Why do Filipinos desire to work more hours?

Jesus Felipe, Yasuyuki Sawada, Gemma Estrada, Donna Faye Bajaro

Asian‐Pacific Economic Literature > 34 > 2 > 106 - 132

In 2018, 16.4 per cent of Filipino workers stated that they wanted to have more work hours in their present jobs, to have an additional job, or to have a new job with longer work hours, that is, they declared themselves under‐employed. Analysis of the 2015 Labor Force Survey data shows that relative to being full‐time employed and not under‐employed, the major determinant of being under‐employed is...

Seroprevalence of spotted fever group rickettsiae in canines along the United States–Mexico border

Emily G. Pieracci, Juan Diego Perez De La Rosa, Daniel Luna Rubio, Mario Eduardo Solis Perales, more

Zoonoses and Public Health > 66 > 8 > 918 - 926

Portions of northern Mexico are experiencing a re‐emergence of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), a tickborne disease caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a member of the spotted fever group of rickettsiae (SFGR). Infection with R. rickettsii can result in serious and life‐threatening illness in people and dogs. Canine seroprevalence has been used as a sentinel for human RMSF in previous studies. This...

Rocky Mountain spotted fever in Mexico: past, present, and future

Gerardo Álvarez-Hernández, Jesús Felipe González Roldán, Néstor Saúl Hernández Milan, R Ryan Lash, more

The Lancet Infectious Diseases > 2017 > 17 > 6 > e189-e196

Rocky Mountain spotted fever, a tick-borne zoonosis caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, is among the most lethal of all infectious diseases in the Americas. In Mexico, the disease was first described during the early 1940s by scientists who carefully documented specific environmental determinants responsible for devastating outbreaks in several communities in the states of Sinaloa, Sonora, Durango, and...

Deindustrialization? A global perspective

Jesus Felipe, Aashish Mehta

Economics Letters > 2016 > 149 > C > 148-151

Recent studies show that, within countries, manufacturing labor productivity growth has outstripped aggregate labor productivity growth, putting significant downwards pressure on national manufacturing employment shares. We compile the first (nearly) global database of national manufacturing employment and output levels over time, and use it to document two facts seemingly at odds with these results:...

The declining share of agricultural employment in China: How fast?

Jesus Felipe, Connie Bayudan-Dacuycuy, Matteo Lanzafame

Structural Change and Economic Dynamics > 2016 > 37 > C > 127-137

Between 1962 and 2013, China's agricultural employment share declined from 82% to 31%. The transfer of workers out of low-productivity agriculture is a fundamental pillar of China's aspirations to progress and eventually become a high-income economy. We hypothesize that the drivers of this decline have been the increase in income per capita, industrial value added, foreign direct investment and domestic...

How rich countries became rich and why poor countries remain poor: It's the economic structure…duh!

Jesus Felipe, Utsav Kumar, Arnelyn Abdon

Japan & The World Economy > 2014 > 29 > Complete > 46-58

Becoming a rich country requires being able to produce and export commodities that embody certain characteristics. We classify 779 commodities (exported) according to two dimensions: (1) sophistication (measured by the income content of the products exported) and (2) connectivity to other products (measured by how easy it is to ‘jump’ into other potential exports). We identify 88 “good” products (highly...

Exports, capabilities, and industrial policy in India

Jesus Felipe, Utsav Kumar, Arnelyn Abdon

Journal of Comparative Economics > 2013 > 41 > 3 > 939-956

An extensive literature argues that India’s manufacturing sector has underperformed, and that the country has failed to industrialize; in particular, it has failed to take advantage of its labor–abundant comparative advantage. India’s manufacturing sector is smaller as a share of GDP than that of East Asian countries, even after controlling for GDP per capita. Hence, its contribution to overall GDP...

