| Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 國際貿易研究所 === 99 === Starting 1980s, Taiwan’s electronic industry plays an important role in the global electronic supply chain, from high-tech growth in information and semiconductor industries of earlier stage to optical- electro industry in the 2000s, all are major engines for Taiwan’s economic growth. Among Taiwan’s major export goods, top ten are all from the electronic industry which took 24 percent share of export values, evident of the importance of electronic industry to Taiwan’s economic growth.
This study uses the multiple regression model to conduct an empirical research. The export value of Taiwan’s electronic industry is used as the dependant variable；five independent variables are NT$/US$ exchange rate, employment population of the electronic industry, average education level, average salary, and the electricity consumption. Empirical results show that employment population and electricity consumption significantly affect the total export value under 5 percent significant level. Moreover, the average education level also significantly affects the export value under 10 percent significant level. However, the NT$/US$ exchange rate and average salary would not significantly affect the total export value.
The findings illustrate the importance of human resource and energy consumption and therefore suggest that the government should provide more stable energy supply and the industry should emphasize training on employees and their welfare and to establish a better promotion system in order to attract more qualified people with higher academic degrees to join in the industry.
