Title: Technological Intensity and Export Incidence: A Study of Foreign and Local
	 Auto-Parts, Electronics and Garment Firms in Indonesia
Abstract: This paper attempts to examine differences in technological capabilities between
	 foreign and local auto parts, electronics, and textile and garment firms in
	 Indonesia. Foreign firms enjoyed higher export incidence than local firms in all
	 three industries. Foreign firms enjoyed higher overall technology and HR intensity
	 means than local firms in auto parts and electronics. Foreign firms enjoyed higher
	 and statistically significant process technology mean than local firms in
	 electronics. Foreign firms also enjoyed higher means than local firms in process
	 technology and R&D intensities. The econometric results showed a strong
	 relationship between export-incidence, and overall technological, HR and process
	 technology intensities. Foreign ownership was not only statistically significant
	 and its coefficient positive in the overall sample of the HR regression, but it
	 also emerged that export-incidence was stronger among foreign firms.
	 Export-incidence involving process technology regression was also stronger in the
	 foreign firms' sample
