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

Evaluasi Dampak Platform E-PEKEN Dalam Meningkatkan Pendapatan Pelaku Usaha Mikro, Kecil, Dan Menengah Di Kota Surabaya

Potensi UMKM diakui oleh Pemerintah Kota Surabaya, sehingga perlu adanya fokus dalam mendukung usaha kecil dan menengah di Kota Surabaya untuk bertransisi ke platform digital. Aplikasi Pemberdayaan Ekonomi dan Ketahanan Ekonomi Nang Suroboyo yang dikembangkan oleh Dinas Koperasi dan Perdagangan Usaha Kecil dan Menengah Kota Surabaya bertujuan untuk memfasilitasi transisi tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan Metode Difference-in-Difference dalam analisis data, yaitu membandingkan kondisi sebelum dan sesudah implementasi platform E-Peken. Untuk menjamin akurasi juga diperlukan kelompok kontrol yang terdiri dari pedagang UMKM yang menggunakan platform E-Peken selama 1 tahun, dan karakteristik kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol harus serupa. Tabel hasil estimasi menunjukkan bahwa variabel DID mempunyai pengaruh positif. nilai koefisien sebesar 132876,9 berarti ditolaknya H0. Artinya E-Peken mempunyai pengaruh yang signifikan dan berpotensi meningkatkan pendapatan/penghasilan sebesar 132876,9 dibandingkan dengan mereka yang baru menjadi bagian E-Peken selama 1 tahun. &nbsp

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
