employees’ wage rates declined relative to the public sector counterparts under both of National Health Insurance and New Labor Pension Scheme. We also compare the results with the previous studies to explore the divergence under different ways of sample restrictions.
