N2 - The importance of R&D spillovers for productivity growth has been well-documented in
the literature. While studies in the context of developed countries have extensively
focused on sectoral linkages, research on North-South spillovers has been largely
confined to the aggregate level. This paper assesses the contribution of international
R&D spillovers to manufacturing performance in Indonesia at the sectoral level of
manufacturing. Drawing on OECD and Indonesian data sources, we consider two distinct
periods: an early period characterised by intense policy regulations followed by a period
of liberalisation and reform. Our results indicate a significant contribution of international
technology spillovers to the performance of Indonesian manufacturing, especially after
liberalisation, with the notable importance of sectoral characteristics and industrial
market structure.
Keywords: Indonesia, productivity growth, technology spillovers, international trade,
