Pertumbuhan Ekonomi, Ketimpangan Pedapatan dan Desentralisasi di Indonesia

This research aims to analyze the effect of decentralization on national income distribution and the reduce of income Inequality in Indonesia. This research used secondary data with gross domestic product (GDP) representing national income and gini index data representing income inequality from 1978 to 2015. An OLS Linear Regression approach was employed where the gini index was the dependent variable, and the independent variables were GDP and the Dummy for decentralization implementation. The result revealed that decentralization had not been able to distribute economic growth to minimize income Inequality

Indonesia Agroindustry Growth Acceleration Through Export Tax Policy: CGE Comparative Static Model

The purpose of this research is to analyze wether export tax policy on primary agriculture commodity can stimulate the growth of agroindustry. The model used in this research is a comparative static CGE model. The data used is the Input-Output Table in 2008, the System Accounting Matrix (SAM) Table in 2008, and other relevant supporting sources. Simulations carried out by applying export taxes on primary agricultural commodities, adjusted by government policy to accelerate the growth of agroindustry. The simulation indicates that it can inhibit the export growth on taxed commodities so that accelerate the long term agroindustrial output growth. Although it has negative effect on the short term. On the other hand, the policy doesn't pro the economic growth and aggravate the export competitiveness

REKONSTRUKSI EKONOMI PANCASILA SEBAGAI PERWUJUDAN KEBERLANJUTAN PEMBANGUNAN NASIONAL

Salah satu solusi untuk menghadapi berbagai permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh bangsa Indonesia saat ini adalah dengan menghidupkan kembali semangat Pancasila. Pancasila adalah intisari dari keberadaan Indonesia sebagai suatu negara. Pancasila berfungsi sebagai dasar negara, ideologi, filsafat, dan juga sebagai perwujudan dari prinsip dasar untuk Indonesia yang mandiri. Oleh karena itu, revitalisasi/kebangkitan kembali Pancasila seharusnya menjadi fokus utama dari program pemerintah, agar nilai Pancasila dapat dijiwai oleh setiap bangsa Indonesia. Para pendiri Indonesia berkeyakinan bahwa Pancasila dapat membebaskan rakyat dari kemiskinan, kelaparan, kesenjangan sosial dan korupsi, selain itu juga dapat menjadi landasan agar mampu menjalin kerjasama dengan negara lain secara menyeluruh. Hal tersebut dapat terwujud dengan menyatukan tekad, tindakan, dan integrasi/penggabungan dari berbagai bidang serta keterampilan untuk mencapai cita-cita kesejahteraan bagi seluruh bangsa Indonesia

COVID-19, UPAH, DAN PENGANGGURAN: STUDI EMPIRIS DI INDONESIA

Unemployment is one of the problems faced by every country, and Indonesia is no exception. The opened unemployment rate during the Covid-19 pandemic increased dramatically compared to the previous year. Many factors affect the increase in the unemployment rate, one of which is wage policy. This study aims to analyze labor conditions in Indonesia before and during Covid-19 and analyze the effect of wages on unemployment before and during the pandemic in Indonesia. The analytical method used, namely the fixed effect model, with panel data for 12 years (2010-2021) in 33 provinces in Indonesia. The results obtained in general are that an increase in wages reduces unemployment, but if wages are increased during the Covid-19 pandemic, it will increase unemployment in Indonesia

Trade Openness Effect on Income Inequality: Empirical Evidence from Indonesia

This research analyzed the effect of international trade openness to income inequality in Indonesia using Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The data used is the secondary data, which are the export-import value, gross domestic product (GDP), GDP per capita, open unemployment rate, and Gini index. The results of this study indicate that in the short term the trade openness has negative impact significantly on the income inequality. However, in the long-run, it does not show any significant effect in decreasing the income inequality rate. The impulse response function (IRF) concluded that income inequality gives a positive response, except on the third year. Based on the forecast error variance decomposition (FEDV), the trade openness does not provide any significant contribution in effecting the income inequality in Indonesia, but economic growth does. Nevertheless, in long-term, the economic growth makes the income inequality getting worse than in the short-term.DOI: 10.15408/sjie.v7i1.552

POTENSI DAN PROYEKSI EKONOMI MAKRO KOTA TANGERANG

This study aims to analyse the potency and make a projection of the economy of Tangerang Municipality from 2014 to 2018. By doing so, the local government of Tangerang can use such information to formulate the appropriate policies to foster inclusive economic growth. This study is essential as Tangerang Municipality experienced a slow down in economic growth in 2014 compared to the previous year. This study uses quantitative methods namely Location Quotient (LQ) analysis, to identify leading sectors of the economy, and Least Squares Method, to make a projection of the economy. In addition, descriptive analysis is also used to briefly interpret the quantitative data and formulate policy recommendations. The results show that: (1) the leading sectors of Tangerang Municipality are manufacturing industry sector, transportation and warehousing sector, information and communication sector, and business services sector; (2) the projection analysis showed that in 2018, based on constant price and current price RGDP, Tangerang Municipality will experience positive economic growth.

PAJAK EKSPOR, PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI, DAN PENDAPATAN: KASUS AGROINDUSTRI DI INDONESIA

This research aims to analyze whether export tax policy and the policy of productivity increment of agro industry based upstream and downstream sectors can increase real GDP growth, agro industry output, andhousehold income. The model used in this research is a comparative static Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. The data used are from the 2008 Input-Output Table, the 2008 System Accounting Matrix (SAM)Table, and other relevant suporting sources. The three simulations conducted in this research are: (1) export tax policy on agro industry’s upstream sector (SIM1), (2) export tax and productivity increment policies on agro industry’s upstream sector (SIM2), and (3) export tax and productivity increment policies on agro industry’s upstream and downstream sectors (SIM3). The three simulations will be adjusted to the government’s policies to suport agro industries’ downstream. SIM1 has negative effect on real GDP and only increases agro industry output in certain sectors only. SIM2 and SIM3 have positive effect on real GDP and increases agro industryoutput. All simulations increase non-agricultural household incomes, and decrease agricultural household incomes.Keywords: agroindustry, export tax, real GDP, household incom

How Religiosity Affect Climate Change? A Cross-Country Analysis

Climate change demands a collective response, including from religious perspectives, but it presents a dualistic challenge. On one hand, some believers see it as a divine, immutable law (theocentric), urging humans not to defy it. Conversely, others attribute climate change to human actions that exploit nature (anthropocentric). This study scrutinizes the relationship between religiosity and climate change, using per capita CO2 emissions as a proxy. It employs cross-country regression analysis, along with robustness and sensitivity tests. The findings highlight religiosity's substantial role in curbing per capita CO2 emissions growth. This underscores religion's potential as a societal force in overcoming environmental problems, global climate issues, safeguarding natural resources and ecosystems, and ensuring a comfortable, secure existence on Earth
