Abstract

Nowadays, trade liberalization is considered as development strategy policy to increase economic growth and reduce poverty in many countries, particularly in developing countries. It is reported that Indonesia has been actively joining many trade agreements in order to ease the distribution of goods and services to other countries. Hence, this study analyses the impact of trade liberalization on poverty reduction by using an Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method from 1984 to 2017. The Trade Openness Ratio (TOR) is used as a dependent variable in order to measure trade liberalization. Other variables such as GDP, exchange rate and labor force are considered as control variables. The empirical result shows that TOR and labor force have a positive impact on poverty, whereas GDP and exchange rate have a negative impact. This finding is different with previous researches, particularly where trade liberalization has been negatively affecting poverty. Such a result is justifiable because Indonesian firms are not ready to compete with foreign firms where high competitiveness exist.

Abstract

Foreign tourism is indicated as one of the important instruments to encourage economic growth in several countries, including Indonesia. However, some studies only focus on the influence of tourist arrivals. Thus, the main objective of this study is to take a deeper look at the contribution of foreign tourism indicators to economic growth in Indonesia. Using panel data analysis from 33 countries between 2006 and 2016, this study applies three models: Pooled Least Square (PLS), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (FEM). Based on the fixed-effect model, this study reveals that foreign tourist arrivals have a significant and positive effect on economic growth. However, other tourism indicators such as length of stay and expenditure of foreign tourists appear to have no contribution to economic growth. From these findings, it can be implied that the Indonesian government should not only attract more tourists to come but also design strategies to encourage tourists to spend more money and stay longer. This study also finds that depreciation of Indonesian currency and visa-free policies have a significant contribution to higher economic growth.

Abstract

In recent decades, the debate about the impacts of economic globalization through free trade has become attention to public policy. One important issue to address is related to environ­mental quality. It has been fifteen years since ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) was firstly signed and the total trade flows between ASEAN countries and China have grown around US$ 20 billion per year. Under the ACFTA commitment, tariff rates for exports from China to ASEAN countries have been reduced gradually and so have the tariff rates of ASEAN exports to China. This paper attempts to investigate whether expanded trade causes environmental damage in Indonesia. As the main largest economy in ASEAN, Indonesia has greatly contributed to the pollution released in ASEAN area. Using industrial pollution projection system developed by World Bank in 1995, it has been found that the estimated amounts of pollution have been in­creasing by approximately five times in Indonesia after fifteen years of ACFTA implementation. Even though the share of export of most polluting sectors has been decreasing, its contribution on the pollution intensity remains the largest. Since chemicals become the most polluting sector with its rapid growing in export to China, this sector needs to be considered in trade negotiations in order to lessen negative impacts of trade to the environment.

Abstract

Budget underperformance remains a persistent problem in Indonesia’s decentralized fiscal system, where many provinces struggle to achieve efficient and accountable spending despite transparency initiatives. Weak digital infrastructure often limits citizens’ ability to access and monitor fiscal information, reducing the effectiveness of open governance efforts. This study investigates the determinants of provincial budget performance by focusing on the interplay between fiscal transparency and digital infrastructure. Using panel data from 34 provinces from 2014 to 2024, a two-way fixed-effects regression model examines how transparency, internet penetration, and their interaction influence budget realization. Control variables include budget adaptability, GDP per capita, population size, and intergovernmental transfer ratios. The findings indicate that both transparency and internet penetration significantly improve budget performance, and their interaction strengthens this effect, suggesting that digital readiness amplifies the benefits of transparency. Conversely, budget adaptability, population, and transfer dependency hinder performance, while higher GDP per capita enhances it. These findings confirm that fiscal reforms are context-dependent and require enabling technological conditions. Future research should employ mixed-methods or experimental designs to examine the causal mechanisms linking digital inclusion and fiscal accountability, particularly in less-connected provinces seeking to improve public financial management outcomes.
