Leading sectors in Central Java provides a large multiplier effect on
regional economies, but in the development of this sector requires the ability to
grow and become the locomotive of growth for other sectors. High market a boost,
especially in export demand will encourage sectors to be able to grow taller and
encourages other sectors to grow. This study aims to analyze the contribution and
the competitiveness of export sectors in Central Java.
Input-output analysis is used to look at linkages between sectors that may
ultimately be determined to be the key sector. Based on the key sector contribution
can be seen later multiplier can also be shown from these sectors. Analysis of
RCA (Revealed comparative advantage) is used to look at the competitiveness of
export sectors. Estimation of linkage in this study using input-output tables of
Central Java in 2008 with a classification of 88 sectors are aggregated into 87
sectors.
The analysis based on linkages between sectors of economic sectors in

(share) note that the sectors that contributed most to the total output is the sector
of oil and fat industry, wood industry and building materials of wood, and
electricity and gas sectors. Based on the analysis of export competitiveness
(Revealed Comparative Advantage) shows the dominant sector in Central Java
with the export competitiveness of the timber and building materials of wood, nonmetallic
mineral products industry, spinning mill industry, cement industry, and
the lime industry. RCA values indicates that the leading sectors have export
competitiveness
