Indonesia’s New Fiscal Decentralisation Law: A Critical Assessment Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (IF 3.269) Pub Date : 2023-04-05 Blane D. Lewis
Indonesia’s new law on fiscal decentralisation, Law 1/2022, begins implementation this year. The legislation makes numerous noteworthy technical adjustments to the intergovernmental fiscal framework. The broader, more implicit intent of the law is clearly to facilitate more central government control over regions. The increased control is operationalised through a variety of standard public finance

ABSTRACT The government of Indonesia has launched subsidized electricity tariffs and a massive electrification campaign to improve the quality of life.

Spatial Sorting of Rich Versus Poor People in Jakarta Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (IF 3.269) Pub Date : 2022-08-18 Kyri Maaike Joey Janssen, Peter Mulder, Muhammad Halley Yudhistira
We test an adjusted version of the classic monocentric-city model to explain the spatial sorting of rich versus poor people in Jakarta. We find that in Jakarta (1) the urban rich tend to live in the city centre; (2) because of extreme congestion levels, the elasticity between income and the opportunity cost of time spent commuting is higher than the elasticity between income and demand for larger plots

We employ the spatial Durbin model for our estimation and allow labour markets to be spatially correlated across districts. Our findings suggest that a minimum-wage rise affects mainly the local labour market where the minimum-wage

Domestic and international mobility restrictions helped to reduce the numbers of confirmed Covid-19 cases until the end of 2021. Indonesia entered 2022 with caution, however, as Omicron cases began to rise. Recent success in managing the pandemic has coincided with what might be the start of an economic recovery, in no small part driven by high commodity prices—mainly for coal and palm oil—improving

The Status of Palm Oil Under the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive: Sustainability or Protectionism? Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (IF 3.269) Pub Date : 2022-04-14 Adam Tyson, Eugenia Meganingtyas
According to the European Union’s recast Renewable Energy Directive (RED II), the EU aims to phase out feedstock biofuels that involve high indirect land-use change (ILUC) by 2030, which includes crude palm oil only. Indonesia, the world’s leading producer of crude palm oil, contests this regulation, claiming that the classification of biofuels as being produced with high- or low-risk ILUC is discriminatory

Covid-19 remained the largest challenge for the Indonesian economy in 2021. In particular, Covid-19 case numbers hit a new high of about 50,000 cases per day in mid-July. In response, the government increased the contact tracing and testing of suspected positive cases, expanded its Covid-19 vaccination drive and introduced stricter mobility and activity restrictions (PPKM Darurat/PPKM Levels 1–4).
