This research is proposed to measure financial inclusion index in 2 dimensions (2D-FII) in Indonesia Islamic banks. This research contributes on the measurement 2D-FII in regional level in Indonesia. The result shows that value of FII in Islamic banking in Indonesia is still low. Previous works show one of the determinant on increasing inequality in any country is a limited access to financial sector, especially for low income household (Akimov, Wijeweera, and Dollery 2006; Kenourgios and Samitas 2007; Levine 2003; D. Park and Shin 2015). In other words, low level of FII in Indonesia perhaps is caused by inequality of income. Therefore, this research recommends policymaker to have more concern on poverty alleviation program and open new Islamic banks branches in the regional level.
Purpose – This paper aims to analyze the effect of financial depth in Islamic banks on income inequality in 33 provinces in Indonesia. Methodology – We use data for the period 2010-2018 from 33 provinces in Indonesia which are estimated using panel data to develop spatial panel data model. The dependent variable is income inequality, while the variable independent are Islamic regional financial depth, economic growth, human capital, and government expenditure.Findings – This research finds that Islamic Regional Financial Depth (FDS) has a positive and statistically significant direct effect on income inequality represented by Gini index. It means that an increase in the FDS will also cause an increase in the level of Gini index. In addition, the indirect effect of FDS on income inequality is also positive and significant, indicating that the ratio of financing to GRDP has a spillover effect on connected regions. Implications – This research recommends policymaker to expand the business of Islamic banking by financing the small medium enterprises and concern on the promotion of Islamic banking in the regional level. Originality – This study is potentially to contribute and be the early work which employs spatial analysis in the area of Islamic economics and finance. In addition, this study examines the impact of financial depth in Islamic bank on income inequality which is rarely discussed. Hence, this study presents relatively new information for policy makers, practitioners and researchers.
The aim of this paper is to highlights the importance of humand development towards poverty alleviation with compares the different region status. This research uses econometric methodology with dummy variable regression analysis tools. The results showed that were no significant differences related to poverty conditions in origin and expansion. Overall, the conditions of poverty in origin and expansion in Eastern Indonesia are almost the same. Interesting findings in this study specifically indicate that an increase in the quality of human resources is able to reduce poverty in origin and expansion regions. It is expected, with regional autonomy through government expenses policies that are prioritized on improving the quality of human resources in various aspects able to overcome poverty in the origin and expansion regions.
This study aims to analyze the relationship between electricity consumption, oil prices and economic growth. The data used are from 1971 to 2014 using a case study of the country of Indonesia. This research model uses the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) regression. The results show that there is a long-term balance in electricity consumption, oil prices and economic growth. However, there is no short-term relationship on electricity consumption, oil prices and economic growth. Therefore, it is recommended that the government maximize the investment sector in industrialization so that the level of electricity consumption in terms of industry increases and can increase economic growth. In addition, this policy can create job opportunities so that residents can have greater job opportunities.
