Abstract

Tourism is considered as big industry which growing up faster compare to other industry in this recent year. It is reported that Indonesia received approximately 11.5 million of international tourists in 2016. Because the tourism shows significant trend in Indonesia and getting strong position in the third rank as the foreign revenue for this country, the government willing to boost up the factors that might contribute more on attracting international tourist. This study tried to analyse the determinant factors of international tourist in Indonesia by using Random Effect Model. The variables are GDPs origin and destination country, exchange rate of origin country, free visa impact and length of distance in Indonesia during the period of 2006 to 2016. The study found that all variables are statistically significant. GDPs origin and destination country and country with visa-free entry have positive effect to the number of international tourist arrival while the rest which is exchange rate of origin country and length of distance have negative effect to the international tourists. Hence, the government needs to promote aggressively to the international tourist by conducting important events, increasing the number of countries that receive Indonesia free visa and maintain the GDP in both origin and destination country.

The analysis method used was Generalized Least Square (GLS) method and Fixed Effect Estimation model. The data used were the panel data of seven ASEAN countries. The result showed that Manufacturing Export, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Government Expenditure, and Population had a positive and significant effect on economic growth although the contribution of manufacturing export is just at a small magnitude.

Abstract

Nowadays, trade liberalization is considered as development strategy policy to increase economic growth and reduce poverty in many countries, particularly in developing countries. It is reported that Indonesia has been actively joining many trade agreements in order to ease the distribution of goods and services to other countries. Hence, this study analyses the impact of trade liberalization on poverty reduction by using an Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method from 1984 to 2017. The Trade Openness Ratio (TOR) is used as a dependent variable in order to measure trade liberalization. Other variables such as GDP, exchange rate and labor force are considered as control variables. The empirical result shows that TOR and labor force have a positive impact on poverty, whereas GDP and exchange rate have a negative impact. This finding is different with previous researches, particularly where trade liberalization has been negatively affecting poverty. Such a result is justifiable because Indonesian firms are not ready to compete with foreign firms where high competitiveness exist.

Abstract

Foreign tourism is indicated as one of the important instruments to encourage economic growth in several countries, including Indonesia. However, some studies only focus on the influence of tourist arrivals. Thus, the main objective of this study is to take a deeper look at the contribution of foreign tourism indicators to economic growth in Indonesia. Using panel data analysis from 33 countries between 2006 and 2016, this study applies three models: Pooled Least Square (PLS), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (FEM). Based on the fixed-effect model, this study reveals that foreign tourist arrivals have a significant and positive effect on economic growth. However, other tourism indicators such as length of stay and expenditure of foreign tourists appear to have no contribution to economic growth. From these findings, it can be implied that the Indonesian government should not only attract more tourists to come but also design strategies to encourage tourists to spend more money and stay longer. This study also finds that depreciation of Indonesian currency and visa-free policies have a significant contribution to higher economic growth.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on bilateral trade in service between Indonesia and its ASEAN trading partners. The sample is bilateral export in service between Indonesia and 9 ASEAN countries such as Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia. The total trade in service data is based on UN-Comtrade. It consists of service products that are coded in Standard International Trade Classification (SITC). This study uses the gravity model framework of data panel from 2005 to 2017 with random effect model is analyzed using Generalized Least Square. Based on the regression analysis, results show that sub-index of ICT Development Index (IDI) such as mobile-cellular telephone subscriptions per 100 inhabitants which represents technology development, has a positive and significant impact on Indonesia’s service export to ASEAN countries. Other variables such as GDP and distance also have significant effect on Indonesia’s export in service. GDP reporter, GDP partners and common language have positive and significant effect on Indonesia’s export in service. Furthermore, distance has a negative and significant effect on Indonesia’s export in service. These results are in line with Gravity model theory. In addition, these results are expected to be strong enough for the specifications of alternative models and estimation methods. Based on these results, some expected trade policy recommendation related to trade in service and telecommunication particularly trade between Indonesia and ASEAN countries can be formulated. For instance, to strengthen Indonesia’s networking and infrastructure of telecommunication in ASEAN countries. To build more Base Transceiver Station (BTS) located in trading partners in ASEAN. Telin Singapore established by Telkom Indonesia is officially established in 2007 and is the first Telkom footprint in international business. Since Singapore is Indonesia’s trading partner which has the highest of ICT Development Index among other ASEAN countries, the Indonesian government need to continue the implementation of Information and Communication Joint Committee Indonesia-Singapore.

Abstract

Remittances have been reported as a tool for fighting poverty in some selected countries, such as Indonesia. An increase of income through remittances tends to improve the economic status of the migrant’s household. Once they get a high salary, they will remit money (a remittance) to their household in Indonesia via formal institutions, such as banks.  The migrant’s household can fulfil their basic needs and can use the remittance for educational investment and productive activities. The education investment aims to educate the children or grandchildren of migrants, which will be beneficial for the future generations of the family, allowing them the chance of a more prosperous life. The poverty rate would be reduced gradually, and economic welfare can be achieved. The main objectives of this paper are first to estimate the effects of remittances on poverty in Indonesia from 1983 to 2015 and second, to propose several strategic policies related to remittances and poverty reduction. Other variables considered include inflation, exchange rates, income, income inequality and the labor force participation rate. An Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method was used to explore the econometric and estimated results. The study found that an increase in remittances led to a reduction in poverty by 2.56%. Inflation and the exchange rate have positive and negative effects on poverty, respectively. The small effect of remittances on poverty’s reduction could possibly be explained by the low educational background of the migrants, low wage jobs, expensive remittance costs, and migrants not knowing how to remit money through formal financial institutions. Hence, to reduce the poverty level, the government needs to first facilitate skills training for the workers so that they could get a better job and earn more, second, lower the transaction costs of remittances, and lastly, provide agents at Indonesian banks overseas to provide better facilities to Indonesian workers to remit money back to their home country.
