DEKOMPOSISI PERTUMBUHAN DAN DIVERSIFIKASI EKSPOR NON MIGAS INDONESIA

This study aims to determine the role of export growth components of the Indonesian non oil and gas which experienced significant growth in 2010 as well as to analyze the recent export structure. Basically, the study follows the paper of Amiti and Freud (2007) which examined the contribution of new varieties to export growth using two complementary methods. The first is a decomposition of export growth into new, disappearing, and existing varieties and offers more information on the magnitude of export creation and destruction. The second is the Feenstra Index of net export variety growth which provides an indication of the importance of new varieties in trade. The results of analysis showed that the growth of Indonesian export of non oil and gas was mainly driven by high export growth of existing products (the intensive margin) rather than in new varieties (the extensive margin), particularly during the economic recovery in 2010. In addition, the small net variety growth indicates the less importance of extensive margin on Indonesian export growth. According to the region, Asia is still a major export destination contributing for the highest intensive and extensive margin. Therefore, the government is expected to maintain the sustainability of the existing export products and the Asia market.
