Adanya perjanjian Asean-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) telah meningkatkan persentase impor produk manufaktur asal Cina di Indonesia. Akibatnya, kompetisi produk yang dihasilkan industri manufaktur domestik dengan produk impor dari Cina semakin meningkat. Persaingan dari produk impor Cina diukur menggunakan penetrasi impor, dimana cara pengukurannya diperkenalkan oleh Bernard, Jensen, & Schott (2006). Tesis ini mengestimasi dampak penetrasi impor dari Cina terhadap upah industri manufaktur di Indonesia dengan menggunakan model fixed effect. Hasil estimasi menunjukkan bahwa penetrasi impor dari Cina berdampak negatif terhadap upah industri manufaktur.

The existence of the Asean-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) agreement has increased the percentage of imports of Chinese manufactured products in Indonesia. Consequently, the competition of products produced by the domestic manufacturing industry with imported products from china is increasing (assuming the products produced by the domestic manufacturing industry may be substituted with imported products from China in the domestic market). Competition from imported products from China is measured using import penetration, where the measurement method is introduced by Bernard, Jensen, & Schott (2006). This thesis estimates the effects of import from China on wages of manufacturing industry in Indonesia by using fixed effect model. The estimation results show that import penetration from China has a negative effect on wage of manufacturing industry.
