Many empirical studies in law and economics require the use of the court written judgements. These materials are not only available in foreign countries. In fact, Taiwan also has relatively complete court decisions at all court-levels. This article will introduce the common used two data sets provided by the Judicial Yuan: one is a well-organized and structured summary information and the other is a less structured documents. They both can be downloaded for free and can provide useful information. In recent years, big data and artificial intelligence have brought great impacts in various subject areas. How to make full use of the above data sets has become an important topic in this research field. This article will also share some text pre-processing experience for readers' reference, which may help researchers to overcome the data barriers of empirical research in law and economics. |
