Relative efficiency in utilization of domestic and imported inputs in the Malaysian manufacturing sector, 1983-2005: The case of resources and non resources based industries

The focal point of this study is to examine the efficiency of utilization on intermediate input, particularly in terms of resources and non resources-based industries in the Malaysian manufacturing sector. Since relative efficiency can determine how well an input performed, our main interest rest on...
