<![CDATA[Poverty is one of the goals of the concept of sustainable development. Sustainable Development itself has many indicators such as economic, social, cultural, environment, etc. But in this study, the authors take only a few factors from an economic point of view. Economic growth, open unemployment rate, regional imbalance rate and human development index are some factors that are considered to describe poverty level in East Java Province. This research uses Fixed Effect (FEM) model panel data regression in 38 regencies/cities in East Java Province in 2011-2015. The results of this study indicate that the variables of economic growth and open unemployment variables have no significant effect in describing the level of poverty in East Java. While the variable level of regionalimbalance and variable of HDI have the significant effect on poverty in East Java. Therefore, to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), the reduction of poverty in various regions requires a balance of social and economic, not only through the increase of high economic growth but must be accompanied with equitable distribution of income distribution so that the level of regional inequality is smaller and by improving the quality of resources human beings through Human Development Index (HDI) in each region.]]>

<![CDATA[Waste management can reduce negative impacts on the environment, even if garbage is properly managed has economic value that is promising. Recycling is one of the businesses on waste minimization at the source of generation such as the Household and the Market must be addressed in the Final Disposal. more effective. This study aims to determine the economic value for the garbage collector. Does this activity has to be developed prosfek? This research is also expected to assist the government in formulating policies, among others, (1) the alleviation of poverty; (2) to determine the characteristics of the waste; (3) to determine the value of the sale of inorganic waste; (4) the value of marketing margin recycling efforts. For that determined the variables expected to affect the economy of scavengers that radius trash pickup, work experience, gender and the mode of transport used scavengers. Primary data were collected from households, markets, scavengers, agents of small and large agents inorganic waste recycling business. Descriptive analysis methods include behavioral analysis, analysis of the characteristics of household rubbish, garbage value analysis of inorganic and margin analysis. Linear Regression analysis method (Ordinary Least Square) to see the effect of these variables on the path towards economic scavengers Household and Final Disposal. The results of this study indicate that the variable radius waste pick-up and work experience scavengers positive effect on the economic value of the landfill scavengers either on line or lines of Household. Trash aqua glass, waste paper HVS, copper and garbage bins clear glass bottle is a kind of inorganic waste which has a high sales value per kilogram. Household garbage Marketing paths more effectively and profitably than the path landfill. Household scavenger pathway is more prosperous than landfill scavengers path. Public awareness is still low in maintaining the environment. Development activities in the Garbage Bank program has prospects for poverty reduction.]]>

Data obtained from secondary data is exchange rate, inflation, GDP, interest rates and the current account data from 2000:1 up to 2010:4. The model used in this study is the econometric model by the method of Vector Autoregressive (VAR) that in their analysis the instrument has Impulse Response Function (IRF) and Variance Decomposition (VD). The results of this study concluded that (1) All variable giving each other random shock to other variables and response by each variable so as to achieve long-term equilibrium. This is shown on the estimation IRF test on each variable; (2) All variables are mutually contribute to other variables. It is shown by the results of estimation VD test, in which each variable contributed to other variables.]]>

<![CDATA[Economic development is measured by economic growth. Improving the economy can improve the quality of life in society, so a lot of effort from the government to stimulate the economy to grow better. The positive growth of economy has an impact on the environmental quality of life such as degradation of quality of air, water and land. The government allocates some funds to maintain the quality of the environment by the central budget allocation for environmental functions. The purpose of this study is to measure the impact of the budget allocation for the function of the environment to economic growth. The model used to achieve the purpose of the study is the regression of total government spending to economic growth. To bridge from the expenditure function of the environment against government spending and economic growth model is used Growth Accounting Model. Results of regression calculations and simulations using Growth Accounting, shows expenditures for environmental function has the effect to increase the economic growth of 0.01% if no additional growth in the rest of expenditures for environmental functions by 10% ceteris paribus.]]>

<![CDATA[This study is specifically aims to elaborate on the economic valuation that consists of: (1) Investment costs and (2) Operating Costs of the alternative waste management technology which can be applied to the final processing of Municipalities Solid Waste. The results of the simulation shows that the Biodrying with the combination of Incenerator or Gasification is the technology that has the least operational costs with an average of 10.907 million Euro per year of its operational costs. On the other hand the Aerobic MBT (Mechanical Biological Treatment) without the production of RDF (refuse Derivative Fuel) technology is a technology that requires the highest operational costs with an average of 15,808 million Euro per year. In terms of the initial investment costs both Biological Treatment technology has the lower value compare to the two Thermal Treatment technologies.]]>

Therefore, a certain sectorspecific fiscal policies have considerable impact in influencing greenhouse gases. This study aims to provide an analysis of fiscal policy scenarios that can affect greenhouse gases, so that could explain what sector-specific fiscal policies that can increase the risk of climate change. This research uses the model of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) based fiscal policy held by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia named AGEFIS (Applied General Equilibrium Model for Fiscal). The scenario is to decrease fosil fuel subsidy that can produce CO2 emision. The results shows that decreasing fossil fuel subsidies can reduce the CO2 emission, but with high consequences.

Meanwhile, the Gross Regional Domestic Product on agriculture sector has a positive relationship and has a significantto the investment on agriculture sector. The value of regression coefficientby 0,191 indicates that when the GRDP on agriculture sector increase by1 rupiahwill increase investment on agriculture sector by 0,191 rupiah, or when agriculture GRDP increased by 1% then will improve the investment on agriculture sector of 0,97%, or more easily can be defined that if the GRDP of agriculture sector increase, the investment of the agriculture sector will also be increase.]]>
