Assessing the output and productivity growth of Malaysia’s manufacturing sector
Authors:R Mahadevan  
Abstract:Given the importance of the manufacturing sector in the second-tier newly industrializing economy of Malaysia, this paper uses the stochastic frontier approach to assess the growth potential of this sector. This is performed by first estimating the production function by using panel data comprising 28 manufacturing industries over the period of 1981–1996. Unlike previous studies that used the growth accounting approach, here output growth is not just decomposed into input growth and total factor productivity growth but total factor productivity growth is further decomposed into technological progress and technical efficiency, thereby providing more direction for policy making.
Keywords:Total factor productivity  Technological progress  Technical efficiency  Stochastic production frontier
