本文主要係以2000年至2004年的相關資料，運用「一般化雙鑽石模型」對台灣與韓國，這兩個小型開放經濟體系進行分析，進而比較其國家競爭力。本論文對於變數的選擇主要係根據文獻推導所決定，與傳統統計方法不同，且因考慮資料收集的可行性，目前只強調量化變數，而非質性研究，此亦為本研究限制之一。論文研究結果顯示台灣在國內鑽石方面，除了在需求情況不如韓國外，其餘三方面皆優於韓國。而差異的主要原因是因為韓國人口約為台灣的兩倍，在高等教育學生占總人口之比例高於台灣，所以在國內市場需求上，台灣相對較小；至於國際鑽石方面，台灣在要素情況、需求情況、相關及支援產業、與企業策略、結構和競爭對手等四方面皆享有較高的國際競爭力。

The purpose of this paper is to compare the competitiveness of the economies of Taiwan and Korea. It applies a generalized double diamond model approach to analyse the overall competitiveness of these two small open economies. The choice of variables is based upon literature reviews which are not similar to traditionally statistical methodology and the choice of variables also only emphasizes on the quantitative variables instead of qualitative variables. This is for the purpose of the feasibility of data collections, whereas there exists severe difficulty and complexity in the qualitative variables. This is one of the limitations of this research. The empirical results of this research, Taiwan surpasses Korea in all decisive factors with the exception of the demand condition in the domestic diamond in the years 2000–2004, which is due to Korea’s population being more than double Taiwan’s, and the average percentage of population that has attained at least tertiary education, Taiwan is less than Korea. As to the international diamond, Taiwan enjoys comparatively high competitiveness, and its international diamond is better than Korea’s in all four parts.
