Methodology (2/3 BC + 1/3 NEG)
Binding Constraints. Growth diagnostics - a framework for discerning policy priorities and their desired sequence - is based on three considerations: First, increasing econ. growth rates is the key challenge that developing nations face. Second, an identical growth strategy for all countries, regardless of their
circumstances, is not likely to prove productive. Third, to provide governments with a long, unprioritized list of reforms is not helpful.
This study identifies binding constraints on economic activity, and hence a set of policy levers, which - once targeted on these constraints - is likely to have the greatest impact.
New Economic Geography. Economic activity is concentrated. Across the world, the unevenness of growth between and within countries reflects
market forces associated with economies of scale and movements of goods and factors, as well as competing political interests.
While economic concentration is usually desirable for economic growth, the large spatial disparities in welfare levels that often accompany this agglomeration are not.
This study proposes how the inevitable economic concentration should managed, to exploit the gains from agglomeration while ensuring that individual well-being does not depend excessively on location.
The puzzle: In an open and growing economy, why does investment decline?
The Filipino economy:
is open to trade and capital inflows; and since 2002, growth has averaged 5.3 percent
Over the last 15 years, however, domestic investment:
has been stagnant in real terms; and consistently declining as a share of GDP

2. Investment is not a driver of current growth
In the Philippines, investment does not grow at the pace of GDP. Three reasons explain this puzzle:
a. The public sector cannot afford it ;
b. The capital-intensive private sector does not want to expand that fast ; and
c. The non-capital-intensive private sector does not need to invest.
2a. The public sector cannot invest
Constrained by serious fiscal pressures, due to:
decades of weak revenue performance; a weighty debt service; and a high cost of inputs
it cannot keep public investment growing at GDP growth rates.
2b. The capital-intensive private sector does not want to invest
It does not find it convenient to expand investment at the economy’s fast pace, as it expects little returns.
The marginal product of capital (MPK) is low, because: i) the public sector does not invest enough to provide incentives for
private investment; and
ii) inputs are expensive because of élite-capture in the traditional sectors of the economy (agriculture, sea and air transport, power, cement, mining, banking, etc).
Controlled by the local élite, the conglomerates use political connections to drive potential investors out, discourage smaller firms to grow bigger, and enjoy oligopolistic rents.
2b. The capital-intensive private sector does not want to invest Declining MPK … and little appetite for investment

3. Despite the decline in investment, the economy keeps growing
The least protected sectors - the informal labor market and the non-capital-intensive activities - stimulate demand and drive supply:
a. On the demand-side, massive migration results in remittances and transfers (13 percent of GDP) which fuel consumption-led-growth - and lower the penalty for élite-capturing policies
b. On the supply-side, the service sector and a few non-capital-intensive manufactures, free from rent-capturing regulations, boost exports

4. In equilibrium at a low-level of capital stock In the status quo corporate conglomerates use the political system to limit
economic entry & create rents, and then use the resulting rents to stabilize the economic and political system
The resulting self-interested political constituencies, in equilibrium, perpetuate the status quo.
Economic agents with rational foresight have no incentives to unilaterally increase investment, as the first-mover will bear short-term costs
While the public sector faces macroeconomic fragility, the domestic private sector makes enough money within the status quo (and the capital-intensive private sector is dealing with a low MPK).
Foreign investors “stay out” and non-élite businesses “stay small and informal”. Hence, the economic system is in equilibrium at a low-level of capital stock.
In the short-medium term, low levels of investments are rational, and the “low-capital-stock” equilibrium is delivering …
… economic growth, which - although not creating jobs (the unemployment rate is at almost 8 percent) - seems sustainable.

Source: Author.
5. Concern: Growth could be faster and more inclusive
The economy needs to move from its “low-capital-stock” equilibrium to a higher one The growth potential is untapped: for future competitiveness, it is essential to
reverse the present under-investment.
It is difficult to see how, at present levels of investment, a sufficiently robust growth can be sustained in the longer term, which is essential to deal with the country’s long-term development challenges (more jobs and less poverty).
Growth is not inclusive Over 2002-2006, higher growth did not translate into higher employment.
For the past few years, poverty reduction has been slower than in the rest of East Asia, and rural poverty remains high.
The sustainability of the growth model is exposed to long-term risks In the long run, of the two engines of growth (export-led services and
remittances-fuelled consumption), the first might “cannibalize” the second.
To reach speedier and more inclusive growth and sustain it in the long term, the country needs to address its lack of competitiveness.

6. To sustain growth, the economy needs a phased competitive diversification and then push reforms
What is needed is a market-driven expansion of non-traditional products …
Given the strength of rent-seeking interests, moving too abruptly would entail political risks; the reform can occur only gradually.
To mitigate and postpone confrontation with rent-seekers, the Government should follow a three-pronged strategy:
a. start by getting the economic zones right - while pursuing a competitive real exchange rate - in order to promote new exportables;
b. increase revenues, to finance the needed boost in infrastructure and education spending; and
c. implement gradual reforms to tackle the rent-seeking conglomerate economy and reduce the cost of strategic inputs.
… to steadily build a pro-reform political constituency
Over time, the expanding competitive sectors should shrink the relative size of the rent-driven economy, and - with the businesses that are bearing the costs of rent-seeking - reduce élite-capture.
6a. Pursue better-performing economic zones and a competitive exchange rate For speedier growth, policies should promote the manufacturing - and
export - of new and more sophisticated products.
A key starting point is improving the performance of the economic zones … How to do it? PEZA should make convincing commitments to improving
the performance of the economic zones:
(i) provide non-fiscal incentives to the construction in loco of first-rate infrastructure - e.g., via PPP;
(ii) guarantee simplified business procedures; (iii) enhance in situ competition, by ensuring - for example - that local institutions
treat domestic and foreign firms equally and transparently (e.g., in dispute reconciliation); and
(iv) coordinate this “ecozones strengthening process” within an overall growth strategy.
… while pursuing a stable and competitive real exchange rate. How to do it? Stimulate higher saving rates, by (i) tightening of fiscal policy
and (ii) sterilizing capital inflows and remittances.

6b. Increase revenues, to finance spending in infrastructure and education
Additional revenues and more public-private risk sharing in infrastructure and education.
How to do it? Increase revenues as a share of GDP by strengthening tax administration and adjusting excise taxes, continue lowering the debt-to-GDP ratio and interest payments, and restrain non-priority current expenditures.
To increase tax collection, the taxpayer register should include the corporate conglomerates and tax arrears should be audited.
Indexation would ensure that excise revenues do not decline in real terms: excises on fuel, alcohol, and tobacco are low by international standards and have not kept up with inflation since the tax reform of 1997.
Finally, starting from the economic zones, it is necessary to stimulate risk-sharing among investors - for example, via PPP in infrastructure, by co-financing public works (transport and communications) and in education, by addressing under-provision of training in areas where skills are lacking.
6c. Gradually reduce élite-capture, to lower the cost of strategic inputs
In the traditional sectors, the rent-seekers are powerful and well established.
How to do it? First steps are improving the investment climate and competitiveness, and disseminating information on the distributional effects of government policies. But concrete measures are needed to open oligopolistic markets.
Reducing protection for agricultural products, particularly rice, will benefit the food processing and livestock industries.
Greater competition in ports and shipping, civil air transport, wholesale electricity and cement production markets would substantially reduce costs, spur investments, and create jobs.
Political reform is needed to trigger and sustain these economic gains … … but leadership matters (as shown in the de-monopolization of
telecoms).
