Abstract

This study explores the relationship between social capital and conflict in the post Suharto regime in Indonesia. We employed a combination of cross-section datasets from the Social and Cultural Module of the 2009 National Socio- Economic Survey (SUSENAS) and the media-based conflict data from National Violence Monitoring System (NVMS) of 2010–2014 in Indonesia. Using Binomial Negative Regression, our empirical analysis shows that the past social capital stocks negatively correlate with future conflict intensity. This pattern applies to most conflict types. This result indicates that the social capital stock in 2009 is more likely to be the starting point determining the conflict vulnerability in the subsequent period. Furthermore, the evaluation of the components of social capital reveals that the most crucial type of social capital is trust in neighbors, the government, and local officials. The district with high trust is less prone to conflict.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the demand for food among Indonesian households, consisting of foods prepared at home (FPAH) and food away from home (FAFH). Utilizing longitudinal data from the National Socioeconomic Survey 2011-2013, combined with the Village Potential Statistics, the study estimates the demand with the Linear Approximated Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS). The results show that both FPAH and FAFH are normal goods, but FAFH is more elastic than FPAH. Additionally, in terms of income elasticity, we found that households show stronger responses in consumption on FAFH, compared to FPAH. We also present heterogeneity analysis on different types of household characteristics.

Abstract

In crisis moments, massive liquidity supports, extensive cash withdrawal, and large reserve hoarding can all lead to the change in monetary base, currency ratio, and reserve ratio respectively. In turn, all these disruptions could cause money supply to change. This research aims to find out which factor (among the change in monetary base, currency ratio, and reserve ratio) became the main causal factor of increasing money supply in Indonesia during 1997–1998 crisis. The method follows mathematical equation models used by Friedman & Schwartz (1963) and Stauffer (2006) in analyzing Great Depression in the US. This research has found that the change in monetary base in Indonesia during 1997–1998 crisis became the main cause of increasing money supply in that period. This result is consistent with what the other literatures had said.

Abstract

The world has reached the industry 4.0, where technological developments have been widely applied to electronic payment, with no exception on Muslim countries. This study aims to investigate association between sociodemographic and financial inclusion in country D-8 in the probability of using online financial transactions. Using The Global Findex 2017 from D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation included in OIC countries and the logistic regression, this study explores the effect of sociodemographic namely gender, education, income status and working status on online financial transactions users. Using control variables such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Inflation and Exchange reta, results show that, there is a gender imbalance between men and women in using online transaction to access formal services. On the other hand, individuals who have higher level of education, upper-middle income and high-income, and those who work are more financially inclusive in using online transaction. In conclusion, those with higher sociodemographic status are more likely to use online transaction to access formal financial services. The government and third parties can use this study as policy recommendations for expanding online transaction as well as financial inclusion in developing Muslim countries.

Abstract

This study aims to test the presence of spillover effects and political yardstick competition in both mandatory and discretionary spending among local governments in Indonesia. A spatial econometrics model was employed to evaluate data from 410 districts/municipalities in Indonesia from 2010 to 2018. The findings confirm spillover effects in spending decisions among local governments. The empirical analysis also reveals that political factors drive horizontal interactions in mandatory spending, while such influences are absent in discretionary spending.

Abstract

The primary objectives of this study are threefold: first, to investigate whether the challenges faced by micro and small industries motivate them to enter into partnerships; second, to assess the impact of partnerships on company productivity; and third, to explore the causal relationship between productivity and exports. We aim to determine whether productivity influences exports and vice versa or if a two-way relationship exists. The data used in this study consists of annual survey data from micro and small manufacturing companies, randomly collected by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2015, with a total sample of 58,290 observations. The methodologies employed include Propensity Score Matching (PSM) to address endogeneity and selection bias issues when measuring the impact of partnerships on productivity. In addition, the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) framework involves logit regression estimation to assess whether perceived problems influence decisions regarding partnerships and training. The second stage of our analysis employs Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) estimation to investigate the simultaneity of productivity and exports. The results indicate that issues related to capital and raw materials significantly motivate companies to engage in partnerships, both in a general context and specific concerning capital and raw materials. Conversely, marketing issues do not significantly influence on marketing partnerships, although they do play a significant role in fostering general partnerships. Meanwhile, issues related to workforce skills do not appear to impact a company’s decision to engage in partnerships or conduct training programs. In terms of production and export estimation, general and specific partnerships demonstrated significantly higher positive impacts on productivity for companies that engage in these collaborative efforts. The 2SLS estimates support the findings from the PSM analysis, confirming that general and specific partnerships improve productivity. Furthermore, the simultaneous relationship estimation reveals a bidirectional relationship between productivity and exports.

Abstract

Financial inclusion is widely recognized as a key driver of economic prosperity, yet many countries face considerable challenges in achieving it. This study empirically explores financial inclusion in Indonesia, focusing on bank account ownership and credit access, with the primary objective of identifying their determinants through a comparison of individual- and regional-level factors. Individual-level factors cover sociodemographic characteristics, poverty, and income inequality, while regional-level factors include regional economic development and financial infrastructure. Data were sourced from the National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) and the Village Potential Survey (PODES), consisting of 804,703 samples across 514 districts. A multilevel regression approach, using Generalized Linear Latent and Mixed Models (GLLAMM), was employed to estimate the contributions of these factors to bank account ownership and credit access. Results reveal gaps in credit access and bank account ownership across regions, with individual-level factors emerging as prominent determinants of financial inclusion compared to district-level factors.

Abstract

We examine the decomposition of technical efficiency components into transient and persistent horizons applied to the 33 provincial economies in Indonesia. Focusing on the post-decentralization era in 2002–2022, we employ Stochastic Frontier Analysis to gauge efficiency dynamics for time-variant and time-invariant evolution. We reveal that the persistent inefficiencies outweigh transient ones, implying the persistent inefficient behavior of Indonesian provinces. We also capture that East Nusa Tenggara and several provinces in Eastern Indonesia show the most lagged-behind in terms of persistent inefficiency severity, suggesting necessity of structural changes through more strategic and specific development models beyond mere heterogeneous input reallocation.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of financial literacy, financial attitude, risk perception, and financial behavior on investment decisions. Employing a survey method with 342 respondents in Jakarta, the findings reveal that financial literacy has a negative and insignificant effect on investment decisions. In contrast, risk perception plays a crucial role in influencing investment decisions. Furthermore, financial behavior has an indirect mediating effect between financial literacy and risk perception on investment decisions but does not affect financial attitude. This study concludes that risk perception and financial behavior are important factors in investment decisions. Future research may consider incorporating other variables such as herding behavior or overconfidence.

Abstract

Mental disorders can result in more significant economic losses than chronic physical illnesses. Mental disorders can be influenced by both economic and non-economic factors. This study investigates the influence of marital status and economic status interventions on depression symptoms with Propensity Score Matching (PSM). The data of this analysis was obtained from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS V). The findings indicated that individuals who were married experienced a 6% reduction in depressive symptoms, while those in the middle to high economic status category experienced a 3% decrease. Enhancing well-being and promoting effective communication play crucial roles in mitigating depressive symptoms.
