The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic creates both the demand and supply shocks problem that may affect the households’ food insecurity. Among mechanisms, it ranges from the limited physical access to food due to social distancing to the drop in economic access to food due to (partial) lockdown. This study aims to lay out an early warning assessment of the food security situation in Indonesia amidst the Covid-19 outbreak. We use the cartogram analysis which visualize the geographical features throughout the Indonesia archipelago, both in the small and big island setting. The analysis involves the use of both the simple score and latent measurement-based scale of the Rasch model for the food insecurity based on the Susenas data from 2017-2019. The finding reveals that there existed a variation of the household proportion that suffers from severe food insecurity across the Indonesia archipelago. The more eastern the island, the worse the measure is. Papua and Maluku suffer more from such condition compared to the other big islands. As the government has applied any containment measures, the surge in Covid-19 cases may potentially worsen both the existing households under severe food insecurity and even create new households under such conditions.

Empirical analysis on the links between geography and energy access in archipelago setting is still limited. In particular, the territorial identification of energy poverty in Indonesia is still missing. Our study maps geographical location and estimates factors that determines the probability of being energy poor household in relation to electricity. We used the OLS (Ordinary Least Square) estimation and utilized the socioeconomic survey (Susenas) combined with data on terrain elevation, presence of geographic features such as mountainside, topography characteristics, ocean and forest obtained from the village census (PODES). The results show that energy poverty in Eastern part of Indonesia is larger than in the Western. In Eastern Indonesia, we estimate that 13.5% of the total households are energy poor compared to the Western which only 7.21%. Households located in the forest area was the dominant factor to influence prevalence of energy poverty among geographic constraints, with magnitude of influence at 22-23 percentage point to non-forest residents. Secondly, the presence of steep-sloped terrain is the next meaningful geographical constraint with contribution effect to energy poverty prevalence at around 18 percentage point. The result highlighted priority of locations in which resource and policy to reduce energy deprivation need to be allocated.

Reducing subnational imbalances of development progress is unquestionable policy for heterogeneous Indonesia. This paper examines the impact of policy that assigns a lagging-region status namely status daerah tertinggal (DT) on poverty rate and poverty gap among districts in Indonesia in the two period of SBY presidency. The panel data fixed effect combined with propensity score matching is used to tackle the selection bias due to the nature of the policy, unobserved heterogeneity and omitted variable bias. The results show that the lagging-region status that was aimed to mainstream central and district’s budget toward lagging regions statistically significant reduces poverty rate and poverty gap in the period. The DT status, on average is associated with 0.75 percentage point of reduction in the poverty rate and 7% reduction in the poverty gap index. AbstrakMenurunkan ketimpangan antar-daerah adalah sebuah agenda kebijakan yang niscaya untuk Indonesia yang majemuk dalam kemajuan ekonomi. Artikel ini berusaha mengukur dampak dari sebuah kebijakan penetapan daerah tertinggal terhadap dua ukuran kemiskinan, yaitu tingkat kemiskinan dan kedalaman kemiskinan pada dua periode masa jabatan Presiden SBY. Metode yang dipergunakan adalah panel data fixed-effect dikombinasikan dengan propensity score matching untuk mengatasi permasalah endogen pada variabel utama yaitu bias dalam seleksi terhadap kebijakan, keragaman daerah yang tidak dapat diukur, dan potensi bias karena ketiadaan variabel-variabel yang berpengaruh terhadap dua ukuran kemiskinan. Hasil pendugaan regresi tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penetapan daerah tertinggal yang ditujukan untuk mengarusutamakan dana pembangunan secara statistik signifikan dan menyebabkan penurunan tingkat kemiskinan dan kedalaman kemiskinan di masa tersebut. Daerah tertinggal secara rata-rata memiliki tingkat kemiskinan lebih rendah sebesar 0.75 (persentase) dan memiliki indeks kedalaman kemiskinan 7% lebih rendah.Kata kunci: Daerah Tertinggal; Kemiskinan; IndonesiaJEL classifications: I32, P48

Informality issues and government distributional objectives cause the need for VAT special treatment for the agricultural sector. The treatment forms and resulting impacts vary, depending on each country's conditions and necessities. This study aims to estimate the impact of the alternative tax base measurement policies on the VAT revenue performance in the Indonesian agricultural sector. Using input-output table modeling, the authors found that the policy positively impacts the compliance level and VAT revenue in the agricultural sector but reduces the aggregate national VAT revenues and increases the VAT burden that the agricultural sector entrepreneurs must bear. The normal VAT mechanism is preferred for the long-term goal, but the alternative policy is still needed during the transition period.

Density is an important indicator closely related to the rate of urbanisation in cities. Density alters social capital, yet the directions of the association remain an open empirical investigation. This study aims to analyse how density and social capital are related in Jakarta, the capital, and the most populous city in Indonesia. Utilising a simple regression and an entropy balance approach to address the selection issue, this study finds that an increase in density of 10 thousand inhabitants per square kilometre is associated with a 2% higher possibility of societies having high social capital. The result is also robust using another definition of social capital and transformation of density variable. A policy recommendation that can be taken based on this study’s results is that the government can design dense urban planning as a model of sustainable urban design, particularly the sustainability in social aspects.

This study explores the relationship between social capital and conflict in the post Suharto regime in Indonesia. We employed a combination of cross-section datasets from the Social and Cultural Module of the 2009 National Socio- Economic Survey (SUSENAS) and the media-based conflict data from National Violence Monitoring System (NVMS) of 2010–2014 in Indonesia. Using Binomial Negative Regression, our empirical analysis shows that the past social capital stocks negatively correlate with future conflict intensity. This pattern applies to most conflict types. This result indicates that the social capital stock in 2009 is more likely to be the starting point determining the conflict vulnerability in the subsequent period. Furthermore, the evaluation of the components of social capital reveals that the most crucial type of social capital is trust in neighbors, the government, and local officials. The district with high trust is less prone to conflict.

Migration theory has developed a framework that considers factors influencing migration, including the pursuit of better economic opportunities in the destination area, which is a crucial pull factor. However, the internal migration literature, especially in Indonesia, currently lacks empirical evidence to show the role of migration networks as a mediating element in this mechanism. To address this research gap, we conducted a case study in Indonesia to examine the role of the migration network on the decision process of internal migrants. Our findings show that migration networks matter in driving internal migration with a moderate size effect, implying informational factors beyond those provided by networks also play a crucial role in migration decisions. These results indicate the importance of exploring additional avenues to enhance the positive impact of migration networks, such as creating designated social media applications to facilitate connections among potential migrants or exploring alternative means of meaningful engagement. Further research should examine the efficacy of such interventions and their potential to augment the influence of migration networks on migration decisions.
