| Description |
This study aims to assess the impact of rising prices of rice and fuel on poverty in thePhilippines. In particular, the variations in the potential effects among different group ofhouseholds were analyzed using household level data. Results of the study confirm that theimpact of increasing prices of rice and fuel vary across different groups of households dependingon the sector of employment, level of urbanity, income group and geographical location. In fact,there are losers and gainers from the recent increases in the prices of rice and fuel. In responseto higher prices, households adopted different coping mechanisms, some of which are damagingand counter-productive in the medium- and long-run.Keywords: Poverty; community-based monitoring system; impact analysis; prices; rice; fuel;coping mechanisms; pass-through rates; net benefit ratioDOI: 10.3860/ber.v20i1.1669DLSU Business & Economics Review 20.1 (2010), pp. 65-98
