Social Media and Religious Intolerance in Indonesia
Indonesia has simultaneously experienced rapid growth in social media use and persistent concerns about rising religious intolerance, prompting widespread assumptions that digital platforms are fueling intolerance. Yet, the literature offers mixed predictions: social media may heighten hostility through echo-chamber dynamics, reduce prejudice through weak-tie intergroup contact, or generate little attitudinal change on religious tolerance. Drawin…
A Climate-Relevant Development or Development-Relevant Climate Agenda
This paper approaches the question of defining development by examining the interplay between climate and development agendas, questioning whether current approaches prioritize a climate-relevant development framework or a development-relevant climate strategy. Despite global commitments under the Paris Agreement, efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 °C remain inadequate. This inadequacy stems not only from political hurdles but also from econo…
Structural transformation and regional inequality differential in Indonesia
Indonesia is one of the world's largest developing countries, as evidenced by its position as the fourth most populous nation and its status as an archipelago. Each island and province has unique endowment factors, making national-level studies insufficient to fully capture regional disparities. This study addresses this issue by examining the relationship between structural transformation and regional inequality differentials in both regional an…
Will the poverty‐related UN Sustainable Development Goals be met? New projections
In this paper, we discuss the literature and consider the historical relationship between growth and a set of poverty‐related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically extreme monetary poverty, undernutrition, stunting, child mortality, maternal mortality and access to clean water. We then make projections for 2030. We find that it is very likely that global poverty‐related SDGs will not be met and by a considerable distance. The implica…
Pandemic‐induced De‐urbanization in Indonesia: Urban and Rural Impacts
In Indonesia, the negative health impact of COVID‐19 and the initial, direct loss of employment have been largest in urban, not rural areas. But the second‐round effects on labor markets have been very different. They have included a huge, empirically documented migration of newly unemployed urban workers from urban to rural areas, in urgent search of employment, food, and safety from the pandemic. We call this “de‐urbanization.” It placed the mi…

Indonesian capital city relocation and regional economy's transition toward less carbon-intensive economy: An inter-regional CGE analysis
Great Gatsby and the Global South: Intergenerational Mobility, Income Inequality, and Development
In the Global South economic mobility across generations or intergenerational economic mobility is in and of itself an important topic for research with consequences for policy. It concerns the 'stickiness' or otherwise of inequality because mobility is concerned with the extent to which children's economic outcomes are dependent on their parents' economic outcomes. Scholars have estimated levels of intergenerational mobility in many developed co…
Comparing Religious Intolerance in Indonesia by Affiliation to Muslim Organizations
Very few studies explicitly, let alone quantitatively, examine gaps in religious intolerance among individual Muslims based on a liation with major Muslim organizations in Indonesia. Most existing studies either focus on a single organization (non-comparative), are at the organizational policy level (not examining individual attitudes), or use a limited number of samples in their analysis. Against this backdrop, this study compares Indonesian Mus…
A direct test of Kuznets in a developing economy: A cross-district analysis of structural transformation and inequality in Indonesia
This paper empirically tests the Kuznets hypothesis that structural transformation–the movement of labour from low productivity to higher productivity sectors–is associated with rising inequality in a developing economy. We assemble a unique data set of inequality and sectoral employment shares of almost 300 districts of Indonesia and sector-specific measures of inequality for the period 1992–2017. Unlike studies that use value added shares to te…
Double Dividends and Mixed Blessings: Structural Transformation, Income Inequality and Employment Dynamics
This paper provides an introduction to a special section on structural transformation, income inequality and employment dynamics. The set of papers in the special section in different ways revisit the seminal works of Lewis, Kuznets and Kaldor in a contemporary context
On Socio-Economic Predictors of Religious Intolerance: Evidence from a Large-Scale Longitudinal Survey in the Largest Muslim Democracy
Motivated by increasing religious intolerance, we study the socio-economic covariates of individual-level religious intolerance in Indonesia, the largest Muslim democracy in the world. We use panel data from 2007 and 2014 of more than 20,000 adult individuals (representing 83% of the population) and apply fixed-effect regression analysis to identify relevant socio-economic characteristics that are highly associated with religious intolerance at t…
Growth, Poverty, and Inequality under Jokowi
The political authority of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) was bolstered in the third quarter of 2015 by a cabinet reshuffle, his coalition's gaining a parliamentary majority, and several foreign-policy developments. Indonesia's request to rejoin OPEC, for example, after having left in 2008, seemed more about international relations than oil prices, while official visits to the Middle East and the United States allowed Jokowi to project his presid…
Twenty Years of Expenditure Inequality in Indonesia, 1993–2013
In this article, we consider the recent increase in inequality in Indonesia. We make new, consistent estimates of expenditure inequality for 1993-2013, using several measures that draw on household expenditure data from the National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas) for 1993-2013. In doing so, we note that the central statistics agency, Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS), used grouped data for its estimates of inequality until 2009 and that this underestim…
Survey of recent developments
Indonesia has so far suffered a relatively mild impact from the global financial crisis. Its economy grew at 4% in the year to June 2009, displaying a more resilient response than some of its neighbours. Fiscal stimulus measures, deft monetary policy and cash transfers to the poor served to soften the impact of the crisis. Parliamentary elections in April and presidential elections in July provided further economic stimulus. Election-related spen…
