Abstract
This issue presents empirical studies on economic policies, household welfare, and market dynamics in the Philippines and beyond. One paper examines the political and demographic factors shaping attitudes toward trade liberalization in the Philippines, revealing that gender, economic class, and urban residency negatively correlate with pro-trade views. Another study explores the link between family size and poverty, analyzing how the number of children influences labor force participation and earnings using a nationally representative dataset. The issue also investigates the secondhand clothing market in Baguio City, assessing consumer demand and the economic impact of regulations restricting the import and sale of used garments. Another article analyzes shifts in living standards among Vietnamese households, introducing advanced statistical techniques to identify key predictors of consumption changes. These studies contribute to a deeper understanding of economic behavior, policymaking, and market responses, offering insights relevant to both scholars and policymakers.