Where have All the Educated Workers Gone? Services and Wage Inequality in Three Asian Economies

Aashish Mehta, Jesus Felipe, Pilipinas Quising, Shiela Camingue

Metroeconomica > 64 > 3 > 466 - 497

The wage returns to college have risen relative to those to secondary education in many developing economies. In India, the Philippines and Thailand, this is related to the expansion of services employment. We show this using decompositions connecting shifts in the returns to education to changing job opportunities. High‐skill services employment grew slowly while relative demand in the sector shifted...

Product complexity and economic development

Jesus Felipe, Utsav Kumar, Arnelyn Abdon, Marife Bacate

Structural Change and Economic Dynamics > 2012 > 23 > 1 > 36-68

Development is a process of transforming a country's economic structure towards the production and export of more complex products. We use Hidalgo and Hausmann's (2009) method of reflections to compute measures of product and country complexity, and rank 5107 products and 124 countries. We find that: (i) the most complex products are in machinery, chemicals, and metals, while the least complex products...

Using capabilities to project growth, 2010–2030

Jesus Felipe, Utsav Kumar, Arnelyn Abdon

Journal of The Japanese and International Economies > 2012 > 26 > 1 > 153-166

We forecast average annual GDP growth for 147 countries for 2010–2030. We use a cross-country regression model where the long-run fundamentals are determined by the countries’ accumulated capabilities and the capacity to undergo structural transformation.

Overeducation in developing economies: How can we test for it, and what does it mean?

Aashish Mehta, Jesus Felipe, Pilipinas Quising, Sheila Camingue

Economics of Education Review > 2011 > 30 > 6 > 1334-1347

A worker is said to be overeducated if he/she has acquired more education than is required to perform his/her job. In the absence of data measuring the number of years of schooling required to perform particular jobs, we propose a new approach to testing for overeducation. Overeducation is confirmed if we observe that education levels rose in jobs that offer very low returns to education and that...

The Diverging Patterns of Profitability, Investment and Growth of China and India During 1980–2003

Jesus Felipe, Editha Laviña, Emma Xiaoqin Fan

World Development > 2008 > 36 > 5 > 741-774

This paper documents the diverging patterns of capital accumulation, profit rates, investment rates, capital productivity, and technological progress of China and India between 1980 and 2003. The two Asian economies have followed very different growth patterns and, today, they face different challenges. India’s is how to accelerate growth, while China’s policy makers debate between the need to maintain...

On capacity planning for the GMPLS network control plane

Daniel Morató, Javier Aracil, Juan Pedro Fernández-Palacios, Óscar González Dios, more

Photonic Network Communications > 2008 > 15 > 2 > 159-169

This article presents capacity planning rules for the control plane of all-optical networks featuring GMPLS and RSVP-TE as a connection setup protocol. As per RSVP standard, a refresh message mechanism is incorporated to RSVP such that the state is periodically refreshed on a link per link basis. We provide analytical expressions for the bandwidth and buffer sizes to be provided such that no flows...

Biased Technical Change, Growth Accounting, and the Conundrum of the East Asian Miracle

Jesus Felipe, J.S.L. McCombie

Journal of Comparative Economics > 2001 > 29 > 3 > 542-565

The standard neoclassical growth accounting approach suggests that much, if not all, of the fast growth rates of the East Asian Tigers, was input driven. R. R. Nelson and H. Pack (Econ. J.109, 457:416–436, July 1999) have pointed out that these estimates may be subject to substantial errors caused by the presence of biased technical change and an elasticity of substitution that is less than 1. This...

Wan's “New Approach” to Technical Change: A Comment

Jesus Felipe, J.S.L. McCombie

Journal of Comparative Economics > 1999 > 27 > 2 > 355-363

This paper questions Wan's (1995, J. Comp. Econom. 21, 3:308–325) proposal for a new assumption-free measure of total factor productivity growth. Wan's measure follows directly as an algebraic transformation of the national income accounting identity, according to which value added equals the wage bill plus profits, and thus there is no reason it should be interpreted as a measure of technical change...
