Cost efficiency, Economies of Scale, Technological Progress and Productivity in Indonesian Banks

This study estimates cost efficiency, scale economies, technological progress and productivity growth for Indonesian banks over the period 1993-2000. Overall the cost efficiency of all banks during this period was 69.82%. However, on average the efficiency of banks prior to the Asian crisis and after the Asian crisis were 79.67% and 53.40% respectively. Moreover, the results also indicate that ...

Diversity and Technological Progress

This paper proposes a tractable model to study the equilibrium diversity of technological progress and shows that equilibrium technological progress may exhibit too little diversity (too much conformity), in particular, foregoing socially bene…cial investments in “alternative”technologies that will be used at some point in the future. The presence of future innovations that will replace current...

The Dynamics Of Industrial Technological Capability In Indonesian Economic Development

This paper attempts to understand the structure underlining the weakness of the Indonesian economic development strategy in a systemic perspective. The explanation assumes the importance of industrial technological capability within the framework of the techno-economic structure. The results of a simulated model of techno-economic administration show the weakness of the industrial technological...

Technological Progress and Sectoral Shares

This paper studies the effect of differences in the rate of technological progress between sectors on the relative sizes of those sectors in terms of revenues. There are two sectors: a stagnant sector, where productivity does not change over time, and a progressive sector, where costs decrease over time due to exogenous technological progress. We consider a conjectural variation approach to com...
