Item Restricted Sources and uses of income in five Philippine private universities, 1956-1965(1968-09-24) Eugenio, Priscila M.; Sicat, Gerardo P.Item Restricted The income and decision function of workers in the informal sector(2014-12) Narcisco, Francine A.; Rivera, Rita Angela M.; Carlos, Fidelina N.As many workers continue to enter the informal sector there is a need to study the characteristics of informal sectors and their decision to engage in entrepreneurial activities despite economic growth. Using the FIES, the paper attempts to determine the effects of specific factors on income determination and the probability of a household to engage in the informal sector. Results have shown that households residing in regions other than the NCR have a higher probability to engage in entrepreneurial activities and urban areas have a bigger probability to have higher incomes. All sectors except have higher incomes and lower probability to engage in entrepreneurial activities compared to the agricultural sector. Furthermore, heads with more years of schooling, especially those who finished college, have higher incomes and are unlikely to engage in entrepreneurial activities, a result that is consistent with Schultz' hypothesis.Item Restricted Philippine consumption dynamics: an empirical study of the life-cycle profiles of household consumption and its broad components(2013-03) Juani, Angeli Grace; Alipio, Ma. Hannah Lara; Kraft, Aleli D.This paper examines the validity of the life-cycle hypothesis in the Philippine context primarily through a decomposition analysis of the age and cohort effects on consumption and its broad components. To control for the changes in household composition, it likewise employs the use of square root equivalence scale. Although hardly conclusive, findings reject many predictions of the basic life-cycle hypothesis and yet at the same time show sparse traces of patterns adhering to the said hypothesis. From these findings, the paper therefore questions the altogether rejection of the life-cycle hypothesis on the basis of Keynesian conjecture that consumption simply tracks income in the country. Henceforth the study calls for more robust research work on the topic, suggesting the use of conditioning variables and alternative equivalence scales in the analysis to account for the demographic effects. With regard to government policies, this study asserts that temporary income taxes might not be effective in stimulating or reducing demand in the economy. Steps to ease liquidity constraints and to encourage better handling of expenditures and savings must likewise be considered to be put into action.Item Restricted Income determinants of the development banking system(1981-03-13) Alvarez, Joseny V.; Antonio, Grace B.; Canlas, DanteItem Restricted Income of males and females(1981-03) Envarga, Diana Lourdes L.; Swann, Ma.
