Abstract
This issue explores key economic themes, from household savings behavior to macroeconomic policies and industry evaluations, offering insights into financial stability, trade policies, and agricultural development. A study on Philippine household savings estimates marginal saving rates across rural and urban households, income groups, and regions. Another article employs the Box-Jenkins ARIMA technique to forecast the Philippine money multiplier, providing implications for monetary policy. Export promotion policies are revisited considering East Asian success stories, with a first-best recommendation to overhaul the country’s protection structure. Meanwhile, a theoretical model is introduced to analyze the Philippines’ balance of payments crises and devaluation experiences, evaluating the costs and effectiveness of devaluation as a policy tool. This volume also presents an evaluation of the coconut industry, the country’s most significant crop.
