Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effect of applying digital economy in the framework for improving MSMEs’ strength and resilience in Salatiga City before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This research used 134 samples representing all small and medium enterprises in Salatiga City. The data focused in this research related to the application of the digital economy by business actors in Salatiga City. The analytical techniques of this research included descriptive statistics and a multiple linear regression model estimated by ordinary least squares (OLS). The result of this research indicated that the application of the digital economy in the framework for improving MSMEs’ strength and resilience amidst the COVID-19 pandemic was not proven in this study. The variables of the digital economy and total length of business did not significantly affect the turnover of the MSME actors in Salatiga City. Meanwhile, the labor variable proved to have a positive and significant effect on the turnover of the MSME actors in Salatiga City. However, the service business sector has been shown to negatively and significantly impact the turnover of MSME actors. MSMEs engaged in the service business sector tended to have lower turnover than MSMEs engaged in the trade business sector.

Abstract

The issue of reinstating the role of gold in the financial system which was no longer supported by gold since 1971 resurfaced. The role of money based on gold is an attempt to create a stable and fair monetary system. This study tries to see the effect of GDP growth, inflation, dollar exchange rate, and the composite stock price index on gold prices in Indonesia. The analysis technique used is ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag). The results showed that the variables of GDP, inflation, dollar exchange rate, and JCI in the long term ARDL had no significant effect. In the short term for 1991Q1 – 2019Q3 data, the dollar exchange rate variable has a positive effect on gold prices. Meanwhile, in the short term, data for 1999Q2 – 2019Q3 GDP and the dollar exchange rate have a negative effect on gold prices. This shows that in the short term gold can be used as safe storage when the country's economic growth is unstable. The implication of this research is the government and other related parties to continue to increase economic growth and gross domestic product, besides the importance of maintaining economic and political stability in order to ensure the sustainability of the economy in Indonesia, so that inflation can be more controlled and the composite stock price index will improve in the future.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and determine how big the influence of economic growth, population growth, investment growth and the human development index on changes in income inequality in Sulawesi. The novelty of this study is to explore the interrelation of population, investment and human development index (HDI) variables on inequality that occurs in Sulawesi as a whole.The data used in this study is secondary data with the type of panel data, a combination of time series and cross sections from 2010-2020 and 6 provinces in Sulawesi. The method used is the Panel Vector Error Correction Model (PVECM). The results of this study indicate that (1) Changes in Economic Growth have no significant positive effect on changes in Income Inequality, meaning that any increase in changes in Economic Growth can increase changes in Income Inequality in Sulawesi. (2) changes in population have an insignificant negative effect on changes in income inequality, meaning that any increase in population changes can reduce changes in income inequality in Sulawesi. (3) changes in investment growth have a negative and significant effect on changes in income inequality, meaning that any increase in investment changes can reduce changes in income inequality in Sulawesi. (4) changes in HDI have a positive and significant effect on changes in income inequality, meaning that every increase in HDI changes can increase changes in Income Inequality in Sulawesi. (5) Dummy changes have a negative and significant effect on changes in income inequality, meaning that every increase in Dummy changes can reduce changes in Income Inequality in Sulawesi. The implication of this research is that the government needs to increase economic growth and control population growth followed by reducing income inequality, especially in the long term, the government is also expected to increase human resources by creating jobs, decent education and health in order to reduce the problem of inequality in the region. Local governments are expected to be able to formulate investment policies that are more inclusive and oriented towards reducing inequality in Sulawesi so as to create more equitable welfare.

