Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between total capital expenditure and the dynamics of the Human Development Index, economic growth rate, and poverty level at the district/city level in East Nusa Tenggara during the period 2013 to 2023. The information analyzed is sourced from panel secondary data compiled through official publications from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Finance. The approach used in the analysis process is path analysis utilizing SmartPLS. The results indicate that capital expenditure significantly influences economic growth and reduces poverty, but does not influence the HDI. Additionally, both the HDI and economic growth are shown to significantly and negatively influence poverty rates. Other findings revealed that capital expenditure influences poverty through economic growth. The findings suggest that while the allocation of capital expenditure is effective in stimulating the economy and reducing poverty rates, its contribution to human development has not yet reached an optimal level. Therefore, more targeted policy formulation and equitable budget distribution are needed to support inclusive and sustainable development in East Nusa Tenggara Province.

Abstract

Absolute poverty in East Java Province remains a structural problem influenced by development disparities, labor market conditions, and the quality of human development, with a slower rate of poverty reduction compared to the national average. This study aims to examine the influence of independent variables, namely capital expenditures, social aids expenditures, open unemployment rate (OUR), Human Development Index (HDI), and education level (proxied by average years of schooling) on absolute poverty in regencies and cities in East Java during the 2015–2024 period. The study employs a quantitative approach using panel data from 38 regencies and cities, analyzed via panel data regression. The results indicate that social aids expenditures, HDI, and education level contribute to reducing absolute poverty, while OUR increases absolute poverty. Meanwhile, lagged capital expenditures does not show a strong short-term contribution to poverty reduction.

Abstract

Poverty reduction remains a critical challenge in regional development, particularly in en-suring that public spending effectively translates into improved welfare outcomes. This study aims to examine the effects of education and health expenditures on poverty, with the Human Development Index (HDI) as a mediating variable. Employing a quantitative approach, the research utilizes panel data from 35 regencies/cities in Central Java Province over the period 2018–2023 and applies path analysis using a Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The results indicate that education and health expenditures do not have a significant direct impact on poverty levels. In contrast, HDI is found to have a significant negative effect on poverty, suggesting that improvements in human development contribute to poverty re-duction. Furthermore, mediation analysis reveals that HDI does not mediate the relation-ship between education expenditure and poverty, but it significantly mediates the effect of health expenditure on poverty. These findings imply that the effectiveness of government spending in reducing poverty depends not merely on budget allocation, but on its capacity to enhance human development outcomes.

Abstract

Income inequality remains a structural challenge in Java Island despite its advanced infrastructure, a phenomenon known as the "Java Paradox". This study aims to analyze the influence of basic infrastructure, comprising clean water, electricity, and roads, on income inequality across 5 provinces in Java from 2014 to 2024. This study employs a quantitative approach using panel data consisting of 55 observations. The analytical method used is panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach and White Period correction to address autocorrelation issues. The results show that electricity infrastructure has a negative and significant effect on income inequality, indicating that increased electricity access effectively drives productive economic activities for low-income households. Conversely, road and clean water infrastructure were found to have a positive but insignificant effect. These findings suggest the presence of a spatial mismatch phenomenon where road development benefits have not been evenly distributed. Policy implications suggest prioritizing electricity quality as a key instrument for inclusive growth and re-evaluating road development strategies to ensure a greater impact on economic equity.

Abstract

The still relatively high poverty rate in Aceh Province highlights the urgency of evaluating the effectiveness of local government spending as a fiscal policy instrument for improving public welfare. This study aims to analyze the impact of capital expenditures, goods and services expenditures, the Special Allocation Fund (DAK), and the Revenue-Sharing Fund (DBH) on poverty levels. The study employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression on 23 regencies/cities in Aceh Province during the 2018–2023 period, utilizing secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance. The results indicate that capital expenditure and DAK have no effect on poverty, whereas expenditure on goods and services and DBH have a negative and significant effect. These findings suggest that expenditures oriented toward public services are more effective in reducing poverty. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of optimizing the allocation and effectiveness of local government spending to ensure it is more targeted in supporting sustainable poverty reduction.
