Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of income inequality, average length of schooling, and social assistance on poverty levels in the Gerbangkertosusila region during the period 2020–2024. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The analysis method used is panel data regression with a Fixed Effect Model (FEM) selected through the Chow Test and Hausman Test. The results show that average length of schooling has a significant and negative effect on poverty, indicating that increased access to and achievement in education can reduce the economic vulnerability of communities. In addition, social assistance has been shown to have a significant impact on reducing poverty, underscoring the importance of social protection programs as a means of improving the welfare of poor households. Conversely, income inequality does not have a significant effect on poverty, meaning that income inequality is not yet a dominant factor in changes to poverty levels in the region. These findings emphasize that strengthening the quality of education and optimizing the distribution of social assistance are key strategies for accelerating poverty reduction efforts in the Gerbangkertosusila region.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the structural contribution of local taxes, local levies, and Transfers to Regions and Village Funds (TKKD) in forming regional revenue in Banten Province for the period 2016–2024. This study uses secondary data from the Budget Realization Report (LRA) of districts/cities in Banten Province over nine years of observation, resulting in 72 panel data observations. The analysis method used is panel data regression with a Fixed Effect Model. The results indicate that local taxes, local levies, and TKKD each make a positive and significant contribution to regional revenue. Comparatively, local levies have the largest coefficient (2.4213116), followed by local taxes (1.389492) and TKKD (0.4124826). The R-squared value of 0.7339 indicates that the independent variables explain 73.39% of the variation in regional revenue. Given that the independent variables are structural components of regional revenue, the estimates reflect fiscal sensitivity rather than pure causal relationships. This finding indicates that even though Local Own-Source Revenue capacity has increased, fiscal dependence on central government transfers remains considerable. This study contributes by integrating the TKKD variable into provincial-level panel data analysis and presenting the latest empirical evidence on the structure of regional fiscal dependence in Banten Province. The policy implications emphasize the importance of optimizing local tax and levy collection and strengthening fiscal independence to reduce the dominance of central transfers in the regional revenue structure.
