Abstract

This research examines the occurrence of income convergence in the Surakarta Ex-Residency. Data included per capita income, labor productivity, and the number of motor vehicles published by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) from 2001-2018. The research model was formed by adding several control variables to form a regression equation where the current year's per capita income was dependent. In contrast, the preceding year's per capita income, labor productivity, and the number of motor vehicles were independent variables. Subsequently, the regression equation was estimated by the Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS) and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) methods. The results showed a convergence of per capita income among regions. The income in more impoverished regions grew faster compared to wealthier ones. For this reason, the gap in income per capita between regions lessened significantly. Increased labor productivity and the number of motor vehicles had a positive effect on per capita income, supporting income convergence. Therefore, the transportation network needs to be improved by the government to support the mobility of workers and goods, leading to income convergence.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of education funding allocation on educational inequality, with poverty rates and gender gap as control variables, in the least developed, frontier, and outermost regions of East Nusa Tenggara during the 2018-2024 period. The research data are secondary, sourced from the Central Statistics Agency and the Regional Education Balance Sheet, and are in panel form. This study uses panel-data regression analysis with a fixed-effects approach and quantile regression. The results show that although the allocation of education funding reduces educational inequality, it has no effect on the moderate inequality group. Meanwhile, poverty rates have a positive effect on educational inequality in both moderate and extreme groups. The gender gap has no effect on educational inequality, but in the moderate education inequality group, it has a positive effect on educational inequality in the least developed, frontier, and outermost regions of East Nusa Tenggara.
