Abstract

Exports of resin commodities significantly affect Indonesia's economy, particularly in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment. This study aims to analyzethe effects of resin commodity exports on Indonesia's GDP and employment opportunities, and to provide recommendations for enhancing the sector's contribution through strategic initiatives. The research employs the Error Correction Model (ECM) to assess the relationship between resin exports, GDP, and employment, utilizing secondary data over the past decade. Results indicate a strong positive correlation between resin exports and GDP growth, with the latter significantly influenced by export revenue. The findings also reveal that the resin sector creates numerous job opportunities, benefiting not only the industry itself but also related sectors such as logistics and manufacturing. Enhanced export capabilities can lead to increased national income and reduced trade imbalances, further stabilizing the economy. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of resin commodity exports in driving economic growth in Indonesia. It provides actionable insights for policymakers to strengthen the resin sector, improve product quality, and expand market access. By focusing on sustainable practices and technological advancements, Indonesia can capitalize on its natural resource wealth, fostering job creation and elevating living standards across local communities.

Abstract

This study examines economic rent capture and maritime competitiveness within Southeast Asian economies along the Malacca Strait, a key global trade and energy corridor. While previous research emphasizes maritime security and geopolitical rivalry, this study focuses on maritime economic integration and value distribution among littoral states. A mixed-method approach combining geopolitical economy analysis with panel data assessment was employed, covering 2010–2024. Key indicators include port throughput, logistics performance, trade integration, and maritime industrialization, compiled from UNCTAD, World Bank, IMF, ASEAN reports, and national statistics. Findings show that maritime competitiveness increasingly relies on logistics integration, institutional efficiency, digital maritime systems, and industrial ecosystem development rather than geographic location alone. Panel regression results indicate that logistics performance and maritime industrialization significantly enhance economic outcomes among Southeast Asian maritime economies. Despite Indonesia’s geographic advantage within the Strait, its economic value capture remains constrained by fragmented logistics, limited integration of maritime services, and uneven industrial coordination. This study contributes to the literature by integrating maritime geopolitics, logistics governance, and geo-economic perspectives in a unified framework. It proposes a strategic policy framework emphasizing maritime industrialization, smart-port integration, logistics sovereignty, and ecosystem-based maritime development to enhance Indonesia’s competitiveness within the evolving Indo-Pacific economy.
