Item Restricted U.P. AB Economics graduates in private firms and government agencies(1981-01) Racaza, Leonila Q.Item Restricted The value of practicum for business and economic graduates(2001-03) Gener, Ryan Francis; Leonardo, Christian Ryan; Solon, OrvilleHow is practicum for Business and Economics majors valued in the labor market? How is it related to productivity, salary and the brevity of waiting time for employment? These questions are examined by using a sample of U.P. B.S.B.A., B.S.B.E. and B.S.E graduates. The results show three phenomenon. The first is that practicumers receive relatively larger initial salaries. The second, practicumers are employed earlier on. The third is that the salaries of practicumers converge as the influence of practicum on productivity and hence, salary declines over time. However, the decline in the significance of practicum as a determinant of salary exhibits the least rate as compared to academic aptitude and organizational experience. This suggests that the productivity head-starts of practicumers are not that easy to overcome. Practicum should be highly recommended. Also the results indicate that after ample work experience and exposure, leadership capabilities, as derived from one's history of holding key positions in college organizations, become a very active influence on one's performance at work and hence, productivity and salary.Item Restricted Why give? determinants of UP school of economics alumni giving(2005-01) Saldivar, Xenia Lou A.; Quianzon, Mary Angeli L.; Carlos, FedelinaThis study investigates the propensity of university alumni to contribute to their alma mater. A logit model was fitted to the survey response data from 1969/70-2000/01 alumni of the University of the Philippines School of Economics. The probability of giving was found to be positively significant in relation to the School keeping in touch with the graduates, and negatively related to alumni with family who graduated from the University and alumni who received honors upon graduation. The logit estimates were then used to predict the likelihood of giving which can be expected to assist in making more efficient fund-raising decisions.Item Restricted Analysis of occupational choice: a case of economics graduates(1987-01) Yu, Joel C.Item Restricted Facial attractiveness and its relation to initial income: a study of UP School of Economics graduates, batch 1991-1995(1996-10) Ongtauco, Joyleen Vivienne; Uson, Celeste Joy; Tecson, Gwendolyn R.
