Abstract

This study aims to assess the impact of road and port infrastructure quality of Indonesia and its trade partners, on Indonesia’s export performance in total as well as on three commodity groups, consisting of mineral, base metals, and manufactured products. Using the Gravity Model with panel data from bilateral export value with 18 largest trade partners in 2007 to 2018, this study found that the proxy of transportation infrastructure quality of both countries are significant and positively impact Indonesia’s total export performance. This study also found that better transportation infrastructure quality has stronger impacts on base metals and manufactured products rather than mineral products, considering each characteristics.

Bahasa Abstract

Studi ini bertujuan untuk melihat dampak dari perkembangan kualitas infrastruktur transportasi, yaitu jalan dan pelabuhan, dari Indonesia maupun mitra dagang terhadap kinerja ekspor Indonesia secara total maupun berdasarkan tiga kelompok komoditas, yaitu mineral, logam dasar, dan manufaktur. Dengan mengadaptasi Model Gravitasi dan menggunakan data panel nilai ekspor dengan 18 mitra dagang terbesar di tahun 2007 hingga 2018, studi ini menemukan bahwa kualitas infrastruktur transportasi jalan dan pelabuhan dari kedua negara memberikan dampak positif dan signifikan dalam mempengaruhi kinerja ekspor Indonesia secara total. Kemudian, perkembangan kualitas infrastruktur transportasi cenderung memberikan dampak yang lebih kuat terhadap kelompok komoditas logam dasar dan manufaktur dibandingkan dengan, dengan mempertimbangkan karakteristik dari masing-masing kelompok komoditas.
