The Five-Year Research Program

The DLSU-AKI research team has built a five-year research program focused on the "Development of the Philippine economy". The objective of this program is to outline a feasible path for the economy, and understand the major binding constraints. The team believes that the future of the Philippine economy lies in (i) expediting the transition of labor from agriculture into industry and services; (ii) increasing the sophistication of the Philipin export basket; and (iii) increasing the organizational capabilities of Filipino firms to increase productivity.

The research is supported by three programs: macroeconomics, structural transformation, and micro and evidence-based policy.

​MACROECONOMICS
The focus of the program is the development of a large annual macroeconometric model of the Philippine economy for forecasting and simulation. This program also aims at estimating the potential growth of the economy and understanding growth constraints, from the supply and demand sides. ​

STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATION
The program aims at understanding how the output and employment structures of the Philippine economy are changing, and how firms are linked to global value chains. This program also looks into the sectors that could generate employment in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

MICRO AND EVIDENCE-BASED POLICY
The program's objective is to have an in-depth understanding of the links between agriculture, poverty and employment. Specific areas are:
Agriculture: -Commodity price monitoring -Modernization of the Philippine Agriculture

Poverty: -Accelerating poverty reduction -Food and nutrition security -Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)

Labor and Gender Education: -Gender equality in the workplace -Full and productive employment -Decent workplace -Skills mismatch ​
