PENGARUH INFRASTRUKTUR DAN KELEMBAGAAN TERHADAP KINERJA EKSPOR AGREGAT DAN SEKTORAL INDONESIA
Abstract: Export performance
of a country is influenced by many aspects, some of which include
infrastructure and institutionalization. The major problem that is faced by
Indonesia is the low quality of infrastructure and institutionalization; as a
result, the trading cost is relatively high. If this is not dealt immediately,
it will cause a decline in the Indonesian export performance. This research was
aimed to analyze the influence of infrastructure and institutionalization as
well as other related variables on the performance of aggregate export,
agricultural materials, foods, and manufactures of Indonesia. The research used
secondary data with time series between 2005 and 2013 and cross-section of the
Indonesian export main target countries. The research used a gravity model with
fixed-effect estimation methods. The results of the research showed that
infrastructure and institutionalization as well as other related variables
influenced the Indonesian export flows. Based on the findings mentioned above,
in order to increase Indonesian export, it is important to improve the
infrastructure and institutionalization performances that are related, firstly,
to the capacity and quality of transportation infrastructure, especially roads
and ports; secondly, to optimization of communication information technology,
especially the use of e-marketing; thirdly, to increased quality of Indonesian
governance, especially control of corruption, rule of law, regulatory quality
and government effectiveness; and fourthly to acceleration of export duration
and simplification of export permit document.
Furthermore, Indonesia needs to review its import tariff policy that
applies to export target countries and also review whether it is necessary to
improve domestic support.
