Abstract

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is one of the macroeconomic indicators that reflects the level of welfare of a country's population. The APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) forum has the main goal of promoting economic growth and enhancing prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. This is done by encouraging and facilitating more open trade and investment in the region. APEC member countries have different export characteristics, namely agricultural exports and high-technology exports. This study analyzes the influence of agricultural exports, high-technology exports, Foreign Direct Investment, and regulatory quality on the Gross Domestic Product of APEC member countries. The research data used are secondary data from the World Bank from 2011 to 2020, analyzed using the Fixed Effect Model approach of panel data regression method using E-Views 12. The results show that simultaneously, agricultural exports, high-technology exports, Foreign Direct Investment, and regulatory quality have a significant influence on the economies of APEC member countries. Partially, high-technology exports and regulatory quality have a positive and significant impact, while agricultural exports and Foreign Direct Investment have a positive but not significant impact on GDP. APEC countries should focus on productivity by harnessing technology and achieving inclusive economies for societal welfare.

Abstract

Economic growth is a macro indicator to measure the success of development, so all countries strive to achieve high economic growth to create prosperity for the society, especially for developing countries. At the beginning of economic growth, income inequality will increase, but over time, income inequality will decrease. This research was conducted to analyze the influence of economic growth rate, non-oil export ratio, non-oil import ratio, and foreign direct investment ratio on income inequality among provinces in Indonesia. The data used in this study is panel data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency covering 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2018 to 2022. The results of this study indicate that the economic growth rate has a positive but not significant effect on income inequality in Indonesia, the non-oil import ratio has a positive and significant effect on income inequality in Indonesia, the foreign direct investment ratio has a negative but not significant effect on income inequality in Indonesia, while the non-oil export ratio does not have a significant effect on income inequality in Indonesia.