Abstract

The diversity of each region causes different potentials in each region. The potential of the village can map how rich the area is, the advantages of the area, and the population and welfare. Tourism is one of them; this sector is potential for the area because it can lift its economy if it is adequately managed. Good management is born from the policies/regulations of the local government. Nusa Tenggara Barat is a province with many tourist attractions. However, from an economic and socio-cultural perspective, Nusa Tenggara Barat has yet to be able to compete with other major provinces in Indonesia, such as the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). The 2018 Village Potential Data by BPS can assist the government in compiling efforts for the village's progress. In the process of data processing, especially big data, in-depth exploration is needed to produce meaningful insight. Clustering is one of the exploration techniques that can map areas in Nusa Tenggara Barat based on the tourism potential in each village. K-Prototypes are used in cases with mixed variables (numeric and categorical). Determination of the best number of clusters is using the silhouette index. It produced 5 clusters with their respective diversity. There are five clusters in Nusa Tenggara Barat by the villages based on tourism aspects and factors that support tourism. Cluster 3 is an ideal cluster, meaning tourism development in that cluster is complete. Cluster 5 has considerable potential in tourism because the supporting factors are analytically good. There are villages dispersed across Sumbawa Barat, Sumbawa, Lombok Tengah, Lombok Barat, Dompu, and Bima that are part of cluster 1. In Sumbawa Barat and Lombok Tengah, cluster 1 predominates numbers. The settlements in cluster 2 are then more prevalent in Sumbawa and Bima. Furthermore, Sumbawa, Dompu, and Bima have the highest concentrations of cluster 4. Unlike clusters 3 and 5, special attention should be paid to clusters 1, 2, and 4 in tourism development. Implications of this research are the government could take toward each cluster to increase the GDP-oriented service product, namely tourism; whether it is an improvement or reconstruction, clustering analysis works its role in learning the data to make the policy more focused.

Abstract

Bantargebang integrated landfill has been assigned by Jakarta Provincial Government as a landfill for its area. The large amount of waste has a large impact and considered to have more negative impact, thus causing great losses to the local community. Jakarta Provincial Government has provided compensation but there are still complaints from residents that the compensation received has not been able to compensate all losses. This research aims to analyse the amount of compensation funds that should be received by the community and the factors that affect the community's willingness to accept, as well as to examine the impact or externalities felt by residents. The result of analysis show that the community wants a higher compensation fund than before, which is Rp497,540.98 per head of the family per month. Factors that affecting willingness to accept significantly are income, impact-specific expenses, education, type of work and distance of residence. And then there are negative externality caused by Bantargebang integrated landfill that are polluted water, piles of garbage making the air unkind to breathe and health problems. But there are also positive externality that are an increase in regional facilities and infrastructure, the creation of an increase in income and employment. Therefore, it shows the fact that people who are willing to accept compensation are greater than those who are not willing to accept compensation. It means that most people want an increase in the compensation funds they must accept from the existence of the Bantargebang Integrated Landfill. Thus, it should be a good momentum for the government to follow up through supporting actions.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify conditions, characteristics, access, social environment, and opportunities that can be utilized by the poor based on regional typology in Gorontalo Province. From the results of this study, it is hoped that various policies can be formulated to help the poor get out of the poverty trap. Poverty research based on analysis of three regional typologies, namely urban, rural and coastal areas, has never been done before in Gorontalo Province. The method used in this study is descriptive-qualitative method. The types of data used are primary data and secondary data. The study will be carried out in three regional typologies, namely urban, rural and coastal areas, according to the regional characteristics of the Gorontalo Province. The location sampling technique was carried out by taking area samples in stages (multistage area sampling) to determine the research location villages. The population in this study is all poor households living in the six selected sub-districts/villages. Sampling in the six sub-districts/villages surveyed was carried out using a simple random sampling technique. The results of the study show that in general, household vulnerability to poverty seems to be associated with regional aspects, where households living in rural areas have a higher vulnerability than households in urban and coastal areas. From the survey results in three regional typologies (urban, rural, and coastal) in Gorontalo Province, it can be generally concluded that income poverty and non-income poverty are more dominant in poor households in rural areas compared to urban and coastal areas. In other words, those who live in rural areas live in poorer conditions than those who live in urban and coastal areas. From a policy perspective, this means that efforts to reduce poverty in rural areas will be relatively more difficult than the other two regions. The implication of this research is that efforts to reduce poverty in a sustainable manner need to focus more on aspects of improving the quality of human resources for poor households in all regional typologies. The government needs to design various programs that aim to: (i) reduce the number of illiterate poor people and improve their skills; (ii) increasing access of the poor to public services (especially education and health) and economic resources (especially business capital); and (iii) intensifying programs to empower the poor, through the provision of micro credit, assistance with business equipment, work-intensive programs, and others.

Abstract

Labor is one of the important factors in economic development. The number of workers absorbed shows that the economic structure in a region is classified as advanced and running well. This study aims to analyze the influence of population, educational facilities, health facilities, and industrial growth on employment in Blitar City during the 2010-2020 period. The novelty of this study is to try to unravel the problem of employment through a review of demography, education and health facilities and industrial growth. The data used is panel data for 3 sub-districts sourced from BPS Kota Blitar. The results obtained in this study are that simultaneously the independent variables have a significant influence on employment absorption. But partially, the variables of population and health facilities have no effect on employment. The educational facilities variable has a negative but significant effect on employment absorption, and industrial growth has a significant positive influence on employment absorption in Blitar City. The implication of this research is that local governments must pay attention to the rate of population control so that the existing population is able to be absorbed into the available labor opportunities, and increase the guarantee of health facilities for the community.

