Abstract

Although official figures show that poverty in Indonesia has declined, it remains one of the keydevelopment issues. The current static poverty approach in assessing poverty changes has not been sufficientto design effective and strategic policies for poverty reduction. This study analyses the dynamicsof poverty in Indonesia using the 2008–2010 panel data of the Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional(Susenas), the National Socio-Economic Survey. This study uses a sequential transition matrix to depictthe dynamics of poverty that are shown by the magnitude of changes in poverty status (especially transientand chronic poverty). The matrix indicates that the incidence of transient and chronic povertyfor the period 2008–2010 was 23.2 per cent, much higher than the figure of 13.3 per cent derivedby using the static poverty approach in 2010. This suggests that the magnitude of the poverty problemin Indonesia is indeed much higher than the common perception that is based on the usual povertyindicators. The results of a multinomial logistic model reconfirm the importance of investment ineducation, improvement in the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, and reduction of dependencyratios to help cope with transient and chronic poverty. To help develop poverty alleviation policy andto design intervention programs, using the statistics of chronic poverty and the Human DevelopmentIndex, there are eight provinces that could be considered as the core focus area. These provinces areNangroe Aceh Darussalam, Lampung, East Java, East Nusa Tenggara, Central Sulawesi, South EastSulawesi, Maluku, and West Papua, and all need immediate intervention and accelerated povertyreduction programs.Keywords: Geographical targeting, Multinomial logistic, Poverty dynamics, Transient and chronicpoverty, Sequential transition

Abstract

Fossil fuel reserves are diminishing and coal bed methane (CBM) has been regarded as a potentialreplacement energy source because Indonesia’s CBM reserves are enormous, up to 453 trillion cubicfeet. To boost investment in CBM development in Indonesia, support in the form of fiscal incentivesis needed. By analysing the effects of incentives on CBM’s selling price this study assesses whether theforms of incentives provided by the government so far have been appropriate and sufficient. This studyuses economic modelling to calculate the effect of incentives on the economics of CBM developmentin Indonesia. The results of this study show that incentives will have a significant effect on CBM’seconomic price if there is a composite of different forms of incentive. Nevertheless, in implementingan incentives policy it is important to consider the effect fiscal incentives will have on the reduction ofthe subsidy for electricity.Keywords: CBM, Fiscal incentive, Economic price

Abstract

Connectivity is one of the key factors that are important to accelerate economic integration betweenASEAN and India. Improved connectivity is critical to increase ASEAN–India economic relationsand to strengthen ASEAN–India’s share in regional and global production networks. To buildand strengthen this connectivity, several strategic measures are needed. First, there is a need for a clearregional connectivity framework, a multi-modal, multi-functional and multi-tier approach, whichincludes land, maritime and air connectivity. Second, there is a need to establish strong regional institutionsfor cooperation in terms of planning, managing and funding the infrastructure needs. Third,ASEAN and India need to address wide infrastructure variations within their member countries andstates. Specifically, significant resources and time must be dedicated to build and strengthen infrastructurein Myanmar and the northeastern region of India, given their strategic location as the connectingnodes of ASEAN–India connectivity. For infrastructure development, there must be a clear strategyto encourage more private sector participation. Public–private partnership seems not only promisingbut also challenging given the complexity and cost of infrastructure investment. A fair distribution ofrisk remains a big constraint to the promotion of public–private partnerships. Fourth, ASEAN–Indiaconnectivity should be integrated with regional development plans and linked to the internationalproduction network. And finally, there is a need for strong political commitment to execute most of thepolicies and strategies that have been agreed to by the ASEAN countries and India.Keywords: Connectivity, Transport, Regional integration, ASEAN, India
