MPIA-12236 Global Economic Crisis and the Philippine Economy: A Quantitative Assessment

Abstract

The Philippines like most developing economies was not spared from the 2009 global economic contraction. In spite of limited exposure to US assets, the country suffered a dramatic slowdown in economic growth arising mainly from international trade and labor flow channels. Using a general equilibrium model linked to a micro-simulation module, this paper analyzes the impact on gender and poverty of the 2009 global crisis on the Philippine economy. The analysis carefully traces the transmission channels from the macro-economic to the microeconomic level: from gross domestic product to output and factor supplies and demands; from commodity and factor prices to employment and household incomes to levels of poverty and income distribution.
