Abstract

The issue of a correct ‘government size’ for economic prosperity of a nation, particularly Muslim nation, is highly linked with the issue of optimal ‘role of state’. The present study attempts to utilise more efficient econometric methods on a sample of Muslim countries over a specific period of time in order to investigate the relationship between government size and economic growth. It also attempts to identify optimal size of government (role of state) that maximise the economic growth of the countries by applying static and dynamic panel estimations on a widely used ‘growth model’ for assessing the impact of government size on economic growth. The findings indicate that a small size of government contributes more to the economic growth of the countries. The results seem to be more robust by using the fixed-effects model as compared to other static or even dynamic models===============================================Pengukuran Ukuran Pemerintah Optimal yang Berkontribusi terhadap Pertumbuhan Ekonomi di Negara-negara Muslim. Persoalan tentang ‘ukuran pemerintah’ yang tepat untuk kemakmuran ekonomi suatu negara, khususnya negara Muslim, berkaitan erat dengan persoalan optimalisasi 'peran negara'. Artikel ini bertujuan mengkaji hubungan antara ukuran pemerintah dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi dengan menggunakan metode ekonometrik yang lebih efisien dengan sampel negara-negara Muslim selama kurun waktu tertentu. Artikel ini juga bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi ukuran optimal pemerintah (peran negara) yang dapat memaksimalkan pertumbuhan ekonomi negara-negara dengan menerapkan estimasi panel statis dan dinamis dengan menggunakan 'growth model' yang telah banyak digunakan dalam pengukuran dampak ukuran pemerintah terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ukuran pemerintah yang kecil dapat memberikan kontribusi lebih besar pada pertumbuhan ekonomi. Hasil kajian lebih meyakinkan dengan menggunakan fixed-effect model dibandingkan dengan model statis atau dinamis.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between income inequality and environmental degradation in ASEAN-6 countries namely Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam. It also provide analysis from the Islamic perspective based on result of the econometric regression. The study utilizes annual panel data from1992 until 2015 where the region suffered from high income distribution and environmental degradation. The analytical tool used in the study is Bias-Corrected Least Squared Dummy Variable (LSDVC), which is sufficient for small panel data. The methodological approach leads to two main findings. First, income inequality, measured by Gini coefficient, is contributing to environmental degradation (proxied by CO₂ emission and Natural Resources Depletion) in the short- and long-run term. Other explanatory variables namely GDP per capita and energy consumption, also impact significantly on environmental degradation level in the short- and long-term. From the findings, it is recommended that greater investment is required in addressing high level of income inequality and environmental issues. Instruments in Islam such as zakat and waqf provide solution to overcome issue of high income gap and environmental degradation in ASEAN-6 countries, moreover majority of Muslim population located in ASEAN countries. Hence, collaboration should be enhanced among the ASEAN-6 countries where wealth distribution, technology and knowledge sharing from high income countries to low and middle-income in ASEAN countries to mitigate the negative impact of high income inequality and environmental issue in the region.
