Total Factor Productivity Calculation of The Indonesian Micro and Small Scale Manufacturing Industry

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the total factor productivity (TFP) of Indonesia's micro and small-scale manufacturing industries. The production function estimation approach established by Levinsohn-Petrin as the basis for computing TFP is employed in this study, with value added as the dependent variable and the value of labor costs and capital value proxied by the value of investment as the independent variables. This study uses secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), which includes 23 sub-sectors of Indonesia's micro and small scale manufacturing industries that are included in the 2-digit ISIC, with the exception of the ISIC code 19 sub-sector, and covers the years 2010 to 2019, excluding 2016. The TFP value in the micro-scale Indonesian manufacturing industry was often higher than the TFP value on the small scale, according to this study. This research also demonstrates that low-tech sub-sectors, such as the food processing industry, have low productivity. On a small size, the estimated TFP value shows a decreasing trend, but on a micro scale, the estimated TFP value indicates an increasing trend.

Pangan Di Maluku Utara, Indonesia: Ketersediaan, Keterkaitan Dan Dampak Ekonomi

“…Riset berbeda, menemukan bahwa pangan yang diukur melalui subsektor tanaman pangan memiliki tingkat keterkaitan baik daya tarik maupun daya dorong yang rendah terhadap sektor di hulu maupun di hilir, sedangkan dari sisi multiplier effect, pengganda output pangan jauh lebih besar dibandingkan pengganda pendapatan (Choiroh et al, 2020;Hamijaya & Suryaman, 2023a, 2023bSetiawan et al, 2021). Meskipun sektor pangan bukanlah leading sector tapi kemampuan serapan tenaga kerjanya tidak kalah dengan sektor industri (Djulius et al, 2019;Haris et al, 2018;Rostiana et al, 2022).…”

The Causality Between Energy Consumption and Carbon Emission in Indonesia

“…Efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and switch to cleaner energy sources are important steps in addressing global climate change. However, along with that, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia must also consider sustainable economic growth in order to be able to answer the social and economic needs of the community (Pasaribu et al, 2023;Rostiana et al, 2022).…”

Analysis of Labour Productivity in Micro and Small Industries in Java

“…One of the previous studies discussed the total factor productivity in micro and small industries. The researcher found that the total factor productivity in the micro industry is greater than that in the small industry [4]- [6]. The discussion regarding the productivity of micro and small industries can be narrowed down, one of which is labor productivity.…”
