    The incidence of the Philippine social security*contribution* in the manufacturing sector
    (2002-10) Tagle, Ma. Winona Gerarda C.; Vitales, Graciel Joy P.
    This undergraduate thesis aims to determine how the incidence of the Philippine Social Security System contribution can be determined, focusing especially on the manufacturing sector. The model was patterned after a 1985 working paper by Gerard Hughes, (Payroll Tax Incidence, The Direct Tax Burden and the Rate of Return on State Pension Contributions in Ireland, The Economic and Social Research Institute, Dublin). Aggregate data was used in the empirical mode~ most of it taken from the Philippine Statistical Yearbook and Labor Statistics Yearbook. Results show that there is a slight shifting of the burden by way of a slower rate of increase in the monthly hourly wage with respect to the employer payroll tax contribution.

    The link between class of worker and sectoral output
    (2003-10) Estepa, Eriane Gae R.; Mallabo, Grace Marie Angeli T.; Kraft, Aleli
    With the Philippines as the empirical setting, this paper examines the relationship between the employment by class of worker and sectoral output. The study used time- series and cross-sectional quarterly data from various labor statistics covering the years 1992-2002. The findings of this study reveal that wage and salary workers respond positively to an increase in industry and services output, but react negatively to an increase in agriculture output. On the other hand, own-account workers display a positive relationship with the value-added in agriculture and services but a negative relationship with the value-added in the industry sector. Lastly, the behavior of unpaid family workers is inversely proportional to output in the industry and services sectors. Linking employment and gross value-added by industry allows us to examine the likely future structure of the economy, and assess the potential implications for planning and economic policy.

    Employment effects of changes in real minimum wage in the Philippines: 1994-2001
    (2006-01) Cruz, Krystel S.; Remigio, Aileen Jade T.
    The minimum wage legislation in the Philippines has undergone several amendments since the establishment of R.A. No. 602 in 1951. To account for regional differences attached to the centralized system of minimum wage fixing, RA 6727 or the Wage Rationalization Act was enacted in June 1989 and legislated the determination and minimum wage setting using a regional perspective. This paper aims to determine the effects of growth in real minimum wages on aggregate employment growth, by industry (agricultural and non-agricultural) and by region. The basic factor demand-supply theory is followed to examine the relevance of minimum wages here in the Philippines. Other variables included in this study are growth in GRDP and in the proportion of Wage and salary workers to the labor force. Employment by class of workers is also analyzed to explore the effects of minimum wage both on the covered and uncovered sectors of the economy. The statistical results revealed a negative relationship between changes in minimum wages and employment growth, with a greater impact on the non-agricultural sector.

    Is there a marriage premium for professional athletes? a case study of the Philippine basketball association
    (2009-01) Antonio, Tracee Joy N.; Lagac, Joyce Marie P.
    Using data on professional basketball players from the Philippine Basketball Association, this research provides evidence regarding the marital pay premiums earned by basketball players. Cross-sectional estimates suggest that married players receive a 22% higher salary as compared to never married players. Our findings provide support to the marriage premium literature where married men receive significantly higher wages than never married men. irrespective of the variables included in the model. Using the fixed- effects approach, our findings suggest that it might be the case that more productive and high-earning basketball players are being selected into marriage. However, it doesn't account for the entire observed premium found among married basketball players. In addition, we found little evidence to suggest that the marriage premium is a consequence of specialization. Finally. we used Oaxaca's decomposition model to test the discrimination hypothesis. Based on our estimation, we found substantial evidence that almost 52% of the differential is attributed to discrimination. Computing for the actual discrimination coefficient, we obtained a 0.44 discrimination between married and single players.
