Abstract

This study investigated the effect of increasing population on economic growth. It highlights the Qur'anic injunctions as well as prophetic traditions pointing to the benefits of population growth and supports them with empirical findings using the Philippines settings as a case in point, it made use of econometrics data analysis using Augmented Dickey-Fuller test, the Johansen Cointegration, Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), Granger causality to analyze the time series data of the Philippine population from 1978 to 2020 as well as the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from the same time frame as a proxy for economic growth of the Philippines. The result shows that with F-statistic = 4.26 and a p-value of 0.01, being p < 0.05 alpha level, it means that the null hypothesis that population does not Granger Cause GDP is rejected. On the contrary, with F-statistic = 0.49 and a p-value of 0.68, it suggested that the null hypothesis that GDP does not Granger Cause population is accepted. This study concludes that increasing population is associated with an increase in the size of the economy. In contrast, an in the economy does not lead to population growth in the country.

Abstract

This paper investigated the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the performance of Islamic banks in the Philippines. It used the quarterly data before and during the pandemic. To empirically measure its impact on the Islamic bank in the country, this study used significant different tests to ascertain differences in the financial performance of the bank starting from the 1st quarter to the 4th quarter of 2019 used as a proxy for pre-pandemic variable and the 1st to 4th quarter of 2020 which was during the heights of the pandemic as data that represents the duration of the crisis. The result shows that the overall bank size during the pandemic was reduced by 2.08% while changes in return on deposits and return on equity before and during the pandemic were not statistically significant. However, there was enough evidence to show that Islamic deposits, return on assets, and net income, were significantly positively affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Test for significant difference further ascertained that the decrease in capital adequacy ratio during the pandemic was found statistically significant. It suggested that Islamic banking in the Philippines fared differently compared to its conventional counterparts in the country.
