Abstract

Covid-19 has had a great global influence, notably in Indonesia. West Java, Indonesia's most populous province, is expected to pursue economic recovery policies throughout the epidemic, albeit this has not been practically proven. This study sought to determine whether there were substantial disparities in the financial performance of 27 regencies/municipalities in West Java Province before and throughout the pandemic over a two-year period (2018–2021). Mathematical computations, descriptive statistics, and inferential analysis using paired t-test calculations for each average financial performance metric were used. Despite the difficult conditions during the pandemic, this study reveals that numerous regencies/municipalities in the West Java Province region had positive financial outcomes. Ten regencies/ municipalities saw a rise in fiscal decentralization, effectiveness ratio, and efficiency ratio. Aside from that, 8 districts/cities gained independence throughout the epidemic. Not to mention that six regencies/cities showed increased growth rates during the outbreak.

Abstract

This study evaluates the fiscal efficiency of regional financial management in Indonesia during 2013–2023 and provides evidence to inform policy reform. Using panel data from 133 regencies/ municipalities in four populous provinces, this study applies output-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with Slack-Based Measure (SBM) and Malmquist Index models to measure static and dynamic fiscal efficiency. The findings show North Sumatra as the highest fiscal efficiency despite having the smallest average budgets, while West Java leads the fiscal performance frontier. The study calls for stronger central and provincial regulatory frameworks to improve spending allocation, absorption, and overall regional fiscal efficiency. It also contributes to the decentralization literature by offering evidence-based insights for adaptive and sustainable regional governance.