Abstract

Indonesia's largest revenue comes from taxes which function to fund expenses. The increase in tax revenues must be in line with Indonesia's economic growth which is reflected in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This study analyzes the effect of GDP revenue on total tax revenue in Indonesia during 1988-2021 using control variables including; the money supply (M2), the population (POP), and the amount of exports and imports (XM). GRDP is the main variable because it has 17th sectors which an important in supporting economic growth and increasing the burden of tax objects. This study used a quantitative descriptive method with the Newey-West HAC method. The results showed that this study was unbiased, GDP had a positive-significant effect as indicated by the percentage of GDP growth with an average of 7% during the study period. The control variables that have a positive-significant effect are M2 and XM, and the population is not significant because the increase in the population does not support awareness of paying taxes. When there is an increase in GDP, it can provide an increase in tax revenue, as well as if there is an increase in the money supply (M2) and exports-imports (XM). Increasing revenue in GDP, M2 and XM can support the creation of new revenue objects for taxes, this is what will support the development process, especially in terms of financing. In order to increase financing for the development process, the government continues to seek sources of tax objects, not only from sectors in GDP, but also from potential export-import, and all transactions that can increase the money supply.

Abstract

Government spending is one of the pillars of fiscal decentralisation which plays an important role in overcoming poverty. However, many empirical studies are still being debated, especially at the regional level. Government spending can contribute to reducing poverty depending on the type of government spending. This study focuses on specific types of government spending that contribute to productivity, such as government spending on infrastructure, health, education, and social assistance. The study aims to analyze the effect of regional government expenditures on infrastructure, education, health, social protection, and economic growth on poverty reduction. The measurements of poverty used in this study include Headcount Index, Poverty Gap Index, and Poverty Severity Index. The data were analyzed using a panel data regression from 2015-2020 through multiple regression models directly and indirectly. The estimation results of the direct effect show that only government spending on health can reduce poverty through its three indicators, while government spending on social protection is ineffective. Government expenditures on infrastructure and education are only significant in reducing the income gap between the poor and the depth of poverty. The indirect effect results in the four government spending types being statistically significant on all poverty indicators through accelerating economic growth. Therefore, economic growth at the regional level is an important variable that strengthens the relationship between government spending and poverty reduction for all poverty indicators in the region. In addition, government spending on social protection is helpful for the poor but needs to optimize its utilization with more precise targets.

Abstract

The island of Sumatra, one of the largest contributors to the Indonesian economy, has experienced increased economic growth from time to time, but the acceleration of growth from each province has a different pace. This study aims to analyze the development and convergence of real per capita income that occurred on the island of Sumatra from 2011-2020, using panel data from 10 provinces in it. The novelty of this study incorporates Klassen's analysis as an effort to provide more concrete recommendations as well as the calculation of the half-life value per province which illustrates the convergence speed of each region. This can support the strength of the recommendation. We also divide the two observation periods, namely during normal conditions, and include 2020 as the year the economic shock occurred to compare changes in the convergence rate. Klassen's typology of economic development on the island of Sumatra for the 2016-2020 period shows a shift in the Riau Island Province towards being depressed and Bangka Belitung in the lagging zone. Meanwhile, Aceh Province is getting closer to the potential zone line. The level of inequality from the average value of the Williamson index is classified as moderate and during the year of observation shows an increase in value indicating convergence. The Covid-19 pandemic has reduced inequality, But on the other hand, the pandemic has also caused a decrease in real income in all the provinces observed, which means that welfare has decreased. The half-time value of each province implies economic stagnation that will occur in depressed developed regions and opens up opportunities for underdeveloped regions to spur growth in their real per capita income. In measuring the convergence itself, there was a convergence of real income per capita on the island of Sumatra. In other words, the conditional convergence model has a relatively higher convergence speed than the absolute convergence model. As an implication of the study, efforts to equalize per capita income on the island of Sumatra can be accelerated by spurring economic growth, HDI, and the distribution of gross fixed capital in areas that are in quadrants 3 and 4. Policies in eradicating poverty are a booster in accelerating the convergence process.
