Growth and Convergence in Southeast Asia Sugarcane Industries

This paper analyses growth and convergence on sugarcane industry in southeast Asia countries. Important questions in this paper are whether the growth of sugar cane industry in Southeast Asia moves toward a convergence or divergence trend over time and to what extent the economic integration influences the development and policy of those countries. This paper is a cross-country study and employs GLS techniques. Some countries involved in the analysis are Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, The Philippines, and Vietnam. The finding suggests that based on ƒÒ convergence approach, both basic variable and equation with dummy indicate that these variables could explain the convergence and speed of convergence within the industry. Furthermore, The regression results also strengthen the finding of £m - convergence.Convergence, Growth, Sugarcane.

Growth in East Java : Convergence or Divergence ?

This study try to identify the â-convergence process among regions in East Java using cross-section data of 30 regions for period 1983-2001, taking into account the presence of spatial heterogeneity and spatial dependence. Detection of spatial regimes using G-I* statistics on regional per capita GDP values in 1983 found cluster of high income regions (group of “rich”) in central & eastern part of East Java, and cluster of low income regions (group of “poor”) in western part. The result of OLS & GLS regression on absolute convergence model does not found any convergence process in East Java regional income. The convergence process is only found in spatial cross regressive absolute â-convergence model estimated for spatial club A (group of “rich”), but there is no evident for the same convergence process is happening in spatial club B (group of “poor”). Using the spatial cross-regressive model for absolute â-convergence this study founds that the coefficient of spatial lag of initial income (ô) is positive and significant in every equations. This shows how the spatial dependence has a significant contribution in explaining regional income growth in East Java. The positive and significant sign of (ô), means that the growth of a region is affected by initial income of its neighbors. The region which surrounded by wealthy neighbors will grow faster than the region surrounded by poor neighbors. The effect of neighbor’s initial income level to the growth of a region can be a result of technological or pecuniary spillovers. This will be the situation when technology or cost of production in a region depends not just on factors within the region but also on the level of technology in the neighbors (technology is embodied in in factors of production). These effects can be consider as supply-side externalitiesâ-convergence, spatial heterogeneity, spatial dependence

CLUB CONVERGENCE & REGIONAL SPILLOVERS IN EAST JAVA

This study try to identify the â-convergence process among regions in East Java using panel data of 37 regencies & municipalities between 1983-2002, taking into account the presence of spatial heterogeneity and spillover effects. Detection of spatial regimes using G-I* statistics (Getis & Ord, 1995) on regional per capita GDP values in 1983 found cluster of high income regions (group of “rich”) in central & eastern part of East Java, and cluster of low income regions (group of “poor”) in western part. The result of OLS & GLS regression on absolute convergence model found the existence of â-divergence process of East Java in overall period (1983-2003), consistent with the ó convergence which showing upward trend (divergence). Meanwhile, the same divergence process is also found in absolute convergence equation estimated for each club, even though in slower rate than East Java divergence rate. Using the methodology proposed by Burn, Combes, & Renard (2002) this study founds the existence of negative spillover effects between regions in “rich” clubs and from “rich” clubs to the “poor” one, where the magnitude is greater in the latter case. The club of “poor” regions is diverging faster than the “rich”. This finding is robust in every convergence equation (with or without the spillover effects). The lack of diversity on East Java’s manufacturing industries (Santosa & Michael, 2005 and Landiyanto, 2005) seems contribute to its divergence process by engaging a competitive mode between regions.â-convergence, divergence, spatial regimes, spillover effects

Framework of Regional Development in Agenda 21: Sustainability and environmental vision

Selama ini, aktifitas pembangunan yang terfokus pada pertumbuhan mengakibatkan dampak negatif dan meyebabkan penurunan kondisi ekologi dan deplesi sumber daya alam. Oleh karena itu, pengelolaan sumber daya alam nasional dan lingkungan di masa mendatang harus didasarkan pada aspek penting pada produksi dan ruang aktifitas untuk konservasi dan kesehatan lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, analisis dalam makalah ini difokuskan dalam perumusan acuan serta penyusunan kerangka neraca sumber daya alam dan lingkungan (NSDAL) pada suatu wilayah. Selain itu, dalam makalah ini juga dianalisis tentang penyusunan kerangka penghitungan PDRB hijau di suatu wilayah.PDRB Hijau; NSDAL; Lingkungan

