The dynamics of central government funding to regions depend on local investments. In regional autonomy, local governments are encouraged to be more self-reliant from the central government. For regions with high natural resource yields, they will not encounter difficulties in meeting their fiscal needs. Community welfare can be realized through fulfilling basic needs, one of which is infrastructure development. High-quality infrastructure will be able to contribute to further progress in trade, thus enhancing production efficiency. The objective of this research is to analyze the extent of the influence of central government transfer funds, especially the Natural Resource Revenue Sharing Funds (DBH SDA), on local government investments in infrastructure across 508 districts/cities in Indonesia. The method used is dynamic panel regression using the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) Arellano-Bond approach. This study finds that the role of DBH SDA is still low in infrastructure spending. The role of the central government remains significant in determining infrastructure spending at the district/city level in Indonesia. This indicates that local governments rely more on other sectors in infrastructure investment. By enhancing the role of DBH SDA through technological advancements, it is hoped that the market value of natural resources can be higher through resource downstreaming. This strategy will have broader impacts, as labor needs can be absorbed not only in raw material production activities but also in the processing technology sector. Furthermore, the utilization of natural resources with modern technology can increase extraction efficiency, support sustainable development, and minimize environmental impacts.

“…A combination of information from industry shipments and MIOTs could provide empirically grounded end‐use shares for a wide range of materials, countries, and years. Their application to (economy‐wide) MFA databases that cover up to almost all global countries and a wide range of materials (Plank et al., 2022; UNEP, 2016), could quantify the material consumption in different end‐use products or sectors at novel material and country resolution. This more comprehensive and accurate tracing of stock‐building materials into end‐use could enhance our understanding of future recycling potentials (from stock accumulation), shed light into resource efficiency of different end‐uses (for instance, by including the end‐uses for which hardly any information for stock‐driven dMFA is available, such as civil engineering infrastructure or industrial machinery), and show the relevance of materials to human well‐being through connections of product use to services (Kalt et al., 2019; Pauliuk, Fishman, et al., 2020).…”

Modeling pathways toward sustainable production and consumption requires improved spatio‐temporal and material coverage of end‐use product stocks. Momentarily, studies on inflow‐driven, dynamic material flow analysis (dMFA) extrapolate scarce information on material end‐use shares (i.e., ratios that split economy‐wide material consumption to different end‐use products) for single countries and years across longer time periods and global regions. Therefore, in part 1 of this work, we reviewed five methods to derive material end‐use shares which use industry shipment data in physical units and monetary input–output tables (MIOTs). Herein, we comparatively apply these methods to the United States, drawing on detailed national data, as well as the multi‐regional input–output model EXIOBASE3. To better match MIOT and dMFA system definitions, we propose the end‐use transfer method, which re‐routes specific intermediate outputs to final demand in MIOTs. In closing, we conclude on 12 points for improved end‐use shares. We find mixed results regarding the fit between end‐use shares derived from industry shipments and MIOTs: for detailed national data, we find good fit for some materials (e.g., aluminum), while others deviate strongly (e.g., steel). In many cases, the temporal trend of MIOT‐derived end‐use shares roughly agrees with industry shipments. For EXIOBASE3, we find good fit for some countries and materials, but substantial mismatches for others. Despite mixed results, combining MIOT‐based end‐use shares with industry shipments and auxiliary country‐level data could enable improved temporal, geographical, and end‐use resolution. However, the scarcity, documentation, and quality of input data are key limitations for more accurate and detailed end‐use shares.
