Industrializing Malaysia
Author: K. S. Jomo
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134863918
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
Despite growing concern over environmental issues and the sustainability of economic growth, industrialization is still generally associated with progress and development. This is particularly true of developing countries where industrialization is often the nation's top priority. Industrializing Malaysia presents a critical analysis of the experience of industrialization in Malaysia, examining the role, impact and efficacy of post-independence industrialization policies. The author refocuses attention on some major intended as well as unintended implications and consequences of policies and performance. A wide range of issues is covered: in addition to general historical commentaries and sectoral studies, there are analyses of direct foreign investment, technology, linkages, free trade zones, industrial estates, and rural development.

Economic Impacts and Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Malaysia
Author: Sabariah Nordin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Investments, Foreign
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
The flows of world foreign direct investment (FDI) have been increasing; however, there has been a shift in the inflows of FDI from developed to developing countries. The shift raises questions on the factors that have attracted the inflows of FDI despite the benefits believed to be brought by FDI on the host economy. Thus, the objectives of this study are to examine determinants of inward flows of FDI, determine the impact of FDI on economic growth and examine the impact of FDI on employment, particularly in Malaysia. In examining the determinants of FDI, this study employed the bounds test (ARDL) approach for the study period between 1970 to 2009. Results indicate the existence of co-integration relationships among underlying variables. Trade openness and exchange rates are found to be the most robust and consistent variables in the short run and long run. Trade openness is found to be positive and significant, while exchange rates are found to be negative and significant in influencing the inward flows of FDI. In determining the impact of FDI on economic growth, this study utilized the Johansen-Juselius VECM approach for the period between 1970 to 2012. Based on the model which comprised of real GDP, FDI, trade openness and government development expenditure, this study proves the existence of a long run relationship among the variables with FDI and trade openness exert a positive and significant influence on the Malaysian economic growth. Finally, in examining the impact of FDI on the Malaysian employment condition, this study applied a panel data analysis of pooled, random and fixed effects models. The underlying variables are employment, FDI, real wages and gross output of five different sub-sectors for the period between 2000 to 2010. Results of robust fixed effects indicate that only the gross output is positive and significant in influencing employment.

The Labor Market and Economic Adjustment
Author: Pierre-Richard Agénor
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1451854781
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
This paper examines the role of the labor market in the transmission process of adjustment policies in developing countries. It begins by reviewing the recent evidence regarding the functioning of these markets. It then studies the implications of wage inertia, nominal contracts, labor market segmentation, and impediments to labor mobility for stabilization policies. The effect of labor market reforms on economic flexibility and the channels through which labor market imperfections alter the effects of structural adjustment measures are discussed next. The last part of the paper identifies a variety of issues that may require further investigation, such as the link between changes in relative wages and the distributional effects of adjustment policies.
