Poverty Measurement and Choice of Poverty Reduction Strategy: The Importance of Poverty Measurement in Determining the Right Strategy

This study aimed at testing the poverty measurement and the choice of poverty reduction strategy by using the data in four regencies and one municipal in Special Province of Yogyakarta (Indonesia). The study observed the number of poor people in those regions for eight-year periods (2001-2008) after the Law of Local Government Autonomy was in force in 2000. By using averagely 140 observations for each regency and municipal and employing ANOVA 2-Ways Analysis, the empirical results surprisingly revealed that only one regency and municipal produced nearly correct measurement on poverty. As to inter-temporal comparisons of the poverty number for each region, the statistical testing validated the inconsistency of poverty measure used. It gave evidence that the choice of poverty lines and poverty measures was a product of local government’s arbitrary decision, and of course, based on the finding; it called for robustness analysis of the poverty measurement used by the local government. To this respect, the choice of poverty reduction strategy should be seen as the free-vested interest decision in determining the poverty measurement. It needs a customization strategy based on the measure taken

Does partisanship really affect on FDI? An analysis of the Euro Area's FDI policies to Southeast Asian countries

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a key element of the global economy. FDI is an engine of employment, technological progress, productivity improvements, and ultimately economic growth. Because of these significant benefits, attracting FDI has become one of the integral parts of economic development strategies in many countries. There are two schools of thought that hypothesize the FDI determinants: economic factors and political factors. For the latter school of thought, the central questions are: Is there a noticeable difference among political parties in a country in their trade policy positions? Do left parties advocate different trade policies than right parties? In the advanced industrial countries where labour tends to be scarce, are left parties more protectionist than right ones, which represent capital owners? Prior evidence had demonstrated an association between partisanship and trade policies (FDI policies).This paper extends the cross-country and temporal variance in national regulation of FDI. The theory looks at government partisanship, which we define in terms of left parties or right parties. The paper tests two hypotheses that explore various aspects how the parties in Euro Area and Southeast Asian countries have competed over trade policy. This study uses 11 Euro Area countries and 5 Southeast Asian countries that actively do outward and inward FDI. The time frame of analysis is 2000-2006 period that is believed as a start of Economic Integration in the European Union, which is symbolized with the launching of European Single Currency at that time. Statistic methods used for testing the hypothesis are t-test and multivariate regression model. The empirical results provide support for an intuitively positive effect of globalization that makes left parties and right parties converge on its political economy and preference into open or free trade. After controlling for various factors, partisanship does not matter. In terms of position taking, both types of partisanship consistently take the free trade stances. In other words, it can be believed that Euro Area and Southeast Asian governments‘ preference on political economic and FDI are becoming more symmetric over time

THE EFFECT OF DISTRICT OWN-SOURCE REVENUE AND BALANCE FUNDS ON PUBLIC WELFARE BY CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH AS AN INTERVENING VARIABLE IN SPECIAL DISTRICT OF YOGYAKARTA

The transfer funds from the central government which is not followed by own source revenues, cau­ses the autonomous district too dependent on the central government funds. This study aims to de­ter­mine the effect of own-source revenue and balance funds on public welfare by capital expenditure and eco­nomic growth as an intervening variable in Special District of Yogyakarta. The source of data is se­con­dary data during 2006 to 2013 and using Partial Least Square to test hypotheses. The result showed that own-source revenue has not significant effect on capital expenditure but has significant effect on eco­no­­mic growth and public welfare; balance funds has significant effect on capital expenditure but has not sig­­nificant effect on economic growth and public welfare; capital expenditure has significant effect on eco­­­nomic growth but has not significant effect on public welfare; and economic growth has not signi­fi­cant effect on public welfare

The Evaluation of Fiscal Decentralization in Indonesia Based on the Degree of Regional Autonomy

The implementation of regional autonomy in Indonesia has lasted almost 18 years. However, the success of regional autonomy has not been optimal. Some researchers discovered the existence of limitation of Regional Government Budget. This study investigates the presence of the degree of regional autonomy and its impact on social welfare using data covering all districts in Indonesia from 2013 to 2016. To test hypotheses, we first group districts based on the degree of regional autonomy and than test the existence of the degree of regional autonmy and its impact on social welfare simultaneously on each of regional autonomy degree. Partial Least Square release 6 is used to test hypotheses. The results show that the fiscal decentralization has a significant effect on capital expenditure in districts' APBD in Indonesia but has no significant effect on economic growth and social welfare of districts in Indonesia; capital expenditure in districts' APBD in Indonesia has a significant effect on the economic growth and social welfare of the districts in Indonesia; and economic growth has no significant effect on the social welfare of the districts in Indonesia. The significance of the influence between variables depends on the degree of regional autonomy

Evaluation of Village Fund Allocation on Indonesia

This study focuses on evaluation on Village Fund Allocation through on examining the effect of the Village Fund Allocation on Capital Expenditure, Economic Growth, Poverty, and Social Welfare. Using secondary data and purposive sampling method, this study has 411 districts as the samples with criteria in 2015. This study used Partial Least Square (PLS) to predict relationships between variables. Before doing the analysis of PLS, Klassen typology analysis was conducted. In Klassen typology, the districts in Indonesia were grouped into 4 quadrants, namely quadrant I (developing area), quadrant II (prime area), quadrant III (potential area), and quadrant IV (backward area). PLS test results (using a sample of districts throughout Indonesia) indicate that all hypotheses are not supported. Whereas in the classification of Klassen typology (using samples in each quadrant) only in certain quadrants a hypothesis is supported. This shows that the Village Fund Allocation has not had a significant impact on the economy of the Indonesian people
