The effects on the trade balance of the monetary policy variable, government consumption, private consumption and growth rate as compared to the rest of the world are also taken into account. Government consumption and growth rate differential are insignificant in explaining the level of the trade balance. Private consumption decreases the trade balance more than any variable in the model. The monetary variable measured by the level of high-powered money and depreciation are empirically tested to have a positive effect on the trade balance. The positive relation of depreciation on the trade balance is minimal.Item Restricted The effects of political crisis on the foreign exchange rate: the Philippine case(2001-03) Cabading, Ryan D.; Gomez, Odesa R.; Miranda, Casimiro V. Jr.Item Restricted Determinants of bank interest margins and financial liberalization: the Philippine case(2002-10) Alamil, Stella Marie Lakindanum; Pascua, Anne Imelda CaringalThis paper lends a useful framework in explaining the bank interest margins in the Philippine Banking System in the context of the financial liberalization enacted in 1994. Using quarterly financial statements of commercial banks in the years 1995-2001, the paper identifies that the level of non-performing loans, foreign concentration, overhead costs, taxation and inflation are significant determinants of bank spreads. The study also provides empirical evidence that liberalization had a considerable impact in lowering the bank margins, but only to a certain extent. Real competition failed to materialize because of the observed complementary relationship of the local and foreign banks.Item Restricted The role of expanded commercial banking in domestic credit(1987-02) Mandal, Ma.
