The ranks of Indonesian and Japanese industrial sectors: A further study

[摘要] The purpose of the current study is to extend the previous study which analyzes the industrial sectors ranks of specific countries. More specifically, the study aims to conduct a further analysis regarding the ranks by using the new data as well as new analysis periods. The study focuses on the cases of Indonesia and Japan. In this study, the analysis period of the Indonesian case is 2010 while for the case of Japan is 2011. Using the previous study as a reference, the study employs the Input-Output (IO) approach as an analysis device. As with the previous study, the results of this study show that the orders of the ranks depend on the methods used. Nevertheless, from the results, one can argue that the electricity and gas industry was a leading sector in the Indonesian economy in 2010. On the other hand, for the case of Japan, the competitive sector in the Japanese economy in 2011 was the manufacturing industry. In terms of the leading sectors, the current study is different from the previous one.
