Abstract

Abstract:After some initial euphoria, the SIJORI Growth Triangle — formed by Singapore, Johor (Malaysia) and Riau Islands (Indonesia) — seems to have been forgotten. The growth triangle concept was developed to enhance the attractiveness of the three territories for foreign investment. This paper aims to explore whether firms in the oil and gas industry are making use of the different factor endowments accessible in close spatial proximity. Based on FDI data and expert interviews, it is observed that Singaporean firms are, in fact, taking advantage of the different factor endowments that SIJORI offers, especially in sectors related to storage and and offshore equipment manufacturing. However, in the case of Johor and Riau Islands, the focus continues to be on lower value-added activities.

SIJORI增长三角：石油和天然气行业外国直接投资的领土互补还是竞争？

摘要：在最初的兴奋之后，由新加坡、马来西亚柔佛和印度尼西亚廖内岛组成的SIJORI增长三角似乎已经被遗忘了。发展三角概念是为了提高这三个地区对外国投资的吸引力。本文旨在探讨石油和天然气行业的企业是否利用了在空间上接近的不同要素禀赋。根据外国直接投资数据和专家访谈，可以观察到，事实上，新加坡公司正在利用SIJORI提供的不同要素禀赋，特别是在与存储和海上设备制造相关的部门。然而，就柔佛岛和廖内岛而言，重点仍然是低附加值的活动。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Southeast Asian Economies (JSEAE) is a peer-reviewed multi-disciplinary journal focusing on economic issues in Southeast Asia. JSEAE features articles based on original research, research notes, policy notes, review articles and book reviews, and welcomes submissions of conceptual, theoretical and empirical articles preferably with substantive policy discussions. Original research articles and research notes can be country studies or cross-country comparative studies. For quantitative-oriented articles, authors should strive to ensure that their work is accessible to non-specialists. Submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer-review process – two reviewers for original research articles and one reviewer for research notes and policy notes. The journal is published three times a year: April, August and December.
