[ABSTRAK
Industri Pengolahan Karet dan Barang Karet di Indonesia mempunyai potensiyang besar untuk dikembangkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisispengaruh ekspor terhadap pertumbuhan produktivitas industri pengolahan karetdan barang karet di Indonesia. Pertumbuhan Produktivitas dihitung dengan DataEnvelopment Analysis dan didekomposisikan menjadi perubahan efisiensi sertaperubahan teknis. Dari hasil estimasi didapat bahwa pertumbuhan produktivitasindustri pengolahan karet dan barang karet di Indonesia masih relatif rendah.Fixed Effect Model digunakan untuk menganalisis pengaruh ekspor terhadappertumbuhan produktivitas. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa perusahaan yangberorientsi ekspor mempunyai pertumbuhan produktivitas yang lebih tinggi.Perusahaan yang melakukan ekspor akan cenderung untuk berinovasi danmeningkatkan teknologi untuk bertahan di pasar internasional sehingga memilikiproduktivitas yang relatif lebih tinggi dan stabil.

ABSTRACT
Rubber manufacturing industries in Indonesia has the opportunity to be world?sleading producer. This research aims to investigate the effect of export onproductivity growth. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is use to computeMalmquist productivity Index as a measurement of productivity growth.Productivity growth decomposed into efficiency change and technical change.The estimation shows that productivity growth of rubber manufactring industry isstil relatively low. Fixed Effect Model used to analyse the effect of export onproductivity growth with 226 sample of firm. The result shows that a exportoriented firms performed a significant role to productivity growth. Exporters tendto increase innovation and technology to improve their productivity;Rubber manufacturing industries in Indonesia has the opportunity to be world?sleading producer.
