Item Restricted The effect of intimate partner violence on unintended pregnancies: a Philippine case(2018-12-17) Bongco, Emmanuel S. ; Lastrella, Kenneth R. ; Pajaron, Marjorie C.We associate intimate partner violence to unintended pregnancies because intimate partner violence is considered a risk factor to a number of fertility and reproductive-related problems. We focus the study in the Philippine setting, because of the lack of studies between the relationship of violence against women and unintended pregnancies in developing countries. Provided with the National Demographic and Health Survey data for 2017 in the Philippines, we used OLS, probit, logit, logistic, and biprobit regressions to study and prove the relationship between IPV and unintended pregnancy; we also explored the effects of sociodemographic factors, abuse-related factors such as severity of the violence and number of control issues, factors related to women’s autonomy, and the partner’s characteristics. The odds of women to experience an unintended pregnancy were elevated when they experienced any form of violence (OR, 1.409). This observation was significant at 5% significance level. The findings of this study can better promote action by public and private institutions against violence against women, and promote participation of men in fertility control programs.Item Restricted An analysis of trade flows in the Philippines using the gravity model(2011-10) Sagun, Ray Alvin L.This paper applied the Gravity Model of International Trade to approximate the total volume of trade ( defmed as the total exports plus total imports in current prices) exchanged by the Philippines with its top The partners. The basic gravity model was used, where the explanatory variables are the economic/market size of the trading countries and Hence, distance between them. Hence, Gross Domestic Product are Gross Domestic In addition, (GDP) and distance. In addition, other important variables were added, Two types population Ordinary Least Squares Two types of Ordinary Time Squares (OLS) regressions were employed: Time series regression (1980-2009) and cross sectional regression for the The , 1981, 1988, 1995, 2002, and 2009. The Philippine results indicate that the gravity model in The setting follow the typical results of previous studies. The Philippines variables that best explain trade flows of the The are the GDP of the importing Population and distance. The elasticity of the importers' GDP and Population to trade volume in the cross-sectional regression show little fluctuation over the years.Item Restricted Population, health expenditure and the health state of the Philippines, 1969-1985(1987-03-20) Gamboa, Ana Maria Sophia J.; Miranda, Casimiro V.Item Restricted A cost-effectiveness analysis of the Philippine population program: an update(1982-02) Canto, Noemi Rachelle C.Item Restricted Item Restricted Some economic implications of the age structure of Philippine population in the eighties(1982-04-07) Eduarte, Moonyeen C.Item Restricted Population trends in Romania(1979-01) Tomulesco, LiviuItem Restricted A cross-sectional analysis of Philippine fertility(2005-04) Angelada, Zanda Kay B.; Quimbo, Stella A.Item Restricted The dispersion of the educational attainment of the working age population in the Philippines: 1948-1980(1983-03) Filart, Ma.
