    A study of wage and employment relationships in the manufacturing, mining, and quarrying and private services sector in the Philippines
    (2008-04) Baltazar, Sally P.; Fernandez, Linda Mae A.; Diokno, Benjamin
    The study aims to test the relationship between the prevailing compensation basket and the factors that affect labor demand and supply in the Philippine manufacturing, mining and quarrying and private service sectors. The index of compensation and the average real wage, number of employed persons and gross value added to GDP of the selected non-agricultural sectors are the variables used in regression. Also the compensation index and the employment index will be examined to determine the inverse association of the computed compensation employment ratios of the three industries. The study also tests whether the value wages has appreciated so as to sufficiently compensate each worker's necessities. Wages will be quoted in real terms and will be compared to the consumer price index. Finally, the increase or decrease in importance of several professions dominantly employed under the three sectors will also be taken into account to determine the demand trend of highly skilled workers. The data range used in the study covers years from 1981-2006.

    An analysis of build-operate-transfer contracts in the Philippines: a transaction cost economics perspective
    (2008-03) Garcia, Florente Mario B. Jr.; Tiu, Michael Thomas S.; Clarete, Ramon
    Despite being among the pioneers in private sector participation in public infrastructure projects in the world, the Philippines faces the challenge of reviving investor appetite in build operate transfer (BOT) projects in the country. Given its dire need for public funds to finance infrastructure facilities, the Philippines persistently needs to attract private sector investments in infrastructure projects. Proposed amendments to the country's BOT law such as House Bill 5002 seek to contribute to a resurgence of such private sector investments. But these fall short of addressing the underlying weaknesses in the current BOT law. Until these amendments take into account the lack of adaptation capabilities, BOT contracts will tend to benefit only one party to the transaction and would be unstable. This study applies transaction cost economics to the analysis of BOT projects. It calls for improving the design of BOT contracts by incorporating provisions for the partnership to adapt to disclosed but unexpected information or events which have important bearing on the agreement.
