Motivating Questions How does a slowdown in U.S. or a U.S. debt
default affect PH economy, directly & indirectly via effects on EU, China, Japan, ASEAN?
■ How does a debt crisis in EU, or China slowdown, affect U.S., China, Japan, ASEAN, and PH directly & indirectly?
■ What has greater impact on PH, shocks from the U.S., EU, China, Japan, ASEAN, or its own shocks?
■ What are the ripple effects of the shocks to Philippine GDP, unemployment, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, etc.?

Research Interests Economic & financial linkages PH with
ASEAN, U.S., EU, China, Japan, & those economies’ linkages with each other
■ Transmission of shocks from U.S., E.U., Japan, and China to ASEAN, & PH
■ Quantifying the ripple effects to ASEAN & AMSs’ GDP growth, inflation, interest rates, exchange rate, & unemployment
■ Implications for policy and macroeconomic management

Research Methodology, 1 Traditional PH models (equation-by-equation OLS,
ECM)NEDA QMMPIDSAteneo (AMFM), others
Simultaneity bias, exogeneity issueEstimates are biased and inconsistentIncreasing sample cannot cure bias in estimates
Lucas (1976) critiqueCoefficient estimates are not policy invariantLucas: conclusions and policy advice based on
these models are invalid and misleading

Research Methodology, 2 Post Lucas critique. Now standard: modern,
dynamic quantitative economics Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE
models)Global projection models
Utilizes state of the art: Bayesian methods This work: global projection model to analyze
interplay of key macroeconomic variables across countries/regionsU.S., E.U., Japan, China, ASEAN, PHGDP growth, inflation, interest rates, exchange rate,
unemployment
![Page 8: A Global Macroeconomic Forecasting Model for the Philippines](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166d5550346895ddaea87/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Designed to capture cross-regions and cross-country macroeconomic linkages (e.g., US, EU, Japan, China, ASEAN, AMS)
Traces cross-border ripple effects of key macroeconomic variables (GDP growth, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, unemployment)
Bayesian estimation techniquesPriors plus Bayesian updating via Kalman filter;
Markov Chain Monte Carlo

Bayesian Estimation Mixture between classical estimation and
calibration of macro models Puts some weight on the priors and some
weight on the data Combine prior and MLE estimation via
Kalman filter Recover posterior distribution via MCMC

Estimation Strategy Start with GPM4 (US, EU, Japan, China);
estimate coefficients■ Proceed with GPM5 (US, EU, Japan, China +
ASEAN), fixing coefficient for GPM4. Assumes ASEAN doesn’t change GPM4 coefficients
■ Then proceed with GPM6 (US, EU, Japan, China, ASEAN + Philippines), mutatis mutandis
■ 250,000 MH draws each stage; first 30% used as burn-in

Findings and Conclusions, 2 This work: cross-region ripple effects to key
macro variables (GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, etc.) traced via GPM
Greatest influence on ASEAN macroeconomic variables come from ASEAN’s own internal shocks; followed by shocks from U.S., China, Japan, then Euro area, in that orderASEAN own AD shocks’ impact on ASEAN
GDP, 0.4 ppt; US AD impact (peaks after 5 or 6 quarters), about 1/7 of ASEAN impact; China AD shock, about 1/9 ASEAN’s; Japan, 1/10; EU, 1/11

Findings and Conclusions, 3 For AMS like PH, domestic shocks also capture
much of the influence on own macroeconomic variables. In the case of PH, this is followed by shocks from the U.S., Japan and China, then ASEAN and Euro area.PH AD shock’s impact to PH GDP, about 0.5
percent; US shock’s impact (peaks after about 5 or 6 quarters), about 1/7 of PH shock’s impact; Japan and China, about 1/10; ASEAN and EU, about 1/17.

Findings and Conclusions, 4■ Impulse responses of PH macro variables Shock to domestic AD results in 0.5% increase on
PH real GDP on impact; positive impact persists for more than 2 years
Results in decrease in umeployment (lasts for ~ 3 years before returning to steady state)
Demand pull increase in inflation Appreciation in currency BSP increase policy rates via Taylor-type reaction
