Abstract

Over the years, countries from Southeast Asia have MSME sectors that play a vital role in economic development of the region. Governments have their own strategies on how to deal with their economies, through fiscal policies, that serve the best interest of the condition of their states and citizens. As MSMEs in the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam continues to contribute employment of the vast majority of their populations, this study examines the effects of the fiscal spending of the aforementioned countries to their MSMEs and the relationship of the increase in number of MSMEs to aggregate national economic outputs. By using panel regression analysis, this paper aims to prove that fiscal policies, as measured using annual government expenditures data, together with household consumption, and MSME employment as supporting variables, would positively affect MSME growth, leading to a favorable outcome to GDP growth. This led to this paper providing insights that government expenditure and HFCE have positive significant relationship to the number of MSMEs in the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, while MSME employment is negatively significant to it. With the rise of MSMEs in the selected countries, the PLS and RE results concluded that GDP growth of these countries can be influenced by their MSME growth. The outcome of this study could help policymakers and institutions to formulate sound government measures and recommendations to ensure that opportunities provided by the MSME in their economies are maximized.

Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship of income and economic growth toward the savings of Filipino households over the business cycles. Savings has been studied to have various determinants. Thus, the researchers of this study were urged to provide empirical evidence in this topic within the economic context of the Philippines. The study would like to establish the conventional income-savings relationship and prove the causal relationship of economic growth to savings, both of which will be observed through a business cycle to understand the behavior of saving better. The researchers used Panel Data Regression analysis to find the significant predictors among the variables. It was found that the highest income range positively affects savings, and interest rates negatively affect it. Moreover, CAR was proven to have the highest average savings among other regions in the Philippines. However, it is only averaged compared to ARMM regarding Regional GDP. With this, the study provides policymakers with a better outlook on what factors they should focus on to boost savings and consequently improve investment and further economic growth.

Abstract

Previous studies have revealed that marital status and gender roles affect the totality of labor force. Societal norms that have been existing from hundreds of years ago are still prevalent nowadays. Unequal treatments are still present and mostly the disadvantage are females. This research tackles whether gender (male and female) would have an effect or has a relationship with the number of hours worked by people in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. It further discusses the reason behind whether it affects or doesn’t affect the number of hours worked. Data from Philippine Statistics Authority from 1991 to 2020 is used as a basis and reference data to test whether gender affects the number of hours worked in those regions. Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao is used due to the reason that it is Philippine’s three major islands which is composed of several provinces and regions. Ordinary Least Squares is used to test whether there is a significant relationship between said variables and upon testing, in which resulted that there is no significant relationship.

Abstract

Electronic nicotine-containing electronic apportioning frameworks, commonly known as electronic cigarettes, have been predominantly considered a less damaging elective to standard cigarette smoking. E-industries have rapidly expanded, utilizing intense advancing messages comparable to those used to progress cigarettes in decades. Moreover, e-cigarettes are more engaging than conventional cigarettes for various reasons: tallying the choice of distinctive flavors, ease of availability, and utilization and effect of media. In accordance with this, the implication of sin tax towards e-cigarettes is to define sin tax as exacted on particular merchandise and administrations when purchasing the goods or products. These things get the extract assessment due to their capacity, or discernment, to be destructive or expensive to society. The study aims to determine the effect of the sin tax on e-cigarette consumption in Quezon City. The descriptive-quantitative will be imposed in the study as it involves data collection that is relevant to answering the concern of the subject of the study. The researchers will use a snowball sampling technique to reach the target sample size of 385. This method relies on recommendations from individuals with a specific interest characteristic with the target population. Identifying relevant literature will lead to the development of a self-made questionnaire. Thus, a pilot study will be conducted among 30 UST students to show the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Using statistical software, a priori power analysis will be used to find the effect size given alpha. Moreover, the researchers will comply with the data privacy act law of 2013 and will ensure the commentary of the university's ethics and research review committee.
