Abstract

The direct cash transfer (BLT) program is still one of the assistance programs maintained to reduce poverty and to increase welfare in Indonesia. Cash transfers are considered to be able to protect people's purchasing power and consumption due to various pressures such as price increases, where purchasing power and consumption can reflect welfare. Despite the pros and cons, this type of assistance is still maintained because it has its own advantages. A number of researchers have analyzed the effectiveness of cash transfer programs, but unfortunately they are limited to government cash transfer programs and limited to non-government cash transfer programs, so there is a need for research that examines the effectiveness of both government and non-government cash transfer programs with household data and comparisons between the two. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of government and non-government cash transfer programs and measure whether they are effective in improving welfare, which in this case means increasing non-food expenditures of beneficiaries. This study uses the propensity score matching method and data from the 2014 Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS). The results show that both programs affect the increase in non-food expenditure, but the government-run BLT program increases non-food expenditure at a higher rate.AbstrakProgram bantuan langsung tunai (BLT) masih menjadi salah satu program bantuan yang dipertahankan untuk mengurangi kemiskinan dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan di Indonesia. BLT dianggap dapat melindungi daya beli masyarakat dan konsumsi akibat berbagai macam tekanan seperti kenaikan harga, di mana daya beli dan konsumsi dapat menggambarkan kesejahteraan. Meskipun terdapat pro dan kontra, jenis bantuan ini tetap dipertahankan sebab memiliki kelebihan tersendiri. Sejumlah peneliti telah menganalisis efektivitas dari program BLT, sayangnya hanya terbatas pada program BLT yang berasal dari pemerintah saja, dan terbatas bagi yang nonpemerintah sehingga dibutuhkan penelitian yang membahas efektivitas bantuan dari pemerintah maupun dari nonpemerintah dengan data rumah tangga dan perbandingan di antara keduanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis efektifitas program BLT dari pemerintah maupun nonpemerintah dan mengukur apakah keduanya efektif dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan, yang dalam hal ini meningkatkan pengeluaran nonmakanan penerima bantuan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode propensity score matching dan menggunakan data Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2014. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa keduanya memengaruhi peningkatan pengeluaran nonmakanan, namun BLT yang dijalankan oleh pemerintah meningkatkan pengeluaran nonmakanan lebih tinggi.

Abstract

Indonesia was experiencing trade globalization in the form of decreasing and uniforming tariffs and eliminating various non-tariff barriers. Trade globalization had a positive and negative impacts on Indonesian’s welfare. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of Trade’s Globalization on Indonesian’s Welfare. The Trade globalization was measured by three variables, namely Trade Openness, Inflation, and Exchange Rate. While Indonesian’s Welfare was measured by three aspects, namely education aspect using School Enrollment, health aspect using Life Expectancy, and economic aspect using the GDP Per capita. The data used was time series data from 1971-2016. This study applied mix-methods, quantitatively using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) and qualitatively using desk study. The results indicated that Trade Openness and Exchange Rate were positive and significant indicators in measuring Trade globalization. In addition, School Enrollment and GDP Per capita were also positive and significant indicators in measuring Indonesian’s Welfare. In general, the test showed that Trade globalization had a negative and significant influence on Indonesian’s Welfare. This fact suggested the importance of controlling exchange rate stability in Indonesia, because exchange rate could affect people’s ability to maintain lives through purchasing power. In addition, globalization measured through Trade Openness could be an accommodation to obtain new technology in various fields, such as in education to improve the quality of human resources, in health sector to treat various diseases and reduce the risk of death, and in economy sector to increase Per capita income.

Abstract

Labor is one of the important inputs affecting shocks in economy. Various economic problems increase when unemployment is high. High volatility (uncertainty) at prices (this study used inflation), is a risk for the company. When facing the uncertainty, the company can choose to delay investing and change the decisions in recruitment plan; it is used to collect the information about prices before investing (this concept called Irreversible Investment), subsequently cause a reduction in labor absorption. Moreover, this uncertainty is a cost for the company. This condition makes it difficult for companies to determine the optimal number and combination of inputs (including labor), as consequences the company has to decide reducing the inputs. Inflation Targeting Framework (ITF) is one of the frameworks used by Bank Indonesia and the government to reduce and stabilize inflation. There are pros and cons of the irreversible investment concept and the success of the ITF. This study aims to determine whether uncertainty in inflation (illustrated by inflation volatility) affects investment and labor absorption. In addition, it is to find out whether the ITF has succeeded in making inflation stable and affecting other macroeconomic variables. The data used are annual data from volatility of inflation, employment, investment, GDP and ITF dummy. This study used three sectors in Indonesia, for instance, the industrial; trade, restaurants, accommodation services and transportation sector; and transportation, warehousing and communication, because of limited data. The result of this study was that volatility affect the labor absorption, both directly and indirectly (through investment). Furthermore, the ITF has affected the volatility of inflation.
