Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of fiscal transfers from the central government and income inequality on human development in Central Kalimantan Province over the period 2020–2024. Despite steady increases in fiscal funds and improvements in human development indicators, the province continues to face challenges from persistent income inequality that limits equitable progress. Previous research often examines fiscal funds and inequality separately, leaving a gap in understanding their simultaneous effects at the local level. The objective is to examine how general allocation funds, special allocation funds, and the Gini index jointly influence the human development index using panel data from 13 regencies and 1 city. The analysis employs a fixed effect model selected after appropriate statistical tests. The results reveal that both general allocation funds and special allocation funds have significant positive effects on the human development index, with special allocation funds showing a slightly stronger contribution. In contrast, the Gini index exerts a significant negative effect, indicating that higher income inequality substantially hinders human development. The model explains 78 percent of the variation in the human development index. These findings highlight the importance of effective fiscal management combined with targeted strategies to reduce income inequality. Policymakers in Central Kalimantan should prioritize transparent use of fiscal transfers in education and health sectors while implementing inclusive programs to lower inequality, ensuring more equitable and sustainable human development across the province.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in economic development, yet many struggle to achieve sustainable performance due to limited managerial capacity and resources. This study investigates the influence of financial literacy, business capital, and time management on the performance of MSMEs. Using a quantitative approach, data from 100 MSME respondents were analyzed using SPSS to examine relationships and test hypotheses through multiple linear regression and statistical analysis. The results indicate that all three independent variables have a significant effect on MSMEs performance both individually and collectively. Among them, financial literacy and time management were identified as the most influential predictors, while business capital had a relatively smaller effect. The model’s determination coefficient (R² = 0.586) suggests that approximately 58.6% of the variation in MSMEs performance can be explained by these variables. This study demonstrates that managerial capacity, especially financial literacy and time management, has a greater effect on MSMEs’ success than capital alone, suggesting policies should focus on capacity-building rather than just funding. This study contributes to the strategic development of competency-based MSMEs empowerment models tailored to regional contexts.
