Abstract This paper studies the evolution of regional disparities in labor productivity, capital accumulation, and efficiency across Indonesian provinces over 1990–2010 period. Through lens a nonlinear dynamic factor model, we first test hypothesis that all would eventually converge to common steady‐state path. We reject this find provincial dynamics productivity are characterized by two convergence clubs. next evaluate proximate sources some mixed results. On one hand, physical human...

Based on the 2008–2010 S usenas panel data, this study examines expenditure inequality from spatial perspectives in I ndonesia, using three decomposition methods: (i) a conventional Theil index decomposition; (ii) an alternative T heil proposed by E lbers et al . (2008); and (iii) B linder− O axaca decomposition. Our results show that overall per capita increases between 2008 2010, which coincides with rising trend official G ini coefficient. The contribution of within urban rural areas to...

Introducing an employment variable with five levels of educational attainment per capita and employing inequality decomposition, this study addresses three questions. How does labour force vary by education provinces? utilization What are the potential causes differences? We find that no-primary-education group is more endowed in less-developed provinces allocated most unequally among groups across provinces, despite past universal primary policies. The senior-secondary-education largest...

This paper examines the effect of public investment on regional economies postwar Japan. It evaluates effects efficiency‐verses‐equity‐oriented allocation policies by estimating aggregate production function and calculating marginal productivity capital for each region, using panel data covering 47 prefectures over period from 1955 to 2000. The empirical results show that has alternated between an policy based efficiency one is equity, and, in fact, such was used as a tool adjusting income...

The main objective of this paper is to examine the effects changes in economic conditions and government policies on output growth Kyushu region between 1965 1990. This study uses extended growth‐factor decomposition method based a three‐region Japanese interregional input‐output system consisting Kyushu, Kanto, rest Japan. pattern changed noticeably over period. primary drivers from expansion final demand within direct indirect outside Kyushu. unambiguously indicates that has facilitated...

We use the perpetual inventory method to estimate gross fixed capital stock at provincial level in I ndonesia. employ a relatively long series of past annual investments constant prices for 1983–2007 and province‐specific survival function capital. For this purpose, we published data on income accounts, input–output tables, surveys from existing studies. Capital was found be over‐concentrated Java‐Bali region inefficiently distributed among provinces. This distribution contributed national...

This study empirically identifies some factors of interregional income inequality in postwar Japan during the period 1955–2005 using a decomposition analysis with Theil L index and gap accounting analysis. One major empirical finding was that per capita GDP showed double peaked M‐shaped curve, which predominantly attributed to labor productivity. The sectoral revealed caused fluctuations productivity differed from year year. 1960–1980 were by an intersectoral equilibrating process between...

Using the Theil population-weighted method for per capita GDP and variance in a shift-share analysis on labor productivity, we conduct comprehensive interregional income inequality decomposition Indonesia before after 1998 economic crisis. Interregional is largely determined by productivity differential component due to region's specific sector-by-sector differentials—the result of investments accumulated technology, public infrastructure human capital. Although differentials show declining...

Under market-oriented factor mobility, capital and labor relocate to regions offering higher returns. In consequence, the more inputs go subnational with productivities, greater increase in national output. Interregional mobility reflects output growth of a region and, turn, nation. However, Indonesia, extent which interregional has been efficiently distributed only infrequently examined because constraints on provincial data.Using estimates from Kataoka [10], present study efficiency...

Economic downturns may affect men more than women (mancession) or vice versa (shecession). However, evidence of this phenomenon during COVID-19 in Indonesia remains inconclusive, with studies often overlooking quantile variations and missing observation biases. Using logistic regression multiple imputations Blinder – Oaxaca inequality decomposition through unconditional regressions on labour force survey data, we find that the pandemic's impact individual workers varied by gender probability...

<title>Abstract</title> Economic downturns affect regions unevenly, highlighting regional income disparities. While some studies find that reduce inequality, others report persistent or worsening Kenya, the seventh most populous nation in Africa, comprises 47 counties with diverse ethnic and geographical landscapes, where inequality has attracted considerable public attention. This study examined spatial distribution of per capita Gross County Product (GCP) together industrial factors...

Abstract Our exploratory spatial data analysis covered Indonesia's district‐level per capita incomes for 2004–2018 and found statistical evidence of a weak but monotonically increasing positive association. The income clusters/outliers were scattered nationwide expanded geographically. Applying the filtering method, we that regional cyclical shocks significantly influenced association, largely in resource‐rich districts, identified locations persistent association immune to shocks. We also...
