Population Growth And Trade Policies In The Philippines: A General Equilibrium Analysis, Luz C. Stenberg
Population Growth And Trade Policies In The Philippines: A General Equilibrium Analysis, Luz C. Stenberg
Business Papers and Journal Articles
The paper attempts to show using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) framework the relative effects of population growth and trade policies on economic growth, employment and deforestation in the Philippines. A static CGE model based on ORANI with an appended sub-forestry model is employed in the analysis. The results show that (domestic) population per se would not significantly increase deforestation. Whilst, export taxes are ineffective tools in reducing deforestation, trade liberalisation policies are beneficial to the economy as a whole.
Analysing The Causes Of Deforestation In A Cge Framework: The Case Of The Philippines, Luz C. Stenberg, Mahinda Siriwardana
Analysing The Causes Of Deforestation In A Cge Framework: The Case Of The Philippines, Luz C. Stenberg, Mahinda Siriwardana
Business Papers and Journal Articles
A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is developed to evaluate some of the causes of deforestation in the Philippines. To quantify deforestation effects, the elasticities of various parameters of deforestation as identified in the literature are evaluated. The main conclusion derived is that the factors that have a relatively more direct influence on the level of harvest such as annual allowable cut would have a greater effect on deforestation rate than population growth and off-farm employment opportunities.

Measuring Value Creation In A Virtual Enterprise, Peter Gall, Janice Burn
Business Papers and Journal Articles
This paper reviews the literature in relation to virtual organisations and e-readiness. From this, the authors develop an instrument to measure the readiness of the organisation to embrace the concepts of virtual work and collaboration. The instrument is applied in an aspiring virtual enterprise to identify the extent to which they are ready to create value through a virtual organising model.
