Technology Development, Net Exports and National Productivity

Abstract

This study aims to understand the development of technology, net exports, and national productivity. This study uses secondary data from world banks and processed regression using the moving average autoregression method. We find that technology is positively related to gross domestic product and net exports is negatively related to the gross domestic product which is an indicator of national productivity. Based on the estimation, technology development or technology investment in Indonesia tends to be import-based so that it suppresses net exports and results in a decrease in net exports in line with technology development, even though technology investment in the form of high technology development encourages economic growth.
