Abstract

This study examines the impact of research and development (R&D), competition, and market share on the productivity of Indonesian chemical firms. There were 568 firms under this study for the period of 13 years so that the total observation was 7,384. The estimation of the firm-level data is conducted using three methods of panel data: random effect, fixed effect, and general method of moment. The results show that R&D is a significant factor increasing firms’ productivity, the competition of firms in the chemical industry provides a positive and significant effect on productivity and the market share of a firm influences push-up the firm’s productivity. These findings implicate the importance of R&D, competition, and market share in boosting firms’ productivity in Indonesian chemical sector.
