Abstract

Corruption poses a significant challenge in numerous countries, impacting foreign investment, including those within the ASEAN Plus Three (APT) region. This study aims to ascertain the influence of corruption and other factors—specifically, the exchange rate, political stability, and economic growth—on the appeal of foreign direct investment in APT countries. The research employs the Error Correction Model (ECM) for statistical testing to analyze both short- and long-term effects. The findings indicate that corruption and exchange rate fluctuations do not exert a significant impact on foreign investment inflows into APT countries, regardless of the time horizon. In the short term, a surge in corruption cases tends to diminish the interest of potential foreign direct investors. However, over the long term, foreign investors anticipate that APT countries will adopt more stringent measures to combat corruption, thus fostering a corruption-free environment. This expectation is bolstered by the presence of political stability and robust economic growth in APT countries, which stand as pivotal considerations for foreign direct investment. Therefore, APT countries, particularly Indonesia, ought to establish transparent investment guidelines, root out corruption, ensure political stability, maintain exchange rate stability, and prioritize policies aimed at stimulating economic growth in order to entice foreign investment.

Abstract

Despite a general decline in crime rates in Indonesia, the rising trends in poverty, unemployment, and income inequality in several provinces raise concerns about their potential to incite criminal behavior and escalate crime rates. This study aims to empirically examine the effects of poverty, unemployment, education, and income inequality on crime rates in Indonesia. Utilizing secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the study analyzes a panel dataset comprising 32 provinces over five years through panel data regression techniques. The findings reveal that poverty and unemployment have a significant and positive impact on crime rates, highlighting their critical roles as socioeconomic determinants of criminal activity. In contrast, education levels and income inequality do not exhibit significant effects on crime rates in the Indonesian context. Theoretically, these findings underscore the relevance of economic and social strain theories, which suggest that socioeconomic hardships contribute to deviant behavior as individuals seek alternative means to meet unmet needs. Practically, the study emphasizes the need for targeted poverty alleviation programs and effective unemployment reduction strategies to mitigate crime rates. Policymakers should focus on creating sustainable economic opportunities and strengthening social safety nets in vulnerable regions. This research contributes to the broader discourse on crime prevention by providing insights into the socioeconomic drivers of crime in a developing country context, guiding future strategies to foster social stability and security.
