Potensi perdagangan luar produk berteknologi tinggi Malaysia
No full textWalaupun tren perdagangan luar Malaysia dalam produk berteknologi tinggi menunjukkan arah aliran yang semakin meningkat, namun kajian secara terperinci mendapati wujud keraguan dari segi kandungan tingkat teknologi yang digunakan. Hal ini kerana sektor pembuatan negara masih tertumpu kepada aktiviti pengeluaran barang-barang komponen elektronik dan bukannya terhadap produk elektronik itu sendiri. Kalaupun produk elektronik, ia hanya melibatkan kerja-kerja pemasangan dan pembungkusan produk yang memerlukan tingkat kemahiran dun berteknologi sederhana serta mempunyai nilai ditambah yang rendah. Tambahan pula, indikator yang berkaitan dengan sains dan teknologi (S&T), penyelidikan dan pembangunan (R&D), pembangunan sumber manusia dan tahap proses inovasi di Malaysia secara relatif adalah masih rendah berbanding dengan beberapa negara lain seperti Singapura dan Korea Selatan. Untuk meningkatkan keupayaan negara, maka langkah-langkah memperkukuh daya saing negara dalam produk berkenaan perlu dilakukan
Long-run and short-run relationships between education and economic growth: The Malaysian experience
No full textThis paper investigates the long and short-run relationships between human capital, measured in terms of average years of schooling for people aged 15 years and older, and economic growth in Malaysia between 1970 and 2009. The data was collected from various sources, including the World Bank database, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and scholarly texts. The Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) test was utilized to examine the relationships between education and economic growth. The results of the co-integration test revealed that economic growth was absolutely exogenous and the remaining variables were endogenous in Malaysia. This finding suggests that the status of these variables depend on the level of economic growth, while the opposite is not true. The most interesting results were that the long-run forcing variables for human capital accumulation were capital stock, employment and economic growth. However, the causality test revealed that economic growth, employment and capital stock, not only affects human capital in the short-run, but in the long-run as well. The causality tests performed detected two-way relationships between human capital and capital stock, and employment separately in the long run. Although economic growth is exogenous, Malaysia should still continue to invest in its human capital accumulation since it could attract more investments and subsequently create employment opportunities within the economy

No full textImpact of labour productivity of the National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs)
No full textUnder the Economic Transformation Program (ETP), three sub-sectors of National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs) have been identified, i.e. petroleum, oil palm and the electrical and electronics sub-sectors. The importance of NKEAs sub-sector to sustain the performance of the Malaysian economy inspired this study to examine the relationship between high skilled labour and its productivity level. Specifically, this paper focuses on the impact of highly skilled labour on productivity levels in sub-sectors of the NKEAs. Highly skilled labour consists of labour from the managerial and professional category, and, semi-skilled labour is the technical and supervisory category. This study utilizes data from Industrial Manufacturing Survey published by the Department of Statistics Malaysia, covering the period from 1985 to 2010. The results show that highly-skilled labour contributes significantly to the productivity of the overall NKEAs, and each sub-sector of the NKEA, except palm oil. Under the NKEAs sub-sectors, it shows only petroleum has a significant contribution to the productivity level both in the managerial and professional category also, technical and supervisory labour. Meanwhile, in the electrical and electronics industry, only managerial and professional labour has contributed significantly. However, in palm oil industry, unskilled labour has a significant contribution to the productivity level. In addition, this study also finds that capital intensity is important in affecting the productivity of the NKEAs sub sectors as well as the productivity of the manufacturing sector
Pertumbuhan ekonomi dan keperluan pendidikan tinggi di Malaysia
No full textKajian Ie pas menunjukkan sis/em pendidikan tinggi berkembang seiring dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi sesebuah negara. Namun begitu, da/am kes ekonorni Malaysia pengangguran siswazah menunjukkan trend yang semakin meningkat terutama dari kalangan rnereka yang memiliki ijazah pertama, tetapi kurang dari kalangan pemegang diploma. Keadaan ini seolah-olah menggambarkan bahawa pasaran kerja tempatan lebih memerlukan pendidikan tinggi peringkat diploma berbanding ijazah pertama, sedangkan perkembangan sistem pendidikan tinggi negara ini lebih cenderong menghasilkan graduan peringkat ijazah per/arna.
Bagi mengelak pembaziran sumber, adalah penting untuk menentukan program pendidikan yang benar-benar menyumbang kepada pertumbuhan ekonomi negara. Artikel ini bertujuan membuat analisis keperluan pendidikan tinggi di Malaysia berdasarkan data pertumbuhan ekonomi dan pendidikan tinggi dari tahun 1975 hingga 2004. Dalam konteks perkembangan pendidikan tinggi di Malaysia, hasil analisis menggunakan kaedah OLS menunjukkan bahawa hanya enrolmen peringkat diploma mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi negara

No full textMengukur daya saing pekerja dalam sektor perkhidmatan di Malaysia: pembentukan indeks daya saing
No full textEkonomi Malaysia perlu berdaya saing untuk menghadapi cabaran globalisasi agar dapat terus kekal maju dan
mampan, terutama dalam sektor peneraju utama pertumbuhan ekonomi negara pada masa hadapan seperti sektor
perkhidmatan. Memandangkan kegiatan dan bentuk output sektor perkhidmatan amat rapat hubungannya dengan input sumber tenaga manusia, maka pasti sekali daya saingnya turut bergantung kepada daya saing pekerjanya. Oleh
itu, adalah penting indeks daya saing pekerja dijadikan sebagai ukuran tingkat daya saing sektor berkenaan. Artikel
ini bertujuan membentuk dan seterusnya menganalisis indeks daya saing pekerja berdasarkan data 1,136 pekerja subsector perkhidmatan meliputi perkhidmatan pendidikan, kesihatan dan ICT. Indeks daya saing yang dibentuk merupakan gabungan kepada indeks kebolehan dan indeks prestasi kerja. Hasil analisis menunjukkan indeks kebolehan pekerja berada pada tahap yang agak tinggi bagi semua sub-sektor perkhidmatan yang dikaji. Sebaliknya, indeks prestasi berada pada tahap yang agak sederhana bagi kesemua sub-sektor berkenaan. Ini menyebabkan indeks komposit daya saing pekerja dalam sektor berkenaan berada pada tahap yang agak sederhana. Analisis selanjutnya menunjukkan bahawa aspek kepuasan kerja dan aspek persekitaran kerja dikenal pasti sebagai faktor yang mempengaruhi tahap daya saing pekerja dalam sektor yang dikaji. Sehubungan itu, untuk meningkatkan daya saing pekerja dalam sub-sektor perkhidmatan terlibat, usaha-usaha perlu diarahkan kepada memperbaiki aspek kepuasan dan persekitaran kerja
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
