Abstract

This study discusses the effect of economic agglomeration on the productivity of manufacturing industry companies by using case studies on the island of Java which is the location of more than 80 percent of large and medium industrial companies in Indonesia. The company productivity used in this study is the total factor productivity (TFP) with the economic agglomeration variable used is localization economies, urbanization economies, and competition. The results showed that agglomeration in the form of urbanization economies had a positive and significant effect on the total growth of company productivity factors, whereas agglomeration in the form of localization economies had a negative effect. Increased business competition due to the company's spatial concentration also has a positive impact on productivity. Thus, spatial concentration in the form of industrial diversity and improving conditions of business competition in the district / city area have a positive impact on increasing the scale of the company's production and need to be considered in the industrial regional policy making process.

Bahasa Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas tentang pengaruh aglomerasi ekonomi terhadap produktivitas perusahaan industri manufaktur dengan menggunakan studi kasus di pulau Jawa yang merupakan lokasi dari lebih 80 persen perusahaan industri besar dan sedang yang ada di Indonesia. Produktivitas perusahaan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah total faktor produktivitas (TFP) dengan variabel aglomerasi ekonomi yang digunakan adalah localization economies, urbanization economies, dan kompetisi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aglomerasi dalam bentuk urbanization economies berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan total faktor produktivitas perusahaan, sedangkan aglomerasi dalam bentuk localization economies justru berpengaruh negatif. Meningkatnya persaingan usaha karena adanya konsentrasi spasial perusahaan juga berdampak positif pada produktivitas. Dengan demikian, konsentrasi spasial dalam bentuk keberagaman industri serta meningkatkan kondisi persaingan usaha di wilayah kabupaten/kota mempunyai dampak positif bagi peningkatan skala produksi perusahaan dan perlu menjadi hal yang diperhatikan dalam proses pengambilan kebijakan pembangunan perwilayahan industri.
