Abstract

This paper explored the relationship of rural-urban migration to the total agricultural output in the Philippines. The researchers wanted to know if there is a relationship between the independent variables: rural-urban migration, average agricultural wage, number of employed people in agriculture, and inflation rate, and the dependent variable, which is agricultural output, and how these explanatory variables affect the dependent variable. Data used are from the years 1988 - 2018. The researchers used a quantitative research design and multiple regression to find out the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The findings of the study answer the purpose of this paper. It has been found that the relationship between rural-urban migration and the total agricultural output of the Philippines has a negative relationship. Other results showed that the number of people employed in agriculture and average agricultural wage have a positive effect on the country’s total agricultural output while inflation rate has a negative effect. Creating more opportunities for people living in rural areas and strengthening the institutional and governance in the agricultural sector can not only lessen the internal migration but also improve the country’s economy.

Abstract

The efficiency of the dairy industry in the Philippines is determined by the sector’s productivity in relation to investments, imports, and exports that it is making. The use of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in this paper is to examine the connection between the dependent variable and independent variables. More so, this research aims to evaluate the efficiency of the dairy industry along with the objective of assessing the impact that investments, imports, and exports have. Quarterly data from 2006 to 2017 helps to obtain results and use for further interpretation using regression analysis. The study shows that investments, imports, and exports do affect the productivity of the dairy industry in the Philippines. It leads to rejecting the null hypothesis in this paper. The research findings may address these issues by giving attention to exports and investments mainly to machineries and other technologies that contribute to dairy operations. The researchers also recommend that to be able to improve productivity, investments, imports, and exports of the dairy industry, the government should provide more funding and assistance to dairy farmers.

Abstract

Bitcoin is an open-sourced, decentralized system, despite its intangible characteristic, it is the most prominent digital currency developed by an unknown programmer famously known as Nakamoto in 2008. The aim of this paper is to render evidence whether Bitcoin is a secured platform for investing despite its volatile behavior by verifying whether the Market Capitalization, Trade Volume, Exchange Rate (USD) are critical determinants of Bitcoin price. The research makes use of secondary data from coindesk.com to gather results using Multiple Linear Regression and the Ordinary Least Squares in analyzing the relationship between the variables. Market Capitalization fails to reject the null hypothesis. Trade Volume and Exchange Rate (USD) are variations that can explain 93.87% of Bitcoin price. The results gathered shows that Bitcoin prices are highly volatile because of the volatility of the Independent Variables. Bitcoin as a means of investment is not a viable option of investment for its sudden volatility of high-high risk with a high-high return or loss.

Abstract

The city of Tagaytay is a tourist destination that is mainly reliant on its agricultural center. As the area's commercialization grows, agricultural lands continue to decline, making agriculture's preservation increasingly challenging. Hydroponic farming is an optimal soilless cultivation method that can be presented as an alternative solution for this. This study conducted a cost-benefit analysis of an existing hydroponic farm in Tagaytay. Hydroponic farming does not require the same amount of arable land as traditional farming. Water usage is significantly less but the energy requirements may be higher though it is a more sustainable method in the long run. The findings of this study justified the feasibility of adopting hydroponic farming in the city of Tagaytay through examining the regional implications of the project as well as its environmental and social externalities.

Abstract

There have been numerous studies conducted towards explaining the relationship of military expenditure to economic growth, investment, and unemployment, but no conclusive verdict can be made due to varying outcomes. To contribute to this field of study, the researchers are using the OLS and Cochrane-Orcutt model to determine the linear effect of military expenditure on the dependent variables. The sample countries will be classified according to their level of military spending and income group to examine a possible existence of a trend. The regression results show that the classification of countries has no bearing with regards to the impact of military spending on economic growth, investment, and unemployment, rather, the impact is dependent on the specific situation of each country. Moreover, as past studies implied a transitive attribute towards the relationship of the variables, this study produces a modified assumption that if economic growth is negative, it does not mean that investment and employment will be negative for they may be insignificant, it means that if either or both of the variables are significant, they will follow the same relationship of military expenditure and economic growth. Keywords: military expenditure, economic growth, investment, unemployment
