ABSTRACTThis paper examines total factor productivity (TFP) growth of the Malaysian manufacturing sector from 1983 to 2005. Unlike previous studies that use one source of data, this research uses two sources of data – Malaysian Input-Output Tables and Malaysian Industrial Manufacturing Survey. The motivation for this study was brought about due to the need to present a different method for estimating TFP growth by analysing TFP using the input-output methodology. The results from this study are compared with the results from other studies that use a different method to estimate TFP growth and the findings indicate that the TFP growth is relatively low. In addition, the major source of change in TFP of the manufacturing sector is contributed by intermediate inputs, while the contribution of labour and capital is substantially low.Keywords: input-output method; manufacturing sector; total factor productivity growthABSTRAKArtikel ini mengkaji pertumbuhan produktiviti faktor keseluruhan (TFP) bagi sektor pembuatan Malaysia dari 1983 hingga 2005. Tidak seperti kajian terdahulu yang menggunakan satu sumber data, kajian ini menggunakan dua sumber data iaitu, Jadual Input-Output Malaysia dan data Banci Industri Pembuatan Malaysia. Kajian ini dibuatatas motivasi untuk menganggar pertumbuhan TFP menggunakan kaedah yang berbeza iaitu, kaedah input-output. Hasil kajian ini dibuat perbandingan dengan hasil dapatan kajian lain yang menggunakan kaedah berbeza dalam menganggar pertumbuhan TFP. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa pertumbuhan TFP secara relatifnya adalah rendah. Seterusnya, sumber utama terhadap perubahan dalam TFP sektor pembuatan disumbangkan melalui input pertengahan, sementara sumbangan input buruh dan modal adalah rendah.Kata kunci: kaedah input-output; sektor pembuatan; pertumbuhan produktiviti faktor keseluruhan
