The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the efficiency and effectiveness of local government expenditure on education sector in districts and cities level of East Java, during the periods 2007-2014. Furthermore, this study will evaluate the impacts of local government expenditure, household expenditure for education, and regional product domestic bruto or (PDRB) on the educational outcomes, namely education index.Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is selected as the methodology for analyzing the efficiency of local government expenditure on educational outcome. The model assumes constant return to scale (CRS) and variable return to scale (VRS). Measurement of the effectiveness of government spending is done by using panel data regression. Data for supporting the analyses is panel data from 38 districts and cities in East Java for the periods of 2007 – 2014. The results show that government expenditure in educational sector is relatively inefficient. Government Expenditure for Education (PPP) has no significant impact on educational index, while Household expenditure for education (PPRT) and GRDP per Capita positive has significant impact on the Education Index (IP). This imply that government expenditure for educational sector is not effective improving educational index.

Purpose of the study: This research aims to empirically prove the composition of local government expenditure (education, health, marine and fisheries, agriculture, and general allocation fund) on economic growth in 18 provinces in Indonesia from 2010 to 2015. Methodology: The model used in this research is panel data regression. The use of panel data in regression can provide more information that cannot be provided by cross-section or time-series data, and provides the best solution for inferring dynamic changes than cross-section data. Main Findings: The findings in this study are foreign investment has no influence on economic growth. Fiscal policies that are carried out are not effective in encouraging economic growth, and the use of the General Allocation Fund is not on target. Applications of this study: Foreign investment must be a trigger for the local economy and the national economy by means of foreign investment in Indonesia which is prioritized using raw materials and local labour, so that dependence on imported raw materials can be minimized. To overcome leakage of development budget must implement a budgeting system that is oriented towards organizational output and is very closely related to the organization's vision, mission, and strategic plan. The use of general allocation funds needs to be monitored by certain institutions and prioritizing public interest.

Regional autonomy has provided a rightful authority for local governments to set and manage their own governmental affairs. The implication derived from this regulation is that local governments have to fulfill the regions’ needs as well as to explore much more potentials owned. This can enhance the capacity of local governments that could be a useful capital in financing operational programs. This research aims to analyse the influence of region own source revenue, balance fund, and other lawful local revenues on local government expenditure of regencies and city in Papua Barat province between 2010 and 2015. Sample in this research includes six regencies and one city. Panel data regression was employed to estimate the fitted model. The result indicated that the effects of balance fund and other lawful local revenues were positive and significant, whereas the influence of region own source revenue was not significant on government expenditure of regency/city in Papua Barat.

One of the implementations of autonomy policy is fiscal decentralization. The State gives chance to every local government for improving its fiscal ability. Original Local Government Revenue (PAD) is fiscal potency owned local government to improve local government independence to promote welfare to society. To accelerate fiscal independence of local government equally, the central government sends transfer funds in the form of General Allocation Funds (DAU) which aims to comply local government expenditure that has not fulfilled. However, problems faced is local government expenditure management still much more affected by DAU rather than PAD. It indicates that local government still depends on central government to comply expenditure called flypaper effect. This research aims to analyze the effect of PAD and DAU on local government expenditure by identifying whether occurs flypaper on provincial government in Indonesia. The method used in this research is analysis regression of panel data with Generalized Least Square (GLS). Data used is panel data from 34 provinces in Indonesia between 2008-2017. Based on results estimation, PAD and DAU positively and significantly affect local government expenditure. However, the DAU more affects local government expenditure compared with PAD. This exhibits that flypaper effect phenomenon occurred on provincial government in Indonesia which local government expenditure response more affected by DAU than PAD. It is happening due to the provincial government still relies on central government to comply its expenditure illustrated with high DAU transfers. This research concludes that decentralization policy in Indonesia is not effective yet. Thus, the government needs to adjust decentralization policy in order to improve regional fiscal independence.

East Kalimantan Province is the largest producer of natural resources in Indonesia. Due to the massive exploitation process and high value, the mining sector has the biggest contribution and thus dominates the economy sector in the region. Related to this conditions, this study aims to describe the effect the effect of coal as natural resource on income inequality in East Kalimantan Province. This study uses panel data from nine districts/municipalities in East Kalimantan during 2006 until 2014, which is then processed by a pooled least square model. The study concludes that the contribution of coal sub-sectors in the economy is positively related to income inequality. The higher the contribution of coal subsector in the economy, the higher the income inequality in East Kalimantan Province. In addition, this study also finds that local government expenditure is not significantly related to income inequality, which means that the local government has not succeeded in creating equal prosperity in that region. However, the economic growth and the contribution of agricultural sector have no significant effect on income inequality.  Keywords: income inequality, natural resources curse,government expenditure. Provinsi Kalimantan Timur merupakan provinsi penghasil sumber daya alam terbesar di Indonesia. Akibat proses eksploitasi yang massive dan nilai yang tinggi, sektor pertambangan sangat mendominasi perekonomian daerah tersebut. Dari sekian banyak sumber daya alam yang ada di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur, batubara adalah yang paling besar kontribusinya terhadap perekonomian. Terkait kondisi tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh kekayaan sumber daya alambatubara terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Penelitian ini menggunakan data panel dari sembilan daerah kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur selama tahun 2006-2014, yang kemudian diolah menggunakan model pooled least square. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa kontribusi subsektor batubara dalam perekonomian berhubungan positif dengan ketimpangan pendapatan. Semakin tinggi kontribusi subsektor batubara dalam perekonomian, semakin tinggi pula ketimpangan pendapatan di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Selain itu dalam penelitian ini ditemukan pula bahwa pengeluaran pemerintah berhubungan positifdengan ketimpangan pendapatan, yang berarti pemerintah daerah belum berhasil menciptakan pemerataan kesejahteraan di wilayahnya. Adapun pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kontribusi sektor pertanian dalam perekonomian Provinsi Kalimantan Timur terbukti tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan.  Kata kunci: ketimpangan pendapatan, kutukan sumber daya alam, pengeluaran pemerintah
