Abstract

Research Originality: This study contributes to literature by investigating the impact of taxation on income inequality, with a specific focus on Southeast Asian countries.Research Objectives: To investigate the impact of taxation on income inequality in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries.Research Methods: A panel data model focusing on ASEAN from 1998 to 2021 was used, and a two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimation method, incorporating fixed effects and instrumental variables was used. Tax instrument comprised two components, namely tax ratio, reflecting volume of tax; and tax structure, representing direct, indirect, and income taxes.Empirical Results: The results showed that tax ratio, direct tax, and income tax reduced income inequality in Southeast Asia. However, the magnitude of the impact should be more significant. Prioritizing education and improving the quality of workforce could effectively reduce income inequality, as shown by Singapore's success in this area.Implications: This study had significant implications for ASEAN policymakers, as it offered valuable insights into designing and implementing taxation policies to reduce income inequality and promote economic development across the region. JEL Classification: D63, H20, H23How to Cite:Alexander, A., Gitaharie, B.

Abstract

More than six in ten people in developing countries in Southeast Asia are unbanked.  It may be for this reason that  ASEAN prioritizes financial inclusion and financial stability. Financial inclusion aims to enlarge the proportion of the population to access and use financial services.   The objectives of this study are to construct financial inclusion index and to investigate the relationship between the constructed index and the macroeconomic stability variables—financial stability, inflation volatility, and output volatility-- in eight Southeast Asian countries for the 2008-2020 period.  The three-dimension—access and availability, usage, and technology/infrastructure-- financial inclusion index is constructed using a double principal component method.  The result shows that Indonesia (0.55) and Lao (0.53) are the two countries with the highest average index for the period.  Employing the panel seemingly unrelated regression, the study finds that financial inclusion has a positive effect on financial stability; and a negative effect on inflation and output volatility.  The finding supports the ASEAN authority to continuously expand financial inclusion as it contributes to increasing financial stability, reducing inflation and output volatility, hence, the macroeconomic stability.

Abstract

Research Originality: This study takes a novel approach to analyzing the impact of human capital on income convergence in ASEAN-8 countries by comparing three indicators. This comparative analysis provides a more comprehensive understanding of human capital dynamics in ASEAN's economic convergence.Research Objectives: This study investigates the impact of human capital on income convergence by applying the concept of β-convergence to the ASEAN-8 countries.Research Methods: The analysis of β-convergence is based on the basic and augmented Solow growth models. The estimation is conducted using static and dynamic panel data regression from 1995 to 2019.Empirical Result: The results reveal the existence of absolute and conditional β-convergence in ASEAN-8 countries, suggesting that poor countries grow faster than rich countries, with human capital playing a crucial role in this process. Human capital, measured by average years of schooling, tertiary gross enrolment ratio, and HCI, are important factors that significantly increase income convergence.Implications: ASEAN-8 governments need to establish policies that enhance human capital, particularly in education, by increasing educational attainment and the rate of return to education.JEL Classification: E24, O47, C13How to Cite:Suprayitno, A.
