Abstract

The understanding that high growth does not guarantee an increase in the welfare of society as a whole is the cause of the increasing popularity of the concept of inclusive growth. inclusive growth is found in Indonesia's National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2015-2019 and RPJMN 2020-2024. This indicates that the Indonesian government is very concerned with more equitable growth. But there is no measure that is able to describe inclusive growth. In empirical studies also still use a variety of measures. For that we try to promote one measure of inclusive growth with a pro-poor growth measure approach. Our measure has proven to be able to explain growth, poverty reduction and inequality better than other measures. We also analyze the determinants of inclusive growth using panel data. We place greater emphasis on the role of low-income communities in inclusive growth.

Abstract

As a business sector with a fairly large contribution to national output, government support for Micro, Small, Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is increasingly being increased, even though the ratio of MSME credit to total national credit is still very small.  Capital difficulties are a classic problem faced by MSMEs, but the high growth of MSMEs is a gap that shows the resilience of MSMEs. Therefore, this study wants to analyze whether the existence of MSMEs encourages economic growth, or vice versa, economic growth must be boosted to increase MSMEs. This study investigates the causal relationship and long-term stability conditions between MSME credit distribution variables and Indonesia's economic growth in the 2011 - 2019 period, using Direct Error Correction Model causality on panel data. The estimation result shows that MSME credit distribution has a positive and significant relationship to economic growth only in a long term. On the other hand, the causal relationship between MSME credit and economic growth is not proven, which means that there is no reciprocal relationship between credit and economic growth, or said in here demand following hypothesis is not proven

Abstract

The distortion model becomes a problem in development planning, including in the development goals of reducing discrimination and concerns. These two things are closely related to gender expectations on work participation. The purpose of this study was to estimate the gender pay gap at the work participation rate of household heads in Magelang during the Covid-19 pandemic. The analytical tools used are Probit regression and the decomposition of the Blinder-Oaxaca model. The model decomposes wage differentials by gender. The study uses the 2020 SAKERNAS data. The results show that work participation for male household heads is determined by the marginal effect of work experience, age and area of residence, not education level and number of family dependents, while female household heads are only determined because of the number factor. family responsibilities. Furthermore, the potential work experience of male household heads has a significant negative effect. Research findings from the Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition calculation show that the difference in wages between groups of household heads during the Covid 19 pandemic proved statistically significant. The role of the government is expected to be more active in disseminating policies related to gender in the labor market and exercising control over business actors in implementing labor regulations.

Abstract

The existence of the Covid-19 pandemic, which hampers mobility and productivity, creates a slowdown in the movement of the wheels of the economy, thus indirectly requiring several countries to increase their sources of revenue through public debt to meet the needs of the people and maintain economic stability in each country. the problems faced by middle-income countries are related to the participation of government and other public institutions both in the formulation of public policies, the management of public resources, to the realization of human rights that should be free from abuse of the position of relevant policymakers. As a result, not a few countries experience uncertainty about the actual situation from public accounts, which has encouraged the creation of doubts and conflicts among the public about the role of governments in dealing with the global economic crisis, which among others, is illustrated through several economic problems that occur in middle-income countries. The purpose of this study is to answer the question of whether, in middle-income countries, the factors of the previous year's debt-to-GDP ratio, fiscal transparency, corruption, and e-budgeting simultaneously and partially influence the debt-to-GDP balance in 74 middle-income countries in 2021. The method used is OLS regression analysis of cross-section data. This study found that the previous year's debt accumulation significantly affected the debt ratio to GDP. Meanwhile, fiscal transparency and the implementation of e-budgeting hurt the insignificant debt-to-GDP ratio; corruption has a little positive effect on the debt-to-GDP ratio.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of Indonesia's GDP per capita, GDP per capita destination country, real exchange rate, the population of the destination country, the distance between Indonesia and the country's objectives, and the variable of the Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) dummy for Indonesia's coal exports by using the gravity model. This study uses panel model regression with a research period of 2012-2022. The study results show that Indonesia's GDP per capita variable significantly negatively affects exports of Indonesian coal. GDP per capita of the destination country, the population of the destination country, the real exchange rate, and dummy DMO significantly positively affect Indonesia's coal exports. Whereas distance has no significant impact on Indonesia's coal exports