Digitalisasi Pelayanan Publik Melalui Program Kalimasada Di Kelurahan Keputih, Kota Surabaya

Adanya globalisasi membuat pelayanan publik diharapkan dapat berdampingan dengan perkembangan teknologi. Inovasi aplikasi Klampid New Generation (KNG) merupakan salah satu inovasi berupa aplikasi dari Dinas Kependudukan dan Pencatatan Sipil Kota Surabaya yang sudah membuat pelayanan publik lebih cepat, mudah, tepat, dan efisien. Penerapan aplikasi dalam pelayanan administrasi kependudukan diharapkan meningkatkan kesadaran penduduk terhadap administrasi kependudukan. Kelurahan Keputih menjadi salah satu kelurahan yang menggunakan aplikasi ini untuk melakukan pelayanan administrasi kependudukan. Selain itu adanya program KALIMASADA (Kawasan Lingkungan Masyarakat Sadar Administrasi Kependudukan) membuat masyarakat di wilayah Keputih mulai melengkapi dokumen kependudukan yang dimiliki. Tanpa adanya data kependudukan yang valid maka kebijakan-kebijakan dibuat oleh pemerintah juga akan kurang tepat sasaran. Oleh karena dari itu, penting sekali melakukan pelaporan peristiwa kependudukan sebagai upaya tertib dalam administrasi kependudukan

Pertumbuhan dan Konvergensi pada Industri Tebu di Asia Tenggara

This paper analysis growth and convergence on sugarcane industry in southeast Asia countries. Important questions in this paper are whether the growth of sugar cane in Southeast Asia a convergence or divergence over time and to what extent economic integration influences the development and policy of countries. To answer the question, in this paper done by GLS techniques analysis and used the distribution of the logarithmic sugar cane’s output data characteristics. Data in this paper published at the country level by FAOSTAT. Countries data which produce sugar cane in Southeast Asia are: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, The Philippines, and Vietnam. This countries are Cross section identifiers in panel data which time series data set in analysis is 1961-2000. In empirical result, B - convergence both basic variable and equation with dummy the regression equation indicate that these variables do have effects in addition to convergence and speed of convergence. The results also strengthen the hypothesis that when σ - convergence are accounted

Poverty Alleviation Of Farmers Through Institutional Role Of Farmers In Pamekasan Regency

The purpose of this study is to find out the factors that cause poverty in farmers, the programs and policies that farmers need most, as well as how the institutional role of farmers in poverty alleviation of farmers with the analysis method Ziel Orientierte Projekt Planung (ZOPP). The data used is sourced from secondary and primary data. the results in this study concluded that: 1) poverty in the farming community due to low income farmers as a result of government policy has not been fully propetani; 2) the main program priorities to achieve the welfare of the peasant community, namely: a) the program of market creation for farmers through the purchase of agricultural products by the government and the creation of improved skills to farmers in order to create high quality products; and b) mentoring programs for farmer groups through organizational management training and the ability to perform external functions (Networking); and 3) While the institutional role of farmers as a means to realize the expectations, desires, and fulfillment of the needs of farmers. Effective farmer institutions are expected to make a real contribution in improving independence and well-being in farmers' lives

PENGUJIAN MODEL ALTERNATIF PENAWARAN TENAGA KERJA STUDI KASUS PENGEMUDI TAKSI DI KOTA SURABAYA

This study aimed to test the hypothesis of labor supply response to changes in wages in Indonesia. The hypotheses tested are neoclassical hypothesis or reference dependent hypothesis from prospect theory. Neoclassical hypothesis indicated by positive labor supply elasticity, while the reference dependent hypothesis is indicated by negative labor supply elasticity. The data used is a panel data of 75 taxi drivers in Surabaya, with observation 5 working days for each driver. Estimation technique used was PLS, Fixed Effects and Instrumental variable.
