Impact of the Global Financial Crisis on Households in Kota Pekalongan

This study adds to the studies about the impact of the 2008 global financial crisis (gfc) on Indonesia's economy both at the macro- and microeconomic levels. kota (city of) pekalongan was chosen because of the facts that the city is a community-based monitoring system (cbms) area in Indonesia and that there is household-level data available in the city. the data analysis at the macroeconomic level was intended to find the occurrence of gfc and how it was transmitted to the city. qualitative data collection through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews enrich the macroeconomic analysis. by combining data from the 2009 cbms census and the gfc impact survey in five kelurahani, the study aims to identify which household group was the most affected. principal component analysis (pca) is used to predict which households belong to which quintile of household welfare in each kelurahan. the fall of prices of commodities, particularly cotton, and the depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah were the shocks of the gfc that significantly appeared at the macroeconomic level and were transmitted to the city's batik home industry, which later affected the households. there were also other local shocks that contributed to the gfc resulting in compound crises felt by the households. the affected households are those that had a household member that switched jobs, even to a worse one, and experienced an income decline during june 2008−june 2009. based on the household welfare quintile, the majority of the affected households come from the poorest household group (the first quintile). the poorest households, particularly the affected ones, reduced their food consumption, used the health insurance for the poor, and had children (10−18) who dropped out of school during the crises and started work. the provision of well-targeted social protection programs such as the health insurance for the poor and unconditional cash transfer 2009 (blt 2009) programs helped the poor to cope with the compound crises. in kota pekalongan, the poor households benefited from the programs when they lost their financial ability during the crises. in times of crisis, the government should also provide incentives for industries that are vulnerable to external shocks and that many households rely on as a source of income. in anticipation of future crises, a good database of targeted households and vulnerable industries will enable the government to create an effective early response system and take prompt action. other than the database provided by the central government, databases initiated by the local governments, such as the household data from the cbms project in kota pekalongan, can be of great benefit. keywords: cbms, global financial crisis, kota pekalongan, impac

Determining Comprehensive Criteria and Census Variables for the Protection of the Poor at the Local Level

The development of targeting methods for government social programs has to date experienced favorable progress. however, since the issuance of law no. 52/2009, there has been a shift from household-based targeting to family-based targeting. this paper offers an alternative method to determine a set of comprehensive criteria for family-based targeting. to establish the criteria, an analysis of locally-specific welfare indicators are undertaken. these indicators are used to determine levels of family welfare categories. the categories are set based on a number of variables which weigh the highest. these main variables may vary among regions. the levels of family welfare are determined through descriptive analysis and principal component analysis (pca). the levels defined are used for program recipient targeting based on the budget allocation for a region. the result of the analysis can be used for better targeting based on program clusters, such as education or health, in a given area. keywords: family, welfare, criteria, targeting, welfare level

THE MEDIATING ROLE OF DEBT AND DIVIDEND POLICY ON THE EFFECT PROFITABILITY TOWARD STOCK PRICE

This study aimed to obtain an empirical explanation of the role of debt policy and dividend policy as variables mediating the influence of profitability on stock prices. This study used six mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period of 2012–2016 as samples, hence there were 30 observational data. The sampling technique in this study was purposive sampling. This study found that profitability had a positive effect on stock prices, but the increasing profitability would not necessarily reduce the debt policy. The increasing profitability did not significantly increase the dividend policy, however, increasing dividend policy would increase the stock prices. The results also proved that debt and dividend policy did not mediate the influence of return on equity on the stock prices
