Abstract

Economic growth is a crucial indicator of a nation’s development, and it is influenced by multiple macroeconomic factors. This study examines the macroeconomic factors affecting economic growth in the AANZFTA member countries covering the period from 1970 to 2022 with a sample set that comprises a total of 371 observations. The primary objective is to assess the significance and direction of the effects of exports of goods and services (EXP), gross capital formation (GCF), general government final consumption expenditure (GFE), and inflation consumer prices (INF) on GDP growth. The novelty of this research lies in its inclusion of both developed and developing economies within a unified regional trade bloc of AANZFTA, specifically encompassing the ASEAN countries and the Oceania economies of Australia and New Zealand, a dimension that has not been widely examined in this context. This study adopts a quantitative research approach using secondary data sourced from the World Development Indicators (WDI). Panel regression analysis was conducted using Eviews 10 software, with model diagnostic such as the Hausman test employed to determine the most appropriate model. The results from the random effects model reveal that EXP, and GFE have positive and significant impact on GDP growth. GCF also shows a positive but insignificant effect, while, INF negatively and significantly affects GDP growth. These findings suggest that policies aimed at enhancing exports, increasing government spending on productive sectors, and managing inflation are crucial for fostering sustainable economic growth in the AANZFTA member countries. This study provides valuable policy implications for both developed and developing member states. Further research should consider expanding the country sample and incorporating macroeconomic variables to deepen the understanding of growth dynamics in the region.

Abstract

The Balanced Inclusive Green Growth Index (BIGGI) offers a comprehensive framework for evaluating sustainable development by integrating economic, social, and environmental dimensions. This study aims to assess the application of BIGGI across Java Island, Indonesia, a key region contributing significantly to the nation’s GDP and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using cross-sectional data from 2023 and factor analysis, the research identifies disparities among 107 districts and cities. Results reveal that 68 regions achieved high BIGGI scores (>1.000), reflecting a balance in green growth dimensions, while 13 regions scored ≤0.500 due to economic stagnation despite strong social indices. The methodology includes data normalization using the Min-Max approach and factor analysis validated through the Bartlett and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) tests. These techniques consolidate multiple variables into a single composite index. Findings emphasize the need for targeted local government interventions, particularly in low-performing regions, to address economic disparities through infrastructure development, renewable energy investments, and policy enhancements. This research contributes to sustainable development literature by providing actionable insights for policymakers to implement equitable and inclusive green growth strategies. The study underscores the utility of BIGGI as a replicable framework for regions with similar socio-economic and environmental challenges, aligning local development efforts with global SDGs.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of government expenditure on employment across Indonesia’s regional economies, incorporating private investment as a mediating variable and region as a moderating variable. Using data from 2010 to 2022, the analysis focuses on five categories of government spending: general, housing and settlement, economic, education, and health. A multigroup path analysis model is employed to examine both direct and indirect effects of these expenditures on employment. The results reveal that government spending has a stronger impact on employment in the western region compared to the eastern region. Regional differences significantly moderate the relationship between government expenditure and private investment, particularly in general, economic, education, and health spending. In contrast, housing and settlement expenditure consistently affect both regions. Furthermore, private investment significantly enhances employment, especially in the western provinces. These findings underscore the importance of accounting for regional disparities in fiscal policy design and provide valuable insights for developing more effective and equitable regional economic strategies in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores how farmers in Bulukerto Village, Batu City, rationally diversify their livelihoods amid an agricultural crisis and expanding tourism. It addresses three core questions; (1) how farmers respond to agrarian decline through diversification, (2) how unequal access, social capital, and agrarian identity influence their decisions, and (3) how theoretical synthesis explains this dynamic within structural constraints. The research combines James S. Coleman’s Rational Choice Theory, which highlights decisions based on material and non-material resources, cost-benefit logic, values, and social norms, with Henry Bernstein’s political economy approach, which emphasizes power structures, asset control, and class relations. To bridge these perspectives, the study also draws on the concepts of bounded rationality and embedded agency. A qualitative case study approach was used, focusing on farmers in Bulukerto Village, Bumiaji Subdistrict, Batu City. Data collection techniques included semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and document review. Thematic analysis identifies three diversification types: (1) capital-based, involving formal tourism ventures by farmers with financial or institutional access; (2) labor-based, such as driving or guiding, pursued by low-capital farmers through informal networks; and (3) informal household-scale strategies led by women or youth, often using digital platforms. This study concludes that sustainable rural diversification requires equitable access to productive resources, digital upskilling, and inclusive tourism programs that preserve agrarian identity. It offers a multi-level analytical lens that integrates agency, social structure, and local context in understanding livelihood transitions in post-agrarian rural areas. Policy recommendations call for transparent resource allocation in tourism, empowering farmer cooperatives for fair benefit-sharing, and promoting agritourism that balances traditional land use with new income streams.
