Tracing Interregional Freight Flows Via Water Transport: A SAM-Based Approach

This study will trace the interregional flows across the islands in the Philippines via water transport services. The main analytical tool used is a 5-region social accounting matrix constructed by the authors for the Philippines. A regional social accounting matrix is a particular representation of transactions and transfers among all economic agents in the system during an accounting period. A multi-region SAM links individual regions in consideration of feedback and spillover effects of an exogenous shock .The main result from the multi-regional SAM shows that the highest interregional freight flow is that which comes from Visayas in Southern Philippines and goes to Southern Luzon, the region adjacent to the National Capital Region.
