Abstract

This quantitative study examines the constraints in the primary production of bananas in Davao Region, Philippines. Various studies and climate projections by PAGASA proved the existence of climate change. Climatic variables (i.e. average temperature, rainfall amount, and relative humidity), Panama disease occurrence, and government support dataset are derived from government agencies from 1990-2019. Multiple regression analysis and other statistical tests are used. Most studies imply that there is a negative relationship between banana production to climate variables and panama disease but a positive relationship to government support. Results of this study show that climate variable indicators display a negative significant relationship on the volume of banana production which adheres to past studies while Panama disease and government support indicate an insignificant relationship which contradicts other studies. This study is therefore intended to impart practical knowledge to help farmers to be prepared for the adverse risks of climate change on their crops. It is also expected that this provides policy recommendations for the government to arrive at appropriate policies based upon ground realities.

Abstract

Romer’s endogenous growth theory highlighted the importance of intentional actions and efforts made by firms to cultivate a culture of innovation and ideas and its eventual effects on economic growth. This study aims to measure whether there is a positive relationship between innovation using Urbanization (URB), research and development (R&D), and human capital (HC) oneconomic growth. Innovation will be represented by the URB rate per percentage in total population, research and development (R&D), and HC will be assessed using its GlobalInnovation Index ratings. Economic growth will be measured using the Log of Gross Domestic Product (LGDP) per capita. This study will utilize a panel data regression, Pooled Ordinary LeastSquare analysis, to determine the relationship in the selected Association of Southeast Asian Nations countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam) between the years 2013-2020. Results show that URB and HC significantly impact LGDP per capita, while R&D is insignificant. The insignificance found in this study can be explained by the fact that the countries selected aredeveloping countries and that it would take time for R&D to impact their economic growth. Despite the insignificant impact of R&D activities, they should still be actively promoted in these countries, as it will gradually increase the level of innovation with time as explained in the long-run increasing returns of scale and the endogenous growth theory, thus proves Romer’s theory is present in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam.
