    Impact of the metro rail transit 3 (MRT-3) on commercial land value
    (2006-10) Calalang, Michael Louis E.; Torres, Florian Cecil A.; Tan, Edita
    Transit-oriented development (TOD) has gained favor as a means of reducing traffic congestion, promoting affordable housing, and curbing sprawl- issues that have attracted much of urban planners' and private developers' attention. It suggests that the growth of the urban structure, in most part, should rely on public transit and should induce shifts in land-use leading to more compact and denser activities near stations. The study tries to observe whether rail transit station benefits vary along with the levels of activity within the area. It examines commercial zones distributed among the thirteen Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3) stations, within distances ranging from 0 to 1000-meters. Commercial zones within 500-meters from an MRT station have higher land values than those beyond 500-meters. Further analyses using hedonic price models and econometric methods confirm the significance of the proximity to an MRT station to commercial land values. MRT stations benefit a number of destinations that can be reached from the MRT but at different rates depending on an area's density and centrality. Areas belonging to subcenters were able to capture the station benefits more compared to the high-density areas such as the central business district.

    The impact of transport system on income: an economic-geographic approach
    (2009-10) Agustin, Miriam B.; Gutierrez, Terrylou M.; Arcenas, Agustin L.
    Due to the increasing public transportation facilities in our country, interests in studying the interrelations of these road networks to growth and development potential, and economic activities have become extensive for the past years. This paper reviews and discusses the impact of municipal/city distance from nearest NLEX exit point on municipal/city income, and uses instrumental variables to establish causality. The review includes approaches based on the transport system interface and one of the common geography theories. The fields of Economics and Geography are employed to view the over-all impact of road networks and municipality structure on income. In the Philippines, one of its outstanding road transport systems is the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX). The economic model derives the criticality of the proximity of the NLEX to any municipality/city using concepts from welfare economics and geography. To derive approximate insights into assessing critical components, a model based on economic geography is developed. This model describes the effect of distance on spatial interactions, considering the importance of transport system. The authors conclude that proximity to a transport system is significantly related to locality income.

    Welfare and employment security: the case of PUJ and AUV drivers
    (2009-03) Costo, Joanne Kristine S.; Isagan, Ma. Tria Salve R.; Pernia, Ernesto M.
    The emergence of the public utility jeepney (PUJ) and Asian utility vehicle (AUV) sectors in urban and urbanizing areas in the Philippines has responded to the commuters' need for readily available, inexpensive, accessible, and almost door-to-door public transport service. The boundary system evolved as a solution to uncertainty problems surrounding the PUJ and AUV sectors such as asymmetric information, adverse selection, moral hazard and principal-agent problem. It also serves as a form of employment security for the driver-renters. Using the ordinary least squares regression method, variables, denoting work effort, have significant positive effects on the driver's welfare. The dependency ratio, driver type and vehicle ownership status also have significant effects. The other variables hypothesized to affect the welfare of the driver did not turn out as significant.

    The impact of metro rail transit (MRT-3) on residential land value
    (2009-03) Castillo, Jane Kenneth E.; Lasco, Hannah Rochelle V.; Desierto, Desiree
    Urban land economics tells us that increased accessibility has positive effects on land value. In this paper, the Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT-3) along EDSA is used to see if this theory is applicable in the Philippine setting. The study will try to determine if parcels of residential land within a 500-meter radius of a MRT-3 station will have higher values compared to the parcels outside the 500-meter radius but within the 1 000-meter radius. Through OLS regression, the present land values of the parcels of residential land observed is regressed on the distance of the residential land to the MRT-3 and on the past land values. Past land values were used to proxy for all the determinants affecting the present land values. The percent change in the present land values is also regressed on distance and past land values to prove if the rates of increase in the land values of the parcels within the 500-meter radius are also higher. Findings reveal that the land values of the residential parcels of land nearer the stations are higher and have higher rates of increase.

    Efficiency in the implementation of the construction of the light rail transit project
