A General Equilibrium Model for Philippine Agricultural Policy Analysis

This article has been presented at the Workshop on Methods for Agricultural Policy Analysis held at the UP Los Baños on August 13-14, 1985. It outlines the features of the computable general equilibrium developed by the author and describes the modifications undertaken to fit the model into agricultural policy analysis. This is in the hope of addressing limitations of the original model.computable general equilibrium (CGE), agriculture sector, econometric modeling

An Ethnographic Evaluation of Local Residents’ Perceptions of Tourism in the PreTourism Phase: The Case of Burdeos, Philippines

There were many studies done on local residents’ perception on tourism but only few scholars have embarked on an ethnographic study exploring local residents’ perception from a pre-tourism development phase. Most of the past studies focused on resident’s perception towards tourism impact and attitude towards expansion of tourism development (Mason & Cheyne, 2000; Harill, 2004; Lepp, 2008). The present study explores and reports on local residents’ perceptions prior to the beginning of tourism in an island community in the Philippines. Focusing on how the local people understand tourism within the context of pretourism development, the paper draws up a basic framework in which tourism planning and development should be anchored

Equity and Efficiency Tradeoffs in Philippine Tax Reforms

This study presents tax policymakers with a menu of alternative tax structures for the Philippines which will yield the best combinations of efficiency and equity achievable for a given target level of a government revenue. Analysis indicates that even after the reforms of 1977 and 1981, there are still a number of areas for improvement in the Philippine tax system.tax structure, tax measures, efficiency issues, taxation
