Database Formation Of Labor Profiles In Upskilling And Reskilling Programs To Prepare The Philippine Labor Force For The 4ir, Breanna Michaela S. Alaras, Malakai Rei F. Feliciano, Salian Idhanth, Abijah Kathryn B. Sta Ana
Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies (AKI)
The policy focuses on data management of opportunities for upskilling/reskilling and the profile management of individual laborers’ professional information to effectively integrate the influence of technology on day-to-day life (Schwab, 2016). Laborers that register onto the platform will be matched with programs that can help them meet demands that emerged due to the evolution of their job description. The registration is done to make workers capable of integrating new technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) into their workflow. Reskilling and upskilling can evolve operators of the past into “smart operators” that can work with augmented reality, virtual reality, and …

From Tasks To Riches: A Task-Based Approach To The Determinants Of Wages, Brian Daguman, Samantha Victoria Abordo Baradas, Aileen Abigail D. Co, Martha Louise Delos Santos
Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies (AKI)
In most written literature on labor, wages are determined by labor market supply and demand factors. With this, what a person can control to increase their wages is to focus on their skill endowments, particularly honing skills. These skills this paper will be focusing on are those occupational-specific, which pertains to the tasks and activities that a worker does in their job. That being said, it is important for an average worker to improve their skills through human capital (i.e., internships and on-the-job training) identified in this study as cognitive-interactive, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), and computational skills are found …

DLSU Business & Economics Review
Mutual funds are one of the most suitable investment alternatives for common investors. Mutual funds are affordable, professionally managed, transparent, and at the same time, offer a wide gamut of schemes to invest in. They can generate superior returns and, at the same time, reduce risk through the diversification of the portfolio. Out of various schemes offered by mutual funds, equity funds are quite popular among investors because of their ability to generate higher returns. They not only generate higher returns but also sometimes beat the market. As the portfolio of equity-based mutual funds consists of equity shares, the movement …

Impulse Buying And Financial Literacy Among Public Elementary And High School Teachers In The Philippines, Melvin A. Jabar, Ma. Luisa C. Delayco
Impulse Buying And Financial Literacy Among Public Elementary And High School Teachers In The Philippines, Melvin A. Jabar, Ma. Luisa C. Delayco
DLSU Business & Economics Review
This paper primarily interrogates the assumption that financial literacy essentially decreases impulse buying. However, this may not necessarily be the case, given that individuals navigate in different social contexts. Teachers in the Philippines are stereotypically perceived as heavy financial borrowers due to their limited income. Given their quick access to private financial loan companies, it is worthy to investigate if teachers also engage in impulse buying. The first goal of this paper is to describe the financial literacy of public-school teachers. Second, it examines the relationship between financial literacy and impulse buying. In this paper, financial literacy is operationalized in …
Bitcoin, Intrinsic Value, And Herd Effect, Angel Enrique Chico-Frias
Bitcoin, Intrinsic Value, And Herd Effect, Angel Enrique Chico-Frias
DLSU Business & Economics Review
The intrinsic value of a good may be related to its production costs, so its price will never be less than this. Bitcoin prices can have behaviors similar to those existing in nature. The research aims to find similar behaviors between herds in the animal world and Bitcoin prices. Besides, the study analyzes the cost of production to determine if it is the intrinsic value of this cryptocurrency. Three scenarios in Bitcoin prices in the Momentum indicator were studied.

Delta-Normal Value At Risk Using Exponential Duration With Convexity For Measuring Government Bond Risk, Di Asih I Maruddani, Abdurakhman Abdurakhman
Delta-Normal Value At Risk Using Exponential Duration With Convexity For Measuring Government Bond Risk, Di Asih I Maruddani, Abdurakhman Abdurakhman
DLSU Business & Economics Review
A bond is simply a debt that promises to repay the money with interest in the future. An issuer must pay the coupon regularly and repay the face value at the maturity date. Therefore, a bond is called fixed-income security. However, as with any investment, there is always some risk involved. Two significant bond risk investments are interest rate risk and credit risk. In this paper, we want to measure interest risk, which affects bond price movements. Exponential duration with convexity (EDC) will be applied to predict an accurate estimation of bond price caused by the interest rate change. Delta-normal …

The Effect Of Risk Management Committee On Audit Fees: Malaysian Evidence, Masturah Malik, Rohami Shafie
DLSU Business & Economics Review
The global financial crises that have occurred in the past have caused a growing number of firms to establish a risk management committee (RMC) at their board level. By adopting 208 nonfinancial listed firms in Bursa Malaysia for the year end 2014, our study explores whether the establishment of an RMC and its attributes (having independent members, experts and female members) affect the audit fees charged towards the firms. Apart from the demand perspective of an audit, the study reports that independent members of the RMC are associated with higher audit fees. The result is derived from the basis that …

