AbstractThis paper provides large scale evidence on the determinants of international competitiveness of Indian manufacturing firms, focusing in particular on the role of technology, costs and imported intermediate inputs. Our evidence suggests that innovation, in particular R&D investment, is positively related to both firms’ probability to export and firms’ export volumes. We also find that imported intermediate inputs, incorporating foreign technology is strongly associated with expanding export activities of firms. Finally, and in contrast to much of previous evidence on developed economies, we find that higher productivity or lower unit labour costs are not systematically associated with the probability to enter export markets, but they are positively related to higher export volumes. Overall our results point to the existence of a pattern of involvement in international trade for firms in developing countries that is not relying as a main driver on cost competitiveness.

Path Modelling

Peningkatan produksi garam menjadi penting seiring dengan meningkatnya jumlah penduduk dan tumbuhnya sektor industri pengolahan di Indonesia. Program Pemberdayaan Usaha Garam Rakyat (PUGAR) yang dicanangkan oleh Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan (KKP) ditujukan untuk menjaga dan meningkatkan ketersediaan garam di masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui struktur biaya usaha petambak garam serta faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi pendapatannya yang akan berdampak pada penciptaan nilai tambah petambak garam. Penelitian dilakukan dengan  enggunakan metode Partial Least Square Path Modelling (PLS-PM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan output petambak garam sebesar satu persen akan meningkatkan nilai tambah petambak garam sebesar 0,911 persen, sedangkan peningkatan input antara (intermediate input) sebesar satu persen akan memberikan dampak secara tidak langsung terhadap nilai tambah petambak garam sebesar 0,775 persen. Selain itu, peranan komoditas garam terhadap perekonomian terus meningkat selama program PUGAR digulirkan. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh kontribusi dan laju pertumbuhan PDB berbasis garam yang selalu meningkat selama periode tersebut. (Salt Farmers Business Analysis and Its Role in The Economy, 2012 (Case Study: PUGAR Salt Farmers))Increasing production of salt has become important due to the increasing population and the growth of the manufacturing sector in Indonesia. Empowerment of People’s Salt (PUGAR) Program launched by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) is intended to maintain and improve the availability of salt in the community. This research aims at finding cost structure and factors that effect the income of salt farmers by which will lead to impacted to the generating of salt farmers value added. This research uses a Partial Least Square Path Modelling (PLS-PM) as analytical method. Based on the research results, an increase in output of salt farmers by one percent will increase the value added of salt farmers by 0,911 percent. While the increase in intermediate inputs by one percent would provide indirectimpact on the value added of salt farmers by 0,775 percent. In addition, the role of salt commodities on the economy continued to increase throughout the PUGAR program rolled. This phenomenon showed by the contributions and growth rate of based on the continum growth rate of based-salt GDP during the period.

Imported Intermediate Inputs

In this study, we introduce the concept of differentiated quality inputs with knowledge-driven specifications for research and development (R&D) under an open economy to the endogenous growth model of knowledge spillover. Using matching industry enterprise and customs data from 2001 to 2007, which is representative of micro data at the Chinese industry level, we theoretically analyze the influence of the quality and variety of imported products on Chinese enterprises’ innovation and economic growth. We find that, first, the improvement of the quality and variety of new imported products can promote enterprise innovation. Second, new imported intermediate inputs and capital goods, new imported high-technology products, and products imported from Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries have stronger promoting effects on enterprise innovation. We conclude that imported products stimulate the growth of the economy through two channels: expanding the variety and increasing the quality of inputs. To verify the stability of our model, we conducted robustness tests by defining new imported products based on a base year, measuring enterprise innovation by the number of patent applications, and measuring the quality of new imported products in a new way.
