Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the effect of fiscal decentralization on green development efficiency. This paper uses efficiency analysis: Slack Based Model to measure an efficiency score and dynamic panel regression: Generalized Method of Moments to maintain a correlation between fiscal decentralization and efficiency score. This study uses the environmental quality index and regional budget expenditure as analytical fiscal variables. The results show that the original regional income positively affects the efficiency of green development. Meanwhile, provincial spending and population have negatively affected green development efficiency. The influence is due to behavior where in the short term, the region that has just been built will have an impact on reducing the efficiency level, then gradually increasing efficiency driven by the presence of local indigenous income. The uncited form of spending from local governments sometimes only focuses on the orientation of economic growth and physical achievement to slightly ignore the environmental aspect.

Abstract

Temporary migration is one part of the potential for income inequality in the region. On this basis, this study aims to examine the effect of temporary migration on income disparity. This study uses SUSENAS panel data from 34 provinces during 2010-2019. This study uses the generalized method of moments dynamic panel regression to analyze the time change while reviewing the regional aspect. The results show that in-migration has a significant positive effect on income disparity. Meanwhile, out-migration has a negative effect on income disparity. Moreover, inflation and consumption expenditure are suspected to cause the severity of inequality. On the other hand, average years of schooling encourage people to get good labor productivity. This upward migration policy implies that it is an alternative for regions to reduce income inequality. The policy is navigated from various transmissions such as education, investment, access to public services, central and local coordination, and monitoring of labor exploitation practices.

Abstract

Background: Social assistance, such as Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) and the Family Hope Program (PKH), is among the instruments used to eradicate stunting in the short and long term. Therefore, it is important to ensure that individuals effectively use it. Aims: This study aimed to review the effect of social assistance on stunting prevalence rates in Indonesia. Methods: This research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing numerical measurements and statistical analysis. The data is secondary and sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Finance. The specific method applied is the generalized method of moments (GMM) dynamic panel regression. The research sample encompasses panel data from 34 provinces from 2015 to 2021. This study utilizes the indicator of very short height for children less than five years of age as a proxy for stunting. Furthermore, low height in children is adopted as a measure of stunting. Furthermore, this study adopted a measure of low height in children to indicate stunting. Results: The results showed that social assistance negatively affected stunting, supported by various other indicators such as the proportion of proper sanitation, the average length of schooling, protein consumption, and drinking water sources. Meanwhile, excessive calorie consumption increases stunting in a certain period. Conclusion: In this condition, government social assistance was urgently needed since access to the lowest decile households increased stunting rates. The practical implications for policy derived from these findings involve optimizing the efficiency of social assistance initiatives, emphasizing the significance of addressing environmental factors in programs aimed at preventing stunting, integrating health and nutrition initiatives, and implementing educational campaigns within communities to raise awareness about calorie consumption.

