Abstract

Poverty is a condition associated with the inability to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, shelter, education, and health. Although Indonesia is currently experiencing a decline in poverty trend, data show that this extreme state of lack is consent in rural areas, such as Trenggalek Regency. Approximately 99.7% of this region is rural areas, with 10.98% poor populations. Therefore, this study aims to identify rural poverty's typology and distribution pattern in Trenggalek Regency using the spatial approach, which identifies the impact of distance and neighborhood of area towards villages’ poverty. The results showed a positive spatial autocorrelation of 0.29232, which indicates the spatial relationship between the poverty in every village in Trenggalek Regency is clustered and divided into four categories. Approximately 25, 28, 5, and 9 villages were in the high-high, low-low, low-high, and low-low categories. Every cluster has similar characteristics, thereby, the villages are influenced by each other. The results further showed that villages with high poverty rates have low accessibility to various facilities and infrastructure. An important factor that makes it possible for a rural area to escape poverty even though the surrounding is experiencing it at a higher rate is activating the micro, small and medium enterprises.JEL Classification: I32, R23, R51

Abstract

Indonesia has long struggled with a high rate of unemployment. Export, one of the aggregate demand’s components, typically affects the unemployment rate as argued by Keynes. Therefore, this study attempts to evaluate the asymmetric response of unemployment rate to export shock in Indonesia. Employing a Local Projection method, the analysis incorporates three important features: the asymmetric effects of export shock (positive or negative), business cycle (boom or slump), and educational attainment of workers (highly-educated or less-educated). Dataset consisted of province-level annual panel data of 18 provinces in Indonesia where the main ports for export activity are located, spanning from the years of 1990 to 2019. This study finds significant differences in the unemployment rate dynamics between less-educated and highly-educated workers. A positive export shock during the boom reduced the unemployment rate for less-educated workers, and the effect is more persistent. In contrast, highly-educated unemployment rate decreased when a positive export shock occurs during the slump period, and the effect was rather in the short run. These results suggest some policy implications such as strengthening the domestic market, relaxing export regulation on labor-intensive industries, and diversifying export products to enlarge job opportunities for highly-educated workers with varied qualifications.JEL Classification E24; I25; O24

Abstract

During the process of international economic integration, the labor issue plays a vital, urgent, and long-term role in the sustainable development of the economy. The impact of employment on a country's investment decisions is significant. The material underpinning of a nation's socio-economic growth is its transport infrastructure. The impact of infrastructure upgrades on employment in Vietnam's economic sectors is the focus of this article. Furthermore, the study investigates whether the Vietnamese government's annual investment in infrastructure development benefits employees as projected (using data from the Vietnam General Statistics Office (VNGSO) for 19 economic sectors from 2005 to 2019). The results of the System Generalized Method of Moments (System-GMM) show that improving the quality of transport infrastructure can significantly increase employment rates in different sectors. The data show that transport infrastructure plays a key role in ensuring smooth connectivity of the entire national, regional and local economies. It reduces transport costs and facilitates the mobility of workers.JEL Classification J8; L91; O18

Abstract

The West-East corridor is one of the main gateways to enter West Sumatra Province. The West-East corridor, which passes through 65 districts, has a variety of potentials and problems. This means, the growth rate of each district will be different. The growth rate and strength of the relationship among regions can be observed through the gravity model's spatial interactions. The gravity model can calculate the relative strength of the relationship between regions. To see the strength of the relationship among regions in the West-East corridor, strategic economic areas were taken into considerations based on their distance and several observational variables, which were the total population variable, infrastructure completeness, level of security, and investment value. Observation analysis units consisted of sixty-five sub-districts along the West-East corridor. Mass 1 (M1) was the central government, West Padang district, and mass 2 (M2) was the other 64 sub-districts. The analysis results show that the total population, infrastructure completeness, level of security, and investment value are not only influenced by their closeness to the government/city center. The infrastructure completeness factor can influence the total population in a region. Likewise, the investment value can be influenced by the infrastructure completeness and the level of security in a region.JEL Classification: O10; R12; R19

Abstract

The chrysanthemum commodity has shown a marked increase in the demand for decorations, ornaments and ceremonies service business in urban areas. This has raised attention to the feasibility and implications of sustainable production at the farm level. This study aims to measure the economic feasibility and sustainability of the chrysanthemum farm business. The study was carried out by surveying 24 chrysanthemum farmers in the village of Tutur, Tutur District, Pasuruan Regency. The analysis method used farming feasibility and multidimensional scaling (MDS) approach of Rapfish. The results of the study found the criteria for chrysanthemum cultivation of R/C ratio and ROI of 2.58 and 1.58, with profit equivalent to 126.66 million rupiahs per month per hectare. The study also found that the sustainability index in the dimensions of the social, economic, institutional, and environment was 62.74, 57.76, 57.48 and 51.66; all of which are categorized as fairly sustainable. In those dimensions, it was found that the most important attributes influencing sustainability were land conversion, farmers' network in chrysanthemum cultivation, access to business capital and changes in market trends. Further research suggests strengthening farmer group institutions, implementing innovation and developing sustainable tourism areas.JEL Classification  F18; Q13; Q18

