2016－2017年臺灣經濟史研究的回顧與展望

Economic History Research in Taiwan (2016-2017): Retrospect and Prospect

本文先就2016－2017年臺灣經濟史的研究成果依據議題的相似性進行簡要分類，並挑選部分進行介紹。其次，以日本經濟史長期的研究累積為例，經由馬克思經濟學與數量經濟史兩種研究流派的發展經驗，提出臺灣經濟史研究可供借鏡之處。復次，將針對戰後經濟史的論爭可能存在的癥結點提供說明，也檢討戰後經濟史研究應具備的歷史認識基礎。最後，將從作者的研究經驗出發，對數位化檔案、資料庫和統計數字運用時存在的盲點進行考察，並簡要對歷史學與社會科學研究經濟史的方法與可能之侷限進行討論。

According to the similarity of topics discussed, this study performed a simple classification of research results on economic history in Taiwan published between 2016 and 2017, highlighting several studies of significance. Moreover, suggestions for economic history research in Taiwan were proposed using the research results from Japanese economic history accumulated over an extensive period as an example and with reference to the development of research on Marxian economics and cliometrics. In addition, points of contention in topics on post-war economic history were pointed out and fundamental historical knowledge required for conducting research on these topics were identified. Finally, blind spots in using digital archives, databases and statistics were explored along with a brief discussion on historical and social science methods applicable to economic history research and the limitations of these methods.
