Our guest today is Professor Fan Chia-chung (Elliott Fan), Professor of Economics at National Taiwan University. His research explores how work, family, education, and gender shape economic development, with particular attention to the experiences of women and their contribution to Taiwan’s economic transformation.
In this episode he discusses how the unexpected result of an experiment he carried out in 2015 led him on a research journey that has uncovered many significant factors impacting Taiwan’s economic and social development, and the unique role that Taiwan’s women have played in it all.
