Abstract

Global Value Chain (GVC) has been a global phenomenon since 1980s when export values no longer represented the actual benefit of a country’ economic measure. Furthermore, GVC measurement applying input-output table approach has quite rapidly developed. Given the fact that the role of Indonesian pulp and paper industry is increasingly important in the country’s economy, this study aimed at measuring the pulp and paper industry GVC in 1995 and 2011 as well as its position and participation in the global GVC using Inter-Country Input-Output (ICIO). The results show that GVC of Indonesia's pulp and paper industry is generally in the form of value-added exports in intermediate absorption by direct importers and indirect final exports and also in the form of foreign value-added return in foreign countries in intermediate exports and also value-added exports in intermediate goods exports to the third countries. GVC Indonesia is also still dominated by domestic value-added compared to foreign value-added and remains in a “downstream” position and has decreased its GVC participation globally. In the future, it is important to strengthen GVC participation by maintaining greater ownership of domestic value- added in Indonesia's pulp and paper industry.Keywords: global value chain, pulp and paper, Intercountry input-output, GVC position and participation

Abstract

The research aims to analyse the impact of seaport activity on economic development in Indonesia. The time series of data has ranged between 2008 – 2018. This cross-section of data covers 33 provinces in Indonesia. The research uses secondary sources, such as the Central Statistics Agency, CEIC, and Ministries, and employs panel data analysis, which chooses the fixed effect as the best model. The results show that : (i) capital expenditure to gross investment in the economy (PMTB) positively affects boosting economic growth, (ii) the university workforce has a positive impact on per capita income growth (iii) the depreciation appears to erode gross regional domestic product per capita, and (iv) the variables associated with port activity in the model have no significance at a p-value of 1 % or 10 %. Furthermore, the variable with a lag of one year significantly affected growth. It meant that the investment activities impacted the economy in the following year. The policy implications include: (i) Increased government capital expenditure is needed, (ii) Providing the broadest possible access to higher education is one of the policies that can be taken to improve the quality of workers; (iii) improve access to and from the seaport to facilitate the flow of goods both for unloading and loading and unloading at the seaport.
