“…In 1998, the inequality figure declined by 0.7%, which was not as large as the fall in the provincial population-weighted inequality figure (-1.4%), because the impacts of the 1997/1998 crisis differed by region and were much more severe in the relatively populous high-income Java-Bali region than in other regions (Akita and Alisjahbana 2002). 7 The inequality declined by 0.3% from 2007 to 2008, which was not as sharp a drop as in the 1997/1998 crisis, because Indonesia's performance during the 2007/2008 crisis was vastly better than during the 1997/1998 crisis and superior to that of most other countries in the East Asia region (Kuncoro et al 2009). …”

We use data envelopment analysis to measure the relative efficiency among Indonesia's provinces in using input to produce output over a 20-year period that includes the global economic crisis. We then employ the inequality decomposition technique of a Theil's second measure to explore the extent to which the efficiency factor contributes to interprovincial income inequality. Our efficiency analysis reveals that most Indonesian provinces improved their relative inefficiency considerably in both resource utilization and allocation. Moreover, the relative inefficiency became convergent across provinces for the period. However, several provinces with serious pure technical and scale inefficiencies still exist in 2010. The province of Yogyakarta critically underperformed in resource utilization, and Central Kalimantan and Papua operate at further suboptimum scales. The former needs to develop appropriate mechanisms to efficiently use its given resources, while the latter need to mitigate business-unfriendly regulations and deal with financial constraints. The inequality decomposition analysis shows that interprovincial convergence of inequality in overall technical inefficiency largely contributed to the reduction in income inequality. The convergence of inequality in resource utilization inefficiency had a greater impact on inequality convergence in overall technical inefficiency than in resource allocation inefficiency. In 2010, pure labor productivity became a substantial new factor in determining income inequality. Since this measure is affected by per capita physical and human capital and technology, the spatial allocation imbalance of these factors has become a new concern in Indonesia.

“…As was the case with his first term (Kuncoro, Widodo, and McLeod 2009), Yudhoyono cannot report that his targets have been fully achieved, but he can certainly point to considerable progress in important areas. Indonesia looks especially good in an international perspective: its economic growth over the last five years was the fourth highest in the G20, though it was helped more than most countries by China's demand for energy and mineral resources.…”

Informative and transparent financial information in the public sector is crucial for improving public sector management and eradicating corruption. Given this, Indonesia has reformed its public sector accounting, reporting and accountability systems by implementing a dual reporting system known as ‘cash towards accrual’, following similar reforms in developed countries. Drawing on the experience of five local governments (districts) in Indonesia, this study finds that the implementation of the dual reporting system has helped local governments to produce transparent and informative reports. However, the accrual‐based contents of the dual reports produced by the new reporting system are underused for decision making. In addition, there has been a significant increase in costs associated with the implementation of the new accounting regime in the jurisdictions studied. The study also finds that the ability of the users to use information generated by the new accounting system is more important than just a legal and mandatory requirement to use the new system.
