“…This means that education is an important factor in increasing the output of a region (Banerjee et al, 2021;Hofmarcher, 2021). Meanwhile, the existence of an educated society can strengthen a country in improving workers' skills, which can then increase productivity (Gibson et al, 2023;Yerrabati, 2022). Human capital foundations such as economics, education and health can boost the economic productivity of each individual (Doré & Teixeira, 2023;Ogundari & Awokuse, 2018;Sultana et al, 2022;X.…”

Fiscal independence affects the revenue and expenditure patterns of a local government which in turn affects economic growth and can reduce poverty and unemployment. This study was conducted in 33 provinces in Indonesia using secondary data with a time span from 2013 to 2019. The model used is a dynamic simultaneous panel model with the SYS-GMM approach. Besides that, there is a need to develop fiscal independence index to obtain clearer conditions for fiscal independence. Revenue Sharing Fund variable that is not included in the calculation. Revenue Sharing Fund is a source of income that is already generated by a region. Readjustments are needed by including revenue sharing funds in the calculation. The newly developed fiscal independence index more clearly describes the condition. Riau, Lampung and South Sulawesi were included in the independence fiscal region category that was not previously. Fiscal independence has a significant effect and positive relationship with GRDP. Meanwhile, the reduced form results on poverty and unemployment show that GRDP has a significant negative effect on poverty and unemployment. Fiscally independent regions are better at reducing poverty and unemployment.

Direct effects of regional development interventions on targeted areas may be amplified by positive spillovers from elsewhere or offset by negative spillovers. Yet spillovers are often ignored in the applied literature, where impact analyses based on difference-in-differences typically treat spatial units as independent of their neighbours. We study spatial spillovers from a popular regional development intervention in China—converting counties to cities. China’s top-down approach lets only central government bestow city status on an area, with over ten percent of counties upgraded to cities in the last two decades. A growing literature estimates impacts of these conversions, with spatial units typically treated as independent of their neighbours. In contrast, our spatial econometric models use a 20-year panel for almost 2500 county-level units to allow indirect spillover effects on indicators of local economic activity. The positive direct effects on GDP and luminosity of a county being upgraded are amplified through positive indirect effects, especially in the eastern regions of China where economic activity and population are more densely concentrated. The models without spatial lags that ignore spillovers give estimated effects of converting counties to cities that are only two-fifths to two-thirds as large as the estimated effects coming from the spatial models.
