Abstract

Human Development Index (HDI) disparities across regions remain a critical development issue in East Java, Indonesia, particularly among districts with limited fiscal capacity and uneven access to basic services. This study aims to examine the effects of fiscal factors, access to safe drinking water, and non-food consumption on HDI in 19 districts of East Java during the 2015–2023 period. The research employs a quantitative associative approach using panel data regression analysis. The Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is selected as the most appropriate estimation technique based on the Chow and Hausman tests. The results indicate that Local Own-Source Revenue (LOSR), Special Allocation Funds (SAF), health expenditure, access to safe drinking water, and non-food consumption expenditure have a positive and significant effect on HDI. In contrast, education expenditure shows a positive but statistically insignificant effect, suggesting inefficiencies in budget allocation. Simultaneously, all variables significantly influence HDI, with strong explanatory power. These findings imply that strengthening regional fiscal capacity, improving the effectiveness of public spending, expanding access to basic services, and enhancing household welfare are essential to achieving sustainable and equitable human development.

Abstract

The buwuh tradition, a Javanese socio-cultural practice rooted in values of mutual cooperation and solidarity, is increasingly challenged by social and economic changes in urban communities, raising concerns about shifts in its original meaning and function. This study aims to examine the transformation of the meaning of the buwuh tradition, its impacts on socio-economic relationships within the community, and the role of social capital in sustaining the tradition while also generating potential functional distortions. This research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive ethnographic method and was conducted in Lowokwaru Sub District. A total of 41 informants were selected through purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques. Data were collected through structured interviews, observation, documentation, and literature review, and analyzed using Spradley’s ethnographic analysis model. The findings reveal that the buwuh tradition has shifted from a voluntary contribution to a practice resembling social debt, characterized by the recording of contribution amounts and expectations of reciprocity. This transformation produces dual socio-economic effects: it strengthens social ties and provides financial support, yet simultaneously imposes economic burdens on economically vulnerable groups. Social capital in the form of norms, trust, and social networks continues to sustain the existence of buwuh, but also exhibits an ambivalent nature by potentially generating social and economic pressure. The implications of this study highlight the need for managing social capital values to ensure the sustainability of the buwuh tradition without exacerbating socio-economic inequality.

Abstract

The buwuh tradition is a form of mutual assistance through giving money or goods at celebrations. Initially perceived as a voluntary gift, buwuh has gradually shifted into a social obligation that is often recorded and treated as a form of debt. Despite rapid social change in urban areas, this tradition continues to persist in Lowokwaru District, Malang City, reflecting strong adherence to local social and cultural norms. This study aims to analyze the role of social capital and behavioral finance, particularly herding behavior, in shaping community participation in the buwuh tradition. The research employs a qualitative approach using Spradley’s ethnographic method. Data were collected through participant observation, structured interviews with community members across several villages in Lowokwaru District, and field documentation. Data analysis followed four ethnographic stages: domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, componential analysis, and cultural theme analysis. The findings reveal that social capital plays a crucial role in sustaining the buwuh tradition through three key elements: norms, beliefs, and social networks. These elements create moral pressure that encourages continued participation. Furthermore, community involvement is strongly influenced by intentional herding behavior, where individuals consciously follow majority practices despite economic burdens to avoid social sanctions and maintain social harmony.

Abstract

Purchasing power refers to an individual's ability to consume goods or services. There is a considerable amount of evidence indicating a weakening of the purchasing power of the Indonesian people in 2024. This research aims to analyse the factors that influence the purchasing power of the Indonesian population from 2013 to 2023. This study focuses on five variables: inflation, interest rate, value-added tax (VAT), consumer credit, and the open unemployment rate. The analytical method used in this research is multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this research are that inflation and credit consumption have a significant and positive effect. Open unemployment rate has a significant negative effect on purchasing power. Interest rates and VAT do not significantly affect purchasing power.

Abstract

Income inequality remains a structural challenge in Java Island despite its advanced infrastructure, a phenomenon known as the "Java Paradox". This study aims to analyze the influence of basic infrastructure, comprising clean water, electricity, and roads, on income inequality across 5 provinces in Java from 2014 to 2024. This study employs a quantitative approach using panel data consisting of 55 observations. The analytical method used is panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach and White Period correction to address autocorrelation issues. The results show that electricity infrastructure has a negative and significant effect on income inequality, indicating that increased electricity access effectively drives productive economic activities for low-income households. Conversely, road and clean water infrastructure were found to have a positive but insignificant effect. These findings suggest the presence of a spatial mismatch phenomenon where road development benefits have not been evenly distributed. Policy implications suggest prioritizing electricity quality as a key instrument for inclusive growth and re-evaluating road development strategies to ensure a greater impact on economic equity.

Abstract

The transformation of digital payment systems in Indonesia has driven a massive increase in cashless transactions, which has the potential to affect money circulation, aggregate demand, and ultimately price stability. This study aims to analyze the effect of debit cards, credit cards, electronic money, and QRIS on inflation in Indonesia using monthly data from 2020 to 2024. The method used is Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) to examine the dynamics of short-term and long-term relationships between variables. The results show that debit cards have a significant positive effect on inflation in the short and long term. Credit cards have a significant positive effect in the short term and a significant negative effect in the long term. Electronic money has a significant negative effect in the short term and no significant effect in the long term. QRIS has a significant positive effect in the short term and no significant effect in the long term. These findings indicate that not all non-cash payment instruments have the same impact on inflation, so the development of digital payment systems needs to be balanced with policies that maintain supply-side equilibrium.
