Abstract

This study highlights both direct and indirect linkages mediated by economic growth, as it investigates the effects of fiscal decentralization on poverty levels in South Sulawesi Province between 2004 and 2024. The General Allocation Fund (DAU), Special Allocation Fund (DAK), Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH), and Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) are the four main fiscal mechanisms that are the focus of this study. Using route analysis with time-series data in SPSS, this study reveals several important findings. Poverty levels are significantly negatively impacted by economic growth. As a mediating variable, DAU shows a strong positive relationship with poverty, but DAK and PAD show notable negative relationships. DBH, on the other hand, does not demonstrate a noteworthy indirect impact on poverty via the conduit of economic expansion. The findings suggest that the efficacy of fiscal decentralization in alleviating poverty varies among different fiscal instruments, with DAK and PAD yielding the most beneficial results when implemented in programs that foster economic growth. These insights provide critical guidance for policymakers aiming to enhance the effectiveness of fiscal decentralization strategies in combating poverty in South Sulawesi Province.

Abstract

Fiscal policy serves as a crucial instrument for the government in managing economic conditions through state revenue and expenditure. However, the implementation of such policies often triggers public discontent, especially when it involves tax increases. This study explores the dynamics of social resistance to the tax hike policy enacted in Pati Regency, Central Java, in 2025. The research is grounded in the widespread protests by small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) actors who felt disadvantaged by the policy. A qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, direct field observation, and analysis of relevant documents. The findings reveal that social resistance was driven by inadequate public outreach, limited transparency in how tax funds were utilized, and perceptions of unfair tax burdens across business sectors. The study concludes that a more participatory, accountable, and locally adaptive fiscal policy is necessary to reduce the risk of social conflict and to ensure sustainable public revenue collection.
