The Spatial Distribution of Japanese Manufacturing Industries in Indonesia

This paper presents an analysis of regional changes in the spatial pattern of Japanese manufacturing industries and the effect of deregulation of foreign investment in Indonesia during 1984–1994. Empirical analysis in this paper uses data of 560 Japanese manufacturing industries in Indonesia. The result of this study indicates their continuous regional concentration in the core region of Java. The regression analysis indicates that market, agglomeration and infrastructure continue to be the main reasons for the location of Japanese manufacturing industries. The current economic crisis has substantially reduced the level of new investment in the core region of Java.     

Productivity Growth, Efficiency and Outsourcing in Manufacturing and Service Industries

This paper is a survey of recent contributions to, and developments of, the relationship between outsourcing, efficiency and productivity growth in manufacturing and services. The objective is to provide a thorough and up–to–date survey that provides a significant discussion on data, as well as on the core methods of measuring efficiency and productivity. First, the readers are introduced to the measurement of partial and total factor productivity growth. Different parametric and non–parametric approaches to the productivity measurement in the context of static, dynamic and firm–specific modelling are discussed. Second, we survey the econometric approach to efficiency analysis. The issues of modelling, distributional assumptions and estimation methods are discussed assuming that cross–sectional or panel data are available. Third, the relationship between outsourcing and productivity growth in manufacturing and services is discussed. The correspondence between a number of hypotheses and empirical findings are examined. Examples of varieties of relevant empirical applications, their findings and implications are presented. Fourth, measurement of inputs and outputs in manufacturing and services are discussed. Finally, to promote useful research, a number of factors important to the analysis of outsourcing, efficiency and productivity growth in the service sector are summarised.     

Technical Change and Efficiency in Turkish Manufacturing Industries

Technical progress and production efficiency are central to economic growth and international competitiveness. However, these topics received little attention in Less Developed Countries. This study is the first attempt to measure and to understand the extent and importance of technical progress and efficiency in Turkish manufacturing industries. Stochastic production frontiers for Turkish textile, cement, and motor vehicles industries are estimated by using panel data of plants for the years 1987 to 1992. The rate and direction of technical change for each industry are estimated by introducing time-dependent variables in the production function. Sector-specific factors which influence technical efficiency of manufacturing plants are also identified.     

中国中部地区制造业竞争力研究

提升制造业竞争力是打造先进制造业中心的题中之义。选取2006—2015年为研究时段,基于指标设计和因子分析方法甄别中部地区制造业竞争力水平及发展症结,结果表明:(1)中部地区制造业竞争力在中国四大板块中居于第二位,金属制品及专用设备制造等先进制造业在全国占有重要地位;(2)中部地区制造技术、制造规模、制造效益等较西部地区和东北地区优势明显;(3)中部地区制造业与东部地区相比差距显著,表现为创新不足、生产粗放、效率偏低等。为此,中部地区要大力实施科技创新战略,提振战略性新兴产业;严格落后产能标准,加速传统制造转型升级;培育制造业增长集群,加快提升制造业全要素生产率;持续扩大对外开放,不断完善制造业发展环境;深入推进中部地区制造业供给侧结构性改革。     

我国制造业龙骨结构的初探

当全球经济危机向我国袭来时,保守主义与悲观主义终于出台亮相,它们批评的主流是,依赖货物出口和制造业导向使我国无法应对这一场灾难;建议,完全以承接别国外包出来的服务或以服务出口替代货物出口;再就是,将制造业由沿海转移到内地去。针对这一思潮,文中重温了国际分工和比较优势的基本原理之时效性,对我国制造业重新定位的关键点,从产业结构战略和地理战略层面上进行了分析,提出了我国制造业布局之龙骨架构的设想。

Concentration,unionization and the distribution of income in Canadian Manufacturing Industry: Comment

This note comments on a recent article in this journal by Hollander. The principal points made are two. First, if Hollander's regressions are interpreted as representing the determinants of non-wage share of value-added, no evidence is provided by these regressions that monopsony power transfers income from factors in one industry to factors in another. Second, the interpretation of the regressions as representing the determinants of non-wage share of value-added is itself challenged. In so doing the role of capital intensity variables in these types of studies is clarified.

The Future of Japanese Manufacturing in the UK

The expansion of Japanese FDI into the UK manufacturing sector during the 1980s and early 1990s gave rise to the debate on the Japanization of British industry. The paper argues that this debate was constructed from a Western perspective. It did not locate the strategies and structures of Japanese subsidiaries within the broader context of how Japanese multinational corporations were evolving in this period. The necessity to look at these issues from a more global perspective is reinforced by the changes which have occurred since the mid 1990s in the environment for Japanese multinationals. The global economy offers more choices to firms about their location as well as facing them with a more competitive environment. In the Japanese case, this is leading to a growing differentiation between standardized mass production (which can be located in Asia and Eastern Europe) and science–led sectors of industrial production (which necessitate location near to centres of research and development expertise in the USA and Europe). This means that Japanese firms are reconsidering the strategy and structure of their subsidiaries in the UK. Standardized mass production will only survive in the UK as long as costs can be pushed further down and productivity increased, both of which are difficult conditions to meet given possibilities elsewhere in the world for cheap mass production. The growing area of investment will be in science–based manufacturing, though here the UK will be competing against the USA and Germany for Japanese investment. Here, however, the organizational and management characteristics of Japanese subsidiaries will make the necessary connections with local managers and local networks of expertise difficult to achieve. Thus Japanese subsidiaries in the UK are in a period of prolonged uncertainty about their role in the future. These changes open up the necessity for a new agenda of research which goes beyond the Japanization approach and is concerned with the organization and management of Japanese multinationals in an era of global competition.     

生产率与中国企业“走出去”：服务业和制造业有何不同？

利用企业层面的微观数据,通过计算企业生产率均值,以及计量检验生产率对企业“走出去”的影响,结果发现：“走出去”投资于服务业的企业生产率均值低于没有“走出去”的企业,而“走出去”投资于制造业的企业生产率均值则高于没有“走出去”的企业;生产率对企业“走出去”投资于制造业具有显著正向影响,符合经典的异质性企业贸易理论预期;但对“走出去”投资于服务业并不存在显著的积极影响,呈现企业“走出去”的“生产率悖论”现象。
