Public Service Agency Policy and Effciency of Regional Airports in Indonesia

Rofii Rofii — 2025-12-03

The Public Service Agency policy began to be implemented in Indonesia across hospitals, educational institutions, and airports following the enactment of Law No. 17/2003 on State Finance and Law No. 1/2004 on State Treasury. However, research examining BLU policy within the airport sector remains limited, with existing studies predominantly focusing on hospitals and educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the implementation process of the Public Service Agency policy at ten regional airports in Indonesia over the period 2016–2024 by examining the policy formulation, its application in airport operations, and airport performance using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Tobit regression approaches. Based on the efficiency analysis using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach, the Public Service Agency policy tends to be implemented at regional airports that are already efficient, although there is a tendency for airport performance to decline after the policy’s is implemented. According to the results of the Tobit Regression analysis, variables that significantly influence the efficiency scores of airports include the distance of the airport from the city center and regional GDP per capita. These findings provide an evaluative tool for assessing the performance of regional airports in Indonesia in implementing the BLU policy

Human Resource Capacity Development Based on Financial Literacy in Realizing the SDGs: A Study of MSMEs in Central Maluku

Nurul Maghfirah — 2025-12-17

This study aims to examine the development of human resource capacity of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Central Maluku Regency through a financial literacy approach as a strategy to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method, with a stratified random sampling technique.This study maps the financial literacy status of MSMEs and analyzes its relationship to improving management capacity and business sustainability to support the achievement of the SDGs. The results show that low levels of financial literacy in human resources are a major obstacle to efficient business management and delay the achievement of national sustainable development goals. Therefore, strengthening human resource capacity based on financial literacy is essential as a strategic intervention that not only increases the competitiveness of MSMEs but also directly contributes to the achievement of SDGs indicators, particularly in the areas of financial inclusion, poverty reduction, and sustainable local economic growth

The Relationship Between Granger Causality Analysis and Indonesian Trade and Economic Growth.

Yuliansyah Yuliansyah — 2025-12-23

These findings confirm that the contribution of domestic assets to economic growth is relatively limited, which is in line with the literature that emphasizes the more dominant role of foreign direct investment, household consumption, and fiscal and monetary policies in influencing the Indonesian economy. Second, the causality test on foreign assets also shows similar results, namely that economic growth has not been proven to affect changes in foreign assets, and vice versa. Based on the findings of this study, the recommendation for the government is to implement economic development policies that are more focused on strengthening the domestic foundation, particularly by encouraging productive investment, increasing the competitiveness of the real sector, and strengthening household consumption, which has been proven to be more significant in driving economic growth

Food Self-Sufficiency and Economic Growth in Southern Sumatra: An Empirical Analysis Using the Difference-in-Differences Method

Muhammad Husaini — 2025-12-26

This study examines the impact of the Gerakan Sumsel Mandiri Pangan (GSMP) program on regional economic growth in Southern Sumatra using a Difference-in-Differences (DiD) approach. GSMP is a flagship provincial program aimed at strengthening household food self-sufficiency and reducing dependence on social assistance. The analysis compares economic growth trends between South Sumatra Province as the treatment group and Lampung Province as the control group over the period 2019–2024. The DiD results indicate that, following the implementation of GSMP, the average growth of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in the treatment province increased by approximately 0.024 percentage points relative to the control province. Further regression results show that food security, proxied by the Food Security Index, has a positive and statistically significant effect on GRDP, while population density exerts a negative influence. These findings imply that while GSMP contributes to improved food self-sufficiency and exhibits a positive association with economic growth, its aggregate impact on regional GRDP has not yet been sufficiently strong to generate statistically significant macroeconomic effects

Tourism Sector and Regional Original Income in North Lombok (2015-2024): An Econometric Projection Analysis

Dedi Suprapto — 2025-12-31

This study analyzes the impact of the tourism sector on Regional Original Revenue in North Lombok Regency and projects its growth trend until 2030. By using a quantitative descriptive approach, time series data from 2015 to 2024, analyzed with EViews 12. The results indicate that the number of tourist attractions, tourist arrivals, and tourism workforce have a positive and significant effect on Regional Original Revenue, while the number of restaurants and accommodation has a negative and significant effect. The estimated model demonstrates strong explanatory, with R² value 0.951039. Furthermore, the projection analysis shows a consistent upward trend, with Regional Original Revenue from tourism sector expected to reach Rp 465.44 billion by 2030. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening tourist attractions, increasing number of visitors, and enhancing the capacity of the tourism workforce in promoting sustainable economic growth. The study provides empirical evidence to support regional policymakers in optimizing tourism development strategies to enhance Regional Original Revenue and regional development planning.

Provincial Economic Convergence in Post-Decentralization Indonesia: A Panel Analysis from 2000 to 2022

Hanna Hilyati Aulia — 2025-12-31

This study examines the dynamics of economic convergence across Indonesian provinces during the period 2000–2022 by employing β-convergence, σ-convergence, and the Williamson Index. Provincial GDP per capita at constant 2010 prices is analyzed within a panel data framework. The results indicate significant β-convergence, implying that provinces with lower per capita income have grown faster than wealthier provinces. The σ-convergence analysis reveals a long-term decline in income dispersion across provinces, although temporary fluctuations occurred during the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Williamson Index also exhibits a downward trend, indicating a more equal distribution of income among provinces. These findings suggest that fiscal decentralization and infrastructure development have contributed to reducing regional inequality, although the convergence process has been relatively moderate
