Muzafar Shah Habibullah, . Learning-by-doing in production function: the case of the Malaysian rubber estate sector. pp. 142-151. ISSN 0127-7065

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to determine empirically the role of the learning-by-doing variable by employing the variable elasticity of substitution (VES) production function for the Malaysian rubber estate sector. Results obtained indicate that technical progress defined by learning-by-doing has played an important role in the development of the Malaysian rubber estate sector for the period under study. The results further suggest that the appropriate production function for the Malaysian rubber estate sector is the VES production function specification and capital deepening had positively affected the performance of the Malaysian rubber industry.
