Item Restricted Tax Incentives and Its effects on capital accumulation on the different Philippine businesses and sectors(2017-12-21) Cueto, Charles Benedict R. ; Ruiz, Lorenzo Evan A.; Reside, Renato Jr. E.Tax Incentives are ideally created to foster capital formation which would typically lead to an economic growth. This research aims to see whether or not the provision of taxes would affect the formation of capital in the economy. There are sectors who have been given tax incentives, as a form of investment, and those who have not. The criteria of the provision of tax incentives is discussed in the study through the related literature. With the information we have collected from the Philippine Statistics Authority, ASPBI 2010, we isolated variables that may be useful in our research. By using econometric tools, we have gathered results that prove certain variables to be insignificant and some that are significant. With the results reported, we hope to help pave way to further research as we recommend finding missing variables that we think would further deepen our study. This small-scale research could hopefully be useful in the government sector, so that allocation of tax incentives will make Capital formation of investments more efficient and would maximize economic growth.Item Restricted The impact of the number of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) on the annual regional GDP per capita in Philippine regions(2018-12) Garcia, Jaymich B. ; Lobo, Kevin Michael Y. ; Mendoza, Maria Nimfa F.Several studies have shown that the presence of higher education institutions (HEIs) affects economic growth through the production of human capital, innovation and the quality of education being offered. Although being fourth (4th ) in the world in terms of countries with most number of HEIs, the Philippines displayed a slower, stunted economic growth throughout the years. The purpose of this study is to assess and identify the specific contribution of the number of HEIs to the growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in the Philippine regions. Separate economic models are estimated by the researchers to evaluate both short and long run effects of HEIs to GDP per capita of Philippine regions. The study is limited from the year 2009 - 2017 due to data limitations. The pooled ordinary least squares model and the fixed effect model showed that having an additional HEI per region can increase annual real GDP per capita by .3% in the short-run while decreasing real GDP per capita by .2% in the long-run. Also, result shows that as one additional center of development or center of excellence (codcoe) translates to an annual 1.84% increase in real GDP per capita in a region. This further explains that quality as measured by the number of cod and coe per region affects GDP per capita more significantly than quantity of HEIs itself.Item Restricted Impact of early motherhood to the mother and child(2018-06-01) Gregorio, Camille Anne T.; Ramoso, Joleena Louise J. ; Jandoc, Karl Robert L.The consistently high trend of teenage and young adult pregnancies in the Philippines is a critical issue on national development. This paper seeks to test the effect of early motherhood to womenās empowerment and child health. Using data from the National Demographic and Health Survey, logistic regression is employed to examine the individual effects of age at first birth and total number of children before 25 years old to the womanās employment, bargaining power and experience of intimate partner violence, while an OLS regression is conducted to test the effects on child immunization. The general findings reveal that lower age at first birth and higher number of children before 25 years old have negative impacts to the womenās empowerment and child health.Item Restricted The effect of income inequality on the incidence of index crime: a study on the Philippine setting(2019) Chu, Lawrence Niccolo G.; Valdez, Vincente Mari Hilario V.; Pajaron, Marjorie C.The goal of this paper is to revisit the impact of income inequality on the index crime rate at the provincial level of the Philippines by utilizing panel data. Given the change in method of nationwide crime reports in 2009, our analyses exploit data specifically from the Human Development Report (HDR) and the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), containing the Gini Coefficient and crime statistics for the 81 local provinces over the period of 2006 and 2009. We mainly used and compared three econometric methods to determine the relationship of the Gini Coefficient and index crime rate ā ordinary least squares (OLS), Fixed Effects (FE), and Random Effects (RE). By utilizing the Hausman Specification Test, the Random Effects model proved to be more accurate than the Fixed Effects model. After controlling for the variables of education, population density, poverty, unemployment, and real income, the results suggest that a 1-point increment in the Gini Coefficient may lead to an increase of 4 instance of index crime per 100,000 population. Other variables that were found to be significant are the mean years of schooling and the population density.Item Restricted Remittances, financial sector development and growth: the Philippine case(2014-12-17) Go, Stefanie Ann B.; Hilario, Celina Marie S.J.; Ducanes, Geoffrey M.; Daway-Ducanes, Sarah Lynne S.Remittances play an important role in the Philippine economy, with remittances as one of its major sources of capital inflows. The macroeconomic impact of remittances in the country is thus undeniable, and must be further looked into. Previous findings on the impact of remittances on growth have been inconclusive or either negative, and so have been its relationship with financial sector development. An empirical analysis of the relationship of remittances, financial sector development and growth will be conducted, with the hypothesis that remittances significantly impact growth indirectly when coursed through the financial sector. This will be done through analysis of data from 1983 to 2013 on the annual level and from 2002 to 2013 on the quarterly level through ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and two stage least squares regression to correct for endogeniety problems. Moreover, a vector auto regression analysis will also be employed to provide further evidence. Findings show that the story of remittances in the Philippines took a shift possibly after 1998. We find that remittances have an indirect effect on growth in the short run, in that it is coursed through the financial sector. On the annual, however, remittances have a direct effect on growth and the said effect depends on the level of financial sector development. Continuous efforts by the government, financial institutions and households must be made to further encourage savings and investments to maximize the potential of capital inflows, for these efforts would not be in vain, especially in the Philippines.Item Restricted Capital imports and the Philippine balance of payments(1969-03-21) Beltran, Luz S.; Sicat, Gerardo P.Item Restricted How the investment incentives act seeks to promote exports(1969-01) Calma, Rebecca B.; Sicat, Gerardo P.Item Restricted An analysis of the Philippine housing situation(1981-03-18) Barles, Marissa V.; Duran, Ma.
