Book Description
Indonesia's gross domestic product growth rate declined significantly after the Asian financial crisis (AFC) of 1997–1998. The country's potential and balance-of-payments growth rates are only about 5.5% and 3%, respectively. One important reason is that the country's industrialization pace declined after the AFC. Today, Indonesia is still exporting many unprocessed natural resources and simple manufactures (not complex products) with a low income elasticity of demand. This report analyzes how Indonesia's manufacturing sector could diversify and upgrade during 2020–2024 and beyond. This is essential if Indonesia is to attain upper middle-income status as soon as possible. Policy makers and the private sector need to collaborate to identify the coordination failures that hamper the discovery of those products that Indonesia could successfully produce and export. These must be complex products with a high income elasticity of demand. The report proposes a number of policies to expedite this process.

Pages : 314
Book Description
Against the backdrop of growing anti-globalisation sentiments and increasing fragmentation of the production process across countries, this book addresses how the Indonesian economy should respond and how Indonesia should shape its trade and industrial policies in this new world trade environment. The book introduces evaluation not on tariffs but on new trade instruments such as non-tariff measures (SPS, TBT, export measures and beyond border measures), and looks at industrial policies from a broader perspective such as investment, accessing inputs, labour, services, research and innovation policies. “The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/10.4324/9781315161976, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.”
Indonesia's Industrial Transformation

Pages : 438
Book Description
Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous nation, has experienced a remarkable economic transformation over the past 30 years. In the mid 1960s it was one of the poorest countries in the developing world, but by the 1990s it had joined the group of Asian 'tiger' economies. This set of essays examines the record of industrialization, which has been central to Indonesia's rapid development. Successive sections provide an overview of the industrialization process, case studies of selected industries, the contribution of foreign investment and technological development, the role of small-medium industry, and a range of industrial policy issues. Drawing on the country's much improved statistical base, this empirically oriented volume highlights both the achievements of the 'New Order' regime and the many challenges which lie ahead.

Book Description
This thesis examines Indonesia's export performance from the 1970s. It provides a rigorous and comprehensive analysis of the currently limited discussion on Indonesia's trade issues. The main research questions are threefold: how good is Indonesia's export performance over the last 30 years?. How does it compare to its close competitors?. What factors contributed to the performance? This thesis begins with a discussion of the economic policy dynamics in Indonesia since the 1970s and focuses on the economic reforms Indonesia has undertaken since the mid 1980s, followed by chapters devoted to discussion on Indonesia's comparative advantage and competitiveness relative to its close competitors and the determinants of exports, at the macro and firm levels. On comparative advantage, this thesis shows that the number of products for which Indonesia has a comparative advantage has increased over time. The increase is mainly due to the manufacturing sector. A closer assessment of the manufacturing sector confirms Indonesia's comparative advantage in labour intensive and resource based labour intensive industries. However, recent data show these industries experienced deterioration in their export strength. On Indonesia's competitive position relative to China, Malaysia, Thailand and Viet Nam, this thesis shows Indonesia is more competitive in the agriculture sector especially in recent times; relatively less competitive in the manufacturing sector; and on a par in the mining sectors except for the last few years when Indonesia has been relatively more competitive. Closer assessment of the manufacturing sector reveals that Indonesia is relatively more competitive in resource based labour intensive and resource based capital-intensive industries. This thesis also shows the long run relationship between exports, the real exchange rate, and demand and supply factors. The signs and the magnitude of the effect of each of the factors differ across sectors and subsectors. For manufacturing exports, the real exchange rate, demand and supply factors are positive and statistically significant. For agriculture exports, the effect of real exchange rate, world demand and supply capacity are also positive. However, only coefficients of world demand and supply capacity are statistically significant. For the mining sectors, although those three variables exhibit positive impacts on exports, only world demand shows a statistically significant impact. This chapter also shows the particular impact of economic reform on the manufacturing sector. It also shows differences in exports performance across sector during the crisis. At the firm level, this thesis shows the impact of firm heterogeneity and spillovers on export decisions and export performance. The results are relatively consistent for pre and post-crisis period. On the export decisions, the effect of labour productivity, size, foreign ownership, sectoral and regional spillovers are positive. On export performance, the effect of firm heterogeneity and spillovers are also relatively consistent for pre and post-crisis, while the magnitudes are generally higher during the post-crisis period, except for sectoral spillovers. Assessment of the labour-intensive sector shows their superior export performance compared to other manufacturing exports. The assessment on Batam also reveals its superior export performance relative to other regions. --provided by Candidate.
