兩岸經貿研究之方法論探討

兩岸經濟、貿易等問題之研究可能因兩岸交流便利而大量增加。因此，本研究根據「修正之後實證主義社會科學哲學觀」之哲學基礎，並以廣義社會科學哲學探討為研究途徑，採取文獻分析、詮釋與批判等研究方法，深入探討兩岸經貿問題有關研究之方法論典範，以期提昇未來兩岸經貿問題研究之學術研究品質。本研究認為在兩岸經貿問題研究上，非西方社會有必要瞭解與研究社會科學哲學等方法論問題，以進行哲學反思與知識整合，進而使知識增長，提升學術研究水準。而兩岸經貿問題具高度複雜特性，是一科際整合之學術研究領域。本研究也發現，兩岸經貿研究之方法論典範，可以分為：「廣義質的研究」，包括「定性研究」與「質的研究」：「廣義量化研究」，包括「數理邏輯」與「量化研究」。雖然，各研究方法模式在本體論、認識論與方法論，以及研究方法之意義等方面可能不一定相同。但是，本研究認為與兩岸經貿研究有關「方法論」之教育與研究，應根據問題特性與研究資源等，接納多元研究模式，適時加以整合，才是較佳研究途徑，如此將比較能對未來學術研究提供重大之貢獻。未來在研究資源配合下，可以進一步針對兩岸經貿研究之方法論進行實證或實徵研究等研究分析。

The studies of cross-strait economy and trade and other issues may increase because of convenient exchange between Taiwan and Mainland China. Therefore, in this study, according to ”the modified Post-positivism of philosophy of social sciences”, and by generalized philosophy of social sciences research approach, and adopts research methods of literature analysis, interpretation and critical theory to study the methodology paradigm of the research of the cross-strait economic and trade, in order to improve the quality of academic researches about the cross-strait economic and trade issues.In this study, researcher considers that in the studies of cross-strait economic and trade issues, the researchers of non-western societies have to understand and research the methodology of philosophy of social sciences, and doing philosophical reflection and knowledge integration to increase knowledge and quality of academic researches. The cross-strait economic and trade issues with highly complex features, is an interdisciplinary studies.According to this study researcher also finds that the methodology of the research of the cross-strait economic and trade issues can be divided into ”generalized qualitative research” approach, including ”thinking research” method and ”qualitative research” method, and ”generalized quantitative research” approach, including ”mathematical logic” method and ”quantitative research” method. Although from the meanings of the ontology, epistemology, methodology and research methods of four research methods in the studies may be different. However, the research of this study considers that the relevant methodology education and practical research should try to accept or integrate other research methods. It will be a better research approach. And it is good to provide a significant contribution in the studies of cross-strait economic and trade issues in the future. And, according to the sufficient research resources relevant study can inquire methodology by appropriately integrating different research methods, and doing positive or empirical study in the cross-strait economic and trade issues in the future.
