The Indonesian Economy
Surveys in English of Indonesia's economy have tended to be by non-Indonesians – such as Anne Booth's The Indonesian Economy in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries: A History of Missed Opportuni
Revisiting growth and poverty reduction in Indonesia
"Indonesia has an impressive record of economic growth and poverty reduction over the past two decades. The growth-poverty nexus appears strong at the aggregate level. Newly constructed panel data on the country's 285 districts (kotamadyas/kabupatens), however, reveal huge differences in poverty changes, subnational economic growth, and local attributes. Results of econometric analysis show that besides growth, other factors directly influence th…
Poverty and Inequality in Indonesia
This article argues that the decline in the incidence of poverty in Indonesia during the past two decades, as shown by the official estimates, is statistically as well as practically significant. Decomposition results using the official estimates indicate that intra-sectoral effects, in particular the decline in rural poverty in the 1980s, were the largest contributor to the drop in aggregate poverty. The decomposition also shows an unexpected re…

Urban–Rural Differences in Costs of Living and Their Impact on Poverty Measures
This note demonstrates empirically the importance of urban-rural price differences and inflation figures in poverty analysis. Using data from the National Socio-Economic Survey (Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional, widely known as Susenas), it shows that the urban-rural food price differential during the period 1987–96 was 13–16%, not 28–52% as impli by the ‘official’ food poverty lines. The urban–rural poverty comparisons and the components of change…
Inequality Trends in Indonesia, 1969–1981
This paper attempts to clarify the debate over trends in inequality in Indonesia from 1969 to 1981, by adjusting die standard inequality measures for the differential impact of inflation on different expenditure groups. It is shown that, once such adjustment is made, inequality increased in Indonesia between 1969/70 and 1976, but declined between 1976 and 1981. Adjustments are also made to the inequality indicators for urban and rural areas, and …
