This paper addresses the question: What factors are associated with, or influence, a partnered male’s participation in paid employment over his lifetime? Analyses in this paper are restricted to males who are aged 25 to 64 and have a partner. Of particular interest is whether a non-intact...

Utilizing the Annual Survey of Establishments from 1978 to 1987, this paper makes an econometric estimation of the production parameters for the Philippine manufacturing and services sectors. The value added functions are then estimated using the translog cost functions and normalized quadratic...

What has not been explored in the traditional measures of poverty is the extensive set of categorical variables that indicate standard of living and are already available from existing survey data. What precluded researchers from deriving poverty and welfare gauges from these data is the...

Mainly due to the dearth of available data, this article empirically illustrates that the practice of using household expenditures/incomes in assessing aggregate poverty tends to its overestimation. In the absence of reliable equivalence estimates, household size should be normalized to improve...

In this work the P* model is used to analyze and forecast the inflation rate in the economy of Puerto Rico. This model is based on two essential points: the first one is to identify the inflationary potential of an economic system through the estimation of the price level to which the inflation...

This chapter discusses simulation estimation methods that overcome the computational intractability of classical estimation of limited dependent variable models with flexible correlation structures in the unobservable stochastic terms. These difficulties arise because of the need to evaluate...

To forecast the Philippine money multiplier, this article utilizes Box-Jenkins Technique that suggests the use of simple autoregressive intermediate moving average (ARIMA) process. Estimation results are discussed in reference to its implications in the future forecast of money multiplier.
