Abstract

The implementation of national development cannot be separated from the role of the government through the programs it funds. Government spending is generally allocated to productive activities that can basically contribute to reducing disparities between provinces in Indonesia. However, not all of this government spending ends in waste alone. Based on this, this study aims to measure the extent to which publik spending efficiency can contribute to the convergence of economic growth in Indonesia by using government function spending data from 34 provinces for the period 2017 to 2022 taken from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia. Furthermore, dynamic panel data estimation uses the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) method to obtain the economic growth convergence coefficient.

Abstract

Poverty is a complex issue faced by various countries, including Indonesia. One fiscal instrument in poverty alleviation efforts is the allocation of government public spending. Based on this policy, this research aims to analyze the efficiency of government expenditure in alleviating poverty. This study employs two methods: data envelopment analysis and panel data regression analysis. Government expenditure is proxied by education and health expenditure relative to total government spending. The estimation results of this research indicate that education expenditure has a significant negative effect. Meanwhile, health expenditure has a positive, albeit insignificant, effect on poverty. The contributions of this research include policy recommendations that the government should undertake within its fiscal capacity to address social issues such as poverty.

Abstract

Economic growth convergence is one of the economic targets that ASEAN countries aim to achieve through various initiatives and regional cooperation. To realize economic convergence, technology and information play a crucial role in accelerating economic growth in each country or region. As there has not been much research discussing the economic convergence in the context of technology and information among Southeast Asian countries, this study aims to uncover how technological innovation acts as a catalyst for economic growth convergence among ASEAN-5. The study uses secondary data from five ASEAN countries (ASEAN-5) from 2000 to 2020, sourced from the World Bank. The Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) is used to estimate the influence of technological and information developments on economic growth in ASEAN countries. The analysis results indicate that mobile phones have extensively penetrated ASEAN countries. This includes various social and economic groups, including communities in rural or remote areas without stable internet access. Mobile phones, especially basic phones (feature phones), remain the primary tool for communication and information access in many developing countries, including those in ASEAN.
