Technical Efficiency and Productivity Analysis in Indonesian Provincial Economies

By using the stochastic frontier methodology, this study investigates the technical efficiency and total factor productivity (TFP) growth in Indonesian provincial economies during the period from 1993 to 2000. In addition to the estimation of provincial technical efficiency, factors that contribute to technical inefficiency are also examined and the TFP growth is decomposed into technological progress, the scale component and the change in technical efficiency. The results reveal that average technical efficiency is only around 50%. Our results reveal that the mean years of schooling and sectoral differences affected technical efficiency. The TFP grew, on average, in the range from 1.65% to 5.43% with an average growth of 3.59%. In twenty out of twenty six provinces the TFP growth was driven by efficiency changes while in four provinces the TFP growth was driven by technological progress. Further, we note that the Asian crisis affected the TFP growth and the western provinces suffered from the crisis more than the eastern provinces

Efficiency and Productivity Analyses of Indonesian Manufacturing Industries

This study estimates the technical efficiencies and total factor productivity (TFP) growth in food, textile, chemical and metal products industries during 1993 to 2000 in Indonesia by using the stochastic frontier model. Furthermore, the determinants of inefficiency are also analyzed and the TFP growth is decomposed into technological progress, scale component, and efficiency growth. The results reveal that the food, textile, chemical and metal products sectors are on average 50.79%, 47.89%, 68.65% and 68.91% technically efficient respectively. It is noted that ownership contributed to technical inefficiency in the food sector; location and size contributed to technical inefficiency in the textile sector, whereas size, ownership and age contributed to inefficiencies in the chemical and metal products sectors. The estimates of TFP growth indicate that productivity in Indonesian manufacturing industries decreased at the rate of 2.73%, 0.26%, 1.65% and 0.5% in food, textile, and metal products respectively, whereas in the chemical sector, it increased at a rate of 0.5% during the period of the study. The decomposition of TFP growth indicates that the growths are driven positively by technical efficiency changes and negatively by technological progress in all four sectors

Cost efficiency, Economies of Scale, Technological Progress and Productivity in Indonesian Banks

This study estimates cost efficiency, scale economies, technological progress and productivity growth for Indonesian banks over the period 1993-2000. Overall the cost efficiency of all banks during this period was 69.82%. However, on average the efficiency of banks prior to the Asian crisis and after the Asian crisis were 79.67% and 53.40% respectively. Moreover, the results also indicate that private-owned banks and joint venture/foreign banks were more efficient than public-owned banks. Furthermore, as expected large banks tend to be more efficient as compared to smaller banks. Total factor productivity growth for Indonesian banks over the period 1993-2000 was -3.14%. However, before the Asian crisis, Indonesian banks productivity decreased by 1.48%, while after the crisis it decreased by 6.45%
