Since the 1980s, the Philippines has adapted market transformations which reared open-market activities with foreign entities in the international stage. The existing literature pertaining to trade liberalization suggests that the trade reforms the Philippines has acclimatized to, in general, incubated economic growth. However, this targets to extend the study on the matter and highlight other potential benefits from trade integration aside from increase in competition and improvement in productive capacity. With the reduction in import taxes and abolition of trade barriers, mobility of factors of production becomes more and more fluid between and across countries. Aside from the usual exchange of products and other tangibles through market transactions, the easing of permeability also allowed for externalities such as knowledge spillovers to cross the threshold. This paper focuses particularly in the manufacturing sector of the Philippines since it accounts for a substantial portion of the technical and scientific information collection of our country. Technology gap in this paper is contrasted with Singapore. Through OLS and Instrumental Variable Estimation, this paper intend to measure the effects of trade liberalization to international technology diffusion-- to what extent does an increase or decrease in trade barriers (import tariffs, for instance) affect the transfer of technological knowledge from a foreign country to a local country? Results of the regression analysis reveal evidences which support the narrowing effect of trade integration to technology gap though the channels of technology diffusion.Item Restricted Infrastracture, trade facilitation and logistics: a study of its effects on the direction of Philippine expoerts(2011-10) Eleazar, Nadine Victoria Mendoza; Narciso, Michael Joseph de Mesa; Desierto, Desiree A.Affirming several studies on the impact of logistics quality and trade facilitation on exports, our model suggests that the logistics quality of Philippines' Philippines' partner-country has an effect on the level of exports to It country.

Philippines, for the Philippines, an archipelago country, how does our partner's How affect our exports? How does it shape our Using OLS regression, our partners? Using OLS regression, we factor in the effects of logistics together with the economic size of the partner-country measured by their GDP Manila distance in nautical miles from Manila to their Using to help explain our country's exports. Using the modified gravity equation Logistics Performance Scores an improvement in the partner-country's Logistics Performance Our to determine its effects on export levels. Our findings show that improvements in logistics and trade facilitation in our country Finally, also boost our exports as suggested by many studies. Finally, we provided key insights and salient points regarding policy implications to conclude our study.Item Restricted How the investment incentives act seeks to promote exports(1969-01) Calma, Rebecca B.; Sicat, Gerardo P.Item Restricted Effects of the tariff preferences covered under the Laurel-Langley agreement on our leading exports(1969-01) Enriquez, Emmanuel T.; Sicat, Gerardo P.Item Restricted Philippine exports to Japan: an examination(1981-11) Baustista, Benito S.; Reyes, Johnny P.Item Restricted Analysis of selected Philippine exports to the United States (1969-1977)(1982-10) Garcia, Jocelyn A.; Jurado, GonzaloItem Restricted Effect of US tariff reduction on Philippine garment exports(1979-05-29) Gomez, Guia S.; Tecson, Gwendolyn; Canlas, Dante B.Item Restricted The significance of the proposed incentive of tax credit on net local content to the top three non-traditional manufactured exports(1983-03-21) Hernando, Jean Agnes P.; Santos, Roderick Ben C.; Herrin, AlejandroItem Restricted Employment effects of garment exports(1981-01) Martinez, Anabeth F.
