ABSTRACT
The pattern of economic growth in Indonesia between 1995 and 2005 was analyzed to determine structural changes that
occurred in Indonesia. A hypothetical analysis of Deviation from Proportional Growth was used in this study to better
understand the structural change of a country by assuming a virtual economic structure. The author analyzed the Indonesian
National Input-Output Table of 1995, 2000, and 2005 extracted from the Asian International Input-Output Table. A
comparative study was also conducted for Malaysia and Thailand during the same period. The results revealed a shift away
from the agricultural sector towards non-agricultural sectors in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand between 1995 and 2005,
confirming the existence of industrialization in these countries. Although the countries had a similar pattern of growth which
is contributed mainly by the expansion of export from 1995–2000, the pattern of growth among the three countries was
divergent from 2000–2005.
