Abstract

AbstractThis research aims to study the determinants of income inequality at the provincial level in Indonesia, through observing MSMEs credit, government expenditure of education and health, school participation rate, and unemployment rate. We employed Fixed effect panel data, implementing Panel Corrected Standard Error (PCSE) and found that MSMEs credit, government expenditure on education, and school participation rate are significant in reducing income inequality. On the other hand, unemployment has been proven to have a positive impact on income inequality. However, implementation of National Health Insurance, relative to our period of observation, makes the result of government expenditure on health requires further analysis. Empirical result found that the increase in credit distribution to the MSME sector can reduce the level of income inequality and highest to lowest income ratio, on average in each province in Indonesia. The government is expected to focus on education and health budget to improve the community's quality of life.  Keywords: Gini Index, Government Expenditure, Highest to Lowest Income Ratio, MSMEs credit expansion, Panel dataEkspansi Kredit dan Dampaknya terhadap Ketimpangan Pendapatan pada Provinsi di IndonesiaAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi ketimpangan pendapatan di tingkat provinsi di Indonesia, dengan mengamati kredit UMKM, pengeluaran pemerintah untuk pendidikan dan kesehatan, tingkat partisipasi sekolah, dan tingkat pengangguran. Dengan memanfaatkan pendekatan Fixed Effect dengan Panel Corrected Standard Error (PCSE), ditemukan bahwa kredit UMKM, pengeluaran pemerintah untuk pendidikan, dan tingkat partisipasi sekolah secara signifikan mampu mengurangi ketimpangan pendapatan. Di sisi lain, pengangguran terbukti memiliki dampak positif pada ketimpangan pendapatan. Namun, penerapan Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional, relatif terhadap periode pengamatan kami, membuat hasil pengeluaran pemerintah untuk kesehatan memerlukan analisis lebih lanjut. Di lain pihak, ditemukan bahwa peningkatan distribusi kredit ke sektor UMKM dapat mengurangi tingkat ketimpangan pendapatan dan rasio pendapatan tertinggi hingga terendah, rata-rata di setiap provinsi di Indonesia. Pemerintah diharapkan fokus pada anggaran pendidikan dan kesehatan untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup masyarakat. Kata Kunci: indeks Gini, pengeluaran pemerintah, highest to lowest income ratio, UMKM, ekspansi kredit

Abstract

This empirical study aims to analyze the impact of economic growth and employment in the agricultural sector on poverty in Aceh Province. The study is conducted on annual time series data for the period of 1995-2017 while to explain the research objectives used Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Granger Causality. The results found, in the short term, only employment in the agricultural sector has a significant effect on poverty. Meanwhile, in the long term, economic growth has a profound and negative impact on poverty. On the contrary, the absorption of labor in the agricultural sector tends to increase poverty. In addition, the results obtained that economic growth has a unidirectional relationship with employment in the agricultural sector. It was, therefore, suggested that the government should prioritize economic development in regions that have relatively high poverty rate and build an agro-industry in Aceh to increase agricultural value added and also absorb more labor so it can enable to reduce the poverty rate.

Abstract

Poverty is often identified in developing countries. One measure of poverty is the ability to fulfill basic needs, particularly food needs. On the other hand, food needs are very sensitive to changes in inflation. The more fluctuating inflation will change the prices of necessities, which then exacerbate poverty conditions. Using time-series data for the period 2005-2016 and using the Ordinary Least Square method, this study examines the impact of changes in the prices of necessities on poverty levels in North Sumatra. The results showed that the increase in rice prices, sugar, cooking oil, beef, and salt had an impact on the poverty level in North Sumatra, while the increase in the price of eggs and kerosene was the opposite. The increase in rice prices significantly impacted all of the commodities studied than for other commodities, followed by salt, sugar, beef, and cooking oil. Changes in the ability to consume basic needs indicate a decrease in people's purchasing power. Further, this indicates that the change in consumption of these various commodities also means that the poverty rate tends to increase.
