A nonparametric approach to understanding poverty in the Philippines
Determining the poverty threshold using a meaningful measure is complex. In this study, we deviated from usual techniques. Instead, we employed a nonparametric approach in conducting a comparative analysis. Using the Philippine Family Income and Expenditure Survey, we estimated national and regional Epanechnikov kernel densities to understand how poverty evolved from 2000 to 2015. Results indicated that improvements in Philippine poverty incidenc…
Estimating Gini Coefficient and FGT Indices in the Philippines Using the Family Income and Expenditure Survey
Rooted from unequal and inequitable income distribution, poverty is the struggle of households in lower income distribution to access basic necessities. Using the Philippine Family Income and Expenditure Survey micro data from 2000-2015, we draw Lorenz curves for each year and estimated national and regional Gini coefficients. Our data also allowed us to obtain the Foster–Greer–Thorbecke poverty and inequality indices. Thus, we captured changes i…
Investigating the link between remittances and inflation
From a macroeconomic perspective, scholarly literature has established that remittances are inflationary because they fuel higher consumer spending through increased income. However, from the perspective of household decision-making, remittances can taper consumption variations and soften inflationary pressures. In this study, we probe whether rising inflation in remittance-recipient economies triggers the sending of remittances. In evaluating th…

Teacher educators must prepare teachers by (a) inspiring them with experiences of schools and classrooms where the achievement gap is disappearing, (b) preparing them to use curriculum standards and assessments, as well as multiple pedagogical and learning theories and strategies, (c) equipping them to work closely with families and co…
