Abstract

The inequality in education and health infrastructure has resulted in human development indicators not being achieved optimally. Infrastructure and spending in the education and health sectors have increased but the average length of schooling and life expectancy are low, while GRDP per capita tends to decrease from 2017 to 2021. The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the effect of infrastructure inequality and government spending on education and health on human development. The results of the analysis show that the panel data regression estimation. In equation I, infrastructure inequality and education spending partially affect the average years of schooling. In equation II, health spending and health infrastructure inequality partially affect life expectancy. In equation III, education infrastructure inequality and life expectancy partially negatively affect GRDP per capita. Education and health expenditure, average years of schooling, and health infrastructure inequality partially have no effect on GRDP per capita. Suggestions that researchers provide based on the results of the study are to build equitable education and health infrastructure according to community needs. Effective and efficient use of education and health expenditure budgets according to community needs.

Abstract

Digitalization of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) plays a vital role in enhancing national and international competitiveness. This study aims to conduct regional segmentation in 34 provinces in Indonesia based on several indicators of the level of digitalization of MSMEs. This research is a quantitative study and an analytical descriptive approach that uses analysis techniques (K-means cluster) to map the distribution of MSMEs in Indonesia. Data pre-processing by standardizing data (z-score) to overcome differences in units of measurement. The type of data used is secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Indonesian Payment System Association. The study identifies three clusters with different characteristics. The first cluster, comprising West Java, Central Java, and East Java, shows advanced MSMEs digitalization.  The second cluster consists of 30 provinces with a developing level of MSMEs digitization. The third cluster is occupied by Papua, which shows lagging MSMEs' digitalization. This research focuses on the uneven digitization of MSMEs by limiting the scope of research to 34 provinces in Indonesia, then does not include analysis of development in time series, financial aspects, or the impact of government policies on the development of MSMEs. The originality of this research lies in the use of 34 research objects in Indonesia in 2023 by applying non-hierarchical K-Means clustering analysis. The analysis in this study uses indicators including the distribution of MSMEs, the number of workers in the e-commerce sector, the number of e-commerce businesses, the level of QRIS adoption, and the use of social media.

Abstract

This study aims to measure the efficiency of environmental expenditure by provincial governments in Indonesia and analyze the socio-economic and structural factors influencing it. Amid global climate challenges and fluctuations in national environmental budgets, evaluating fiscal performance has become essential for sustainable development. This research employs a quantitative approach covering thirty-four provinces over the period from 2020 to 2024. Efficiency is assessed using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method with an output-oriented Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) approach, where provincial governments are treated as Decision-Making Units (DMUs). The model utilizes environmental expenditure realization as the input, while the recycling rate, protected forest area, renewable energy production, and the Environmental Quality Index serve as outputs. Subsequently, a Tobit regression model is used to examine the determinants of efficiency, including Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), population growth, industrialization level, and the Information and Communication Technology Development Index (ICTDI). The results indicate significant regional variations in efficiency, with only fourteen provinces achieving perfect efficiency scores, while the majority remain below the efficiency threshold. Second-stage analysis reveals that the industrialization level has a positive and significant effect on efficiency, reflecting better governance in developed regions. Conversely, the ICTDI shows a significant negative influence, indicating suboptimal technology integration in budget management. Economic capacity and population growth do not statistically explain efficiency variations. These findings suggest that the government should transition from an expenditure-based approach to performance-based budgeting by strengthening digital oversight systems and promoting green industrialization to ensure sustainable environmental quality improvement in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of the 50% electricity tariff discount policy on household electricity consumption in Semarang City using income, number of dependents, and ownership of electronic devices as variables. This study uses a quasi-qualitative analysis method with the help of Nvivo 12 software. The data used are primary data with data collection methods, namely questionnaires and interviews with 101 informants of prepaid customers of class R-1 (450 VA, 900 VA, 1,300 VA, and 2,200 VA) in Semarang City. The results of this study indicate that the electricity tariff discount policy affects changes in the amount and pattern of electricity consumption in Semarang City. In addition, the income variable affects the ability and decision to consume electricity. The number of dependents affects electricity consumption based on the tendency of members who are active at home. Ownership of electronic devices also affects changes in electricity use, ranging from more flexible use to continuing to save. Overall, the 50% electricity tariff discount policy has been proven to have a significant impact on household electricity consumption in Semarang City which is influenced by the economic and demographic characteristics of the household..

Abstract

Palm oil is one of Indonesia's leading export commodities (GPKI, 2023). The superiority of palm oil commodities is the basis of the research, supported by the Heckser-Ohlin theory of comparative advantage of commodities. This study aims to structurally analyze the influence of world average GDP, exchange rates, production and inflation on Indonesian palm oil exports. Data testing uses the SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Square) method using WarpPLS 8.0. The data in this study uses secondary data obtained from world average GDP data, exchange rates, production and inflation sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Bank Indonesia, and the Worldbank in the form of monthly data for 2018-2023. The results of the study show that world average GDP, production and inflation have a positive effect while the exchange rate has a negative effect on Indonesian palm oil exports. Furthermore, world average GDP and exchange rates have a positive effect while production has a negative effect on Indonesian inflation.

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions are one of the main causes of climate change in the world. This study aims to analyze the impact of urbanization on carbon emissions within the framework of sustainable development, taking into account mediating variables such as gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, fossil energy consumption, renewable energy consumption, and forest cover area. The method used is a quantitative approach employing Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) using WarpPLS 8.0. Data sources include Our World in Data and the World Bank, covering the period from 1990 to 2022. The results show that urbanization has a significant positive impact on GDP per capita and fossil fuel consumption with coefficients of 0.99 and 0.98. Urbanization also has a significant negative impact on renewable energy consumption and forest cover area with coefficients of -0.99 and -0.99. GDP per capita and fossil fuel consumption have a significant positive impact on carbon emissions, with coefficients of 0.33 and 0.47. Renewable energy consumption and forest cover area each show a significant negative impact on carbon emissions, with coefficients of -0.38 and -0.41. However, the direct relationship between urbanization and carbon emissions shows a non-significant positive effect with a coefficient of 0.24. These findings conclude that urbanization in Indonesia contributes to an increase in carbon emissions indirectly through mediating variables, while its direct relationship with emissions is not significant.
