This paper attempts to diagnose whether the Philippines is suffering from the said phenomenon. Using the three-stage least squares estimation method, we assess the behavior of the real exchange rate in relation to increases in capital flows and determine its subsequent effects on the different sectors of the economy. The econometric results of the paper confirm the theories that inflows such as remittances and ODA cause real appreciation. Results also confirm the relationship between the exchange rate and the growth in the non-tradable sector. However, we found that with a real appreciation, the tradable sector experienced growth instead of a decline. We thus end with the conclusion that the Philippines is not suffering from the Dutch disease, although several symptoms are already present. Nonetheless, measures should be taken by the government to prevent the Dutch disease from fully taking effect.Item Restricted Exchange rates and consumer spending(2001-07) Depasucat, Reyna Faith B.; Sinay, Joy Blessilda F.Item Restricted Impact effects of the tariff reform program and the exchange rate adjustments on the agricultural sector(1988-02) Inguillo, Encarnita A.Item Restricted The purchasing power parity theory of exchange rates: an application to the Philippines(1988-03-11) Sistoza, Erwinn C.; Concepcion, Raffy B.Item Restricted Selected non-traditional exports and exchange rates(1993-03) Casipe, Maribel C.; Colon, Lily Grace M.; Fabella, Raul V.Item Restricted The effects of the exchange rate fluctuations on the Philippine garment export industry(1995-03) Ordonez, Marie Therese P.; Pangilinan, Victor Emmanuel M.; Mendoza, Maria Nimfa F.This undergraduate thesis will determine the effects which fluctuations in the exchange rate or more specifically, the appreciation of the peso will have on the level of exports in the Philippines garment industry. Using the ordinary least squares method, with X (the level of exports) as our dependent variable and the real effective exchange rate (REER.) and the real gross domestic products of the Philippines, Japan, Germany and United States as our independent variables, results have shown that indeed the REER, as well as the GDPs of the Philippines and the United States are very significant factors in determining the level of ourgarment exports. On the other hand, the GDPs of Japan and Germany are factors that are insignificant in terms of determining the amount of our garment exports.
