Economic growth and interprovincial income inequality in Indonesia: Panel data analysis of provincial production factors

生产要素的区域不平衡是区域收入不平等的重要决定因素。本研究考察了生产要素的区域间不平衡对印尼国家和区域经济增长的影响，以帮助更好地为政策制定提供信息。在这个研究项目进行的三年中，我们获得了以下四项研究成果：(1)按省份估算资本存量价值；(2)按省份估算资本对经济的产出效应；(3)在省级生产函数估算结果的基础上，计算要素投入在各省之间的福利最大化配置；(4)考察各省之间的投资配置政策，重点关注效率、公平和/或权衡限制下的再分配。

The regional imbalance of production factors is a key determinant of regional income inequality. This study examines the effects of interregional imbalance in production factors on national and regional economic growth in Indonesia, to help better inform policymaking. In the three years during which this research project took place, we garnered the following four research findings: (1) estimations of capital stock values, by province, (2) the output effects of capital on the economy, by province, (3) calculations of the welfare-maximizing allocation of factor inputs across the provinces, given the estimation results of the province-level production function, and (4) an examination of investment allocation policy across the provinces, with emphasis on efficiency, equity, and/or redistribution under a trade-off restriction.
