Abstract

This paper analyzes the long run changes of aggregate input-output relationships and assesses the impact of agricultural development on the growth rate of Malaysian agricultural productivity over the period 1966-2000. We find that despite the intensified effort to modernize and revitalize the agricultural sector, the average annual growth rate of agricultural production decreased from 8.2 percent in the initial phase of agricultural development (1966-1970) to 5.1 percent in the intermediate phase (1971-1990) and subsequently to 0.3 percent in the modernization phase (1991-2000). During 1966-2000, labor productivity recorded the highest annual rate of growth of 4.6 percent as compared to 2.1 percent of land productivity and 2.9 percent of total productivity. All productivity measures recorded an increasingly slower rate of growth throughout the period of study. This reflects the deterioration in production efficiency in Malaysian agriculture presumably due to technological adjustment and inputs subsidies.

Abstract

This study utilizes the push and pull theory as described in the Lowry (1966) spatial interaction model to estimate the determinants of Indonesian migrant workers into Malaysia during 1997-2005. The dependent variable used in this study is the number of Indonesian migrant workers and the independent variables are the income per capita in Malaysia and the unemployment rates in Indonesia. The regression model is estimated by using the ordinary least squares (OLS) technique. The result shows that both income per capita and unemployment rates have positive effects on Indonesian migrant workers into Malaysia. Hence, the findings support the push and pull theory where increases in income per capita in Malaysia acts as a pull factor that attract Indonesian workers into Malaysia. Whereas high unemployment rates in Indonesia is a push factor which encourages Indonesian workers to migrate. However, as compared to high wage rate in Malaysia, the existence of unemployment in Indonesia is found to be the main reason for the migration Indonesian workers into Malaysia. Keywords: Indonesian migrant workers, income per capita, unemployment rates, Malaysia.
