Abstract

This study aims to measure the direction and magnitude of the influence of Regional Financial Independence Ratio (DDF), Effectiveness Ratio of Local Revenue (REPAD), Regional Expenditure Compatibility Ratio (RKBD), GRDP Per Capita (PDRBPKP) and Population Density (KPD) on Regional Inequality in the Provinces of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in 2016-2022. This research uses panel data analysis. The results found that the Fixed Effects Model (FEM) was selected as the best estimation model, as this model has high predictive power. Partially, the variables Regional Financial Independence Ratio (DDF), Effectiveness Ratio of Local Revenue (REPAD) and GRDP Per Capita (PDRBPKP) affect the variable Regional Inequality in the provinces of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in 2016-2022. A high Regional Financial Independence Ratio indicates efficient resource allocation and regional economic sectors that effectively reduce regional inequality. An increase in the Efficiency of Regional Local Revenues, which are not always evenly distributed, can increase inter-regional inequality. A high GRDP per capita does not always reflect an equitable distribution of wealth in society, which can increase interregional inequality. Policies are needed to strengthen regional autonomy and optimize financial management.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Village Fund Allocation (ADD) on economic growth in 13 regencies of South Sumatra Province from 2016 to 2023. Using panel data regression analysis with the Common Effect Model (CEM) as the best estimated model, the research also examines the impact of other variables including the Human Development Index (HDI), Regional Budget (APBD), Construction Cost Index (IKK), number of community health centers (HEALTH), and labor force (EMP). The empirical findings reveal that ADD and HDI have a statistically significant influence on regional economic growth, with ADD demonstrating a negative effect, while HDI exerts a positive influence. In contrast, APBD, IKK, HEALTH, and EMP show no significant relationship with economic growth. The results suggest that while human capital development plays a critical role in promoting sustainable economic progress, the effectiveness of fiscal policies such as ADD and APBD depends heavily on governance quality and institutional capacity. The study highlights the need for institutional reform, transparent fund management, and a development strategy tailored to local potential to ensure inclusive and productive regional economic growth.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of the Female Labor Force Participation Rate (FLFPR), Percentage of Women Who Have Ever Accessed the Internet (PPMI), Percentage of Female Population, Average Years of Schooling (AYS) for women, and Female School Participation Rate (SPR) on the Gender Empowerment Index (GEI) in Central Java Province during the period 2019–2023. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data and applies panel data regression analysis through the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The results show that PPMI has a significant positive effect on GEI, while FLFPR, Percentage of Female Population, AYS for women, and SPR do not have a significant effect. The insignificant variables indicate that improvements in formal education, the proportion of the female population, and labor force participation alone are insufficient to substantially enhance gender empowerment. Conversely, PPMI emerges as a key factor, as internet access broadens women’s opportunities to acquire information, skills, and networks, thereby increasing their capacity, participation, and bargaining power in economic, political, and social spheres, and serving as a strategic catalyst for accelerating gender empowerment policies at the regional level.
