What This Module is About
An economic institution provides the distribution of goods and services to the
members of the society. In societies with a recognized economic system, production
and distribution of goods and services is the most essential part of the system for it to
function accurately.
Nonstate institutions are businesses not owned and controlled by the
government. The private sector and other non-state organizations perform roles that
complement the state and of the markets. Many non-state institutions are key players
in the economic activities of the society.
Let’s look at this.

Lesson
Economic Institutions
Learning Competency: Analyze economic organization and its
impacts on the lives of people in the society
(UCSP11/12HSO-IIa-24)

What’s New
Activity 1:
NAME IT.
With the present COVID – 19 pandemic situations, many institutions and
organizations have reached the communities to extend help to the Filipinos in terms
of, but not limited to, food, money, personal protective equipment (PPE), and other
basic needs. Based on your observation, name an institution/organization which
helped your community during this pandemic and explain briefly its impact on the lives
of the people.

What is It
Every society has formed social institutions and organizations to meet all the
basic needs of the people. One of these needs is to produce and distribute goods and
services to the people. The economic institutions and organizations of society provide
the distribution of goods and services to the people.
ECONOMIC INSTITUTIONS
Nonmarket Institutions
Reciprocity exists when there is an exchange of goods or labor between
individuals in a community. This would include direct barter or simultaneous
1
exchanges of goods or labor. An example of reciprocity is when you exchange food or
in-kind for the labor extended from your neighbors.
Transfer entails a redistribution of income that is not matched by the actual
exchange of goods or services. An example of this is a donation or financial assistance
from a wealthy relative to the needy one. Another is from the government institutions
in the case of 4P's, senior citizen social pension, farmer subsidies, social security
benefits, among others.
Redistribution can be considered as a combination of transfer and reciprocity.
It involves a centralized collection of goods from members of a group and redistributes
the goods to the same members of the group. For example, during this covid-19
pandemic, a student organization in your school collects relief goods and distributes
the same to the most affected students in the community.
Market Institutions
The market transaction involves parties who sell their goods and services in
exchange for cash from consumers or customers. Some examples of these are the
sari-sari stores in our community where we use to buy our basic needs; the food
industry that we used to patronize provides support to the economic activity in our
country, in general.
Market and state. The state, through the government, plays an important role
in the market. The government regulates the prices especially for the basic commodity
to protect the interest of the consumers. That is why we have this so-called Suggested
Retail Price (SRP) which means that the price of a certain commodity follows a price
ceiling or the maximum price set by the government. The Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI) is tasked with this regulation.
Labor is also considered a commodity and it is an input to the production of
goods and services. The government regulates the prices of labor by determining the
minimum wages through the regional wage board to protect the workers from being
paid below the minimum in exchange for their service rendered. The government
intervenes in the activities of market institutions to primarily protect the interest and
welfare of the consumers and the workers.
The government collects taxes from the worker’s income, business profits, and
consumption of goods and services to raise revenue for government spending, may it
be government purchase, for example, purchase of fighter planes or construction of
railways or transfer payments which does not require any output in the form of social
security benefits, provision of public services through free education, universal health
care, etc., subsidies and the like.

What is It
Non-state Institutions and Organizations
A bank is a place where
people deposit or save their money
with interest in a given period. It
lends money both to public and
private
organizations.
The
government borrows money from
the bank to finance its projects while
private organizations and individuals
borrow money to finance their
business and other personal needs.
The example includes Banco de
Oro, Bank of the Philippine Islands,
Metrobank, rural banks, etc.
Image: https://bit.ly/3eQooPw
A corporation is a company or group of people authorized to act as a single
entity and recognized as such in law. Usually, corporations operate as stock
corporations where ownership is through stockholders who own shares in the
company. Examples are San Miguel Corporation and Jollibee Foods Corporation.
Cooperative or coop refers to an autonomous association whose membership
is voluntary toward the attainment of shared economic, social and, cultural needs or
aspirations. The members are the owner of a cooperative. Examples are credit
cooperative, a consumer cooperative, electric cooperative, housing cooperative,
worker’s cooperative, an agricultural cooperative, general cooperative.
A trade union or labor union is an organization of workers whose main
objective is to protect the welfare of its members. Its purpose is to collectively negotiate
with employers for better compensation benefits, to ensure safety standards in the
workplace, and others. In the Philippines, these national federations are the Trade
Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) and the Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU).
Transnational Advocacy Groups are involved in social advocacy to promote
principled causes, ideas, and values. Their goal is to give the powerless a voice in the
domestic and international law-making body. Common social advocacies include
human rights, consumer rights, women’s rights, environmental issues, and
international peace. In the Philippines, Human Rights Watch is very active in human
rights and peace issues.
Development Agencies are committed and dedicated to distributing aid.
These agencies are present in developing countries challenged by security conflict,
food shortage, climate change, financial instability, and others. Some of the prominent
development agencies in the Philippines are the following:
5
•
•
•
United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID)
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)
The aid can be subdivided into two categories: humanitarian aid (emergency
relief efforts in response to disasters and development aid (foreign aid) aimed at
helping countries to achieve sustainable economic growth.
Global Organizations work in the development of entire countries. They are
the funders and donors. They operate by giving loans or grants to other countries to
be used for improvement. In the onslaught of COVID-19, World Bank granted a loan
to the Philippines to be used for financial assistance to many of the Filipinos who are
affected by the pandemic. Below are the most well-known organizations in the world.
• World Bank (WB)
• International Monetary Fund (IMF)
• Asian Development Bank (ADB)
The International Organizations are organizations with a worldwide membership,
scope, or presence. The two (2) main types are the following:
• International Non-governmental Organizations (INGO) are non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) that operate internationally, for example, the
International Committee of the Red Cross.
• International Governmental Organizations (IGOs) are organizations that are
made up primarily of member states, for example, the United Nations (UN).
