Abstract
This issue presents studies on economic growth, industrial development, and banking in the Philippines. One paper examines postwar economic growth within a comparative ASEAN framework, assessing its impact on structural change, income distribution, and savings. Another discusses the New International Economic Order in the Asia-Pacific, emphasizing the benefits of regionalism for developing nations. Two papers highlight the need for improved economic and industrial statistics. One calls for an integrated approach to trade and industry data collection amid ongoing industrial restructuring, while another assesses the Philippine industrial statistics system, identifying key weaknesses and advocating for a major overhaul. A study on oil and geothermal drilling develops a formula for estimating costs based on critical parameters, while a banking study investigates the classification of bank inputs and outputs, providing insights into the financial sector’s operational efficiency. Finally, an analysis of the 1979 Diary Family Income and Expenditure Survey evaluates its reliability and suggests improvements for better data collection.