Abstract

Brebes Regency is one of the areas with the highest poverty rates in Central Java. In Kluwut Village, although many residents have relatively high incomes as fishermen, poverty still occurs due to suboptimal household financial management and low awareness of children's nutrition and health. This community service program aims to identify the causes of poverty with a multidimensional approach based on Amartya Sen's theory, including fundamental inability, lack of freedom, and inequality. The methods include field observation, interviews with the community and village officials, and secondary data analysis. The results of the study show that the economic potential of Kluwut Village from the fisheries sector is quite large. However, unhealthy financial practices such as the habit of going into debt and high stunting rates are still a problem. Intervention programs such as providing healthy food and “Posyandu” are considered ineffective due to weak supervision and limited budget. Therefore, financial education is needed for fishing families, strengthening stunting interventions, and validating nutritional measurement tools. Continuous collaboration between academics, local governments, and the private sector is required in order to overcome structural poverty and improve the quality of life of the people in Brebes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of digital transformation on food security in Sumatra. The research utilizes panel data from 154 districts and cities covering the period from 2019 to 2022. Food security levels are measured using the entropy method, while the effects of digital transformation are assessed through spatial panel regression to capture both spatial and temporal variations.The results indicate that digitalization has a significant positive effect on food security in the long run. This suggests that advancements in digital technology contribute to improving food systems, enhancing distribution efficiency, and increasing access to food resources. On the other hand, fiscal decentralization policies are found to have a significant negative effect on food security, implying that disparities in regional governance capabilities may hinder efforts to improve food security across different areas. In addition to digitalization, other factors such as electrification, industrialization, and population growth show significant positive effects on food security. Electrification facilitates better access to energy, which supports agricultural infrastructure and food storage. Industrialization boosts productivity and the development of food supply chains, while population growth, despite increasing food demand, can drive agricultural expansion and improvements in food distribution when managed effectively.Overall, this study highlights the crucial role of digital transformation in enhancing food security, while also emphasizing the need for equitable fiscal policies to reduce regional disparities in food access and availability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of zakat in promoting local inclusive economic growth in Indonesia. This research uses secondary panel data of 34 provinces during 2017-2022. The analysis techniques used in this study include the Poverty Equivalent Growth Rate (PEGR) inclusive economic growth measurement method and the Static Panel Regression Fixed Effect Model. This study concludes that zakat is proven to be an effective instrument in promoting inclusive economic growth in Indonesia, with a significant impact on income distribution even though its potential is still not optimized. Unique findings reveal that inclusive growth recovered faster than GDP post-pandemic, and Eastern Indonesia region showed better progress than Java as the economic center, indicating the existence of growth-versus-equity paradox.

Abstract

This study aims to review the effect of switching costs on rural bank market power. This study is using dynamic panel regression of the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). This paper used panels of 1266 rural banks and 113 Sharia Rural banks from 2013 to 2019. To further analyze this study using Lerner Index as proxies of market power, Bertrand Competitions models as proxies of switching costs, and banking indicators covering bank size, equity, non-interest income, and the burden of allowance for productive assets (Lost Loans Provision). The results show that switching costs have a significant positive effect on the conventional rural bank and negatively affect sharia rural bank's market power. This condition is caused by various reasons, namely the limited choice of rural banks so that consumers survive the switching costs charged. Meanwhile, in sharia rural bank transparency is clearly seen on the side of mudharobah and musyarakah which makes it unable to increase financing margins freely.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced banks to participate in increasing their capacity to accommodate consumers and producers so that there are no prolonged shocks. Sharia rural bank is a type of community bank that can directly contribute to the village level. For this reason, this study aims to analyze the effect of market power on the potential bankruptcy for banking before and after the COVID-19 pandemic by involving banking indicators. The data used in this study is a panel of 113 sharia rural banks throughout Indonesia during 2013-2021. The results show that market forces have a positive effect on banking stability. Meanwhile, equities and economic growth are alleged to be part of the decline in bank risk. When COVID-19 hit, banks found a prolonged crowding out effect due to the absence of financing absorption by consumers. So that it has the opportunity to increase financing for banks that are above the profitability standard.

Abstract

Regional branding is an essential strategic way for increasing the development or progress of a region. Many studies that discuss city branding are associated with the tourism sector or others to increase regional competitiveness. Meanwhile, it is no less important to carry out regional branding, such as green branding, which focuses on global warming issues, to minimize environmental damage. So, regional branding is an increasingly important position because only the government is currently playing a role in promoting regions to create a sustainable living environment. This study aims to analyze the effect of regional branding and other factors, such as fiscal, economic, and social decentralization factors, on improving environmental quality. This study uses panel regression impact: difference in difference to explain the impact before and after branding on environmental quality. The data used was secondary panel data from 34 provinces during 2016-2021. The results showed that urban branding increased the environmental quality index after the Climate Conference 25 (COP25). Meanwhile, fiscal decentralization will likely encourage an increase in the environmental quality index. The increase in urban population and electricity consumption will likely reduce the environmental quality index. In this case, the central government needs to invite local governments and other stakeholders to collaborate and work together to improve regional branding focusing on the environment and environmental mapping qualifications.
