Infrastructure Improvement and Its Impact on Indonesian Economic Performance

Indonesian government shows big commitment on the improvement of infrastructure which is reflected in some regulations and policies. It is supported by many empirical evidences that show the importance of infrastructure improvement on economic performance. In this paper, we develop a CGE model to analyze the impact of infrastructure on Indonesian economy by introducing several types of infrastructure and also discuss the impact of infrastructure on the poverty level. The results suggest that improvement on any types of infrastructure is expected will increase economic growth, raise government revenue, raise factor’s income and reduce the poverty level. Improvement on public work of agriculture, land transportation and telecommunication are still preferable option relative to others. Interestingly, even though public work of agriculture usually is located in rural areas, but the model suggest that public work of agriculture improvement will result higher impact on urban household relative to rural household.CGE

IS TERRITORIAL COMPETITION POLICY NECESSARY?: THE CASE OF EAST JAVA'S MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES

Under regional autonomy/decentralisation regime at city level that has been just implemented in Indonesia for about four years, city governments are likely tempted to pursue some sorts of territorial competition policy to affect firms' location decisions. By investigating the spatial pattern of manufacturing industries, there is evidence that the location decisions of industrial activities in East Java is subject to some sorts of agglomeration forces, most notably natural advantages and spillovers (due to both intra and inter-industry linkages). The finding suggests that such policy, especially the short-term, ad hoc, fiscal and financial-based, and politically driven one, that intends to intervene the observed spatial pattern may appear to be useless and/or costly Therefore, it implies that public resources might be better allocated onto measures that are deemed to have more strategic impact for sustainable local economic development (in the case of "eriphery" cities) or to deliver better public services for businesses (in the case of "core" cities)

Multilingual communities have language shift. This ‘shift’ can change the plurality of languages in those communities; it favors the more dominant language and pushes the minority to its death or loss (Holmes: 2001).
