Abstract

There is a trend of decreasing the poverty rate in Indonesia. But in the Province of West Kalimantan, there are still five districts with poverty rates that are above the average national rate, namely Melawi, Landak, Ketapang, Sintang, and North Kayong districts. The purpose of this study is to estimate the relationship between government transfers which are proxied by the amount of GAT (General Allocation Transfer) Funds, economic growth, and the quality of human resources in terms of education and health which are proxied by the average years of schooling and public-health insurance membership. Once these factors can be identified, it is hoped that the government will find it easier to reduce poverty levels. Based on Nested Test, model that passes the goodness of fit test is The Common Effect model so this model is used in estimating and interpreting in this research. It shows that there is no difference in the behavior of the research variables, either between time or between individuals. The findings of this study that the economic growth variable is not significant in reducing the poverty level, the variable of literacy level have a significantly negative effect on the poverty level, the variable of public-health insurance membership has significantly positive on the poverty level, and the central government transfer variable proxied by GAT has significantly positive effect significant to the poverty level.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menguji hipotesis Kuznets di Amerika Serikat dengan menganalisis hubungan antara Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) per kapita dan ketimpangan pendapatan yang diukur menggunakan Indeks Gini. Data yang digunakan berupa data tahunan periode 1963–2022 yang bersumber dari World Bank. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan regresi linier sederhana dengan Indeks Gini sebagai variabel dependen dan logaritma PDB per kapita sebagai variabel independen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa PDB per kapita berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan dengan nilai R² sebesar 0,672859, yang berarti 67,29% variasi Indeks Gini dapat dijelaskan oleh perubahan PDB per kapita, sedangkan sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar model. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa peningkatan PDB per kapita selama periode pengamatan cenderung disertai peningkatan ketimpangan pendapatan. Dengan demikian, pola empiris yang diamati mendukung keberlakuan kurva U-terbalik Kuznets dalam konteks perekonomian Amerika Serikat.

Abstract

Despite continuous improvements in the Human Development Index (HDI), Indonesia’s poverty rate remained relatively high at 8.57 percent in 2024, indicating persistent structural challenges. This indicates a critical gap in variables determining poverty in Indonesia. This study aims to analyse the determinants of poverty across Indonesian provinces by examining both indirect and direct transmission mechanisms. The study employs a quantitative explanatory design using a two stage recursive panel data model that integrates regional financial effectiveness, regional financial efficiency, provincial minimum wages, HDI, and domestic investment. Secondary data are obtained from the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance (DJPK), Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia, and Statistics Indonesia (BPS), covering 34 provinces over the 2018 to 2024 period with 238 observations. A balanced panel dataset is estimated using panel data techniques, and the Fixed Effects model is selected based on the Hausman test. The results show that regional financial effectiveness and provincial minimum wages positively affect HDI, while fiscal inefficiency reduces human development. HDI significantly reduces poverty, confirming its mediating role, whereas domestic investment has a direct negative effect on poverty. These findings highlight the importance of coordinated fiscal and investment policies to accelerate poverty reduction
