各國貪腐控制程度與COVID-19 疫苗施打效率相關性分析

本研究利用各國貪腐控制的差異來解釋疫苗施打進展的跨國差異性，並假設在控制與疫苗施打有關的其他重要因素的情況下，貪腐控制程度較佳的國家，在施打疫苗比率方面的表現也會較好。其次，從過去的研究發現非洲地區的國家普遍施打的表現較差，形成一種疫苗施打表現的空間群聚現象，也就是說非洲地區與其他國家的施打表現明顯有差異，產生在空間上可能的異質情形。因此本研究利用跨國的資料，透過傳統迴歸與地理加權迴歸檢驗各國貪腐控制程度與疫苗覆蓋率之間的關係。經過結果分析之後，本研究發現一個國家的貪腐控制程度確實會正向的影響其施打COVID-19 疫苗的表現，清廉程度越高的國家，其疫苗覆蓋率的表現也會較佳。在空間異質現象的發現上，則發現非洲地區在貪腐控制與疫苗覆蓋表現的關係程度最強。

The Correlation Between the Development of Corruption Control and the Coverage of COVID-19 Vaccine: A Preliminary Study of Spatial Heterogeneity

This study attempts to explain the correlation between the level of corruption control and vaccination performance across countries, controlling for other important variables related to vaccination. The assumption is that countries with better corruption control are more likely to have better vaccination performance. Secondly, some past studies find that African countries generally performed poorly in vaccination, and form a spatial clustering of poor vaccination performance. It will be a spatial heterogeneous situation.

Crisis Management and Government Performance: The Impact of Leader’s Impressions on Evaluations of Government Response to Covid-19

Amid the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak, how do the Taiwanese public evaluate the performance of the United States’ and Chinese governments in handling the pandemic? How should people make judgments when the international situation and information about the coronavirus disease keep changing? Using “image theory as its research framework, this study explores whether the Taiwanese public’s impressions of U.S. and Chinese leaders and China’s military threat toward Taiwan affect their perceptions of the U.S. and China governments’ responses to Covid-19.
