Increasing productivity of rice generally depends on a variety of additional inputs. Various systems are designed for farmers to increase incomes and improve land productivity. SRI method is a potential technology to increase rice production management based on the cultivation of land, plants and water through the empowerment of groups and local knowledge-based eco-friendly activities. The application of SRI method requires a study of innovation adoption and optimal strategies for farmers. This study uses institutional descriptive analysis; LFA (Logical Framework Analysis) and experimental economics. The results showed that (1) The role and focus of government institutions is an increase in production through the application of various technologies. Performance of local institutions have an important a role of cultivation introduction and depends on the active community leader or head of the farmer or P3A Mitra Cai; (2) Incentives system for farmers in the application SRI paddy method is marketing insurance with favorable price, (3) the application of SRI paddy cultivation requires strengthening group farmer and P3A Mitra Cai in regulating water, organic agricultural input and marketing of products through the application of water fee rates (ipair) based on fair remuneration system; and (4) the incentives for farmers to encourage the application of SRI paddy cultivation is the provision compensation if there is a decrease in production. The existence of information on SRI Method have real impact.

Conceptually, there are many views in viewing the concept of poverty. So the issues may include social, economic, cultural and even political aspects. In spatial aspect, National Statistics Bureau (BPS) has also made distinctions between rural and urban poverty since 1999. This variance sometimes makes it difficult for undergraduate researchers to conduct an assessment of this issue. Therefore, this article attempts to analyze and strive to understand the character of urban poverty by using fourteen measures used by BPS. Fourteen indicators were then tested in the field using survey and observation methods. The results of the survey and observation are discussed further in this article

This study provides empirical evidence by analyzing SRI adoption in the small farm sector in Citarum river basin, West Java, upstream region represented by Cianjur while the downstream region is represented by Karawang. Rice production will increase by application of the SRI method although there are additional costs related to farm labor. At the same price of rice, in the short run, increasing in production will increase farmers'income and in the long run, maintain the ecological sustainability of land. Increased production and improved soil conditions will ensure self-sufficiency of small farmers. The root problem and key issues in the implementation of SRI method at Cianjur related with lack of incentives for farmers to implement new methods. As in Karawang, the root cause of application SRI method related with no guarantee of market and government policyrelated market aspects.

In an effort of searching for a new source of revenue for funding the infrastructure development for Indonesia, the government chose to do tax amnesty in 2016. This research was conducted to study the effects of factors (wealth, tariff periods, tax penalties, and audit probability) towards tax compliance. Tax compliance measured from the number of units reported by taxpayers, the amount of value indicated by taxpayers, and participation from taxpayers. The study uses primary data that generated through experimental economics. The methods used are Variance Analysis. The result showed that the taxpayer with higher income has lower compliance rather than the taxpayer from lower income. The taxpayers prefer to report their assets at lower rates. The effort of enforcement from the government by implementing tax penalties and audit probability shows greater effect towards tax compliance.DOI:10.15408/etk.v17i1.6966

Redenomination is a simplification of nominal value of currency by reducing digit (zero number) without reducing the real value of the currency. The main objective of this research was to examine whether the economic conditions at the time of redenomination may affect the success of currency redenomination. The methods used were regression analysis on historical data of 30 countries which are involved in redenominating their currencies, economic experiments with t-test, and survey of people' perspective. Based on regression analysis, inflation will decrease and economic growth will rise higher after redenomination, if previously a country have experienced high economic growth as well. Based on experimental research, when inflation was high, redenomination could increase the selling price. Otherwise, when inflation was low, redenomination could decrease the selling price. Changes in selling price after redenomination was not affected significantly by differences in economic growth conditions. In different economic conditions, redenomination policy did not significantly affect the changes number of transactions and total value of transactions in the market. From the survey results, public did not believe government can control inflation after redenomination. Redenomination also will not affect consumption pattern.

The West-East corridor is one of the main gateways to enter West Sumatra Province. The West-East corridor, which passes through 65 districts, has a variety of potentials and problems. This means, the growth rate of each district will be different. The growth rate and strength of the relationship among regions can be observed through the gravity model's spatial interactions. The gravity model can calculate the relative strength of the relationship between regions. To see the strength of the relationship among regions in the West-East corridor, strategic economic areas were taken into considerations based on their distance and several observational variables, which were the total population variable, infrastructure completeness, level of security, and investment value. Observation analysis units consisted of sixty-five sub-districts along the West-East corridor. Mass 1 (M1) was the central government, West Padang district, and mass 2 (M2) was the other 64 sub-districts. The analysis results show that the total population, infrastructure completeness, level of security, and investment value are not only influenced by their closeness to the government/city center. The infrastructure completeness factor can influence the total population in a region. Likewise, the investment value can be influenced by the infrastructure completeness and the level of security in a region.JEL Classification: O10; R12; R19

Fiscal decentralization is one of the government's strategies to improve people's welfare. The fiscal decentralization policy instrument that can directly affect the quality of local government spending is The Specific Allocation Fund (DAK). The DAK management in the financial aspect has a few problems, nonoptimal regional government performance and mismatched allocation and government needs. Proposal based The Specific Allocation Fund (DAK) hopefully could adjust the development priorities determined by regional conditions, government needs, and undeveloped villages with high-level poverty. Pandeglang and Lebak Regency are the region with the highest poverty level in Banten Province. This study aims to analyze the DAK effect of each sector on poverty in Pandeglang and Lebak Regency. The analysis used Geographical Weighted Regression (GWR) with DAK data for each field in 2018 and poverty data in 2019. The result showed that DAK variables in education, health, and agriculture tended not to reduce poverty rates. The DAK variable in the housing and settlement sector, the marine and fisheries sector, the tourism sector, and the market sector tended to reduce poverty. At the same time, the DAK variable in Road, sanitation, and village funds tended to reduce poverty levels in most districts. Based on the study, the poverty alleviation program in each district is adjusted to each of the DAK sectors that are influential. However, the result indicated that the adjustment of DAK sectors influenced the poverty alleviation program in every district in Pandeglang and Lebak Regency.

