Impacts of Government and Household Expenditure on Human Development Index

Abstract

The objective of this reseach are to: (1) analyze the factors affecting human development index and household expenditures for health, education and others, (2) predict the impacts of government expenditure policy in the field of education, health, and infrastructure on human development index in Central Java. The model was built using econometric approach in the form of a system of simultaneous equations, including five blocks i.e. government's revenue, expenditures, input, output, and performance. The system of simultaneous equations consisted of 26 equations (19 structural equations and 7 identity equations). The estimation method used Two Stage Least Squares with SYSLIN procedure. Prediction simulation used the stepwise Autoregressive method. The model simulation used Newton's method and SIMNLIN procedure. The results of policy simulation concludes that the combination of the increase in government expenditure for education and infrastructure lead to better performance in increasing income per capita, disposable income and HDI compared to the combination of the policy of the increase in government expenditure for education and in both municipalities and district, but municipalities receive greatest impact compared to the district.

The Determinants of Inclusive Economic Growth in Yogyakarta

“…The coefficient value of per capita income of 1.68266 indicates that an increase of 1% of income per capita will reduce the poverty rate by 1.68266% with the assumption of ceteris paribus. This is in line with research conducted by Lisna et al (2013); Rindayati et al (2007); Sulistyowati et al (2017) where per capita income was negatively related to poverty. An increase in per capita income followed by an even distribution of income will reduce the number of poor people because the people with the lowest income level will also be raised along with an increase in per capita income.…”

Measurement of Sustainable Development With Electrification of Households in Indonesia

“…Increased government spending on electricity supply infrastructure impacts improving the human development index (Sulistyowati et al, 2017). The opposite relationship also shows the same, as conveyed by (Sarkodie and Adams, 2020), that the human This Journal is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License development index positively impacts electricity access.…”

The reduction of human development gap in origin and new regency in Eastern Indonesia

“…This, of course, also must be supported by institutional improvement (good governance). Sulistyowati et al (2017) said that picking up part of government and household computer schemes has an impact on the human development index. Increased employment opportunities, increased community capacity, and poverty alleviation are goals in human development.…”

“…Increased human development index shows the indication of increased prosperity. Increased human development index represents the increasing number of population who can access development in obtaining basic needs, including income, health, education and so on evenly (Arisman, 2018;Fretes, 2017;Grubaugh, 2015;Panjawa, Samudro, & Soesilo, 2018;Sulistyowati, Sinaga, & Novindra, 2017;Vikash, 2019;Yuliani & Saragih, 2014). Equity, especially the issue of inequality, is still one of the priorities in development.…”
