| dc.description.abstract | This paper aims to study the foreseen effects of unification on the stock market and economy of the Philippines, on both macroeconomic and microeconomics levels, but focusing more on the former. This will be done by analyzing the volume of stocks traded, number of listed companies, direct investment, employment and government revenue of Hongkong , the United Kingdom and Australia, countries which have already unified their stock exchanges. The empirical results show that unification has the greatest impact on the volume of stocks traded. Its impact on the other aspects, however, is difficult to gauge for different outcomes were observed in the countries studied. Nevertheless, it can not be said that unification has no bearing on the said aspects since other factors, like the political, social and economic conditions prevailing in the country, government policies and interest rates also affect these points. These factors may have offset the impact of unification on the aspects mentioned above. Thus, these other factors should be considered in in analyzing the effects of unification on the Philippines. In this regard, it could be said that the unification of the Manila and Makati stock exchanges would be beneficial to the country, with the current economic reforms which the government is now undertaking. | |