Anti-poverty programs and policies are designed similar for all regions in Indonesia, disregarding the local socio-culture and the poverty spatial pattern of the regions. The approach is based on central government's program and not based on each region's locality. This generic programming approach caused the achievement of development goals decline. The effect of space on poverty can be identified by the presence of spatial autocorrelation, which is the link between the examined variable to itself in a spatial manner or commonly referred to as spatial dependence.The aim of this paper is to investigate the global and local spatial autocorrelation for micro poverty data set in Bengkulu City in order to identify spatial approach for its anti-poverty program. Global Moran Index (MI) tests identifies the overall occurrence of autocorrelation, meanwhile the local spatial test shows which subdistricts has the presence of autocorrelation. Global and local MI are popular tools utilized to calculate the spatial effect, particularly to present spatial dependencies. The relation between urban village linkages obtained an MI value of 0.322. This MI value indicates the presence of spatial autocorrelation for subdistricts located in cluster. In local spatial effect observation using Local Indicator of Spatial Autocorrelation (LISA), its discovered that there are several subdistricts having autocorrelation, meanwhile the rest are not significant. Cluster mapping on global MI and LISA shows high-high poverty districts are located in the south of the city, low-high poverty districts in the east, and low-low high-low poverty districts near the city center.

Budgetary support from the government is one of its forms of seriousness in an effort to foster the food security. This study aims to analyze the regional financial capacity, as well as the budget allocation for the development of food security in the East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT), South Central Timor Regency (TTS), and Rote Ndao Regency. The two analytical methods used are content analysis and descriptive statistics. NTT Province has a medium fiscal degree, a high level of regional financial dependency, and a low level of local financial independency. The local governments of both TTS Regency and Rote Ndao Regency have an extremely low degree of fiscal decentralization, a very high level of local financial dependency, and are not self-sufficient in terms of local financial independence. Local governments need to generate local revenues to reduce the dependency on the central government. The percentage of the budget for the development of food security amounted to only 7.04 percent for the province, 7.46 percent for TTS Regency, and 8.94 percent for Rote Ndao Regency. The subsystems of food availability are still the focus of the food security development in the province and regencies. The budget allocations for food security deserve an optimal portion and should be prioritized on the subsystems that have been the major issues in East Nusa Tenggara.

Indonesia has been an oil exporting country since 1965. Indonesia is currently in a period of declining in production but an increase in consumption has caused a trade deficit that continues to increase over time. Continuous production decline reflects limited discovery as a result of declining investment. The focus of the study is to evaluate variables affecting lifting, reserves and investment in oil and gas sector. Several VAR or VECM panel models are built to provide empirical evidence. The results of the empirical study give a recommendation for both fiscal and monetary policies. The impact of interest rate on investment is less significant, but the exchange rate and inflation are higher on investment. Therefore, monetary policy should be directed toward controlling inflation and moderate intervention from Central Bank to retard depreciation of Rupiah. The success rate of exploration activities to increase reserves is proven empirically relatively low. The Application of more advanced technology supported by R&D is an important component of fiscal policy so incentives need to be added to these two things to increase the success rate of exploration activities. Misinterpretation that cost recovery does not increase lifting can be corrected because the response of lifting due to cost recovery is positive. Government should reconsider the policy of eliminating the PSC Cost Recovery system by considering empirical evidence from the results of this study which proves misconceptions about cost recovery. The PSC Cost Recovery system is recommended to be reinstated in the future with improvements.

The sustainability of capture fisheries development in Indonesia faces various challenges, such as climate change, pollution, resource degradation, and pressure from fluctuating commodity prices.Furthermore, a policy breakthrough with proper strategy is needed in realizing sustainable capture fisheries development. This study aims to formulate the most appropriate policy from several existed alternative policies to achieve sustainable capture fisheries development. Primary and secondary data are used in this study. A prospective analysis (SMIC-Prob-Expert) approach is used to formulate priority policy scenarios for capture fisheries development in Indonesia. As results, the analysis brings about six main priority alternative policies, namely: (1) increasing utilization of fisheries resources (SDI), (2) increasing capture fisheries productivity, (3) increasing fishermen household income, (4) providing fisheries insurance/social security, (5) improving status utilization of SDI, and (6) increase in the value of capture fisheries non-tax state revenue (PNBP). The analysis shows that policy scenario 01 (111111) or by implementing all alternatives policy simultaneously is the best choice. If the policymakers are faced with options, then the policy scenario becomes the last option to be taken simultaneously is not to choose a policy of providing insurance/social security tofishermen; or in the in this case policy scenario 05 (111011).
