Measuring Embodies Technological Change in Indonesian Textiles: The Core-Machinery Approach
提出基于工程视角的核心机器方法来测量资本存量中的体现型技术变革，并将其应用于印度尼西亚纺织业，与传统价格法比较，讨论新方法的优劣与适用性。
This article focuses on the measurement of embodied technological change. It develops the core-machinery approach to capital measurement, which is based on an engineering perspective on technological change. Using technical characteristics of different types of machinery, technical progress in the capital stock can be decomposed into incremental innovation in existing machinery and radical shifts to new technologies. The usefulness of this approach is illustrated by an analysis of embodied technological change in the Indonesian spinning and weaving industries. The core-machinery measure is compared with more traditional measures of the capital stock which are based on price information. Strengths, weaknesses and relevance of the new measure are discussed.