Abstract

Bangelan is one of the villages which proclaim as a tourism village in Malang Regency. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted tourist visits, causing considerable losses to tourism economic activityr. This study aims to determine the structure of community adaptation in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is associated with social capital and collective actions to restore socioeconomic conditions. Assessment of social capital used three variables: trust, social norms, and social networks, each of which identifies its relationship with collective action. This study used descriptive analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and the data were obtained from the questionnaire. The study results explain that the norm variable in social capital wasthe most influential for the community to make decisions in taking collective action to restore the socioeconomic conditions. The norms were based on compliance with applicable norms and social sanctions against those who violate. Social norms affected almost every aspect of people's lives and became development pillars. The success of development efforts depended on conforming to or contradicting the development with pre-existing norms. In addition, the role of the community as hosts was the most important element in tourism development where they lived. Furthermore, norms could prevent outsiders from taking the opportunities that often dominate the development of local tourism destinations.JEL Classification  I32; R23; R51

Abstract

After recording remarkable growth and gaining more prominence within the domestic economy, Indonesian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are now being pushed by the government to go beyond the domestic market. Indonesian government has introduced global value chains (GVCs) to SMEs to boost their export in the last recent years. Apparel SMEs normally can join GVCs through backward or forward participation. But in this case, the GVCs’ impact on apparel SMEs export remains sluggish because they are highly concentrated in forward participation. This research, therefore, provides empirical cases on how Indonesian apparel SMEs can engage in backward participation to raise their competitiveness in global market using the evidence of apparel SMEs. Utilizing three dimensions of GVCs analysis: governance, upgrading, and local policy network, this research finds that SMEs can easily engage in backward participation to obtain foreign inputs by using the internet. Moreover, the decision to venture into GVCs and global market is heavily influenced by e-commerce. Findings of this research can provide guidance for Indonesian policymakers about the importance of GVCs on SMEs’ export performance, creating a better environment for manufacturing and cross-border e-commerce that can be exploited by SMEs as the largest economic driver.JEL Classification F59; F63; L67

Abstract

The debate on economic growth as a trigger or solution to environmental damage is the driving force behind this research. This study examines whether there is an advanced stage of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) that forms a curve resembling the letter N in Java province, Indonesia. This study used a panel data regression model with the main variableof CO2 emissions and GDP per capita. This research demonstrated that, in the short term, per capita income growth caused damage to the environment. However, this relationship was different in the long run and eventually formed an N-shaped curve. The existence of an N-shaped EKC was detected, but not significant.  The relationship between population growth rates, income inequality and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with CO2 emissions as well as EKC turning points were also investigated in this study. The study results included N-shaped EKC detected in Java with the first turning point of Rp 154,297,936 and the second turning point of Rp 1,136,629,791. Population growth rate was proven not to affect CO2 emissions, in contrast to income inequality and the SDGs agreement which affected emissions in Java. Raising public awareness, paying attention to energy use, initiating technological innovations, and enforcing pro-environment policies are recommended to be implemented in Java and across Indonesia.JEL Classification:  Q01; Q11; R11

Abstract

Court fees in Ethiopia are governed by the Court Fees Regulation Number 177/1945. Although many things have changed over the past 67 years, none of the consecutive governments attempted to revise the court fee system. The user charge on judicial litigation (court fees), is justified for the existence of negative externalities that each user (litigant) generates to society. This is generated by the existence of incomplete markets, where the private benefits of litigation differ from social benefits. The charge has to match both benefits (private and social) and reach a social optimal equilibrium. The argument is that when private litigation costs are less than the social costs, there will be an inefficiently high level of litigation.  Methodologically, a total of 44 legal professionals who have most frequent contact with the court and individuals undergoing trial were interviewed for operational purposes of the study... Key finding revealed that most respondents identified a problem with the existing court fee structure and payment system including controversies with respect to specified and unspecified claims. The new court fee will fill the gap that applied since 1945. So it should be amended in some respects according to the recommendations and steps which should be considered when passing an amended court fee regulation based on this proposal across the three level of federal courts.JEL Classification J33; K00; K41

Abstract

Awareness is a driving force for women to be involved in ecotourism management. With objective awareness, they will become tourism actors who can play an active and productive role in providing tourism services to visitors. This study aims to determine the rise of awareness in the development of ecotourism. Women's awareness in ecotourism management needs to be developed in order to ensure the existence of tourism to be more useful and they can participate actively in tourism management. This research used a qualitative approach. The subjects of this research were the manager coordinator, tourism manager, members of Dasawisma, and the local community in the Glugut Park Tourism, in Bantul, Indonesia. Their participation was decided by purposive sampling. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation. The data validity was done by triangulating the source and extended observation. The results show that increasing women's awareness can eventuate and be impactful toward their active participation in the tourism management. Therefore, for optimal result, women’s capacity improvement in regard to local-potential-based tourism development needs to be fully worked on so that they will get additional meaningful effects.JEL Classification:  I29; O10; Z32
