Item Restricted The Korean wave and its implications on creative economies(2023-06-28) Borlongan, Rica Jane B.; Buenaventura, Erin Hannah S.; Alburo, Florian A.From its origin in the 1990s, the Korean Wave or Hallyu has brought about an outstanding impact on South Korea’s economy, especially with regard to its creative exports. Korean pop music and Korean dramas, in particular, have played a significant role in attracting the global population to consume more of their content. As a result of Hallyu’s massive reach and influence, the country has become one of the major players in the creative industry. The paper examines creative policies enacted by the South Korean government to determine how the wave evolved. The researchers also try to determine the potential for replicability of the Korean Wave for other countries, most especially Asian developing countries. History of the Korean Wave was analyzed using the endogenous growth theory and it was discovered that although the countries for comparison all had policies for the purpose of strengthening the creative economy, none of them mirrors or displays the same intensity as the creative industry policies from South Korea. They compared the countries according to their respective creative exports and endogenous growth factors of education, human capital, innovation, and technology. While developed countries understandably showed the closest measures to South Korea, among developing countries it was Malaysia that displayed the highest scoring indicators. It was determined that even if countries could follow the steps taken by the creative giant, it is difficult to determine whether or not they would emulate the soft power South Korea holds.Item Restricted Kape tayo: the revealed comparative advantage of selected Filipino coffee in the global market(2022-06) Galaura, Allen Grace F.; Samson, Eija Patricia C.; Alburo, Florian A.Coffee has long been part of the Philippine socio-cultural landscape and inter-country trade. However, the Department of Trade and Industry has reported that the coffee industry has been experiencing a significant decline in its production level affecting both exports and local supply. This paper hypothesizes that selected Philippine coffee variants still have the potential to be competitive in the global market. Their competitiveness could be measured through computing the Balassa Revealed Comparative Advantage (BRCA) and using regression analysis to know which factors contribute to their variations overtime. The results of the Balassa RCA were lower than one, showing that the selected Philippine coffee exports do not have revealed comparative advantage. According to the regression results, the potential to gain comparative advantage lies within the Philippine coffee exports, particularly in 090111 (Coffee; not roasted or decaffeinated) and 090112 (Coffee; decaffeinated, not roasted) coffee variants. The results of the models reinforce each other indicating that directing policies towards the productivity of these exports over time can positively affect how the local coffee sector becomes competitive in the global market.Item Restricted Selected non-traditional exports and exchange rates(1993-03) Casipe, Maribel C.; Colon, Lily Grace M.; Fabella, Raul V.
