Item Restricted Peso depreciation: impact on trade balance(2001-03) Barrera, Imee Marie E.; Vicedo, Veronica V.This study attempts to determine the effect and measure the impact of depreciation on the trade balance. 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.

The positive relation of depreciation on the trade balance is minimal.Item Restricted Effects of the peso depreciation on selected Philippine export industries(2001-01) Pulumbarit, Maria Josefina P.; Leyes, Natalya; Miranda, Casimiro V.The paper focuses on the effects of the depreciation of the Philippine Peso on the country's selected export industries, mainly in the manufacturing sector.
