摘要

本研究利用马来西亚统计局1987年至2018年的数据，以及考虑到劳动力再分配带来的静态和动态效率收益的分解，证明马来西亚经历了从农业驱动型经济向服务业驱动型经济的结构转型。然而，与普遍看法相反，该国在过去三十年中人均产出的惊人增长在很大程度上不能归因于其结构转型，而是归因于部门内劳动生产率的持续增长。劳动力部门间再分配对人均产出增长的贡献为3%，相对较低。

From Farms to Factories and Firms—Structural Transformation and Labor Productivity Growth in Malaysia*

Abstract Using data from the Department of Statistics Malaysia from 1987 to 2018 and decompositions that take account of both the static and dynamic efficiency gains from labor reallocation, this study documents that Malaysia has undergone structural transformation from an agriculture-driven to a services-driven economy. In contrast to common perceptions, however, the country's impressive growth in output per capita over the last three decades can largely be attributed not to its structural transformation but instead to sustained growth in within-sector labor productivity. At 3 percent, the contribution of between-sector reallocation of labor to output per capita growth has been relatively low.

期刊介绍： The journal Asian Economic Papers (AEP) is supported by several prominent institutions, including the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University in the United States. This shows that there is a strong emphasis on sustainable development within the journal's scope. Additionally, the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy in South Korea, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) in Malaysia, and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia in Indonesia also sponsor AEP. The articles published in AEP focus on conducting thorough and rigorous analyses of significant economic issues pertaining to specific Asian economies or the broader Asian region. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of these issues and provide innovative solutions. By offering creative solutions to economic challenges, AEP contributes to the discourse and policymaking that impact the Asian economies and region as a whole.
