Abstract

Purpose — The purpose of this study is to determine the convergence of economic growth in the regencies and cities of South Sulawesi.Method — The type of data utilized in this study is quantitative, sourced from secondary data obtained from the Indonesian central statistics agency/ Badan Pusat Statistik of the districts and cities within South Sulawesi Province. The convergence analysis in this study is divided into two categories, namely sigma convergence and beta convergence. The application of sigma convergence aims to assess the level of disparity based on economic growth.Result — The results of the sigma convergence analysis indicate that there has been sigma convergence in South Sulawesi Province from 2015 to 2022, as evident from the decreasing Unweighted Coefficient of Variation value. Furthermore, the analysis of beta convergence was conducted using both absolute convergence and conditional convergence models, focusing on the economic growth of all districts/cities in South Sulawesi. The findings also reveal that the average length of schooling does not have a significant effect on economic growth. However, investment demonstrates a significant impact on the economic growth of districts/cities within the province of South Sulawesi.Contribution — The academic contribution of this study lies in its novel focus on convergence analysis of economic growth in regions/cities within South Sulawesi Province, specifically investigating the potential catching-up process and convergence in rising per capita income, which has been relatively overlooked in prior research predominantly centered on overall economic development at regional or national levels.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the effects of the Village Fund and Village Cash Transfer (BLT Desa) on rural welfare. It distinguishes the Village Fund as a development-oriented fiscal instrument and BLT Desa as a protection-oriented instrument for vulnerable households. Design/methodology/approach – This study employs a quantitative explanatory approach using a balanced sub-district-year panel design for the 2021 to 2025 period. Rural welfare is measured using a composite index that reflects poverty, human development, and access to basic services. The Village Fund and BLT Desa are treated as the main explanatory variables, while disaster vulnerability is included as a control variable. The data are analyzed using a two-way Fixed Effects Model. Finding/Results – The results show that both the Village Fund and BLT Desa have positive and significant effects on rural welfare. The Village Fund has a stronger association with welfare improvement, indicating the importance of development-oriented spending in supporting infrastructure, services, and local capacity. BLT Desa also contributes positively, suggesting that direct cash assistance remains relevant for protecting vulnerable households. In contrast, disaster vulnerability has a negative and significant effect on rural welfare. Originality/Value – This study contributes to the literature by simultaneously evaluating development transfers and village-level social protection within a sub-district panel framework. The findings imply that rural welfare improvement requires an integrated village fiscal policy that combines long-term development spending, targeted household protection, and disaster-resilient planning.
