What is the impact of Chinese import penetration on the South African manufacturing sector? -- 5. What is the impact of global trade uncertainty and the exchange rate volatility on the manufacturing sector? -- 6. How does activity in manufacturing sector respond to trade and exchange rate shocks? Evidence from trade-openness and import penetration thresholds -- 7. What is the impact of imports by stage of production on the manufacturing sector output and employment growth? -- 8. What is the impact of imports by stage of production and the manufacturing sector investment growth? -- 9.

What is the role of business and consumer confidence in amplifying the transmission of positive shocks into the manufacturing sector? -- 15.

Did monetary policy cycles propagate the impact of credit and financial cycles on activity in the manufacturing sector during 2005Q1 and 2008Q3? -- 22. What was the role of demand shocks, supply shocks, productivity shocks and monetary policy shocks on the manufacturing sector during 2005Q1 and 2008Q3? -- 23. The role of electricity price shocks on the manufacturing sector output and employment growth -- 24. What is the impact of the manufacturing sector output and sub-sector employment growth on the labour absorption and participation rates? -- 25. What is the nature of the output-employment in the manufacturing sector? Evidence from the manufacturing subsectors -- 26. What are the effects of the minimum wage and productivity growth on the manufacturing sector output and employment growth? -- 27. What is the impact of market income concentration and the mergers and acquisitions channel on the manufacturing sector? This book examines the global and domestic factors that have influenced the decline of South African manufacturing. Quantitative and econometric techniques are used to analyse the macroeconomic conditions that derive improved performance within the manufacturing sector. Empirical evidence is used to set out policy recommendations that would allow the South African National Development Plan to meet its objectives. This books aims to bring together analysis of industrial policy, competition policy, and merger remedies to produce a framework on how to preserve a competitive environment and support output, investment, and employment growth. It is relevant to those interested in African, development, and labour economics HTTP:URL=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-55148-3 |
