| dc.description.abstract | Due to its geographical location, the Philippines is vulnerable to the risks brought about by typhoons that are frequently experienced in the area. We aimed to shed light into the impact of meteorological disasters in the country, specifically on the Philippine financial market. Using data on the price inflation of rice, corn, meat, and fish from 2009 to 2015, we applied the Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) Model to determine the impact of disasters on price inflation. The study found that meteorological disasters have a generally upward impact on price inflation, particularly observed after 1 or more months. If not addressed, the increase in the prices of these goods may lead to a decrease in the purchasing power of the consumers who may have very well been affected by the disaster themselves. | |
