Impact of Information and Communication Technology on Economic Growth in Western and Eastern Region of Indonesia: Statistic Indonesian, IPB Univeristy

Abstract

Tiga komponen utama dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi adalah akumulasi modal, pertumbuhan penduduk, dan kemajuan teknologi. Salah satu bentuk teknologi yang mengalami tingkat perkembangan pesat di tingkat global maupun nasional adalah teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK). TIK berperan penting dalam menunjang kegiatan para pelaku dalam meningkatkan output berupa barang dan jasa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak TIK terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di kawasan barat Indonesia (KBI) dan kawasan timur Indonesia (KTI) dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan model Generalized Method of Momment (GMM) selama periode 2016-2020. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel TIK untuk telepon kabel, telepon seluler, dan belanja TIK pemerintah berpengaruh signifikan dalam mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi di kawasan timur, sedangkan untuk kawasan barat variabel TIK tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Kawasan barat belum mampu memanfaatkan implementasi teknologi telepon seluler maupun belanja TIK secara maksimal dalam meningkatkan perekonomian. Untuk memperoleh manfaat TIK sebagai penggerak ekonomi di setiap daerah, diperlukan peran pengambil kebijakan dalam mendorong adopsi TIK di sektor produktif dan menyediakan akses serta infrastruktur teknologi yang dapat menjangkau seluruh wilayah dan seluruh lapisan masyarakat. The three main components of economic growth are capital accumulation, population growth, and technological progress. One form of technology that is experiencing rapid development at the global and national levels is information and communication technology (ICT). ICT plays an important role in supporting the activities of actors in increasing output in the form of goods and services. This research aims to analyze the impact of ICT on economic growth in the western region of Indonesia (KBI) and the eastern region of Indonesia (KTI) using descriptive analysis and the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) model during the 2016-2020 period. The research results show that the ICT variables for landline telephones, cellular telephones and government ICT spending have a significant effect in driving economic growth in the eastern region, while for the western region the ICT variables do not have a significant influence on economic growth. The western region has not been able to make maximum use of the implementation of cellular telephone technology or ICT spending in improving the economy. To obtain the benefits of ICT as an economic driver in each region, the role of policy makers is needed in encouraging ICT adoption in the productive sector and providing access and technological infrastructure that can reach all regions and all levels of society
