Abstract

Inequality, poverty, and unemployment in villages are still problems that have not been adequately resolved to date. Starting to allocate village funds in 2015 and Cash For Work (CFW) in 2018, it hopes this would accelerate these problems. This study uses a meta frontier analysis. This study found three factors that significantly affected inefficiency: the variable number of villages that had not budgeted for CFW ≥30%, the number of villages that had not reported CFW, and the CFW process status ≥ 30%. This study proposes three policy recommendations, including the 30 percent minimum working day (HOK) limit that is no longer a benchmark and gives villages the freedom to use the Village Fund using the self-management method. Second, the Government should synergize data on poverty reduction programs and unemployment between ministries or institutions. Third, the Village Government must prioritize the development of village potential while still empowering marginalized communities. Keywords: Efficiency, Cash Intensive WorkJEL: D72, H7

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between R&D and economic growth in 33 OECD countries. This research uses panel data method. The results showed that there are three independent variables that affect economic growth. Namely, gross domestic expenditure on R&D, government research, and internet access. However, gross domestic expenditure on R&D and government research has a negative impact on economic growth. With the t-statistics of -2.944775 and -0.203002, respectively. While the t-statistic for internet access variable is 2.460783. This shows that only the internet access variable has a positive effect on economic growth. Meanwhile, the variable access to computers from home does not affect economic growth, because the probability is 0.0674 or> 0.05. These findings do not support the general hypothesis that R&D expenditures will have a positive impact on economic growth. The research agenda must be clear, substantive and short-term and must be implemented as a consideration in making decisions. So that every investment in R&D spending provides benefits with the hope of creating new innovations, so that the Indonesian economy grows positively.
