This study aims to examine the influence of cognitive and non-cognitive skills on labour market outcomes in Indonesia. The research employs the modified Mincerian model that considers the role of cognitive and personality traits of noncognitive capacities on earnings. This study relies on the data of the fifth wave Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) using sample of 8,810 individuals. The IFLS was conducted in Indonesia in 2014. The research data use cross section data covering 13 provinces in Indonesia. The results show that cognitive capacities measured by schooling and noncognitive aspects of personality traits determine the labour market outcomes. Attending higher degree of education explains higher performance of labour. In addition, extraversion personality is a strong predictor of workers' performance particularly for upper income groups. Furthermore, the contributions of marital status and personality traits are varied between male and female workers. Labour market and education policies should consider the development of both cognitive and non-cognitive skills to improve labour market outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of health infrastructure and public socio-economic status on life expectancy in Indonesia. Health infrastructure indicators are health personnel, health facilities, and health insurance. Meanwhile, socio-economics indicators are dependency ratio, income inequality, and poverty. The models are estimated using a panel data set for 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2010 to 2016. This research is using a fixed-effect panel data approach. Empirical results show that health personnel and health insurance have a positive relationship with life expectancy. Dependency ratios and poverty also show a negative relationship with life expectancy. On the other hand, the availability of health facilities and income inequality have a weak relationship with life expectancy. This empirical examination result will help Indonesian governments to improve several aspects in order to increase life expectancy in Indonesia. AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis peran infrastruktur kesehatan dan status sosial ekonomi masyarakat terhadap angka harapan hidup di Indonesia. Indikator infrastruktur kesehatan diantaranya tenaga kesehatan, fasilitas kesehatan, dan jaminan kesehatan. sedangkan indikator dari sosial ekonomi adalah beban ketergantungan, ketimpangan pendapatan, dan kemisinan. Model diesimasi menggunakan panel data dari 34 provinsi di Indonesia periode tahun 2010 hingga 2016. Pendekatan fixed effect digunakan untuk tujuan penelitian ini. Hasil empiris menunjukkan tenaga kesehatan dan jaminan kesehatan memiliki hubungan positif dan signifikan dengan angka harapan hidup. Beban ketergantungan dan kemiskinan juga memiliki hubungan negatif dan signifikan dengan angka harapan hidup. Pada sisi yang lain ketersediaan fasilitas kesehatan dan ketimpangan pendapatan memiliki hubungan yang lemah denganngka harapan hidup. Hasil empiris ini akan membantu pemerintah Indonsia untuk meningkatkan beberapa aspek dalam rangka untuk meningkatkan angka harapan hidup di Indonesia.Kata Kunci: pembangunan manusia, angka harapan hidup, infrastruktur kesehatan, sosial-ekonomi JEL Code: O15, O18 conclude that there is bi-directional causality between CO2 emissions and economic growth, between health expenditure and economic growth.Likelihood tests and Hausman tests are performed to determine the best approach Signifikan:between Common Effects, Fixed Effects, and Random Effects. The last step is the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) and the t-statistic test to determine the correlation value between variables in this study.

This study investigates the regional pattern of ecological capital in Indonesia through the principles of political economy. In this discourse, the gap between biocapacity and ecological footprint at the regional level (provinces) indicates the difficulties of environmental sustainability. Unevenness in ecological capital patterns occurs in Indonesian provinces as the gap between biocapacity and ecological footprint is heterogeneous. To demonstrate the causes of this unevenness, the regional pattern of ecological capital is scrutinized using the principle of hegemony, the principle of circular and cumulative causation (CCC) and principle of contradiction.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the relation between the cultural dimensions of Hofstede and corruption in developing countries. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a quantitative research approach with multiple regression analysis and quantile regression (QR) analysis. Findings The results showed that all cultural dimensions except power distance index (PDI) influence the level of corruption in developing countries. This study also found something interesting from the significance of the cultural dimensions of individualism and uncertainty avoidance (UAI) in the regression model. The community of developing countries tends to be collective which means that the level of corruption in the country is getting higher. The cultural dimension of UAI in developing countries is also interesting to study because of the positive relation with the Corruption Personal Index value which means it tends to be freer from corruption. Research limitations/implications This research is limited to the number of samples and the scope of the Hofstede’s cultural dimensions which are limited in developing countries. Practical implications The results of this research can add empirical evidence related to cultural variables and corruption, especially in developing countries. Social implications This research is expected to be a reference on cultural aspect and corruption in developing countries to be studied more deeply to investigate the causes of corruption in developing countries. Originality/value This is a preliminary study using cultural dimension and corruption in developing countries with quantile regression (QR) as an analysis tool and can add empirical evidence about the cultural dimensions and corruption.

Purpose -This paper aims to identify some key points about the practice of political dynasties and poverty in the era of regional autonomy through literature studies.Design/methodology/approach -This research uses literature study method and is organized into three parts. The first is to elaborate reflections on regional autonomy, political dynasty and substantive poverty. The second is to decipher the reality and the practice of political dynasty in the era of regional autonomy and poverty level. The third is to analyze the political dynasty and poverty in the era of regional autonomy. The last is the policy advices.Findings -The start of dynastic leadership began before the era of direct elections in 2005 and continued after the direct elections, so that the decentralization system provided space to build a political dynasty. Regional autonomy poses the risk of full control by local elites and the birth of local ruling elites, or it indicates the presence of local elite dominance both economically and politically in the region. The autonomy era had an impact on the decrease of poverty in the area of regeneration political dynasty. This is evidenced by the decrease in the percentage of poverty index from year to year, although not yet out of the category of poor areas (based on national index), or only 4 regions from 12 regions that belong to non-poor areas. Although the average dynasties count is able to reduce poverty each year, the income distribution in majority of the political dynasty regions is uneven.Originality/value -This research is a preliminary study on the political dynasty of regeneration type in Indonesia which is a hot issue in the era of regional autonomy as well as can add empirical evidence about the debate about political dynasty and poverty.

This study aims to analyze the geographical and infrastructure aspects of poverty in districts and cities in Riau Province, Indonesia. This study used statistical data from 2003, 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2014 correspondingly published by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Indonesia. There are 1,687 villages collected into cross-sections and time series or pooled data. This study proposed a geographical perspective to identify the poverty level. Based on the model specification tests through the three analyses with the pooled least square (PLS), the study found that the regression of the determinant coefficient (R2) is 0.0492, indicating that the geographical and infrastructure variables can explain 49.2 % of the output percentage variation in poverty levels. The telephone network is a factor that has a significant positive effect on the poverty variable. One variable used, the river as a transportation network, has a significant positive effect, which indicates that the usage of rivers for the purpose of transportation can increase the poverty level in the Riau province of Indonesia.
