The Spatial Dimension of Human Development Index in Indonesia

As the new paradigm of economic development pioneered by UNDP and Mahbub Ul-Haq undertaken, development processes no longer viewed as monodimensional process of economic growth indicated by GDP growth solely. Human Development Index on the other side offer an indicator that takes into account other aspecta as proxies of life quality such as life expectancy and literacy rate wrapped as a composite index. Several previous researches has try to explain the determinant of HDI, but as HDI was start to calculated at sub national level, the complexity of the task to explain the determinants was escalating due the fact that sub national data has geographical information attached in it. This paper tries to explain the spatial pattern on HDI achievement at sub national level in Indonesia, and estimate the determinants of HDI using spatial econometrics method. The use of the tools based on the necessity to put into account spatial dependence as special form of cross-sectional serial correlation, which is a common situation in observations that has geographical information.Human Development Index, Spatial Econometrics, Sub National Data

Rise And Fall Of Cities, Measuring Spatial Clustering And Economies Of Urban Agglomeration In West Java

With others neighboring Provinces in the western part of Java, the West Java Province shares the southeast Asian most densely urban area (Bodebek as part of Jabodetabek and Greater Bandung). This research tries to identify the spatial clustering of urban economies activities using employment data from Economic Census of 2006 as proxy for urban agglomeration. Using the identification result, we then estimate aggregate production function of the urban agglomeration area to calculate it’s economies of agglomeration. From the result we found that both Bodebek and Greater Bandung metropolitan area are both have been reach the stage of saturation in their economic activity. Meanwhile, the alternative definition of Bodebek shows the stage of slight increasing return to scale, indicate the economies are trying to expand to regain the economies of scale that has been saturated in origin area.Sub National Data, Indonesia

Layout level design for testability strategy applied to a CMOS cell library

The layout level design for testability (LLDFT) rules used here allow to avoid some hard to detect faults or even undetectable faults on a cell library by modifying the cell layout without changing their behavior and achieving a good level of reliability. These rules avoid some open faults or reduce their appearance probability. The main purpose has been to apply that set of LLDFT rules on the cells of the library designed at the Centre Nacional de Microelectronica (CNM) in order to obtain a highly testable cell library. The authors summarize the main results (area overhead and performance degradation) of the application of the LLDFT rules on the cell

The Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Habsburg-Lorraine (1847-1915), geographer

Se analiza el contexto y la obra geográfica del archiduque Luis Salvador Habsburgo-Lorena reivindicando la mayoría de sus trabajos, y en especial los más emblemáticos, como geográficos. Luis Salvador fue un geógrafo a caballo entre el observador romántico del paisaje y el analista positivista de los territorios, perteneció a multitud de organizaciones geográficas y fue premiado en varias ocasiones con motivos de congresos y reuniones geográficas internacionales. Su obra más conocida y premiada, el Die Balearen, constituye la primera geografía moderna de las Islas Baleares. Viajero y descriptor del Mediterráneo, en especial de sus islas, Luis Salvador ha sido mucho más conocido y leído desde fuera de la geografía que desde dentro. El presente trabajo aspira a situar el autor en la literatura geográfica española de la que tradicionalmente ha estado ausente.This paper analyses the context and the geographical production of the Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria claiming the majority of its opus, and in particular the most emblematic, as a true geographical work. Ludwig Salvator was a nineteenth century geographer between the romantic observer of the landscape and the positivist analyst of the territories; he also belonged to a multitude of geographic organizations and several times was awarded at different geographical congresses and international meetings. His most famous and awarded book, Die Balearen In Wort und Bild geschildert (The Balearic Islands, portrayed in words and images) constitutes the first modern geography of the Balearic Islands. Traveller and descriptor of the Mediterranean, in particular of its islands, Ludwig Salvator has been much more known and read from outside the geography that from within. With this paper it is claimed the right place of Ludwig Salvator amidst the Spanish geographical literature despite he has been traditionally absent in it

Spatial Contagion of Global Financial Crisis

The global financial crisis triggered by the credit crisis in the USA as its epicenter, quickly spread across the globe. The crisis starts spreading around the world in the middle of 2007 and along the 2008, where stock markets in major economies fell, followed by collapses of large companies and leading financial institutions. In a world where economies are integrated, the spread of such crisis is unavoidable. In this paper, we try to estimate the spill over effect of the global financial crises across borders and regions. Using spatial econometrics method we employ distance based weight matrix to estimate the spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity of the crises. On the sensitivity analysis, we also employ weights matrix that is corrected by the governance and the economic freedom index to shows how the virtual space of governance, economic institution and regimes affect the spread of the crises.Global Financial Crises, Spillover Effect, Institutions, Globalization, Spatial Econometrics

POVERTY AS CHILD LABOR INTERNAL MIGRATION’S DETERMINANT

Migration is an unavoidable problem for economic development in third world countries. Indonesia is an archipelagic country with high viscosity population internalmigration. Over flooding wave of internal migration from periphery region to the core of growth poles increases the spatial disparities between regions. Not only for the labor force at their productive age, empirical evidences revealed the fact that the wave also involved children to work as child labor. This research tries to estimate how poverty in periphery determines the wave of migration toward urban agglomeration region at their core. Using data from the Indonesian Census 2000 for Java Island, global spatial effect and local statistics was estimated by spatial econometrics method.Keywords: Child Labor, Internal Migration, Spatial Econometrics, urban agglomeratio
