Claire Dennis Sioson Mapa

Details

Dr.Clair Dennis Mapa is recognized for his important contributions in the field of economics. He shared his research findings on the factors that influence hunger incidence in the Philippines using data from the SWS quarterly surveys. Among the potential determinants of hunger incidence are changes in the price of rice and job misery index. The latter being the sum of the employment and unemployment rates. Dr. Mapa emphasized that an increase in the price of rice in the preceding quarter leads to an increase in hunger incidence in the succeeding quarter. After the plenary talks, Prof. Roselle V. Collado of INSTAT, facilitated the open forum where students and faculty members were given the chance to clarify some points in the papers. The afternoon session heard a total of 30 paper presentations spread across parallel sessions on Statistics on Economics, Environmental Statistics, Statistics in Social Sciences and Education, Computational Methods in Statistics, Statistics in Health and Nutrition, and Business Statistics.
