Determination Of State Economic Activities - Developing Countries In East Asia & Pacific Using Classical Approaches
Abstract Countries in East Asia and the Pacific region are potential countries with fairly strong economic growth rates amid slowing global economic growth. One contributing factor to economic growth in East Asia and the Pacific can be seen using a classical approach where economic growth is seen from capital, natural resources, incoming foreign investment and the use of technology. This research wants to see how big these factors are in influencing the economic activities of developing countries in East Asia and the Pacific. The methodology used in this study is to use a Vector Error Correction Model by focusing on the impulse response function and variance decomposition to see the response of several variables due to changes in other variables and to see how much the proportion of one variable affects other variables in the short term or long term. In the short term, incoming foreign investment and technology affect productive land while in the long run productive land is influenced by incoming foreign investment and human resources. In the short term, GDP is not affected by any variable, whereas in the long term GDP is affected by human resources, incoming foreign investment, and technology. In the long run, human resources are affected by incoming foreign investment. Foreign investment that enters in the short term is influenced by productive land and human resources, whereas in the long run, only human resources can directly influence foreign investment. Technology in the short term is influenced by productive land and incoming foreign investment while in the long run technology is influenced by incoming foreign investment and human resources. The economic growth reflected in GDP and productive land contained in East Asia and the Pacific was largely influenced by technology in the final period. Incoming foreign investment and technology are largely influenced by productive land. Whereas the human resources found in East Asia and the Pacific are mostly influenced by GDP.
