Abstract

Numerous papers have examined the effect of national income on FDI using cross-country data, including in developing countries. However, few papers focus on one specific region, particularly in ASEAN developing countries.  This study analyzes the effect of GDP growth on FDI in ASEAN-5 countries from 2004 to 2019. Panel data regression with fixed effect estimation was performed to document the relationship between GDP growth and FDI. Using some macroeconomic control variables, the findings demonstrated that GDP growth has a positive and significant impact on the FDI.  Additionally, the effects of the currency rate, trade openness, and inflation on FDI are positive. Therefore, macroeconomic performances such as GDP growth, exchange rate, trade openness, and inflation are the main factors attracting FDI in ASEAN-5 countries.

Abstract

During economic uncertainty following the COVID-19 pandemic, social assistance is vital for alleviating the economic burden on the poor and vulnerable to poverty, particularly those residing in island-based areas. The research aims to measure the performance of social assistance programs in the regional economy of the North Maluku Archipelago Province. The study employs Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to measure efficiency values, with input variables including social aid, unemployment, and inflation, while the output variable is poverty. The results reveal that social assistance is ineffective in reducing poverty. Several obstacles, including the minimal budget allocation, inaccuracies in identifying assistance recipients, and insufficient time for aid distribution are identified as primary causes of the inefficiency of social aid programs. Updating poverty data into one unified and integrated dataset is essential for the efficiency distribution of social assistance. Accurate targeting and timely distribution are the keys to the effectiveness of social assistance programs in reducing poverty.

Abstract

The financial sector is critical to improving economic growth and cannot be separated from a country's economic growth. Consequently, financial deepening is an effort by the financial sector to reduce dependence on offshore savings. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of financial deepening on Indonesia's economic growth by looking at various variables such as M2/GDP, Banking Credit, Inflation, Bank Indonesia Interest Rate, and Exchange Rate. The secondary data used in this study ranges from 2010 Q1 to 2022 Q4. This study uses the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The results showed that the variables M2/GDP, Banking Credit, and Bank Indonesia Interest Rate have a significant positive influence on Economic Growth. In contrast, Inflation and Exchange Rate variables have a significant positive effect on Economic Growth.

Abstract

This research is designed to investigate regional differences in human development in Indonesia based on the Human Development Index (HDI) as a main indicator. With the use of the Theil Index decomposition method, this paper investigates the intra- and inter-regional disparities in Java vs. outside Java and KBI vs. KTI (Western Indonesia-Eastern Indonesia). Furthermore, the study uses convergence models (σ- and β-convergence) to examine the speed at which zones with lower HDI access regions with higher HDI. The dataset employed in the study was data from various competencies at each regency-cities in Indonesia during its period of 2010-2021, which was publicly available at the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The findings show a significant decrease in human development disparities over time, although the convergence process remains slow. Intra-regional inequality contributes more significantly to the overall disparity than inter-regional inequality, particularly within the KBI-KTI dichotomy. This study suggests that while Indonesia is on a path toward reducing regional disparities, more targeted policy interventions are needed to accelerate the convergence process, particularly in underdeveloped regions like Eastern Indonesia.