Investigating The Effect Of Price Of Rubber Fluctuations On Stock Prices And Exchange Rates In Malaysia, Seuk Wai Phoong, Seuk Yen Phoong
DLSU Business & Economics Review
This paper examines the relationship between the stock price and nominal exchange rate in Malaysia to ascertain the significance of using rubber price as a correction mechanism. The Johansen cointegration test was employed to investigate the effects of linear combination and the relationships among the components in a multiple time series. A two-regime, intercept- adjusted Markov switching vector error correction model was also used to examine the parameters concerned. Rubber price is used as a correction mechanism. Because rubber is one of Malaysia’s main exports, using rubber price as a correction mechanism may affect the country’s economy. The results of …

Investigating The Role Of Financial Sanctions In Utility Function And Their Impact On Household Behavior, Hamid Reza Izadi
DLSU Business & Economics Review
This research aims to present a DSGE model that can investigate the effect of utility changes due to the financial sanctions imposed on the dominant economy by defining different utility functions for households. The link between the real economy and financial markets stems from the countries’ need for external finance to engage in investment opportunities in each country. Each and every economy often needs foreign funding; however, restrictions can limit the access of the given country to international financial markets. The existence of a crisis in international financial markets such as international sanctions can aggravate the adverse shocks and their …

Towards Establishment Of A Payment For Ecosystem Services (Pes) In Protected Areas: The Case Of Mounts Banahaw And San Cristobal In Quezon Province, Philippines1, Luisito Abueg, Julie Carl P. Ureta, Arlene B. Inocencio
DLSU Business & Economics Review
This paper examines the potential of establishing payments for ecosystem services in the Mounts Banahaw and San Cristobal Protected Landscape. The findings show that this process entails more than just determining the willingness to pay of those who are benefiting from the ecosystem services. It also requires the buy-in of potential sellers. More important is clearly defining the product, that is, what the buyers will be paying for and what the sellers will be providing, so that the ecosystem service will be sustained. In addition, identification of some third parties to mediate between buyers and sellers and to serve as …

Reinforcing The Role Of Intellectual Property In The Battle Against The Pandemic: The Vowel Framework, Daniel S. Hofilena
DLSU Business & Economics Review
The intellectual property (IP) system plays a vital role in public health crises as everyone should have access to medicines and equipment to protect themselves. Thus, the State can utilize the system for the greater good. An IP-centric approach can be summarized using the simple letters of the vowels: Awareness – for the populace to respect IP rights, they must first be educated as to its value; Enforcement – for infringers to be discouraged, IP holders should have an avenue for the easy enforcement of their rights; Incentivize – for businesses to be encouraged to invest in certain forms of …

DLSU Business & Economics Review
The audit is performed to give assurance to the public that financial statements are fairly presented. Accurate issuances of audit opinions show how compliant firms are to auditing standards. Receiving an unfavorable audit opinion will signal firms to improve internal control. Given this, it is important for the top management to assess the factors that can lead to misrepresentation of financial statements and result in adverse opinions. The same principle can be applied to government units and offices. With this in mind, the study was performed to investigate the influences of qualitative and quantitative factors on audit opinions received by …

Mutual Fund Fees Under An Oligopolistic Distribution Channel: Evidence From Korea, Kang Baek, Young S. Park
Mutual Fund Fees Under An Oligopolistic Distribution Channel: Evidence From Korea, Kang Baek, Young S. Park
DLSU Business & Economics Review
This study analyzes whether, under oligopolistic distribution channels, mutual fund fees are primarily determined by a distribution company’s transaction-specific variables. The results empirically demonstrate that the intensity of market competition influences determinants. Through analyses at the firm level, this study demonstrates that the characteristics of an oligopolistic structure, and particularly the financial segments and scales of fund distributors, are important determinants of mutual fund fees during a collusive period. It finds that subsequent to the enforcement of pro-competitive policies, fees become more sensitive to market discipline and distributors’ transactional characteristics, particularly to sales concentration.

Fraud And Error Misstatements And Auditor Liability: The Moderating Role Of The Evaluator’S Auditing Knowledge, Thanyawee Pratoomsuwan, Orapan Yolrabil
DLSU Business & Economics Review
Although a restatement is usually assumed to result from fraudulent behavior, Plumlee and Yohn (2010) studied whether a restatement might be attributed to both errors in the corporation’s internal controls and intentional misrepresentation. Moreover, prior research supports the notion that investors, regulators, boards, and other stockholders differentiate between fraud and error (Hennes et al., 2008). This study provides a preliminary understanding of how undetected fraud and error misstatements affect auditor liability, given the same outcome severity. A 2x2 between-subject experiment was conducted using undergraduate accounting students to represent evaluators who have high levels of auditing knowledge and nonaccounting students to …
