Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess nutrients elasticities of calories, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System is used on Indonesian socioeconomic household survey data. Findings Expenditure elasticities of nutrients in overall model range from 0.707 (for carbohydrates) to 1.085 (for fats), but expenditure elasticities in rural areas are higher than those in urban area. Most of price elasticities of nutrients have very small absolute value (not elastic) and all values are lower than the expenditure elasticities. However, the price of five groups of food commodities, namely, rice, oil and grease, fishes, meat, and other foods give significant influence on nutrients consumption. Research limitations/implications This research only includes four micronutrients, namely, calorie, protein, fat, and carbohydrate. Originality/value This research is one of very limited literatures about nutrient elasticity of food consumption in Indonesia.
This study analyzes the consumption patterns of agricultural households in Indonesia using the 2013 first quarter data of the Indonesian National Socioeconomic Survey (Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional [Susenas]) and the quadratic almost ideal demand system (QUAIDS) approach. Indonesian households' food expenditure is mostly on rice, vegetables, and fish. Rice expenditure is a top priority particularly in agricultural household spending in Indonesia. Agricultural households consume more calories and carbohydrates, but less protein and fat, than nonagricultural households do. The expenditure elasticities of agricultural and nonagricultural households are significantly different only in the following commodities: milk, other foods, meat, fruits, and rice. The differences in the price elasticities of the two household groups are found in non-rice staple, other foods, rice, and milk. The expenditure elasticity of nutrients of agricultural households tend to be higher.
PurposeUsing cross-sectional household survey data, this paper aims to determine the impact of food price increases on poverty in Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses the quadratic almost ideal demand system applied to the 2013 Indonesian household survey data. The impact of food price increase on household welfare is calculated using a welfare measure, compensating variation.FindingsThree food groups with the most outstanding price impact on poverty are rice, vegetables and fish were studied. The 20% increase in the price of each food group causes an increase in the headcount ratio by 1.360 points (rice), 0.737 points (vegetables) and 0.636 points (fish). Maintaining food price stability for these food groups is very important because the more price increases, the more impact on poverty. Food price policies in rural areas are also more critical than in urban areas because the impact of food price increases in rural areas is higher.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper does not consider the positive impact of rising food prices on food-producing households.Practical implicationsImplementing appropriate poverty alleviation policies through food policies for main food groups and social protection.Social implicationsPromoting rural development policies and agricultural growth.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical results regarding the impact of domestic food prices increase on poverty in Indonesia.
PurposeThe study’s first aim is to estimate the scale of working poverty using a nationwide household survey. The second aim is to answer the following research questions: is working enough to escape poverty, and what are the determinants of working poverty?Design/methodology/approachThe focus is on working people in Indonesia who have per capita household expenditure below the provincial poverty line. The determinant analysis used logistic regression on the first quarter of 2013 Susenas microdata.FindingsThe study found that the scale of the working poverty problem is equivalent to the scale of the poverty, although the in-work poverty rate is lower than the poverty rate in all provinces. The logistic regression results conclude that the three factors, namely individual-level, employment-related and household-level variables, have significant contributions to the incidence of the working poor in Indonesia.Practical implicationsSome practical implications for reducing the incidence of working poverty are increasing labor earnings through productivity growth and improving workers' skills, encouraging the labor participation of the poor and reducing precarious work. This study also suggests the need to continue assisting the working poor, particularly by increasing access to financial credit.Originality/valueResearch aimed at studying working poverty in Indonesia in the peer-reviewed literature is rare until now based on the authors' search. This study will fill the gap and provoke further research on working poverty in Indonesia.
Study on the household food consumption pattern, especially at provincial level, is very interesting in order to offer accurate information regarding the household response to changes in food prices. This study aims to analyze food consumption pattern in South Sumatra using Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) based on Susenas household survey data in 2013. All food groups have positive income elasticity and negative price elasticity consistent with the theory of demand, but expenditure elasticities are higher than price elasticities. As a staple food, rice has relatively low expenditure and price elasticities in which rising household income and rising rice price do not affect much rice consumption. Most food commodity groups have uncompensated price elasticity close to 1, namely 0.9 to 1.1. The high price elasticities are found on fruit commodity group mainly affected by seasonal factors. The policy aimed to increase household income is more important than that to maintain price stability for adjusting consumption pattern. The government has challenging responsibility due to slow food diversification. Keywords: food consumption pattern, QUAIDS, South Sumatra ABSTRAKPola konsumsi pangan rumah tangga apalagi sampai level provinsi sangat menarik dikaji untuk memberikan informasi yang tepat mengenai respon rumah tangga terhadap perubahan harga pangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pola konsumsi pangan di Sumatera Selatan menggunakan quadratic almost ideal demand system (QUAIDS) dengan data hasil survei rumah tangga Susenas tahun 2013. Semua kelompok pangan memiliki elastisitas pendapatan yang positif dan elastistas harga yang negatif, konsisten dengan teori permintaan, namun elastisitas pengeluaran lebih tinggi dibandingkan elastisitas harga. Sebagai komoditas pangan utama, beras memiliki elastisitas pengeluaran dan elastisitas harga yang rendah di mana kenaikan pendapatan dan kenaikan harga tidak banyak memengaruhi konsumsi beras. Sebagian besar kelompok komoditas pangan memiliki elastisitas harga tidak terkompensasi yang mendekati 1, yaitu antara 0,9 dan 1,1. Elastisitas harga yang tinggi terdapat pada kelompok komoditas buah-buahan terutama karena dipengaruhi oleh faktor musiman. Dengan demikian, kebijakan meningkatkan pendapatan rumah tangga lebih penting dibandingkan kebijakan menjaga stabilitas harga untuk mengarahkan pola konsumsi masyarakat. Pemerintah memiliki tugas yang berat karena proses diversifikasi konsumsi pangan berjalan sangat lambat. Kata kunci: pola konsumsi pangan, QUAIDS, Sumatera Selatan PENDAHULUANKetersediaan pangan masih merupakan permasalahan penting yang dihadapi oleh pemerintah dalam upayanya meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Jumlah penduduk yang cukup besar dan cenderung meningkat dari tahun ke tahun menyebabkan kebutuhan pangan terus meningkat. Selain itu, pangsa konsumsi pangan cukup tinggi sehingga pangan masih mendominasi alokasi anggaran belanja rumah tangga. Harga pangan yang berfluktuasi dan cenderung meningkat dari waktu ke waktu juga mengur...
