Article Plant Size, Turnover and Productivity in Malaysian Manufacturing(2010) Doğan, Ergun; Wong, Koi NyenMalaysian manufacturing has an asymmetrical structure: small and medium-sized enterprises dominate in numbers, but contribute relatively little to total output, employment, and exports as compared to their larger counterparts. In light of an increasingly competitive environment arising from globalization, a sound knowledge of turnover patterns within the sector by plant size and its potential impact on aggregate productivity growth is imperative. We find that turnover, particularly of large plants, makes a substantial contribution to overall productivity growth in manufacturing. Hence, from a policy perspective, facilitating turnover might be as important as supporting existing plants in promoting aggregate productivity growth.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Real Exchange Rates and Job Flows: Evidence From Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Islam, M. Qamarul; Yazici, Mehmet; Dogan, ErgunThis study investigates the effects of the real exchange rate on job flows in Turkish manufacturing industries between 2006 and 2015 using data at the four-digit NACE Revision 2 level. Using dynamic panel data models, we find that a real appreciation increases gross and net job creation rates, and that the effect of appreciation is magnified as the exposure to international competitiveness of industries increases. We think that this is because Turkish manufacturing firms import a greater share of their inputs compared to the firms in developed countries. Hence, an appreciation creates more jobs because lower imported input costs enable firms to outcompete foreign producers.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 9Turnover, Ownership and Productivity in Malaysian Manufacturing(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2013) Dogan, Ergun; Wong, Koi Nyen; Yap, Michael M. C.Applying Foster, Haltiwanger, and Krizan's decomposition of productivity growth method to Malaysian manufacturing census data for 2000 and 2005, we analyze if firm turnover by ownership (domestic vs. foreign) has any impact on the sector's aggregate productivity growth. The findings show that turnover matters regardless of ownership, but more importantly, attracting foreign direct investment inflows could induce positive net entry effect'. The analysis shows that large-sized foreign and domestic entrants are more productive than medium-sized and especially small-sized ones. The study provides important implications for government policies based on ownership and firm size.
