Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The standard trade-theoretic Stolper-Samuelson-Rybczynski model is used in an attempt to explain movements of real wages in the Philippines. In view of the factor intensities in the Philippines, commodities are aggregated into two composite goods, traded and non-traded. The relative price, or real exchange rate, of these goods is shown to have been an important determinant, with changes in relative factor supplies of less importance in determining real wages. A conventional two-sector model is set out, which distinguishes between the short- and long-run effects in terms of the quasi-fixity of sector specific capital. A simple regression model is estimated and seems to provide a fairly good explanation of what has hitherto appeared to be a puzzling feature of post-war Philippines economic performance: high growth rates of output and employment accompanied by declining real wages, in turn being associated with a rising incidence of poverty, in at least two periods. The final section of the paper briefly outlines the sources of the movements in the real exchange rate, leading to these real wage movements, and draws some tentative conclusions for economic policy.

Download or read book Agrarian Reform in the Philippines written by Jeffrey M. Riedinger and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates the capacity of new democratic regimes to promote redistributive agrarian reform, an issue of contemporary concern in countries throughout the world. Agrarian reform is particularly complex and difficult for new democracies because it curtails the power and privileges of influential elements of society. The author analyzes the problems attendant on political liberalization and social and economic reform by examining in detail the formulation and implementation of agrarian reform in the Philippines under the governments of Corazon Aquino and her successor, Fidel Ramos. The book explores how the interaction between state and society shapes reform policy decisions, paying close attention to the role of cultural variables and social organizations. It shows that what is needed for successful agrarian reform is a combination of sustained, forceful leadership from a disciplined, reform-oriented political party and grassroots agitation by peasant organizations.
