Industrial development requires technological capability in industry. National innovation system is anchored on the theory that industrial development requires technological capability in industry, and that exploitation of technology is most critical at the firm level. This paper describes the structure and characteristics of the Philippine national innovation system, and compares it with the American, Japanese, and German national systems of innovation. It concludes that the Philippine national innovation system must gear up to the requirements of a catch-up system to fit its institutions to its economic structure. This requires all the elements of the system to address the technology capability, adaptation, assimilation, and modification needs of a catch-up economy.

The arrival of globalization has brought about a lot of challenges for nations to meet. This paper takes a look at the capability of the Philippine state to cope with the demands of globalization. It documents the rules, laws, regulations, institutions and agencies that underlie the administrative capacity of the Philippines to promote trade and investments, and thereby achieve economic growth. A review and analysis of Philippine practices and experience is undertaken to determine the state's readiness for globalization. The study will cover three aspects of state capacity that contribute to the promotion of trade and investments: (1) administrative capacity, (2) systems of transparency and accountability, and (3) legal and judicial frameworks. Finally the paper recommends areas wherein the Philippine government must focus on based on the three aspects as well as suggests follow up in-depth studies on issues covering: capacity to promote healthy competition; regulatory framework and capacity; capacity to develop industries, sectors and regions; policies for social development, redistributive justice, and poverty reduction; policies to promote performance, productivity, and competitiveness; and policies to protect the environment.

It is the government's role in the science and technology sector to foster cooperation between government, academe and industries; establish a competitive science research funding mechanism; promote the development of science and technology manpower; and establish a system to monitor, assess and forecast technology. To strengthen science and technology education at the elementary and secondary levels, however, requires an upgrading of laboratory facilities and equipment and hiring of qualified teachers. This paper enumerates measures to address the incentive problem in the science and technology sector, suggests ways to enhance research and development delivery system; and offers solutions to improve the science and technology coordination mechanism.

Main description: Eine Ethik des Glücks Um ein glückliches Leben führen zu können, sollte der Mensch gemäß Epiktet (1./2. Jh. n. Chr.) frei von Affekten und unabhängig gegenüber allen Dingen der Außenwelt sein. Er sollte Haltung bewahren und nicht zu viel erwarten. "Die Meinung der anderen muss dir gleichgültig sein! Lass dich nicht aus der Fassung bringen! Wahre das rechte Maß!" Das kleine "Handbuch der Moral" hatte große Wirkung auf das frühe Christentum und das Denken der Menschen in byzantinischer Zeit. Goethe schätzte den Autor mehr als die so genannten großen Philosophen.

This paper examines three areas of concern. The first relates to the confusing definitions of "investment" among concerned government agencies affecting responses by investors. The second examines responses of private firms to various types of incentives such as in cases of assessing options for capital investments. The third area looked into is with respect to industrial policy issues and focuses particularly on the role of government in priority identification, in location decision and pricing among others.

Following the global trend in using private sector participation in infrastructure financing and development, the Philippines has largely utilized privatization as a major approach to the development of infrastructure, particularly in power, water, transport, and telecommunications sectors. To provide a legal framework for private sector participation in infrastructure projects, Congress passed the build-operate-transfer (BOT)law, as amended, to expand the scope of private sector involvement in infrastructure provision. Regulatory reform has accompanied the effort to ensure operational efficiency and competitive provision. This paper intends to review and evaluate the regulatory framework that has been established or suggested for the Philippines, focusing on the power and telecommunications sectors. This study will primarily evaluate the existing regulatory framework. It aims to identify issues and gaps, paying particular attention on the competition-related provisions as well as the institutional capacities of regulatory institutions.
