Abstract

Natural resources may become a blessing that can contribute to societies’ welfare increases. Yet natural resource abundance could also become a curse for countries’ economic development. Numerous studies have investigated the relationship between natural resources and economic performance. However, the results remain ambiguous and have no consensus in the literature. In specific, most literature focused only on testing the curse’s existence, while studies that involve the role of financial development in mediating the nexus remain scarce. To the best of our knowledge, this is a pioneer study in a developing country endowed by natural resources. Using panel data of 33 provinces from 2012 to 2018, this study implements the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique to examine the existence of the natural resource curse and scrutinize the role of financial development in mitigating the curse. Results show that Indonesia potentially experiences a natural resource curse. Nonetheless, the negative effect of natural resources on economic growth could be mitigated by enhancing the role of financial development to reach a certain threshold over economic output. This study recommends policymakers to not only increase financial development across the provinces but also pay more serious attention to other factors causing the natural resource curse in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates EKC hypothesis in Indonesia over the period of 1980–2019. Within the EKC framework, we examine the impact of GDP, energy consumption, and financial development on CO2 emissions using ARDL bound-test. The results show that the study variables are cointegrated, representing a long-run relationship. The EKC hypothesis is not validated as we found a U-shaped relationship. Given the turning point (IDR13,274,579) has been reached in 1987, a further increase in GDP would only be associated with an increase in CO2 emissions. While energy consumption increases CO2 emissions, financial development seems to improve environmental quality by lowering CO2 emissions.

Abstract

Climate change causes various negative impacts on life, thus requiring mitigation and adaptation actions. Climate finance could support the transition to a low-carbon economy globally, including in Indonesia. However, empirical research on climate finance in Indonesia is still limited. This study uses path analysis to examine the relationship between climate finance, renewable energy mix, and carbon emissions in Indonesia from 1973 to 2020. The results show that climate finance could not directly reduce carbon emissions or promote renewable energy indirectly. These findings indicate the need to reallocate climate finance to sectors that have the potential to reduce carbon in Indonesia.

Abstract

Much research has been done on identifying socio-economic household links in developed countries. However, the study of household carbon emission (HCE) levels and related variables still needs to be examined, especially in developing countries. The study uses an ordinary least squares model to pinpoint the socio-economic elements that affect a household's carbon emission levels. SUSENAS (National Socio-economic Survey) data from March 2019 and 2021, covering 655,694 households, were used. This study used ordinary least squares (OLS) for the regression and dominance analyses (DA) to determine the most crucial factors affecting the HCE. The household characteristics, individuals, and residential conditions are used to measure socio-economic situations. The DA analysis shows that income and household size are the most crucial determinants of HCE. The OLS analysis reveals that the income variable exhibits a non-linear relationship with HCE as an inverted U-shape in the total HCE and most consumption categories. Wealthier households generate higher levels of household carbon emissions than poorer households. The variable of household size demonstrates a positive relationship with the HCE. The composition of household members also significantly affects household carbon emission levels, where the presence of working members and toddlers tends to increase household carbon emissions. The research also finds differences in consumption patterns between urban and rural households, resulting in varying levels of carbon emissions. The findings of this study can assist policymakers in formulating targeted policies to reduce household carbon emissions.

Abstract

Background: Anthropometrics, reflecting nutritional status, growth, and development, are crucial elements that can predict a person’s health and well-being. However, low anthropometric measures among children under 5 years remain a significant issue in Indonesia, often influenced by various factors at the household and community levels. Access to clean water and adequate sanitation has been identified as major determinants of these adverse health outcomes. This study analyzes the relationship between anthropometric measures and access to water and sanitation at household and community levels using a multilevel analysis approach. Methods: The study employs cross-sectional data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) waves 4 (2007) and 5 (2014), comprising a combined sample of 7,583 children. Furthermore, height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) and weight-for-height z-scores (WHZ) serve as the dependent variables, while improved water and sanitation access are the main independent variables. To account for the hierarchical nature of the data, a multilevel linear regression model is employed, clustering individuals, households, and communities at various levels. Results: The results indicate that improved sanitation at the household level and water coverage at the community level are significantly associated with higher HAZ, increasing the scores by 0.171 standard deviation (SD) (p < 0.01) and 0.004 SD (p < 0.1), respectively. However, the water and sanitation variables do not reveal a significant association with WHZ. Conclusions: The results of the study emphasize the importance of household-level sanitation and community-level water sources in influencing children’s health. Effective interventions must target improvements in water and sanitation facilities at household and community levels simultaneously to enhance children’s health and well-being. Recognizing and addressing the contextual factors at multiple levels is crucial for developing comprehensive health strategies.

Abstract

Poverty is the object of the problem that always becomes the government's attention. Because poverty is the main indicator of a country to see the welfare of its people. The government makes education one of the solutions to poverty. This study aims to determine the development of the role of education in reducing poverty in West Java province. The period used in this study is from 2012 to 2021. This research uses panel regression analysis. The results showed the important role of education in gravel decline. Education has a negative and significant effect on poverty. The results show that the addition of one year of education and the amount of government spending on the education sector can reduce poverty rates.

Abstract

Lack of access to improved drinking water and sanitation has been a major worldwide challenge, especially in Indonesia. This study investigates the impact of financial inclusion on access to improved drinking water and sanitation among households in Indonesia. Using binary probit regression analysis complemented with dominance analysis, we assess the relative importance of various factors, including financial inclusion, socio-economic status, and residence, in determining access to improved drinking water and sanitation services. Our findings highlight the critical role of urban residence in facilitating access to improved drinking water and sanitation, with urban areas demonstrating significantly higher access rates. Furthermore, participation in savings emerges as a more influential factor compared to credit participation, particularly in improving access to sanitation facilities. This suggests that while both savings and credit contribute to improved access, savings play a more pronounced role in addressing the higher upfront costs associated with sanitation infrastructure. Additionally, socio-economic factors such as household expenditure and education level are found to significantly influence access to improved water and sanitation, underscoring the importance of addressing broader socio-economic disparities. Overall, our study provides valuable insights and emphasizing the need for comprehensive strategies for policymakers to enhance essential access to clean water and sanitation.
