Productivity in the Indonesian Automotive Industry

Secondly, what roles have multinational enterprises played in the development of the automotive industry in Indonesia? In examining the issues at hand, establishment data for the Indonesian automotive industries between 1990–95 is used. The methodology examines the dynamics of the different sub-sectors' productivity performance: which establishments account for most of the productivity growth, and how important entry and exit of establishments are to the overall performance.
