REDUCTION OF ACEH'S INCOME INEQUALITY BY THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE FISHERIES, AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY SECTORS

The aimed of this study is to determine the dynamics of income inequality in Aceh and the role of the fisheries, agriculture and forestry sector (FAF) in reducing income inequality in Aceh. The method used to find income inequality using the Williamson index, while to find the role of the FAF sector in reducing income inequality is to compare the Williamson index by including the FAF sector and without including the FAF sector. The results of the analysis show that there has been a dynamic of regional income inequality in Aceh which is decreasing. After the analysis, it is seen that income inequality will increase if the GDP of the FAF sector is excluded from the count. These results are reinforced by the results of the analysis of a strong negative correlation between GRDP of the FAF sector and the Inequality Index, which means that an increase in the contribution of the FAF sector will reduce the income inequality that occurs. The two-mean paired test also strengthens the evidence that the Inequality Index by including the FAF sector GRDP in the calculation is smaller than the Inequality Index without including the FAF sector GRDP

Analysis of Creative Industries Development in Indonesia

This study aims to identify the relative strengths of the creative industry subsector in Indonesia and analyze the determinants that affect the GDP of the creative industry sector in Indonesia. The analysis period from 2010 to 2016 used Klassen's typological analysis and panel data regression. The data used in this study from 2010 to 2016 (time series) and 16 sub-sectors of the creative industry sector. Based on typology Klassen creative industry sub-sector craft, fashion and culinary is a sub-sector that has a relative advantage over other subsectors, thus contributing more to the GDP of the creative industry. The panel data regression results show that the variable of the creative industry workforce, creative industry employee wages, and patents were able to increase the GDP of the creative industry. The vocational creative industry sector which is a proxy for education and creative industry sector policies can make the GDP value of Indonesia's creative industries in the future be higher. Some industrial sub-sectors such as photography, publishing, architecture, advertising, interior design, and fine arts need government support to catch up with other subsectors to make a better contribution to the GDP of creative industries. the promotion of patents and policies for small businesses must be improved, especially administrative and technical requirements to make it easier

Impact Analysis of Non-Tariff Measures (NTM) on Indonesian Tuna Exports to Major Destination Countries

Currently, International trade is hampered in both tariff and non-tariff measures. Non-Tariff Measures (NTMs) are likely applied by some major trading countries. The NTM policy mostly applies Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) and Technical Barrier to Trade (TBT). Tuna commodity is one of Indonesian potential exports facing NTM barriers. Indonesia has exported its tuna to a number of major destinations including China, Japan, Thailand, United States, South Korea, Singapore, and Vietnam. This study aims to analyze the export performance and NTMs impact on the Indonesian tuna export commodity. The methods used included descriptive analysis through inventory approach (coverage ratio and frequency index) and regression analysis of gravity model panel data from the period of 2009 – 2013 with the cross sectional data of the six major destination countries. The results show that United States as a country imposing the highest NTMs and frozen tuna is the most affected commodity group by NTM effects. The gravity model estimation results show that SPS and TBT affect tuna fish exports with positive coefficients of 0.011 and 0.015 respectively
