Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the evolution of the Tanzanian manufacturing industry since the beginning of colonial rule, this book focuses on the period since independence and especially on the effects of socialist policies resulting from the 1967 Arusha Declaration. Dr. Silver develops volume indices of production for Tanzanian industry as a whole and for individual sectors. He also examines in detail changes in labor productivity, earnings, unit labor costs, investments, and the prices of manufactured goods, paying special attention to the role of government-controlled parastatals, the regional distribution of manufacturing industries, and income inequality. The rapid growth in production and employment and the changing structure of the manufacturing industry, he concludes, is due to high rates of investment in a small number of relatively large establishments, primarily in the parastatal sector.

Download or read book Africa s manufacturing puzzle Evidence from Tanzanian and Ethiopian firms written by Diao, Xinshen and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent growth accelerations in Africa are characterized by increasing productivity in agriculture, a declining share of the labor force employed in agriculture and declining productivity in modern sectors such as manufacturing. To shed light on this puzzle, we disaggregate firms in the manufacturing sector by size using two newly created panels of manufacturing firms, one for Tanzania covering 2008-2016 and one for Ethiopia covering 1996-2017. Our analysis reveals a dichotomy between larger firms that exhibit superior productivity performance but do not expand employment much, and small firms that absorb employment but do not experience any productivity growth. We suggest the poor employment performance of large firms is related to use of capital-intensive techniques associated with global trends in technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central aim of The Industrial Experience of Tanzania is to explain why the Tanzanian manufacturing sector experienced a long period of stagnation after an initial phase of rapid industrial growth. Tanzania has been an extreme case with a high level of state intervention, but the contributors show that there are lessons to be learnt here for African economies in general. The analysis includes previously unpublished data, and presents important conceptual and methodological advances.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tanzanian economy experienced a significant acceleration over two decades, growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 6% between 1998 and 2018. Within the context of such a positive performance, it is noteworthy that the manufacturing sector did not increase its share of gross domestic product (GDP), which lingered below 10% throughout the same period. The formal manufacturing sector is capital-intensive and highly productive but stagnant, while employment in. This study deploys the Growth Diagnostic framework within Tanzania's manufacturing sector to promote a better understanding of the reasons why the country has failed to achieve its industrialization goals.The most binding factor constraining returns to investment in manufacturing in Tanzania is the availability and quality of electricity supply. Microeconomic failures such as access to land, labor regulations, and red tape seem particularly relevant for international investors and exporters.The structure of Tanzania's manufacturing sector today has been shaped by decades of inward-oriented policies. We have uncovered significant evidence suggesting that import substitution (now referred to as “localization”) continues to be at the core of Tanzania's industrial policy and shapes the incentives for the manufacturing sector today. The subscription to international agreements and trade blocks coexists with an environment that imposes a high regulatory burden on trading industries and restricts trade by means of tariff and non-tariff barriers, achieved by filing numerous exceptions to those treaties to protect individual products and entire domestic industries. Tanzania has managed to develop an inward-oriented manufacturing sector that has made a significant contribution to employment and value added, but remains uncompetitive from an export standpoint. Higher degrees of protection for sub-sectors within manufacturing are associated with higher contributions to value added but lower contributions to exports. Protective policies are biased towards energy and capital-intensive sectors and display a clear anti-export bias. Sectors that enjoy higher levels of protection and represent large shares of value added tend to be more capital intensive and display a moderate-to-high intensity in the use of energy. That, in turn, helps to explain the findings of Diao et al. (2021), who documented that the most productive firms in Tanzania are capital-intensive but do not expand employment, whereas the least productive firms within manufacturing did manage to create employment but at low levels of wages.
