DLSU and NWPC Collaborate to Advance General Equilibrium Modeling for Regional Wage Policy Analysis
On June 4-5, 2026, the De La Salle University-Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies (DLSU-AKI), in collaboration with the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC), held a two-day Capacity-Building Training on the Regional Wage Model (RWM).
This joint initiative gathered personnel from NWPC and the RTWPB Secretariats to strengthen their capacity in wage policy analysis using Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modeling. The training featured hands-on exercises on simulation techniques and the interpretation of model results to support evidence-based policy decision-making.
Through the activity, participants enhanced their skills in assessing the potential impacts of minimum wage adjustments on key economic indicators at both the national and regional levels.
The training was facilitated by Dr. Marites Tiongco, Dr. Justin Eloriaga, Ms. Jem Marie Nario, and Mr. Mc Reynald II Banderlipe. Their expertise and practical guidance enriched the discussions and learning experience. The training modules were based on the CGE Regional Wage Model developed by Dr. Caesar Cororaton.
