The Impact of Biochemical Oxygen Demand Emissions on Malaysia`s Manufacturing Productivity Growth

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines the impact of organic water pollutant biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) emissions on Malaysia`s manufacturing sector productivity growth and the factors that determine its growth. Exclusion of externalities such as BOD pollutant emissions created a deficiency in growth accounting models as those BOD pollutant emissions were internalized in order to calculate the green total factor productivity (TFP). The results show a slowdown in the contribution of TFP growth and a negative impact of BOD pollutant emissions produced by the sector on productivity growth in general and TFP growth in particular in comparison with other productivity indictors of the sector.
