    Effects of oil prices on traffic congestion in Metro Manila
    (2006-11-06) De Borja, Princess Paulette Q.; Gaurino, Justine Anne T.; Tan, Edita
    This paper will analyze the effects of changes in the price of petroleum on traffic volume and car ownership in Metro Manila. Using available measures and a 20-year period time series data, this paper establishes aĀ· negative relationship of petroleum prices with the demand for travel in the short run, and at the same time, seeks to determine the crucial determinants for the demand for automobiles in the long run. Due to data limitations; the study will only be using data from Metro Manila, and therefore, the results may not be applicable to rural areas. It was seen that car ownership is heavily dependent on income in the long run while traffic volume is very responsive to fuel prices in the short run.

    The effect of oil in the price of selected food commodities
    (2008-10) Bundoc, Filipinas G.; Jacaban, Silvanna T.; Alburo, Florian
    The study analyses the relationship between the price of oil and of selected food commodities. The extension of Popkin's stage-of-processing model in general price determination was applied, wherein the current and lagged prices of resources, complements and substitutes, lagged own price and seasonality were included as variables. Using the correlation matrix analysis and least squares estimation, the significance of oil as an explanatory variable for the prices of food commodities was then determined. The correlation matrix showed a high positive correlation between diesel oil and food prices. However, using the least squares estimations, it was found that diesel oil prices, though significantly affects retail prices of some food commodities, is not a major factor which causes food prices to increase with respect to diesel oil prices. Previous prices of the food commodity and even the current and previous prices of its substitutes have greater effects on food prices. Thus, food price stabilization is not just a matter of keeping input prices such as oil to as low as possible; but primarily, guarding the general price level.

    The effects of oil price shocks on the Philippine economy: a VAR approach
    (2005-04) Raguindin, Maria Cristina E.; Reyes, Robert G.
    The study investigates the relationship between changes in crude oil prices and Philippine macroeconomy. Two sets of vector autoregression 01 AR) models are employed using linear and non-linear oil price specifications among five key macroeconomic variables: real gross domestic product, consumer price index, real effective exchange rates, real wages and money supply. From the linear oil price specification V AR model, the impulse response functions reveal that oil price movements cause significant reduction in aggregate output and increase inflation. The variance decomposition shows that crude oil prices significantly contribute to the variability of real GDP and inflation. On the other hand, positive oil price changes from the non-linear specification show a more persistent contraction in economic activity and worsen inflation more than the estimates obtained from the linear specification. Alternatively, negative oil price changes; nevertheless, show that real aggregate output falls and inflation rises despite declining world oil prices. Moreover, oil price decreases appear to play a greater role on each variable's variation than oil price increases, except for the case of real effective exchange rate. Despite these macroeconometric results, caution must be exercised in formulating energy policies since future effects of upcoming oil shocks will not be the same as what happened in the past (known as "Lucas Critique"). Explorations and development of practicable alternatives to imported fuel energy will cushion the economy fromĀ· the repercussions of oil shocks. Future studies should employ other macroeconomic variables to represent economic activity, price level and monetary policy as well as unemployment and fiscal policy reactions. The government's statistical agencies must maintain comprehensive databases on energy that will include micro-level data in order to more accurately assess how each sector of the economy is affected by oil price shocks.

    A review of the Philippine tax on diesel
    (2004-03) Panganiban, Jasmin P.; Refuerzo, Eric
    This paper analyzes the structure of excise taxation of 3 petroleum products in the Philippines and investigates how an increase in the tax rate would affect the demand of the particular good. The study finds that attempts to increase specific tax on diesel may prove to be advantageous to the economy as a whole.
