Abstract
Technology in the globalization era is difficult to be avoided in daily life. This study aims to estimate the impact of technological growth on economic performance in Indonesia using a Total Factor Productivity (TFP) method. The results indicate that technological growth in Indonesia during 1981-2012 is 0.87 percent, contributes up to 30.48 percent to economic growth. The results of econometric analysis suggest that technological growth will increase not only economic growth but also the unemployment rate, implying that technological growth in Indonesia creates jobs destruction than jobs creation. Keywords: Technological growth, TFP, economic growth, unemployment rate JEL classification number: O11, O47 Abstrak Teknologi di era globalisasi sulit untuk dihindarkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.
