The analysis of micro impacts of macroeconomic adjustment policies (MIMAP) has been extended to the environment and natural resources sectors. This research is devoted for the review of the different macroeconomic models and microeconomic valuation methods in the analysis of the sector. In...

While previous studies utilizing P* indicates that the model is better applicable with large countries, the paper argues that the Philippine case should include a foreign gap price. Further work should also focus on estimating more appropriate values of Q* and V*.

The development of PIDS-NEDA Macroeconometric Model is a joint effort by both institutions to come up with a model that government economic planners could use in arriving at annual and medium-term economic forecasts or targets. This paper is a summary of the complete version of 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...
