    Interregional disparities in labor productivity and poverty
    (2012-10) Arceo, Ronald Gerald M.; Marcelo, Mark Micko G.; Pernia, Ernesto M.
    The Philippine government, both local and national, prioritizes road investments in its development plans. However, issues facing the quality and efficiency of roads throughout the country cannot be ignored. Roads are critical in fostering economic development throughout the country. Previous studies have shown a direct positive connection between good roads and higher productivity. This means that roads, which ease mobility and network connectivity; enable the economy to grow and prosper. This study looks deeper into the role of roads in facilitating productivity and poverty reduction throughout the regions.

    The role of technical vocational education and training in enhancing labor productivity
    (2011-11-07) Claridad, Roland Allan Q.; Uytiepo, Jed Ernest M.; Pernia, Ernesto M.
    The Technical/Vocational Education and Training (TVET) program aims to improve labor productivity. It offers special training courses that increase the students' skills set~ aligning these skills to match the demands of the labor market.With proper implementation, this program has the potential to address the country's unemployment problem by creating a globally competitive workforce which will be employable here and abroad. This study shows that TVET training generally increases income and employment. Although these increases are smaller than college graduates, they are already comparable with college dropouts. With the low cost of TVET and the short and flexible nature of the program, the study suggests that vocational education can be substituted for college education especially for the poor who cannot access, much less,finish college.

    The efficient measurement of white-collar labor productivity in selected government banks
    (1988-09) David, David; Maipid, Mary Rose
    The present study explores the relatively untrampled area of the measurement of the productivity of the white-collar labor force. It is the goal of this study to describe the existing formulae of labor productivity measures and indexes for the white-collar or services sector, specifically the government banking sector. The study also makes recommendations on the generation of a white-collar labor productivity measure that incorporate contributory factors to albor input and productivity.

    Does ICT contribute to labor productivity? an industry-level analysis of the relationship between ICT investments and labor productivity in the Philippines
    (2019-12) Cruz, Karisha Anne E.
    This paper investigates the relationship between ICT hardware and software investments, and labor productivity using a panel data of Philippine industry groups in 2010 to 2015. The study employs random effects models to analyze the panel data. To account for possible sample selection bias, the study uses a Heckman two-step estimator of the full model. Additionally, this paper measures the differentiating effect of ICT when considering industry-specific characteristics (i.e., average firm age, employment size, education, foreign capital participation, corporations, and export-oriented). The findings suggest that industries are more likely to increase labor productivity by investing in ICT software and database systems. The results further provide evidence of the differentiating effect of ICT investments by various industry-specific characteristics. Employment size and share of foreign ownership strengthen the effect of ICT hardware on productivity. Meanwhile, age and share of exporting firms negatively influence the effect of ICT software and hardware, respectively. Both ICT hardware and software investments have no differentiating effect by share of high school workers and share of corporations.
