Abstract

This study revisits the relationship among regional economic welfare, human development, and poverty in Banda Aceh City, Indonesia, over the period 2000-2024. Poverty is specified as the dependent variable, while Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita and the Human Development Index (HDI) are specified as the independent variables. The study is situated within the growth-poverty, human development, and inclusive growth literature and is motivated by the substantial structural transformation experienced by Banda Aceh following the 2004 tsunami, post-disaster reconstruction, service-sector expansion, and post-pandemic recovery. Using annual secondary data obtained from official statistical publications and multiple linear regression analysis, the findings indicate that GRDP per capita has a positive and statistically significant association with poverty, whereas HDI has a negative and statistically significant association with poverty. The positive GRDP-poverty relationship suggests that rising average regional income has not automatically translated into pro-poor outcomes, possibly because the benefits of economic growth have been unevenly distributed or concentrated in sectors with limited absorption of low-income labor. Conversely, the negative HDI-poverty relationship underscores the importance of human capital, health, education, and welfare-enhancing capabilities in reducing poverty. This study contributes city-level evidence from Aceh and highlights the need to shift the policy emphasis from aggregate output expansion toward inclusive, labor-absorbing, and human development-oriented growth.

Abstract

Innovation is a key driver of national competitiveness, and its advancement increasingly relies on the strength of governance quality. However, empirical evidence linking governance performance to national innovation outcomes in the Indonesian literature remains limited. This study addresses this gap by assessing how the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI), used as a proxy for governance quality, affect Indonesia’s innovation capability as measured by the Global Innovation Index (GII). The analysis also incorporates additional factors that commonly influence innovation capabilities, including economic growth, foreign direct investment, and the labor force. By adopting a decomposition model to evaluate the individual contributions of each WGI dimension, and employing Gaussian Identity-link GLMs and robust least squares methods, the results show that governance quality overall has a positive and significant effect on Indonesia’s GII. When each component of the WGI is assessed individually, most dimensions display positive effects, with voice and accountability, political stability, and rule of law showing notably significant impacts. These findings imply that strengthening governance structures, particularly in transparency, stability, and legal certainty, is essential for advancing Indonesia’s innovation capability.
