Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the causality of deficit budget with the current account deficit (twin deficits) in Indonesia and to detect the decision indicators of twin deficit as an early warning system model of twin deficits' occurrence. The research applied a quantitative approach with granger causative data to find the significant relationship of twin deficits in Indonesia. At the early stage, it analyzes the detection of twin deficits by using quantitative phenomenological approach in a form of mathematic formula calculation via non-parametric model with EWS signal extraction. It used 1 derivation standard (DS) and 24 months signal windows to extract signal. Signal extraction is applied to monitor the evolution of economic indicators which has a systematic tendency of twin deficits in Indonesia. Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and E. Views 7 are the software used within this research. The result of this research signified that there is a relationship between twin deficits in Indonesia with the budget deficit which is influencing the current account deficit. It strengthens the Twin Deficits Hypothesis (TDH) that explains the existence of budget deficit will affect the current account deficit by access of interest rate. Additionally, the result of a signal extraction calculation from the chosen indicator variable trend showed a positive signal of twin deficits. It is justified by the abnormal behavior of variables which states up to 50 percent probability. Those variables are export growth, import growth, terms of trade, inflation, growing industrial sector, real exchange rate, foreign reserve growth, and growth of world oil price.

Abstract

The village (desa) is the lowest level of government administration in Indonesia. In the pre-decentralization, although by law a village should held a regular election to select their leader, in practice the election is highly influenced and intervened by higher level of government. The new decentralization law has provided rural village governance with free election of village head and autonomy to design and decide budget and regulation without approval from the district government. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of corruption in village government of Indonesia in the more decentralized system of government introduced in 2001, focusing on the interrelationship between democracy and ethnic fractionalization at village level. Applying a Probit model to the IFLS (Indonesian Family Life Survey) data set on the perception of corruption incidence and the changes in governance at village government in 256 communities, this paper finds that an ethnic diversity at village level is positively associated with corruption if democracy is practiced before the decentralization, and, in contrast, is negatively associated with corruption if the democracy is newly adopted following the decentralization reform. These results are robust, with and without inclusion of budget autonomy, which found to have positive association with corruption.

Abstract

East Java has a big role in supplying agricultural product for nasional logistic. The problems are not completely resolved, regional development planning should integrate sectoral and spatial approach. The focus of study is to analyze the linkage of rice production to other sectors, in order to develop rice production. Research using the Input-Output models, Location Quotient to measure the degree of relative specialization of a region, and DEA to measure the performance of spatial efficiency. The result used IO table in 2010, contributors backward linkage of paddy sector are paddy sector itself, fertilizer and pesticide sector, also agriculture services and hunting, while the backward linkage contributors are paddy sector itself, rice sector, and food products and beverages. Spatially there are 28 areas that are able to serve the market of paddy products. If related to production efficiency, there are nine areas are included in the category of efficient production, with input in the form of land, and the number of farmers. Policy Implication related to the findings of input output approach, are the affordability of input proces, the streamlined of input distributing system, and the goes on education and information to the farmer about input usage. Whereas, related to the spatial aspect, in soft infrastructure as strengthening internal capacity of farmer and instructor. In the other hand, hard structure aspect especially restoration of irrigation, allocating best seed and fertilizer for farmer.

Abstract

East Java (JATIM), the second largest province in Indonesia in terms of population and GDP contribution had experienced 50 percent of export growth from 2007 to 2013. The changes were not only in value but in composition and destination, meaning that a change in the pattern of exports of JATIM and export performance was observed in the seven years of analysis. This study looks at those changes from the point of view of comparative advantage and export specialization. JATIM kept 55 percent of their competitive industries since 2007 as the backbone of their exports, losing the other 45 percent, while allowing the creation of new industries. The gains in new industries are higher than the losses indicating that relocation of resources and the change of focus is bringing benefits to the province. Dynamic changes had occurred among commodities –gains and losses in comparative advantage and export specialization-, some presumed to be driven by commodity prices while others are more related to global integration.

Abstract

Politics as an art of bargaining has gain prominent momentum following the victory of the president-elect Joko Widodo in Indonesia in 2014. This paper estimates the value of political parties under uncertainties over two possible coalitions: the Great Indonesia Coalition (Koalisi Indonesia Hebat, KIH) that supports Joko Widodo, and the Red & White Coalition (Koalisi Merah Putih, KMP) that supports Prabowo Subianto, the president candidate from the Gerindra Party. The estimation shows that the Golkar, the second largest earner of seats in the parliament, is more valuable for KMP, making them expensive to be maintained within this coalition. It suggests that the best choice for Golkar is to jump to KIH, unless the KMP provides substantial payoff to lure this party. Nonetheless, the pure strategy Nash equilibrium in a non-cooperative game of political bargaining shows that even though a party has small fair values, but it still has decisive impact in the bargaining table of a coalition.
