Abstract

Contemporary issues and policy debate related to the environment or immigration reforms have the potential to affect Malaysia’s factor supplies and consequently agricultural production and trade. Likewise, changes in Malaysia’s export demand through trade policy reforms or income changes in importing countries can also affect domestic factor markets. However, to date very little is known empirically about the nature and extent of Malaysia’s factor markets-trade linkages. This paper employs a partial equilibrium commodity model to analyze the impacts of shifts in factor supplies and export demand in the Malaysian oil palm sub-sector. Given the data used in the study, factor supply shifts are shown to have smaller effects on output production relative to exports demand shifts.
