| Summary: | In Indonesia, regions have important roles to develop the nation. The
development discourse in Indonesia is mainly based on decentralization. This
means that local governments have responsibilities to develop their regions. Thus,
they have to know their local potency, to make the development process
sustainable. One way to do it is by exploring the comparative advantage.
Understanding the comparative advantage will be a good foundation to develop
the region. It will guide the local government to direct the progress so that it is
suitable with the potentials of the region.
We use three types of analyses: analysis of existing condition, input-output
analysis, and modified product mapping. The existing condition is needed as the
foundation of our main analysis to make clear that the policy recommendation
will be applicable. The input-output analysis is used to discover the economic
structure of Tegal Regency. We need this step to understand the real condition in
the regency fully (Pressman, 2006). The modified product mapping is used to
understand the industries� possession of comparative advantage. The analysis is
conducted based on GRDP industries classification.
The result shows that Tegal Regency government will be better off to
concentrate in developing (1) food processing industry, (2) transport equipment
and machinery industry, (3) other manufacturing (metal refinery) industry, (4)
textile and footwear industry, and (5) trade. By expanding those industries, it is
expected that other industries will also develop. The final goal is to achieve
smooth and sustainable economic growth of Tegal Regency. |
