Contents Introduction
This paper analyzes the productivity growth, technical efficiency, and technological changes in Indonesia’s manufacturing sector. Using establishment-level industrial census, I showed the details of the productivity change, innovation, and catch-up performances of four sectors—apparel, general machinery, electric machinery, and motor vehicles. Then I identified the factors affecting the firms’ performance. The results showed that globalization matters for mainly large enterprises in the electrical machinery and motor vehicle industries while medium-sized enterprises are not deeply affected by trade and investment liberalization.
