Track: Case Studies

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the roles of construction sectors in the Indonesian national economy. This study uses Input-Output (IO) analysis as an analysis device. More specifically, this study employs the parts of IO analysis, namely simple output multiplier, simple household income multiplier, index of the power of dispersion, and index of the sensitivity of dispersion as analysis tools. The analysis period of this study is 1990-2005. In this study, the analyzed sectors are (1) construction on agriculture, (2) public work on road, bridge, and harbor, (3) construction and installation on electricity, gas, water supply, and communication, and (4) other construction. The results show that, by using both multipliers, the analyzed construction sectors did not include in the top five Indonesian industrial sectors from 1990 through 2005. By using both indices, the analyzed industries almost always occupied the quadrant IV on the period of analysis.
