Indonesia's investment attractiveness is still weak compared to other ASEAN countries; one of the reasons is the low labor productivity. On this basis, this study aims to find out what factors are dominantly driving labor productivity in Indonesia statistically, as well as the right policy model to encourage labor productivity, bringing Indonesia a high-income country. The analytical method used in this study is panel data regression analysis, 2014 - 2018 period, covering 34 provinces in Indonesia. The study suggests that fiscal policy through general allocation fund (DAU) or transfers signifies increasing labor productivity, while special allocation fund (DAK) does not.
