This year Taiwan’s standard of living surpassed Japan’s
Quote:
1. In 2010, according to the IMF, Japan’s income per head will amount to $33,800; Taiwan’s will be over $34,700 (see chart).
2. If calculated at market rates, Japan’s per capita income ($42,300) is still far higher than Taiwan’s ($18,300). Tokyo’s chic neighbourhoods certainly look better heeled than their counterparts in Taipei, which even some residents describe as outdated and quaint.
3. PPPs are based on a global survey of prices led by the World Bank in 2005. It found that Taiwan’s housing was a third cheaper than Japan’s, even though Taiwan’s population density is 90% higher.
4. The bank also found that Taiwan’s food was half the cost of Japan’s. But inevitably the comparisons can be contested. Taiwanese food may seem cheap next to Japan’s sushi, sashimi and fugu. But, then again, how much would you pay for stinky tofu?
這期economist非常Asia
有一篇在講關於中國船長衝撞日本保衛廳船隻的影片外洩
(話說上週末在日本電視都在討論這新聞)
還有一篇是這個 討論台灣的GDP@PPP終於超越日本
上頭是我節錄這片文章的四個重點
1. 2010年台灣GDP@PPP是34,700 稍稍超越日本
2. 如果是用市值換算 日本人當然還是賺得比台灣人多多了
可是同時日本的消費也高到無時不讓人感覺淌血
阿恩溝台灣生活品質實在也差日本一大大大大大截
實在不是金錢能夠衡量的
3. PPP是根據世界銀行2005年做的調查
台灣的房價平均比日本的便宜1/3
即便是台灣人口擁擠程度比日本高90%
(所以房價漲不停實在是正常的)
4. 台灣食物也比日本便宜一半以上
但這點很明顯的是很具爭論性
跟日本壽司生魚片河豚比較台灣食物當然便宜的多
阿恩溝你願意花多少錢買一份臭豆腐！？？？
這作者對台灣對日本都好了解
不愧是economist寫出來的文章 精闢入理
連我降local兩邊都混過的人都找不出一個可攻擊點
如果能讓我住在六本木我完全會心甘情願掏更多錢出來的
在台北！？oh well
1500買現在這間房子我勉強還可以忍受
要我付更多錢我就不願意了
(而現在連付更多錢都買不到 ∵拎祖媽不賣)
哈哈哈哈哈哈
