In a world of imperfect information and inequality, the government intervention can help the market to achieve more efficient and more equitable outcomes. However, there are market interventions that create distortions in the economy and produce economic inefficiencies. For example, the agrarian reform program during the Marcos Era (PD 27) was found to have introduced land pawning and conversions from rice and corn to other crops production as means of avoidance. In the same way, RA 6657 spurred land conversion all over the country. The argument is that the land conversion issue should be viewed as an agrarian issue. It should be seen as arising from efforts of landowners to circumvent the reform program. The fact that PD 27 and RA 6657 made landowners insecure about their property rights, coupled with the fact that the compensation that they expect to receive when their land is acquired by the government is based on agricultural rather than its urban value, made premature conversions very likely to happen in rapidly urbanizing areas.Item Unknown Public provision and demand for health services: a case study of Bicol(1986-05) Ching, Panfila; Medalla, Felipe M.Item Unknown Roads for achieving sel-sufficiency in rice(1992-03) Castor, Normita J.; Medalla, Felipe M.Item Unknown Some determinants of bank interest margins: the Philippine case(1992-11) Billena, Maria Theresa C.; Medalla, Felipe M.The study addresses some of the variables that must be considered in understanding the spread between the bank's loan rate and its deposit rate. A hypothetical break-even margin is derived that incorporates the interest expense or explicit cost of funds, the reserve requirement ratio, the past due rate and the gross receipt tax. The study shows, that regression analysis confirms the significant relationship between the hypothetical break-even margin and the actual interest rate spread maintained by banks. The same framework is further used to show analytically that there is an implicit interaction between the different variables considered in this hypothetical break-even margin.Item Unknown The determinants of off-farm income in the Philippines: a cross-section analysis(1987-09) Concepcion, Edwin Q.; Medalla, Felipe M.This paper mainly focuses on the investigation of the factors which determine off-farm incomes of farm households in the Philippines. Background literature on farm households' off-farm incomes, which frames the development context and highlights the considerable income and employment repercussions of off-farm activities, is presented. The study's off-farm income model suggests the functional relationships among selected variables. The data base required to test the hypotheses is scrutinized. Evaluation of the study's concerns proceeds through the instrumentality of multivariate data analysis. The empirical findings, amongst which is the observation that the nonagricultural sector fails to draw-n significant part-time occupational participation from farm households, are summarized and policy implications discussed.Item Unknown Welfare implications and efficiency conditions of a LRT price increase.(1992-01) Tan, Luke T.; Khoe, Gracielu G.; Medalla, Felipe M.
