Abstract

An empirical framework for analyzing the rationale behind government pricing decisions and for deriving efficient pricing rules is developed, using the Philippine sugar sector as a case study. Empirical results indicate the importance of sectorial and macroeconomic factors influencing pricing decisions and the welfare implications of current vis-a-vis efficient pricing.
